  • Key Features:

    • Cautious and calm attitude

    • Emphasis on process verification and risk management

    • Responsible and error-reducing tendency

    • Keywords: Prudence, Responsibility, Stability

I

Insight/Intuition

  • Key Brain Region: PCC (Posterior Cingulate Cortex) Dominance

  • Mechanism: The brain's internal simulation circuit (DMN) is more active than external stimuli. Immersed in thoughts within the head rather than the reality right in front of the eyes.

  • Key Features:

    • Exploration of abstract concepts and principles

    • Interpreting meanings behind the visible

    • Rich imagination and theoretical thinking

    • Keywords: Insight, Abstract, Theory

J

  • Key Features:

    • Fact and principle-centered decision making

    • Cold-headed analysis and critical thinking

    • Pursuit of fairness and efficiency

    • Keywords: Logic, Efficiency, Fairness

O

Order/Structure

Level 2: Adaptation Strategy

Execution Style

The Administrator

"Solidify the foundation, maintain the system."

Failure avoidance tendency (LHb) combines with a desire to maintain order (dACC). Rather than new adventures, they manage the current system to prevent collapse, adhere to set procedures, and maximize work stability.

Problem Solving Strategy

The Strategist

"Grasp the principles, design the system."

Penetrates the essence behind phenomena through abstract thinking (PCC) and builds logical structures (DLPFC). Beyond immediate problem solving, they present long-term master plans and structural reform proposals.

Leadership Style

The Analyst

"Data does not lie."

Manages risk from behind (LHb) rather than stepping to the front, and organizes the group according to objective rules (DLPFC). Shows fair and calm managerial leadership that is not swayed by emotions.

Risk & Challenge

The Defender

"Must survive first."

More sensitive to punishment than reward (LHb), with active threat detection (Amygdala). Never takes adventures where there is something to lose, and excels at preparing safety devices for worst-case scenarios.

Innovation & Creativity

The Planner

"Turning dreams into realistic plans."

Generates ideas (PCC) but organizes them into a systematic structure (dACC). Excels in planning tasks that convert abstract visions into concrete roadmaps and manuals.

Communication Style

The Thinker

"Writing over speech, contemplation over conversation."

Inner world (PCC) is deep but expression is restrained (LHb). Seemingly quiet on the outside, but a mysterious type constantly simulating complex concepts in their head.

Conflict Management Strategy

The Defender of Logic

"Defending myself with regulations and logic."

Values logic (DLPFC) but sensitive to threat (Amygdala). If feeling attacked, refutes the opponent and protects self using law, rules, and logical justification rather than emotional appeal.

Sociability & Group Role

The Lone Wolf

"No thanks to unnecessary emotional drain."

Enjoys time alone (LHb) and weighs efficiency (DLPFC) even in human relationships. Keeps manners but dislikes interference crossing the line, maintaining clean and independent relationships.

Romantic & Affection Style

The Responsible Partner

"Love is a promise to keep."

Values trust and duty (DLPFC) over emotion and prefers predictable relationships (dACC). Suitable as a stable marriage partner who takes responsibility for and supports each other's lives rather than burning passion.

Stress Response & Mental Defense Mechanisms

The Perfectionist

"Cannot sleep because I can't tolerate even small mistakes."

Sensitive to threat (Amygdala) and also has strong desire for order (dACC). Extremely dislikes unpredictable situations and feels relieved only when everything is controlled as planned. Tries to relieve stress through obsessive checking behaviors.

Motivation & Resilience

The Survivor

"Look before you leap, and then don't leap."

Sensitivity to failure (LHb) combined with threat detection (Amygdala). Believing one failure can be a fatal blow, they defend their life by choosing only safe paths where risk is completely eliminated.

Self-Discipline & Habits

The Consistent

"Without tricks, getting it done silently."

Tries to reduce mistakes (LHb) rather than aiming for a jackpot, and prefers regularity (dACC). Even without spectacular results, the most trustworthy type who doesn't procrastinate on what needs to be done and does it consistently every day.

Emotional Regulation & Inner Attitude

The Repressor

"The more anxious, the coldly I analyze."

Feels internal anxiety (Amygdala) but suppresses it with logic (DLPFC), not emotion. Persuades self saying "This is irrational fear" and tries to analyze rather than feel emotions.

Learning Style & Methodology

The Academic

"Constructing a massive system of knowledge."

