The Gambler
Functions: extroverted induction, extroverted nihilism, introverted deduction and introverted spirituality
​
The gambler leads with extroverted induction. This helps them quickly spot patterns and form predictions based on what they notice in the world around them. This is then explained by extroverted nihilism in a concrete, materialist way in accordance with previous studies. Introverted deduction gives the gambler enough knowledge of themselves to manage their reaction and gain what they desire based on these patterns and explanations. They may later use introverted spirituality to attribute their success or failure to a negative or positive inner, spiritual state.
​
Shadow Type: Healer
​
The gambler may become increasingly paranoid when what they believe to be true about the world around them is contradicted. They may become numb to the suffering of others and obsess over vindictive plots. This is justified as a desire to restore good to the world by purging what is wrong which is largely caused by an unconscious healer archetype.
​
Conscience Type: Sage
​
The sage reminds the gambler that there is more to life than just winning. Knowing themselves and how they really feel will help them succeed in the long run. It gives them the ability to compete against themselves as well as others. This lets them know that, although they may not be good at some things, it’s ok. It lets them know that doing what they truly want to do will make them successful at life as a whole.
​
Aspirational Type: Hedonist
​
The gambler may learn to stop and smell the roses by taking the advice of the hedonist. It prevents burnout, teaching them that there is pleasure to be found in achievements and that resting is necessary to grow. This gives the gambler time to enjoy what they earn. It gives them a taste of pleasure that provides motivation for any subsequent conquests.
