Aristippus type (FLVE) description

Aristippus type are characterized by a rather gloomy worldview and is often drawn to the so-called “aesthetics of the repugnant”. They often occupies the position of a gray cardinal in society, who has extraordinary ambitions but at the same time avoid drawing attention to themself. They are vindictive and find it difficult to forgive offenses because they are very concerned about the inviolability of their social status. They are often slow in movements and speaks in a quiet voice.

In society, individuals with the FLVE type rarely enjoy popularity, and they usually come across as unpleasant to others. They seek to inspire fear rather than love and strive for power. Once they obtain power, they tend to display their worst qualities. They are very intelligent and have good foresight, which makes them prone to intrigues and secrets. In social situations, they can be vulgar and repel others with their cynicism.

Aristippus is a person whose greed is combined with caring for loved ones. They tend to divide people into their own and strangers, and are generally distrustful. They only open up to individuals who impress them as altruists, and they believe that no hidden motives are pursued when communicating with them. They enjoy jokes and fun, but they do not have a subtle sense of humor and can be coarse. With a high level of intelligence, they tend to be ironic and mocking.

FLVE is often regarded as the most dangerous, as many criminals and tyrants have had this function stack. However, they also strive for safety and seek sincere, unambitious individuals who do not compete with them. Aristippus, like all holders of 3V, perceives superiority over oneself in any area of life as painful. Only such a person will be able to approach them and use their immense thirst for self-assertion for good.
