Thats how the Actor thinks. And he is very surprised when his expectations are not fulfilled. He feels upset for a short time, but then finds a logical explanation: the swamps were not swampy enough, and the mountain should have been a little higher. Okay, next time he will choose a better route. Then everyone will be delighted for sure!
Money is not a top priority for the Actor. Most of all, he craves recognition and praise for what he does at work. He constantly struggles for quick development within the company, putting forward new ideas and fighting those who are lazy, incompetent or silly.
If his behavior suits his superiors, the Actor receives his portion of glory most often, a very small one.
A bosss condescending smile and an approving pat on the shoulder are enough for him. With that, he can move mountains!
But if the Actors activity inadvertently hampers the life of a key figure in an organization (usually the Scriptwriter or the Director), he gets into trouble. The superiors start finding faults with him and penalize him for trivial things, like arriving late for work by two minutes. Not understanding the root of the problem, the Actor tries to work even harder and prove his point in arguments with co-workers and supervisors, expressing a lot of emotions and straining his nerves. He does not notice that his initiatives only make the situation worse.
In the end, the Actor gets tired of the struggle. He leaves the job and enjoys the freedom. Why did I suffer so long? he thinks. Why didnt I quit this filthy office earlier? There are many others in the world where my talents will certainly be appreciated!
The Actor can harbor such illusions for years until he realizes that the problem is within him. To others, he seems to be a boaster, a clown, an adventurer, a shallow person not adapted for life. His energy and enthusiasm are used by more balanced types as long as they benefit from him.
When the Actor realizes this fact, he has a chance to correct his behavior to finally find his permanent place in the sun.
How does the Actor develop relations with women? What can you expect from him?
His nature is exposed in this aspect of life, too. Unlike the Director, you will never get bored with him. He is able to accept your weirdest plan and begin to implement it immediately. For example, he will agree to travel three hundred miles right now to a pop star concert if this is your favorite pop star. He might not even like pop music, but he loves adventures! With the Director, the answer would be negative. He would say that he had completely different plans for the evening (like going to the gym or surfing the Internet at home) and you should have articulated your desire the day before yesterday, or even better last week so that he could estimate its worth and feasibility.
The Actor is good company. Unlike the Scriptwriter, he does not have encyclopedic knowledge, but all his stories are vivid, full of emotions and therefore memorable.
But he is not able to give out energy endlessly. Although his activity can last several hours in a row, fatigue and apathy inevitably come. The fireworks end. The Actor needs to lie down and sleep to regain vigor. He cannot live and work evenly like the Director or Scriptwriter. His nervous system is different.
At such a time, it is better to leave him alone. If you start telling him about your problems and he starts snoring, you need to check yourself to ensure you are not offended. His seeming disinterest is not his attitude towards you, but his physiology. Repeat your story again when he wakes up. You will get the emotional response you were counting on.
The Actors mood can change rapidly. He easily switches from thoughtfulness to activity, from nervousness to relaxation. He gets annoyed quickly, but just as quickly calms down. The most ordinary joke can cause him to burst out laughing (the Scriptwriter and Director would only smile in response, the first one more likely out of politeness).
The Actor strives to be a man of his word, but this does not always work. He truly believes in his promises the moment he gives them, but halfway, can be distracted. His attention switches to a new amazing object or event, and the promise completely slips from his mind.
For example, the Actor arrives home in the evening without having bought the shampoo and mosquito repellent you asked for that morning. This is not because he does not love you. He was distracted, thats all!
But when he is ready, he will immediately turn around and rush in search of the thing you need. When he returns with the shampoo or repellent, he will expect praise from you. And hell be terribly offended if you dont give it to him!
In general, praise is the main thing that he wants from you (apart from sex, of course). You can cook him a delicious dinner, wash his clothes, and wipe dust off of his computer, save him from mosquitoes Everything will be wasted if you are not enthusiastic about his heroic deed after all, he traveled to nine stores in no time and found your shampoo in the tenth one!
