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 Practitioner

"Running with people on the field."

Chooses a solution method that fills others' needs (vmPFC) within concrete reality (Insula). Rather than desk administration, they meet people on site and coordinate problems by facing them physically.

Leadership Style

The Guardian

"I will help so no one is left behind."

Prioritizes organizational stability (LHb) over unreasonable expansion and values harmony among members (vmPFC). Acts as a gentle mediator who arbitrates conflicts and strengthens team cohesion.

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 Operator

"By the book, without gaps."

Executes set rules (dACC) based on certain facts (Insula). Creativity may be lacking, but shows the highest efficiency and accuracy in repetitive tasks or work requiring precision.

Communication Style

The Listener

"I am listening without missing a word."

Reality sense (Insula) is keen, but careful about self-disclosure (LHb). A prudent conversation partner who listens meticulously to the other person's facts and organizes them rather than speaking.

Conflict Management Strategy

The Peacekeeper

"I hate fighting, I will adjust."

Values relationships (vmPFC) and has great fear of conflict (Amygdala). Anxious that the relationship might break, so they try to reconcile quickly and restore harmony even if bending their own assertions.

Sociability & Group Role

The Best Friend

"Deep relationships over wide relationships."

Rather than mingling with many people (LHb), shares deep emotional exchange (vmPFC) with a few. A trustworthy friend who silently stays on your side and keeps secrets.

Romantic & Affection Style

The Devoted Lover

"Unchanging love and meticulous consideration."

Prioritizes partner's emotions (vmPFC) and strives for order and stability in the relationship (dACC). Meticulously takes care of anniversaries and builds trust with a consistent attitude.

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 Sensitive Soul

"The world's sadness hurts like my own."

Excellent empathy (vmPFC) but also sensitive to negative emotions (Amygdala). Deeply hurt by a single word from others, and emotional ups and downs can be severe. A type needing artistic sublimation.

Learning Style & Methodology

The Standard Learner

"Start only with textbooks and manuals."

Organizes concrete facts (Insula) in systematic order (dACC). Prefers original texts over summaries, and textbooks with clear tables of contents and examples over vague explanations. Strong in repetitive learning and memorization.

Information Processing & Intellectual Focus

The Observer

"Reading people's expressions and trends."

Five senses (Insula) are directed towards others and emotions (vmPFC). Sensitive and knowledgeable about life-closely-related information and trends such as famous restaurants, fashion, interiors, and subtle emotional changes in people.

Intellectual Drive

The Technician

"Need certain skills to protect me."

Learns for survival and stability (LHb) in reality (Insula). Focuses on honing certain skills or practical abilities that ensure making a living rather than abstract academics.

Cognitive Efficiency

The Dutiful Student

"Sitting at the desk for promise and responsibility."

Control that doesn't procrastinate (dACC) combined with importance of others/values (vmPFC). Faithfully performs assignments to keep promises with teachers, parents, or study groups.

Level 3: Narrative Identity

1. Your Life Title (The Archetype)

"The Devoted Steward Guarding Daily Peace"

You aren't interested in being a hero or changing the world. Your identity is that of a Keeper, nurturing your precious nest, and a Supporter, silently meeting the needs of others. Your life is a record of a quiet but profound love, protecting your small world from external threats (C) and entropy, and maintaining simple and certain happiness (S, E) within it.

2. Narrative Script

Your life plot is "The story of a devoted guardian who, armed with a concrete sense of reality (S) and sincerity (O), silently sustains daily life (P) in a dangerous and unpredictable world (C), and provides the most comfortable haven (E) for loved ones."

Chapter 1. The Origin: "A Kind Child with Amazing Hands"

Neurological Background: LHb (Caution) + Insula (Sense of Reality) + vmPFC (Empathy)

As a child, you were likely "the child most trusted by adults."

Rather than engaging in dangerous pranks (R) or wild fantasies (I), you felt fulfilled by practical tasks (S, E) like helping your parents with household chores or caring for your younger siblings.

You meticulously packed your supplies (O) without being asked and were careful not to cause trouble to others (P). You may have heard compliments like, "You're so deep," but deep down, you likely grew up feeling a precocious sense of responsibility and tension (C) that "I have to do well to maintain peace."

Chapter 2. Conflict and Challenge (The Challenge): "The Invisible Weight of Labor"

Neurological Background: Amygdala (Anxiety) + dACC (Obsessive-Compulsive) + Insula (Sensory Acuity)

Your biggest challenge as an adult is 'unobtrusive sacrifice'.

You have excellent sense of reality (S) and threat detection (C), so you proactively detect and resolve minor problems that others may not notice (a dirty room, a lack of necessities, someone else's mood swings).

However, because of your tendency to remain humble, people assume that peace will be maintained naturally. You are exhausted by your "unrecognized devotion", and when even the slightest detail goes awry (O), you feel chronic fatigue and resentment due to unbearable sensitivity. This is the crisis of your narrative.

Chapter 3. The Resolution: "An Irreplaceable Sanctuary"

Neurological Background: The Stable Foundation of vmPFC (Value) and dACC (Order)

Your story shines when your presence proves to be as essential as air.

When you leave, the house quickly becomes chaotic, the organization creaks, and people feel emotionally unstable. Only then do they realize they were living on the solid foundation of reality (S, O) you silently laid.

You may not have a flashy trophy, but a single word, "I'm so glad you're here," brings a deep sense of relief (E), and you affirm your life as a "hearth" that warms the world's lowest places.


3. Key Themes

These are two core themes that run through your life story.

① Concrete Care:

For you, love is not an abstract concept (I). It's a tangible and tangible reality (S), like a clean blanket, a warm bowl of soup, or a utility bill paid on time. Your life is a continuous process of translating love into material things and actions.

② Preventive Control:

You're not a hero who solves problems after they arise, but a manager who prevents them from occurring (C). Your meticulousness (O) and nagging aren't meant to oppress others, but rather are your own defense mechanisms to protect your loved ones from misfortune.


4. Level 3 Advice for You (Conclusion)

"Even if it's not perfect, your love has already been conveyed."**

PSEOC types are like the salt of the earth. But often, because you're so fixated on the little details, you miss the whole wonderful garden you've created.

The chapter your narrative needs is Letting Go.

People have the power to survive even if you don't take care of everything (P). Sometimes, let the dishes pile up, break the plan, and indulge yourself with a little luxury (S). Only when you're happy can the world you protect truly be perfect.
