Simps the Idealist

Simps, more than most is focused on making the world a better place for people. His primary goal is to find out his meaning in life. What is his purpose? How can he best serve humanity in his life? He is an idealist and perfectionist, who drives himself hard in his quest for achieving the goals he has identified for himself.

Dave is highly intuitive about people. Relying heavily on his intuition to guide him, and use his discoveries to constantly search for value in life. He is on a continuous mission to find the truth and meaning underlying things. Every encounter and every piece of knowledge gained gets sifted through Dave's value system, and is evaluated to see if it has any potential to help Simps define or refine his own path in life. The goal at the end of the path is always the same - Dave is driven to help people and make the world a better place.

Generally thoughtful and considerate, Simps is a good listener and puts people at ease. Although he is reserved in expressing emotion, he has a very deep well of caring and are genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making him a valued friend and confidante. He is warm with people he knows well.

Sipms does not like conflict, and goes to great lengths to avoid it. If he must face it, he will always approach it from the perspective of his feelings. In conflict situations, Dave places little importance on who is right and who is wrong. He focuses on the way that the conflict makes him feel, and indeed doesn't really care whether or not he's right. He doesn't want to feel badly. This trait sometimes makes him appear irrational and illogical in conflict situations. On the other hand, He makes a very good mediators, and is good at solving other people's conflicts, because he intuitively understands people's perspectives and feelings, and genuinely wants to help them.

Simps is flexible and laid-back, until one of his values is violated. In the face of his value system being threatened, he will become an aggressive defender, fighting passionately for his cause. When Dave has adopted a project or job which he's interested in, it usually becomes a "cause" for him. Although he is not a detail-oriented individual, he will cover every possible detail with determination and vigor when working for his "cause".

Dave does not like to deal with hard facts and logic. His focus on his feelings and the Human Condition makes it difficult for them to deal with impersonal judgments. He doesn't understand or believe in the validity of impersonal judgment, which makes him naturally rather ineffective at using it. Dave will avoid impersonal analysis, although is able to be quite logical. Under stress, it's not uncommon for him to mis-use hard logic in the heat of anger, throwing out fact after (often inaccurate) fact in an emotional outburst.

Simps has a very high standard and ia a perfectionist. Consequently, he is hard on himself, and doesn't give himself enough credit. Dave can have problems working on a project in a group, because his standards are likely to be higher than other members' of the group. He needs to work on balancing his high ideals with the requirements of every day living. Without resolving this conflict, he will never be happy with himself.
Simps is a talented writer. Although he is awkard and uncomfortable with expressing himself verbally, but has a wonderful ability to define and express what he's feeling on paper. Teaching perfect for him because he is at his best in situations where he is working towards the public good, and in which he doesn't need to use hard logic.

Dave will accomplish great and wonderful things, but he will not give himself credit for it.