Weaves abstract concepts (PCC) into logical structures (dACC). Hates simple rote memorization and isn't satisfied until understanding 'Why', grasping principles, and completing their own concept map.

Information Processing & Intellectual Focus

The System Architect

"Researching the laws by which the world operates."

Tries to clarify invisible principles (PCC) with logic (DLPFC). Enjoys the intellectual play of understanding and optimizing complex mechanisms such as science, engineering, philosophy, and system structures.

Intellectual Drive

The Specialist

"Dig perfectly so there is nothing unknown."

Anxious about not understanding concepts (PCC) (LHb), and digs deep to avoid ignorance. Tries to master one field to possess irrefutable expertise rather than shallow and wide knowledge.

Cognitive Efficiency

The Efficiency Expert

"Minimum time, maximum effect."

Blocks out distractions (dACC) and sets priorities coldly (DLPFC). Thorough in time management (Time-blocking), and a high-efficiency learner who boldly skips unnecessary information and quickly acquires only the core.

Level 3: Narrative Identity

1. Your Life Title (The Archetype)

"The Solitary Architect Guarding the Flawless Castle"

You are not a general on the battlefield. You are a Scholar and Sentinel, a man who, far from the noise and chaos of the world, looks down on the world from the highest and safest tower, seeking the truth. Your life is a story of protecting your own Sanctuary by blocking external threats (C) with perfect logic (I, J) and control (O).

2. Narrative Script

Your life plot is "A seeker's journey to escape the imperfect and dangerous world (C) into the ivory tower of knowledge (I), and secure absolute inner safety (P) by building a perfect system (O) that excludes emotions (J)".

Chapter 1. The Origin: "The Little Adult"

Neurological Background: LHb (Caution) + DLPFC (Logic) + Amygdala (Vigilance)

As a child, you were probably called "a childish old man."

You felt more comfortable strictly adhering to the rules set by your teacher (O) than engaging in risky play for rewards (candy, praise) (P).

You didn't understand the noisy play or emotional fights (E) of your peers, and you spent time quietly reading books or building perfectly (I, J) with Lego blocks. The world was a frightening, unpredictable place for you, but books, with their rules and logic, were the safest refuge.

Chapter 2. The Challenge: "Paralysis by Analysis"

Neurological Background: The Collaboration of LHb (Loss of Motivation) + dACC (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder) + Amygdala (Anxiety)

Your biggest dilemma as an adult is 'perfectionism without action.'

You create perfect plans (I, O) in your head. However, when you try to put them into action, anxiety (C)—thinking, "What if I fail?" or "What if something goes wrong?"—holds you back. Because you have a low desire for achievement (R), you constantly revise your plans, saying, "I'm not ready yet," rather than taking risks.

Furthermore, your high logical standards (J) prevent you from tolerating others' mistakes or inefficiencies. Consequently, you choose isolation over collaboration, and your connection to the world grows ever more distant.

Chapter 3. The Resolution: "The Invisible Hand"

Neurological Background: The Completion of the PCC (Insight) and DLPFC (System)

Your story reaches a happy ending when your "intelligent design" prevents the world from falling into error.

You don't take the lead. But the manuals, systems, and theories you've designed behind the scenes prevent the organization from collapsing and save people from danger at a crucial moment.

You quietly smile, saying, "Just as I expected," confirming that your meticulous analysis (J) and countermeasures (C) were correct. You are not a flashy hero, but you prove your worth as a "silent guardian" who keeps the world on track.

3. Key Themes

These are the two core themes that permeate your life story.

① Defensive Intellect:

For you, knowledge (I) and logic (J) are not offensive weapons, but shields. The reason you study and analyze is not to defeat others, but to prevent disaster (C) caused by ignorance or mistakes. "Knowledge is safety" is your motto.

② Craving for Order:

You detest disorder (Entropy). From a single pen on your desk to your life plan, everything must have its own place (O) to breathe. Your life is a noble effort to impose your own order on a chaotic universe.


4. Level 3 Advice for You (Conclusion)

"Sometimes a poor execution is better than a perfect plan."

PIJOC types have the most elaborate maps in the world. However, they may never actually embark on a journey while drawing the map.

What your sturdy walls need is a door. Your brain perceives failure as fatal (LHb), but in reality, small failures are just data that will solidify your logic.

It's okay if you're not 100% ready. Just step outside the world you've designed. Your wisdom shines brighter when applied in real-world situations.
