Physical: Sensation

Focus on the perception of tangible senses and space; attention and response to surroundings and actuality.

It is the state of coordination and management. It represents a psyche that is rationally tense, but physically and emotionally flexible. We are in this state when we make social plans and projections. We are attentive to the mission, scheme or design in order to see it executed. Our interest is not to act or build, instead it is to inspect, guide and arrange. We clarify, point things out, designate and keep the order. This state is mostly social, open to emotions and is alert to what goes around, but its main focus is finding or clarifying the purpose of things.

By definition, this is the state of sensation, regulation and inspiration. Its main characteristic is observing plans, bringing order to social interaction, and excitement to technical aspects. This defines our ability to guide ourselves and others, or our surroundings according to an established goal.


People who have a constant tendency to this state focus on their analysis and environment. They have a strong sense of responsibility and expect this from others. They concentrate in projecting their goals on their lives and surroundings. For them, having a clear purpose is more pressing than instinctive impulses or emotional sensibility. They are supporters of things for which they see an outcome, but more intolerant of ones they don’t understand. They can be good critics of the work of others, although they may have low tolerance for slacking, ignorance, or irrationality. But, they are committed to instruction and sharing. They like academic environments, especially if oriented towards events planning, counselling, business or entrepreneurship. They are sociable, make it a regular task to have pleasant and friendly fun, and are great fans of celebrating accomplishments. They are ordered with people, plans and goal, not necessarily space.

People that are strongly managerial feel a need to stick to the vision. In this sense they can be judgmental or sensitive to irresponsibility and chaos. Their goal is not becoming a sole executor or leading star, they prefer directing or planning, and most of all, they like teamwork. They enjoy intellectual pursues, but rather the ones that involve physical execution, and social impact.