The Actor is not punctual. If he says, Come outside, Ill drive up in a minute, do not rush. For him, a minute is a loose concept. His minute can last six seconds or a quarter of an hour. It is useless to make a fuss over this. He sincerely promises to never be late again, but quickly breaks his promise unintentionally. No doubt his reason will be compelling: The bridge collapsed. Or, My boss called me up to his office.
The Actor is able to arrive on time for example, at work if a registration terminal is installed at the entrance. But it is not easy for him. He puts on clothes in a hurry, drives a car violating traffic laws and gets into his office a second before being late. Needless to say, this can lead to his nervous exhaustion over time!
Since the Actor is always in a hurry, he has no time to put things in their place. Every morning he rushes about the house, opening all of the cabinets in search of his shirts and socks. The search is simplified by the fact that things fall out of there themselves, because the shelves are stuffed with random items! His money, keys, and drivers license can also be anywhere on the fridge, on a bathroom shelf, in the folds of the sofa.
Putting things in order demands great volitional effort on his part. His desire to tidy up the house can be caused by an emotional impulse with a vow he made to stop this mess once and for all, or by the news that some guests are coming around. However, the Actor is able to clean his entire home in five minutes to avoid shame and receive praise!!
To sum up, the Actor is unbalanced, boastful and disorderly, but at the same time energetic, optimistic and witty.
He would not succeed in remaking himself from the Actor into the Director or Scriptwriter even if he wanted to, as the role type is inherent nature from birth, but he can still correct and direct his behavior. Someone should explain to him why and how it should be done if he does not know himself.
Spectator
The Spectators temperament type is melancholic.
It is the desire of the Spectators heart that good always conquer evil, and that the participants of the play that is life be fulfilled and happy.
Note that the Spectator wishes not only main characters of life receive their due, but that all of the actors, including secondary ones, get what they desire. As for negative characters, the Spectator does not feel hatred for them. He is eager to consider the motives of their actions, to feel sorry for them and forgive them, because they are not to blame for being mistaken.

He is eager to consider the motives of their actions, to feel sorry for them and forgive them, because they are not to blame for being mistaken.
To the Spectator, to conquer evil does not mean to destroy, but to re-educate. He is against violence in principle!
However, re-educating the Spectator himself (as well as any other adults) is not so simple. He has his own unshakable principles. The main one can be formulated as follows: All people are good. Therefore, according to his beliefs, help should be given to everyone that is in a difficult situation. It can be a close or distant relative, a friend, a random passerby, and even an enemy.
If the Spectator cannot help someone, for lack of power, resources or understanding of the situation, he feels the need to at least to show compassion, to cheer up, to comfort the poor person essentially, to express his unconditional support.
The Spectator wants peoples faces to radiate joy and kindness. Therefore, he evaluates the success or failure of any business not so much by the final result as by the psychological state of its participants. Are they satisfied with what and how they did? Did they manage to get along with each other? Has their mood improved or worsened?
If someone was offended by the interaction, the Spectator considers his mission a failure.
For the Spectator, as well as for the Actor, emotions are more important than the matter. But, unlike the Actor, the Spectator does not seek to flaunt his personality and receive praise. He watches others and does everything in his power to make them happy. Achieving this goal, he feels fulfilled. That is all he needs!
The role played by the Spectator in life and the role of a spectator in a real theater are very similar. A good theater visitor is not only an observer, but also an active participant of the action. He or she supports actors with applause, laughs in response to jokes and cries during the most dramatic portions of the play. Sometimes (if asked), they may go on stage themselves and say a few words, or even define the plot development in a modern interactive performance!
The same applies to the Spectators role type, and his main objective is always the same: universal happiness.
How does the Spectator behave in real life? First of all, he tries not to cause inconvenience to anyone.
He drives a car carefully, following road signs and the speed limit. In public transport, he gives way to elders and children. In stores, he never goes to the cashiers desk out of turn. He is used to saying please and thank you, and smiling at everyone.
