A personality type that has a very clear and defined idea of who they are and who they want to be despite external criticism and objection. (They do not rebel in order to gain attention but because they are who they are and like being that.) Named a Savants* due to their tendency of remaining relatively unchanged throughout their lives, and they change only by their own decision. Conforms externally, never internally. (That makes sense to the Savants* only.)

They tend to believe the order of true commitment can only happen after one has truly fallen in love with a person.

Flaws

Difficult to get along with, evasive. Doesn’t like confrontation and tends to hide their feelings from people who they don’t fully love or trust, their family members included. Can be completely indifferent to family ties apart from their own children, to whom they make devoted but non-authoritarian parents. Will not adapt to other people’s wishes any further than what they feel is reasonable to ask (also a positive, tho), but finds it easier to adapt to peoples true needs – they ignore wants, wishes, and requests, and only respond to authentic needs from those who they don’t truly love. Can be very friendly with others without meaning to make that friendship into a permanent relationship, and that can seem deceitful in the eyes of people who always seek to strengthen bonds with people they like. Makes for a poor employee and not always the best employer, either. They’re difficult to control and harness, they dislike routine and discipline, they tend to have issues with authority, this is also a virtue as this makes them free and able to change. As such, they also do not wish to become an authority or create too tight structures for others, making them a wishy-washy leader. They can also make a wishy-washy evasive partner, child, or a parent when challenged by a family member. Withdraws easily. Also, tends to shy away from a prospective partner, if they show any aggression (a flirtation style). Hates being corrected and shown to be wrong. Loses self-confidence in their opinions or skills easily when challenged. OFTEN confuses lack of knowledge for intelligence: “That doesn’t make any sense, I must be stupid.” (On a positive side, they have a need to be correct to the point where they actually do care how things actually are or work before they impose their ideas onto others.) Reaches an excellent work dynamic with other the Savants*, terrible in the Normal Person* environment. Although very knowledgeable and skilled, their need for independence and freedom of thought makes them bad at adapting to the needs of an employer.

Virtues

Will never attempt to force anyone into a relationship or a way of living that the other person may not wish to lead. Great nurturer of talent and genius, allows others to grow into the person who they are and is more understanding of other people’s needs than the Normal Person* are, despite the fact they might not give others what they need if they deem the request too much to ask of them. Takes care of oneself and one’s own life, is independent and fearless. Confident even at the worst of times; they have the courage to stay themselves even when others dislike them for it, no matter how acutely aware they are of being disliked and fully knowing why they are disliked and what they’re expected to do to fix it. They are not dependent on the approval of others, which makes them free of outsiders ruling. (Can learn to be even more real when decides to be.) Intellectual, creative, freely thinking, quirky. Entrepreneurial. Respectful of others opinions and doesn’t like to argue over small things, because they respect their own quirks enough to guard and nurture the quirks of others. Picks their battles, and when passionate about something, will fight until death to make the world a better place. An intellectual. Can adapt to the needs of their the Normal Person* thinking children or students easier than what the Normal Person* adapts to the Savants* needs, and are much more willing to do so than the Normal Person* are, but should only do this with people who are truly “at their mercy”. Is very accepting of difference, although they have clear ideas of the kind of friends they want to make, but they are never hostile towards people who think differently to them unless they try to force their opinions on them. Rarely start actual wars over simple opinions but prefer talking things through. All evolution and progress is thanks to the Savants*, as the Normal Person* don’t innovate anything more special than a new floor mop would be. The Savants* are very self-aware and aware of others.
