Essence: simply doing your work and your duty.
Simply doing your work
Their duty mainly consists of carrying out their task. They are very conscientious and take on their task in a rather naive sort of way. They work hard and are very capable, the builders of society. They are practical and pragmatic and work at a steady pace: not really workaholics, more steady plodders.
Doing your duty without thinking: a matter of principle.
These are people with strong principles. They have fixed rules and they like to stick to them. They are reliable, stable, self assured, serious and responsible: in short, you can depend on them, ‘he is a man of his word’.
Carrying out the task on their own
They are people you shouldn’t interfere with. They take on a certain task and get on with it, they will decide for themselves how to go about it. They prefer to work alone and stoically follow their own routines. They don’t want their family or friends to interfere. They have left the family stage (Silicium) behind and they will turn against them if they are disturbed.
Simply maintaining order: control
In order to be able to live according to their principles they have to keep every single part of their life under control, particularly their emotions. They prefer a routine based existence and dislike new and unexpected events. The artistic and playful side hardly gets a look in. They may appear materialistic, but it is more a down to earth type of pragmatism than plain selfishness.
Naively following routines: rigidity
After a while the principles and the control may start to take over and they are no longer able to reflect on their own actions. All that matters is that the job gets done. They don’t want to discuss their principles with others either, they gradually get more and more closed, dogmatic, moralistic and conservative. And although they are sensitive to criticism, they tend to brush it aside because nobody seems to understand that they simply have to carry out their task.
Impulses lead to failure
Their impulsive optimism can lead to great successes, but it can also lead to failure. They stick to their chosen plan and if this happens to be not very carefully thought through it inevitably leads to failure.
