Where it comes from
Your G Center (self and direction) is defined, but neither the emotions, nor the Sacral, nor the Spleen are. The truth comes from a sense of yourself, not from the body.
How it sounds
In your own voice. Until you say it out loud, you won’t know whether this direction is yours or not.
What it looks like in life
You call a friend “just to tell her,” and on the twentieth minute you hear your own sentence and realize you’re not moving anywhere. Your voice messages run seven minutes, and half of them are not to the other person but to yourself. When there’s nobody in the car, you talk out loud and at a red light catch a look from the next lane. Lists on paper don’t save you: the page is full and it’s no clearer, yet in your mom’s kitchen over tea everything falls into place in ten minutes. It’s hardest with silent people around — not because they’re bad, it’s just that next to them you have nowhere to finish what you’re saying.
How long to wait
As long as it takes to talk it out. Usually one conversation, but with the right person.
Where people most often go wrong
Deciding silently, in your head. A mental conversation doesn’t work here: you need actual sound.
Where to start
Find two or three people who know how to listen and not advise. Talk the decision through with them — and listen not to their answer but to yourself.
Speak out loud and listen to what sounds right for you.
How it connects to the rest of the chart
Authority works as a pair with the Strategy of your Type: first Strategy brings the situation to you, then Authority tells you whether it’s yours or not. And Profile describes the role in which all of this happens. The defined centers are what Authority is made of.
This Authority comes from a defined G center. It occurs in these Types: Projector.
