They may hold internal judgments when they witness people being immoral or harming others without caring. They believe that everyone should be able to do the right thing and are hurt personally when they see people being cruel towards others. Try to reserve judgments, but sometimes it is challenging when people continue to be harsh. In the end they are very forgiving and just want people to try harder.

What sort of clothes do they wear - male: Likes to wear things that are a bit unusual and quirky according to their personal aesthetic preferences as opposed to what is socially standard. They may be a bit unorthodox yet modest although they do like to look swanky. They want to look attractive and oftentimes have a very classy style sensibility that is different and intriguing. Because many of them have an artistic bend, Specialists may have a hipster streak and incorporate ironic juxtapositions into their wardrobe.

What sort of clothes do they wear - female: With a sensitive and kind nature usually enjoy the present moment more so than the past or future. Work in their own time and at their own pace. Not a fan of conflicts and arguments will enjoy an easygoing dress that requires minimal effort yet is also stylish.

As a house guest: As Host: Ok, you'll find it in a mess. As Guest: I might unexpectedly tell you when I'm coming and for how long.

Compatibility: Click here.

At the bar: Wants to hug everyone.

In the bedroom: Express Feelings Bedroomer. You see the physical act of sex as a prime opportunity to express your feelings for someone. To you it is one of the best ways to show someone that you truly care for them. You are capable of separating sex from love but see no value in those sorts of shallow experiences. You look for comfort and trust within a relationship and that translates well into your sex life. You are eager to make your partner feel loved and appreciated in the bedroom which they definitely appreciate.

Dalliance or not? Can be insecure and paranoid over the faithfulness of their partners. Consequently, they may allow themselves to cultivate side relationships that could later become their backup plan should their main relationship fail. They may also engage in emotional affairs if they do not receive the type of emotional support they feel they deserve.

How they deal with clutter: Leave Clutter. Perhaps it’s time to start cleaning. After assessing the situation thoroughly and devising a plan, you remember that you could really use a separate laundry bin for your whites and you need new dish cloths. The solution is to go and get some before you start. You might see if someone else has a better plan, further delaying action. Specialists like to work at their own pace and live in the present moment. Carrying a diary around allows them to jot down to-do lists to be completed at a later date, thoughts and ideas and all of their feelings.

What sort of kitchen: The Romantic Kitchen. You are gentle and flexible, with a strong sense of style. You'd be perfectly happy in a little Paris kitchen with airy lace curtains and a set of French doors that open out to the balcony. A good looking French companion would also not be out of place.

What religion: 47.98% of this pattern are religious. Rank: 3/16. Likely religion: Episcopal or Catholic.

Problems with faith / religion: This pattern can find it difficult to have faith in things but, at the same time they understand that the world is made up of more than what they can see. They follow their inner emotions and allow this to be their guide in life. There are times when they believe in things they cannot see, even though they are connected to the physical world around them. They often search for faith and want to be able to believe in something greater than themselves. Oxor™ calls the problems with faith operating in an environment of suspension of facts. All this is consistent with being a Feeler.

What they like at a music festival: Carried away at the festival. Got photographed for a magazine’s “Best of” festival fashion spread. Probably was the only person to memorize the lineup and the best time to leave the crowd and get hair dye, but also the last person to remember they have not eaten in 15 hours.

What they like as their musical instrument: Tuba. Why? The Specialist is loyal and affectionate with friends but is shy and has difficulty in meeting new friends. Like the tuba, the Specialist has a unique and warm presence.

What sort of friend: In touch, uplifting. The earthy and artistic friend, who knows more about pop culture than you. They are always current on what is popular and are very in touch with the world around them. Which is fine by you since they keep you hip. They may be a little bit of a hippie, but you love how in touch with nature they are. Can be lonely if do not have a “kindred spirit” in their life, have to pretend everything’s okay, when emotions show and and are judged for it. Prefer to have one or two very close, trusted friends over a large group of “halfway” friends.

Weird feature: Social Media Stalker. Wants to know everything about everyone. A fault with the phone will be seen as a catastrophe when, in fact, it does not matter. Tries anything. Show off body. Rank: 5/10.

In the classroom: Drawing in their sketch book.

