Rational Architect

You are introspective, pragmatic, informative, and attentive. The scientific systemization of all knowledge, or Architectonics, is highly developed in people like you, who are intensely curious and see the world as something to be understood. Your primary interest is to determine how things are structured, built, or configured. You are a designer of theoretical systems and new technologies. Rearranging the environment to fit your design is a distant goal for you.

You are logically and verbally precise. In casual conversations, you may be tempted to point out errors the other speaker makes, with the simple goal of maintaining clarity within the exchange. In serious discussions, your ability to detect distinctions, inconsistencies, contradictions, and frame arguments gives you an enormous advantage. In debates, you can sometimes be devastating, or alienate yourself from the group with overly logical arguments.

You often seem difficult to get to know. You are inclined to be shy except with close friends, and your reserve is difficult to penetrate. Able to concentrate better than any other type, you prefer to work quietly at your computer or drafting table, and often alone. You also become obsessed with analysis, and this can seem to shut others out. Once caught up in a thought process, you close off and persevere until you comprehend the issue in all its complexity. You prize intelligence, and with your grand desire to grasp the structure of the universe, you can seem arrogant and may show impatience with others who have less ability, or who are less driven.

Famous Architects include Albert Einstein, David Keirsey, Charles Darwin, and Thomas Jefferson.
