Why The
Reformer?
roots from the sense of mission
leading one to want to improve the
world by using any degree of influence
In the Instinctive
Center
Under-expression of instincts and drives
people of action responding at a gut level,
but pull it in to limit and direct it toward the
goals which their superegos consider
worthy
Anger is a
powerful
motivation
Disappointing circumstances
anger becomes a form of fuel which
launches them into action
Unaware of Anger
underestimating the degree of it, with a
disclaimer Im not angry! Im just
trying to get this right.

Perfectionists, responsible, fixated on
improvement
Perfectionists who desire to reform and improve;
idealists who strive to make order out of the
omnipresent chaos
Have a fine eye for detail
Their inability to achieve the perfection they
desire feeds their feelings of guilt for having
fallen short, and fuels their incipient anger
against an imperfect world

Serious people
Often driven and ambitious, and are
sometimes workaholics
Often intelligent and independent;
primarily people of action
