Logical State

Archetype: Scientist/Analyst

The best concept to describe the focus of this state is Reason.

Physical: Abstraction

Focus on introspection and away from physical activity; impulses not driven by sensorial response, but from thoughts or feelings.

Rational: Regulation

Focus on rational conclusions; developing, following, and favoring rules, decisions, and structure.

Emotional: Dispassion

Focus on objectivity and away from affectivity; reactions not dictated by the emotional state of external factors.

It represents a psyche that is physically and emotionally relaxed, but rationally tense. We are in this state when being analytic and trying to find conceptual order and structure. Its ideal scenario is when everything makes sense and falls into place within our head; and when we want to find this order.

By definition, this is the state of focus in abstraction, regulation and dispassion. Its main characteristic is bringing order to concepts, thus determining our sense of rational certainty, all while avoiding physical and emotional stress. This defines our ability to structure and analyze abstract data, without being constricted, misguided or distracted by our immediate physical perception or emotional appreciation.

People who have a constant tendency to this state are ordered and reserved. They may tend to create systems and schedules to deal with things like physical needs or socializing. They are open to learn and appreciate things, but can be strict about their resolutions. Ideally, everything they do should have a reason. They show low interest for demanding physical activities, unless they see a clear purpose or goal, like fitness; they prefer personal training to group sports. They do not favor whimsical or sentimental ideas, and look to avoid emotional drama. They also dislike frivolities and reckless behaviors.

People that are strongly analytical create connections with those who share their convictions, and develop respect for intellectual leaders. They do not need constant presence or trivial chats in order to maintain relationships and commitments. They can mold habits and adopt measures quickly, if there is good reason to do so; but not if they cannot see a clear purpose for it. They fill rested when things make sense or are in order. They may be infatuated with ideas, ideals, things or people, but struggle with charisma or courage. They can be industrious, but dislike supervision, and prefer clear and strict methods and policies.

Tendencies towards introversion:

Abstraction cultivates timidity and awkwardness; prompting self-reliance.

Regulation cultivates righteousness and strictness; prompting self-confidence.

Dispassion cultivates aloofness and disinterest; prompting self-absorption.
