It is the state of dedication and zeal. It represents a psyche that is rationally relaxed, but emotionally and physically tense. We are in this state when searching to reshape things according to our sense of harmony, likings or desires. We are devoted to a passion and eager to execute. We focus on the emotional experience of our activities.

By definition, this is the state of focus in action, instinction and valuation. Its main characteristic is acting upon our desires, or valuing our activities, all while avoiding rational stress. This defines our ability to be emotionally exalted by the execution of activities, and not be concerned or contrived by rationalization.

People who have a constant tendency to this state focus on their actions and feelings. They have quick response to their emotions. Their attention goes towards their physical execution at any moment, its thrills and elaboration. For them, developing keen instincts is more pressing than logic or theory; they want to follow their heart. They have a clear appreciation of beauty and values, but could tend to prefer habitual likings. They are excellent at providing and caring for others, but might be strict or possessive. They tend to follow personal criteria more than social norms when deciding how to act and expect others to act. They tend to have a fun, vibrant and lively personality, but be actually shy or selective about their circles. They tend to prefer independent activities; this might be because of their particularities or to avoid confrontation. They can be intense when confronted.

People that are strongly passional focus on their here and now, and are in tune with their emotions. They are competitive, sensitive to obstacles or boundaries, and eager to respond and defend what they love. They also look to be in physical control while letting emotions run free. They are not afraid of conflict and euphoria. They have low patience for rigorous analysis or academic environments. They are organized in a very instinctive manner, based on routines, skills and tastes.

Tendencies towards introversion:

Action cultivates competition and impatience; prompting self-reliance.

Instinction cultivates arbitrarity and rebelliousness; prompting self-confidence.

Valuation cultivates particularities and sensibility; prompting self-absorption.
