Philosopher

Philosophers are knowledge-oriented, analyze rationally, think in logical contexts, and are in search of intelligent solutions. They try to understand and construct possible explanations. Anyone who communicates with a philosopher should be prepared to accompany him in his search for truth.

The strongest motivation of a philosopher is:

Communication

The communication with a philosopher should serve his basic need for rational orientation (cognition). It is about those facts which we can perceive with our senses and about their logically understandable connections. The philosopher is curious in a positive way. When we communicate with him, we can convey information on the one hand and experience his insights on the other. In dialogue we approach reality. Rationally. Objectively. Logically.
In a personal communication with the philosopher, it becomes clear that he does not seek insights indiscriminately, but is interested in what is meaningful to him because it has an ideal, ecological or economic value. On such topics, he likes to go into detail and start lecturing, so that some interlocutors feel overwhelmed. Simply interrupt him with specific questions. That is no problem for him. In the same way, he expects you to respond to his questions in an unconventional way.
The inquisitiveness of the philosopher makes him constantly search for new knowledge, but only concretely on a subject in which he is currently interested. Everything else is set aside for possible later ’excursions’. You can offer him concrete information if you know what is exciting to him at the moment. Or you can try to arouse his interest with an unsolved problem: Maybe you have an idea how we can solve the issue? If he signals interest, send him what he needs. For the philosopher, form is not as important as direct access to content. That’s where modern systems with many linking possibilities and search algorithms are helpful.

If you want to know more about the philosopher, use the pocket book: The motivational type “philosopher” (german edition). Here you will get the important information about the basic needs and about the typical characteristics, relationships and communication of the philosopher. In addition, you will read what the philosopher can do for his well-being, how he learns most easily and which professions suit him. In addition, the book contains a checklist for all important decisions.
