Ally lives in the world of ideas and strategic planning. He values intelligence, knowledge, and competence, and typically has high standards in these regards, which he continuously strives to fulfill. To a somewhat lesser extent, he has similar expectations of others.
With Introverted Intuition dominating his personality, Thomo focuses his energy on observing the world, and generating ideas and possibilities. His mind constantly gathers information and makes associations about it. He is tremendously insightful and usually is very quick to understand new ideas. However, his primary interest is not understanding a concept, but rather applying that concept in a useful way. His need for closure and organisation usually requires that he takes some action.
It is not easy for the Ally to express his internal images, insights, and abstractions. The internal form of Thomo's thoughts and concepts is highly individualised, and is not readily translatable into a form that others will understand. However, Ally can translate his ideas into a plan or system that is usually readily explainable, rather than to do a direct translation of his thoughts. He doesn't see the value of a direct transaction, and will also have difficulty expressing his ideas, which are non-linear. However, his extreme respect of knowledge and intelligence will motivate him to explain himself but only to another person who he feels is deserving of the effort.
Ally is a natural leader, although he will usually choose to remain in the background until he sees a real need to take over the lead. When in leadership roles, he is quite effective, because he is able to objectively see the reality of a situation, and is adaptable enough to change things which aren't working well. The supreme strategists - always scanning available ideas and concepts and weighing them against the current strategy, to plan for every conceivable contingency.
Ally spends a lot of time inside his own mind, and has little interest in the other people's thoughts or feelings. Anyone who is emotionally needy will have problems getting the level of intimacy that they require from the Thomster.
Ally's interest in dealing with the world is to make decisions, express judgments, and put everything that he encounters into an understandable and rational system. Consequently, he is quick to express judgments. He has a very evolved intuition, and is convinced that he is right about things. When he is misunderstood. He'll tend to blame misunderstandings on the limitations of the other person, rather than on their own difficulty in expressing himself. This tendency makes him seem generally arrogant and elitist.
Ally is a self-confident, deliberate, long-range thinker. Engineering, scientific pursuit or dare I say lawyer would be ideal for him. He dislikes messiness and inefficiency, and anything that is muddled or unclear. He values clarity and efficiency, and will put enormous amounts of energy and time into consolidating his insights into structured patterns.
Other people may have a difficult time understanding Ally. As he may see them as aloof and reserved. Indeed, Ally is not overly demonstrative of his affections, and is likely to not give as much praise or positive support as others may need or desire. That doesn't mean that he doesn't truly have affection or regard for others, he simply does not typically feel the need to express it. Others may falsely perceive Ally as being rigid and set in his ways. Nothing could be further from the truth, because he is committed to always finding the objective best strategy to implement his ideas. Thomo is usually quite open to hearing an alternative way of doing something.
When under a great deal of stress, he may become obsessed with mindless repetitive, Sensate activities, such as over-drinking. May also tend to become absorbed with minutia and details that they would not normally consider important to his overall goal.
Thomo has a tremendous amount of ability to accomplish great things. Having insight into the Big Picture, and is driven to synthesize his concepts into solid plans of action. His reasoning skills gives him the means to accomplish that. A highly competent person, he and will not have a problem meeting any career or education goals. Has the capability to make great strides in these arenas.
