Rational Portrait of the Mastermind (INTJ)
All Rationals are good at planning operations, but Masterminds are head and shoulders above all the rest in contingency planning. Complex
operations involve many steps or stages, one following another in a necessary progression, and Masterminds are naturally able to grasp how
each one leads to the next, and to prepare alternatives for difficulties that are likely to arise any step of the way. Trying to anticipate every
contingency, Masterminds never set off on their current project without a Plan A firmly in mind, but they are always prepared to switch to
Plan B or C or D if need be.
Masterminds are rare, comprising no more than, say, one percent of the population, and they are rarely encountered outside their office,
factory, school, or laboratory. Although they are highly capable leaders, Masterminds are not at all eager to take command, preferring to stay
in the background until others demonstrate their inability to lead. Once they take charge, however, they are thoroughgoing pragmatists.
Masterminds are certain that efficiency is indispensable in a well-run organization, and if they encounter inefficiency-any waste of human and
material resources-they are quick to realign operations and reassign personnel. Masterminds do not feel bound by established rules and

Guardian™ Portrait of the Provider (ESFJ)
Providers take it upon themselves to insure the health and welfare of those in their care, but they are also the most sociable of all the
Guardians, and thus are the great nurturers of social institutions such as schools, churches, social clubs, and civic groups. Providers are very
likely more than ten percent of the population, and this is fortunate for the rest of us, because friendly social service is a key to their nature.
Wherever they go, Providers happily give their time and energy to make sure that the needs of others are met, and that social functions are a
success.
Highly cooperative themselves, Providers are skilled in maintaining teamwork among their helpers, and are also tireless in their attention to
the details of furnishing goods and services. They make excellent chairpersons in charge of dances, banquets, class reunions, charity fund-
raisers, and the like. They are without peer as masters of ceremonies, able to speak publicly with ease and confidence. And they are
outstanding hosts or hostesses, knowing everyone by name, and seemingly aware of what everyone's been doing. Providers love to entertain,
and are always concerned about the needs of their guests, wanting to make sure that all are involved and provided for.
Friendly, outgoing, neighborly - in a word, Providers are gregarious, so much so that they can become restless when isolated from people.
They love to talk with others, and will often strike up a conversation with strangers and chat pleasantly about any topic that comes to mind.
Friendships matter a great deal to Providers, and their conversations with friends often touch on good times from years past. Family traditions
