I approach the world and its problems from a logical perspective and don’t stop until I understand a topic in depth. I seek the truth, I don’t stop at norms and silos, especially if they go against common sense and the general interest. I don’t hesitate to question them. I need to have an extensive understanding of subjects and I’m annoyed when a piece of the puzzle is missing. I’m interested in a wide range of subjects and my curiosity knows no bounds since I love to learn. I get bored quickly when my mind is not stimulated. I ask myself lots of questions and I can often be plagued by doubt. I sometimes don’t understand certain human behaviours which I find illogical or destructive.

When I’m unbalanced, this intensity can cause me to have a strong mental charge or even alienating thoughts which prevent me from sleeping or feeling calm.

My empathy makes me feel the emotions of others with great intensity and I am sometimes paralysed by my own emotions and those of others. I can choose to keep them quiet but my inner turmoil is still there. I can also express them, but this is often awkward as my feelings are so intense that the words may be inappropriate and can shock the audience. When I have to choose between the emotions of others and my own wellbeing, I usually favour others.

When I’m unbalanced, I can care too much about others and forget to think about myself, which can lead to tiredness and disappointment. I can also struggle to make decisions because I am too caught up in conflicting emotional feelings (what I think I should do for others and what I want to do for myself.)

I love to solve complex problems and find solutions. Blank pages don’t scare me and I like to be in this space where anything is possible and I can imagine endless scenarios, even ones which are unlikely. My intuition is very sharp and sometimes ideas come to me with sudden obviousness without me being able to trace where they emerged from.

When I’m unbalanced, I can have difficulty explaining my ideas or insights, while remaining convinced of their validity. This can be misunderstood and give the impression that I’m disengaged. I can also find it difficult to anchor myself in my material reality and create a gap between the ideals I have dreamed about and my own life.

My five senses are heightened, some usually more than others.

My hearing can be very acute, I find pleasure in listening to harmonious sounds. I find it difficult to cope in noisy environments. I feel as if I have speakers in my ears, which can quickly become unbearable. This can sometimes constitute a social handicap and make it impossible to cope in public areas.

My sense of touch is highly developed, I’m sensitive to fabrics and I can’t wear certain clothes which are too uncomfortable for me. I can feel a gentle caress with a lot of intensity.

My eyesight can be sharp and I can recognise a face which I’ve only seen once in my life without necessarily remembering the person. My memory is often visual.

My taste is developed and I can notice small differences in flavour; it’s impossible for me to eat certain foods where the taste is unbearable.

My sense of smell is highly developed and I can recognise all types of smells while others don’t notice them at all. I am easily unsettled by bad odours which can make me gag or physically have to leave wherever I am.

I need to be on the move. I like intense, active activities. Physical activities make me feel good and allow me to burn off my excess energy. It should be noted that this intensity is often recognised in children who are called “hyperactive”. When I’m unbalanced, I find it difficult to settle down and I push my body to its limits.
