As Concrete Cooperators, Guardians speak mostly
of their duties and responsibilities, of what
they can keep an eye on and take good care of,
and they're careful to obey the laws, follow the
rules, and respect the rights of others.
As Abstract Utilitarian, Rationals speak mostly
of what new problems intrigue them and what new
solutions they envision, and always pragmatic,
they act as efficiently as possible to achieve
their objectives, ignoring arbitrary rules and
conventions if need be.
As Abstract Cooperators, Idealists speak mostly
of what they hope for and imagine might be
possible for people, and they want to act in good
conscience, always trying to reach their goals
without compromising their personal code of
ethics.
As Concrete, Artisans speak mostly about what
they see right in front of them, about what they
can get their hands on, and they will do whatever
works, whatever gives them a quick, effective
payoff, even if they have to bend the rules.
