- follow the logic of the situation quite rigorously and forget other
people's emotions and responses.
- cope with emotional situations in
a way that appears relatively unskilled and rigid. These areas may seem

decisions.
- be unaware of the strength of their own feelings until they become
obsessed with an idea or a person; or find themselves responding to
emotional issues with an uncharacteristic touchiness.
- seem on the outside to be dry,
materialistic and untouched by human feelings and values.
- spend little effort on questioning their own values and beliefs. This
confers a great sense of certainty, but at the expense of ignorance of
alternatives and amazement when others see things in quite a different
light.
- rarely express or share their deepest feelings.
- find it hard to take a middle path between extremes of emotional
approval or disapproval. They can make fine distinctions of logic, but
find distinctions in the emotional field much less easy.

personal warmth as well as considerable insensitivity.

'loose ends' and feel irritated by people who do not share this
interest.

standards and discipline, but hard to understand why others cannot do
this.

they may appear rather serious and more conventional than they really
are.
