Functions: extroverted spirituality, extroverted induction, introverted nihilism and introverted deduction

​

       The guardian leads with extroverted spirituality and uses it to determine what is good and pure in the world around them. This is combined with extroverted induction to form quick, on the spot judgements as to what is and isn’t in keeping with such goodness. Introverted nihilism lets them attribute the labels of good and bad to the physical desires of other people. This is then combined with introverted deduction to satisfy their own desires in a way that is consistent with their morals and ethics.

​

Shadow Type: Provocateur

​

       The guardian type may become machiavellian when they lose sight of the good in the world. They seek a sense of power that leads to obsessions and dark curiosities. This sense of power can cause the guardian to feel entitled. At it’s worst, they become like the provocateur and challenge anything that prevents them from getting their unconscious desires met.

​

Conscience Type: Warrior

​

      The warrior draws attention to the desires of the guardian. It lets them know that they deserve a reward for their efforts even if they are not as good as that which they protect. This provides them with a sense of mercy and self-forgiveness which may then be redirected towards others in the form of empathy.

​

Aspirational Type: Seeker

​

      The seeker encourages the guardian to move outside their comfort zone and try new things once in a while. This can help a particularly suspicious or uptight guardian relax and take a merciful view of the world around them. A guardian who listens to the seeker may consequently find more people and things worth guarding.
