Socrates type (VLEF) description

Of all the types with the First Volition, Socrates is the softest and most submissive outwardly. His determination and inner core do not stand out. These people are loners, although they usually have a small number of devoted followers who admire them. Nevertheless, the First Volition always leads people behind them due to their confidence, even without setting such a goal.

The isolation of VLEF is associated with problems in emotional self-expression. Because of this, Socrates is not inclined to value the emotions of other people. This type tends to evaluate people from the point of view of their willpower and intelligence, so a charismatic and pleasant person who is also stupid will only cause irritation to Socrates.

The democracy of the Second Logic does not manifest strongly in Socrates. In most cases, he considers his opinion to be the only correct one and seeks to open the eyes of those around him to the “truth”. But this does not prevent him from processing according to Logic. The expression “make people think” is very suitable for VLEF. He strives to awaken thought and intellectual abilities in every person, which is why the profession of a teacher is very suitable for this type.

VLEF is interested in the physical world only insofar as it affects his ability to achieve goals and intellectual activity. He tends to choose a lifestyle that maintains clarity and tone of mind, as well as adds energy for important tasks. To achieve this, Socrates can engage in sports, follow a regimen, give up addictions, etc.
