Manner of communication¶
The surest sign of LIE’s manner of communication that makes it easy to notice this sociotype - is the manifestation of sly humor, love of making jokes, often with sexual undertones (usually for LIE males). The slyness of LIE’s jokes is due to the fact that they have a certain ambiguity, double entendre nature to them, and can be interpreted in various ways. Another side of LIE’s humor is irony.

Features of behavior¶
Among the peculiarities of LIE’s behavior notable is his ability to “light up” with some project or undertaking. When the LIE wants to get engaged in something, he forgets about everything else. Starts with small things and switches to something larger - his interest circle is constantly expanding. Due to his restlessness and curiosity he often experiments. Gets involved in issues that were taken up by others, but not resolved. His logic works well when he is in the process of searching. By his behavior he may exert pressure on other people, be obtrusive, demand things from them. At times, he is quarrelsome, demonstrating a willingness to fight when words are not enough for him to prove his correctness. Distinguished by “cowboy” methods. His actions at times run ahead of his analysis of the situation (especially true of logical subtype of LIE). In a dangerous to his life situation, he mobilizes all the forces of his body. Very life-loving and enduring. Men of this type are often interested in trekking, hiking, climbing, running long distances. Inclined to have some fun, get involved in various adventures.

Appearance¶
Figuring out whether a person belongs to this sociotype can be done by LIE’s distinctive gait. While walking the LIE slightly “bounces” - rolls from heel to toe, so that the foot of the leg that is behind ends up being at a large angle to the ground. However, this feature applies only to LIEs with enhanced logical component. The intuitive subtype of LIE has no such distinction. The intuitive subtype of LIE often has a more well-set full figure than the logical subtype, whose figure is more of a rectangular shape, the “logical shape”. LIE’s gaze is nimble and agile, his eyes dart around and rotate back and forth, not stopping on anything for a long time. He doesn’t like looking into the eyes of another person. Intuitive detachment occasionally appears in his look: at times he stares to the side or at the ceiling, intuitively distancing from current events. LIE’s lips are full and prominent, especially in an the intuitive subtype. He shows the always ready to appear, “American-style” wide open smile - the smile of “one of the guys” who is open to everyone. LIE’s external appearance is often somewhat disheveled and disharmonious, blatantly unkempt for male representatives. It looks like this person has just returned from a trip or a campaign. This manifests stronger for the logical subtype. In his dressing style, especially of male representatives, sometimes there are combinations of items that are incompatible in common sense, such as sweat pants and a jacket from the suit. There is also a tendency to wear same clothing for long periods of time.

Does not respect or accept authority of people who lead their lives according to the pleasure principle and strive to achieve the desired results without stress.

Tries to derive benefit and profit where others do not see them. Is adept at calculating and seeing free zones in the market that are open to enterprise.

Despite the fact that most of his investments fall through and don’t earn any returns, he is sure that some of their share would be aimed at the growth industry in the future and will repay the invested capital.

Working conditions¶
The incentive for this sociotype is the striving for uniqueness. His work should provide opportunities to be creative, to experiment and innovate. LIEs also love to learn everything that sooner or later may prove to be helpful to his project. Therefore, if you often send him to seminars, workshops, conferences, training courses and retraining, he will be satisfied and interested in his work. In working with representatives of this type, one should take into account their lack of love for the careful, routine work. Try to exclude it from the scope of his duties, as well as any work related to the painstaking filling out of the documents. In listening to risky proposals of LIE, one should exercise some caution and clarify whether there are sufficient resources in place for such activities and who will finance them. It is a good idea to also ask what kind of people are supporting him (often his entire “team” is he himself). If he urges you to act immediately, otherwise it will be too late - pay attention to this, because LIE has good sense for timeliness of action. However, act basing on the principle “measure seven times, cut once” as often the business activity of LIE is so large that can grow into pointless fussiness. People of this type tend to do a little bit more than what was expected of them, involving all those around him into a feverish hustle. If he gets excited, showing impatience and intolerance of those who work slower, this should be taken calmly and smoothly, in friendly manner showing understanding and support for his difficulties. And if you are also going to assist his endeavors, at the same time keeping him away from overly risky expenditures and actions, your productive interaction is guaranteed.
Recommendations for self-improvement¶
Your forte is active entrepreneurship. You start on a new venture or project with much enthusiasm, not sparing your efforts in achieving results.
You are a person of practical and pragmatic bent who knows how to direct and orient any theory or idea to practical use. You take an active part in the implementation of new technologies into life. You do not waste your time on minor things. You are particularly attracted to large scale goals and projects.
You can be called a person action, since you do not put off the implementation of your decisions for too long. You quickly and without delays assimilate into a new job or project and try to bring it to fruition. You are an optimist who believes in the success of any venture that you have started. You willingly share your plans with others, enjoy to try yourself in various spheres of activity, freely take risks, and readily overcome any difficulties.
You are often faced by problems of organizing your everyday life. Often you don’t have enough time for vacations and leisure time. Despite your commitment to a healthy lifestyle, you do not take care of your health in a regular manner. Try to combine business with pleasure and not concentrate excessively on a single task.
Observe a rational rhythm of life, combining business with pleasure. Engage in running or other active types of sport. Be more attentive to your appearance. Do not ignore opinions that others voice about you. Pay more attention to your domestic affairs. More often show care for your family, devote more of your personal time to them, make pleasant surprises for them, and try to delve into their problems.
Try to cultivate an aesthetic taste in yourself. Do not sacrifice your appearance even in the name of your projects and goals, which to you seem more important. Do not engage in extravagant antics. Try to be more sensitive when it comes to intimate topics - don’t try to draw attention to yourself in this manner: others can misunderstand you. Unwittingly you can break the relaxed atmosphere of communication, placing yourself and your friends into an awkward position.
Your other problem lies in ambiguous humor and jokes that can not always be correctly interpreted and understood. Be tactful and modest in your statements. Do not seek to lift the mood of the people at any cost. Remember that not everyone likes the joking tone, and more so - irony and ridicule. Avoid excessive emotional familiarity in communication. Develop in yourself politeness and good manners. This will boost your self-esteem and instill greater level of respect that others have for you.
Don’t seek confrontation over issues that are non-existent, unneeded and irrelevant. Through this you can lose respect of many people. Don’t show your emotions too quickly. Don’t let your actions run ahead of your thoughts. It is better to move away from the object of your irritation, and after some time, when you have clamed down and thought things thoroughly, express your decisions and opinions at the next meeting.
