What it means in practice
Consciously (line 6, “on the roof”) you go through three phases: up to 30 — trials, 30–50 — observer, 50+ — sage. Unconsciously (line 2) — a natural gift that “comes into play when it is needed most.” The theme of your life is to become an Authority, a source of wisdom.
Which lines it’s made of
Any Profile is two lines out of six. The first is conscious: a person can talk about it. The second works on its own, and from the outside it’s usually seen better than from within.
- Line 6 — Role Model (conscious). Lives in three phases (trying things out until ~30, retreating to the “roof” ~30–50, embodying wisdom after). An example for others, a view from the side. This is what you know about yourself and how you explain your actions.
- Line 2 — Hermit (unconscious). A natural gift that shows itself in solitude. Its light is visible to others — they call it out, although a person with this line doesn’t always realize their own talent. This works without your involvement — and most often it’s exactly this that others notice in you.
The meanings of the lines themselves are the same in all Profiles — only the combination changes. They’re explained on the page of all Profiles.
Where this Profile breaks down
Resistance to destiny and the “mask of a happy person”; a feeling of loneliness and detachment.
This is the Profile’s Not-Self — not character, but a habit of living against your own mechanics. It goes away not through willpower, but through a person starting to make decisions by their Strategy and Authority: it’s they, not the Profile, that are responsible for “how to decide.”
What to do about it
Go through all three phases without avoiding disappointments — and you will become an Authority-sage. Know your weaknesses “by sight.”
A Profile doesn’t prescribe a profession and doesn’t forbid anything. It explains the way what’s yours comes to you: through which door opportunities come to you and what you do with them next.
How the Profile connects to the rest of the chart
A Profile is read together with Type and Authority: Type is responsible for energy, Authority — for the way you make decisions, and Profile — for the role in which all of this unfolds among people. The same Profile looks different in a Generator and in a Projector, because the energy underneath is different.