Attitude to money and risk

Augmentation: Specialists, together with Results, Counselors and Achievers have a fondness for risk-taking, especially in the immediate context. However, they do like to have a certain amount of security when it comes to their home life and the people that are important to them. They like having a “home base” whether it’s an actual home, long-term friendships, a relationship, etc.. that they can return to at the end of the day (or week, or month). Specialist are quick to think on their feet and they tend to keep a steady head during a crisis. They are also good at scanning their environment for resources and solutions. Unlike some other types who might panic over a challenge, find themselves stimulated and invigorated by it. Specialists are always looking around for new experiences and enjoyment and they can sometimes become scattered and move from project to project without completing anything. This tends to play out in them jumping from job to job or passion to passion without finding long-term contentment. If they fail to inwardly analyse the opportunities they embark on then they can make poor choices that fail in the long-term and figure out whether what they are doing is logical or has lasting value. Sometimes it means allowing themselves to be bored because it is the most reasonable thing to do or it is the thing most in line with their values.

Spending money: Aesthetic. High Roller. Finely honed aesthetic tastes and are generally interested in expressing their identity to people with money. Look for high spending on clothing especially along with dining out with friends. More reserved than Developer and will scale back when required. Optimistic about risks.

Financial toxicity: Player - Safe. Pay what's due, when it's due. Simple. Will not splurge on themselves or you. However, the Specialist can be an Extractor. Is prone to always find ways to push the buying responsibilities with other people if they can. Trustworthy Ranking: Middle.

When Nefarious - actions are highly reprehensible or offensive in character

Self-serving, judgmental, indulgent. Easily lost in self-pity and bitterness over numerous perceived or misunderstood slights. They will go from stages of passive aggressive coldness to stages of self-righteous indignation. They live for the moment and can be exceedingly reckless; they habitually overeat, over-shop, drink too much, or seek pleasure without thought for how it might impact themselves or others. They are easily angered by people who don’t understand their intense emotional reactions, even though they never actually vocalise them. They are not swayed by logical arguments or reasonable discussion; everyone they allow into their life is at the mercy of their ever changing emotions. They may decide to shut people out entirely if they cannot get complete approval. Crimes: Drastic, murder. Unpaid parking tickets.

Bratty behaviour (Bratology™): Avoiding necessary confrontation. Conflict averse and need to realise that ironing out conflict and disputes is a necessary evil and avoiding confrontation often aggravates the situation. An alternate tendency is to drop the issue rather than risk offending the other party.

When guilty: Atone For Guilt. Forgiver Of Guilt. Very internal, compassionate and sensitive individuals, who may feel guilty over things that they shouldn’t. Strong internal morals, a desire to do what they believe is right. If feels like they have harmed someone in some way they will feel very upset this and will attempt to make things right, often apologizing for the tiniest things. Want to be a good person, working hard to follow their own morals. May stray from this path sometimes, but they always find ways to make up for their mistakes. In caring about others will experience guilt when a negative act affects people around them. The sense of consideration for others often makes it very easy to forgive. Shame: Compassionate outlook can often lead to feelings of shame. If feel like they have wronged someone, will definitely feel ashamed of themselves. Sometimes have a hard time living up to the expectations of others and may experience shame because of this. Needpeople in their lives that will love and accept them completely. Having a safe place to go where they do not feel judged, ill be able to cope with their shameful emotions.

Ingeniously Problematic™ behaviour: Sometimes. Is on display when it is clearly known what the desired outcome is, yet an assertion is made that may not be untruthful, is likely to be ambiguous and the author can use it to advantage. It is designed to give the recipient hope; reality may be 'bugger off' or (mis)leading you into taking up some sort of offer. It often involves blatant hypocrisy.

The Sir Robertson Sole symptoms™ - as the "asshole"!

The Fat Bulldog - The Winging, Crybaby R. Sole. Cuddly inside and out. Posses no logic at all and see no patterns in reality. Switches from petting animals at the zoo then go hang gliding afterwards for excitement. Some work fiercely on trying to come up with less obnoxious things for the subculture to do. This does not redeem them.

On R.Sole steroids - The Oblivious Narcissist. The most self-centered of all behaviour patterns, their desktop photos are of themselves, typically nude. Explaining to them that socialism is not true is impossible as their brains are incapable of abstract thought. Prone to marrying people who look like themselves.
Insulting tags: Not gifted. "You do not have any talent whatsoever". "You are bad at sport".
Worst quality: Flighty.
Prof. Sole nominates Nero, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Lewis Hamilton and Enya.

Robert Sole's Conviction™: The quiet, foolish and stupid person. Insane on both the outside and the inside.