The Spectator is a vulnerable person. If insulted (at a store, for example), he suffers deeply, although outwardly remains calm. The rude person is unlikely to even notice his suffering.
The Spectator never interrupts a person with whom he is having a conversation. If you tell him about your difficulties, he nods, asks relevant questions, expresses interest and sympathy. Going deeper into other peoples problems is his favorite pastime.
Have you been deceived, humiliated, robbed, or beaten? The Spectator will empathize with you! He will try to appease or calm you down most likely, unsuccessfully, because he himself is upset no less than you (and sometimes even more).
The Spectator admits that good people can make mistakes, be subject to temptations, and lose self-control. That is, they become evil for a few minutes, days or even years. In this case, they should only be pitied as they will suffer themselves from remorse when they come to their normal state of being good. The Spectator believes in this concept with all his heart, and it is impossible to make him change his mind. In his opinion, while people are evil, one should stay away from them. He does not want to fight with them as it is too hard for him psychologically.
According to the Spectator, a person should strive to be better a good soul.
He wants to achieve peace without war.
Such an attitude is very useful for building relationships between a man and a woman.
The Spectator does not seek to subordinate you to his needs or to use brute force for any reasons. On the contrary, he tries to understand how you feel and what he should do to please you.
He is not good at analytics and lacks firmness. But do not call him a fool or a wimp. Insulting him will not make him more quick-witted or tougher, but will poison your relationship.
The Spectator is a pessimist by nature. Any obstacle may seem unconquerable to him. This also applies to love relationships. He can interpret your refusal to see him in the evening due to being busy as reluctance to see him at all. He wont sleep all night thinking what is better to offer a rendezvous again or shoot himself.
Facing unexpected harshness or rudeness, he is lost and upset, and cannot come to his senses for a long time after that. He may refuse further meetings at all without trying to sort out the relationship.
Dont push him too hard! Even if he is of a gigantic height and has a low hoarse voice, remember: his soul is vulnerable. He can easily lift a heavy barbell above his head, but a mild rebuke can crush him morally.
The Spectator is a perfect family man. His wife and children are the most important people to him along with his parents, and caring for them is the meaning of his existence. He can spend most of his income on his family, leaving the bare minimum to himself.
He does not like to accept gifts, but loves to make them. If you like his gift, he is happy; if not, he feels guilty: I should have selected something better.
In which areas of activity can the Spectator succeed, and in which can he not?
He should not be a hotel receptionist, a sales or personnel manager, an interpreter, a journalist, or an event manager. Professions where one needs to communicate with a lot of strangers are definitely not right for him.
His advantages are sensitivity, power of observation, and attention to detail.
If the Spectator realizes this, he is able to achieve a lot for example, to become famous as a writer, artist or designer, because he deeply feels the worlds beauty and the importance of personal relationships. He can also make an excellent programmer, accountant, architect, translator, mechanic, geologist. That is, a specialist whose work is associated with processing of materials, texts or virtual data.
In his free time, he walks with his children, cooks, cleans the house, and travels with his family to the countryside. He does everything possible to please his loved ones, and is deeply worried if his wife or child is unhappy about something.
If his spouse earns quite a lot or there are sources of passive income (leased real estate, stock dividends), the Spectator can fully devote himself to the family. There are more important things to him than a career. He could even leave a high position without regret in order to communicate more with his children! He will help them with history, mathematics, foreign languages, sports, and eventually prepare them for university exams.
But if there is no one in the family to take care of (the children have grown up, his wife is immersed in work), he can find something to do elsewhere. For example, he can help a divorced female neighbor with apartment renovation, a colleague with writing a masters thesis, or a former classmate in her fight against depression. He might also be asked for help in the sexual sphere, and its hard to say if he will be able to say no. He needs smiles and thanks, not tears and curses! So he might give help to everyone around until he runs into problems, and one day ask himself with sincere surprise, Why do both my wife and lover hate me?
