This temperament values stability and security, as such their need for personal responsibility can be so high that that take on too much responsibility. Because of this they need to get things done and are seen by others as being reliable, hardworking trust worthy. They therefore prefer schedules and routines and prefer things to be planed ahead rather than getting surprises. They don't like change and want things to be predictable and stable and view themselves as always accountable for their actions.

Consequently, they are good in making quick decisions and take action. They are practical in nature and love working with others as they feel it is the best way to get things done. They get energized by a challenge and enjoy practical problem solving. Since they love working with others, they are also good at summing other people up and predicting their behavior.

The implication being that they like to involve themselves with activities that they regard as meaningful rather than something routine or entertaining. They know themselves and only want to experience life as something meaningful. This means that they might seem romantic and spiritual, striving to be the best person they can be.

They shy away form conflict and competitiveness. Because life has to have a meaning for them, they tend to work hard towards perfection. 

Rationalist: 

They function under intuition and thinkers. Their essential need is to gain knowledge, being viewed as competent and understanding of things and people.  Therefore their main drive is to gain knowledge and understanding. As such they like to do things properly and views as competent in what they do.  They have a natural ability to analyse situations and identify the best way to achieve their goals. They are able to see connections between things that others might miss. Consequently, they are able to retain large amounts of information and able to manipulate them to find connections and relations. They are long term planner who are very goof at predicting the outcome of specific actions. Since they are concerned about being seen as being competent, they are very skeptical of others and especially if they are different to them. They look in detail at things to analyse them in their bigger context and this ability to move from the specific to the bigger picture makes them good at designing things. They view activities as opportunities to learn and seldom do things just for fun. They also do not want to be a part of activities that they feel they will not be good i and may be seen as very perfectionist and self-critical. They are competitive and independent, not interested in forming close relationships and therefore easily appear distant.
