Plato type (LFVE) description

Based on the model of this type, Plato is a person who naturally has their own definite opinion on everything. They do not want to prove it to anyone or revise it because they are not only confident in their intelligence but also indifferent to others’ opinions. They are interested in slowly exploring new information, putting together a comprehensive picture of the world for themselves. Typically, this type believes that they are much smarter than the people around them and can use their reasoning for self-affirmation. LFVE explains their thoughts simply and clearly, does not like to engage in discussions, and does not care whether others agree with them or not.

Plato is active, has good physical shape, and looks down on those who are not as active or do not take care of themselves enough, in their opinion. They value their physical strength as an infallible tool of influence on people and do not consider it shameful to use physical force, even if they do not show aggression externally. This eventually surfaces in relationships. Their mood greatly depends on the satisfaction of physical needs, such as whether they slept well, are hungry or have eaten. LFVE can limit themselves and lead an almost ascetic lifestyle if circumstances force them to (such as poverty), but basic needs must always be satisfied.

Plato is very prone to envy. Their self-esteem is fragile and dynamically changing; even the slightest failures or others’ success can deprive them of motivation for further actions. LFVE is very ambitious and does not see themselves living the life of a “little person.” Status and recognition are important to them. They try to be decisive, but fluctuations in motivation lead to Plato not doing what they planned and not keeping their promises.

LFVE is often ruthless towards other people. They hardly feel attachment, easily break relationships (with rare exceptions), and are not predisposed to empathy and sympathy. They can simulate emotional interaction if they need it for some purposes, but it will be shallow and patterned, and their insincerity in this case is easy to detect.

In order for you to create a more complete image of Plato, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the descriptions of their functions (1L, 2F, 3V and 4E), as well as their accentuations (1L, 2F, 3V and 4E).
