Tolstoy type (VEFL) description

Tolstoy is a representative of a type of person who is successful in dancing, design, professions related to image and style, as well as in romantic relationships. Even being introverts by temperament, VEFL strive to express themselves in society, flirt, and engage in exciting romantic relationships. They are very successful at it, as VEFLs are confident and charismatic individuals. This is truly a “star” type, in both good and bad senses. On the one hand, they can easily take on a leadership role, be the life of the party, and feel great when all eyes are on them. On the other hand, they can give the impression of being unattainable perfectionists, someone who looks down on others.

VEFLs are usually ambitious people who set themselves grandiose goals and do not like to discuss them with anyone. When making decisions, they do not take into account the opinions of other people, which can make them appear selfish. They are very independent and self-sufficient. However, it is precisely these qualities that attract others to them, evoke admiration and a desire to emulate them.

Tolstoy is a very pleasant type to communicate with, especially if they want to win over their interlocutor. They are light, unobtrusive, do not emotionally pressure others, and at the same time are very insightful, sensing the mood of others and knowing how to influence it. However, if necessary, VEFL can also express their contempt for a person just as subtly and cause embarrassment. The main thing is that they always control this process themselves, and it is impossible to catch them off guard and put them in an awkward position. This type is simply created for a social life.

Striving for perfection, Tolstoy takes great care of their appearance. They are well-groomed and neat people who do not miss any detail. They take the quality of the food they consume, as well as living conditions – comfort, cleanliness, and the quality of the things around them – just as seriously. In close relationships, VEFLs are affectionate, love tactile contact, but at the same time, they are capricious and need to be evaluated and advised, but delicately, so as not to offend them. They themselves are very careful not to violate other people’s physical boundaries and expect the same from others.
