Orders1
EquisetalesEssenceThese personalities live with the idea that one has to follow the rules of the family. They think that their father, or the leader of the family knows best and that one has to follow those rules and obey, otherwise things will go wrong. Their father is the source for survival, bringing in the money and food.
This personality has a feeling of immaturity and not being grown up enough for the needs of modern society. This is enhanced by having a father who knows everything very well and blocks any discussion as he knows better, at least that is what he likes to show. His authority is not challenged and that gives security. At least that is how is it is for a while until the children have grown up and have to find their own way in society. They realise that they have never learned to know that they have an own way and what that is.

Conflicts with parents who do not acknowledge their way of being.
Homeless children in a big city, caring for their younger sibling.
