Albert Einstein
The Logician personality type is fairly rare, making up only three percent of
the population, which is definitely a good thing for them, as theres nothing
theyd be more unhappy about than being common. Logicians pride
themselves on their inventiveness and creativity, their unique perspective and
vigorous intellect. Usually known as the philosopher, the architect, or the
dreamy professor, Logicians have been responsible for many scientific
discoveries throughout history.
This may make them appear unreliable, but in reality no one is more
enthusiastic and capable of spotting a problem, drilling through the endless
factors and details that encompass the issue and developing a unique and
viable solution than Logicians just dont expect punctual progress reports.
People who share the Logician personality type arent interested in practical,
day-to-day activities and maintenance, but when they find an environment
where their creative genius and potential can be expressed, there is no limit to
the time and energy Logicians will expend in developing an insightful and
unbiased solution.
Wisdom Begins in Wonder
They may appear to drift about in an unending daydream, but Logicians
thought process is unceasing, and their minds buzz with ideas from the
moment they wake up. This constant thinking can have the effect of making
them look pensive and detached, as they are often conducting full-fledged
debates in their own heads, but really Logicians are quite relaxed and friendly
when they are with people they know, or who share their interests. However,
this can be replaced by overwhelming shyness when Logician personalities
are among unfamiliar faces, and friendly banter can quickly become
combative if they believe their logical conclusions or theories are being
criticized.
The reverse can also be true when people explain their thought processes to
Logicians in terms of subjectivity and feeling. Imagine an immensely
complicated clockwork, taking in every fact and idea possible, processing
them with a heavy dose of creative reasoning and returning the most logically
sound results available this is how the Logician mind works, and this type
has little tolerance for an emotional monkey-wrench jamming their machines.
The one thing that really holds Logicians back is their restless and pervasive
fear of failure. Logician personalities are so prone to reassessing their own
thoughts and theories, worrying that theyve missed some critical piece of the
puzzle, that they can stagnate, lost in an intangible world where their thoughts
are never truly applied. Overcoming this self-doubt stands as the greatest
challenge Logicians are likely to face, but the intellectual gifts big and small
bestowed on the world when they do makes it worth the fight.

LOGICIAN STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
Logician Strengths
Logician Weaknesses
None of this is to say that these relationships come easily to Logicians they
are shy and withdrawn individuals, and getting out and meeting new people,
risking rejection and making themselves the center of attention in emotionally
delicate situations are far from being their strengths. It is more likely that
Logician personalities will leave a trail of breadcrumbs for a potential partner,
allowing them to make the first move and committing to their partner as an act
of reciprocation rather than bravado.
Unless theres a natural affinity for this intellectual style, few have the patience
to try to penetrate their shields, and Logicians are left with a naturally small
circle of good friends.
Other Analyst personalities are a natural fit for Logicians, who share their
passion for new ideas, riddles and solutions. People with the Logician
personality type are knowledgeable and intelligent, and have a great deal of
respect for those who can keep them on their toes in this regard. They will
gladly help to tackle any dilemma thrown their way, offering up sound advice
and rational solutions. As valuable as these qualities are though, they are not
always the best approach when it comes to emotional support or advice in
dealing with matters of the heart, Logicians are at a loss.
Its not that Logician personalities dont feel quite the contrary, they actually
have very strong sentiments. But this is not their strongest suit, making
Logicians emotional reactions strong, untrustworthy and naturally in need of
being tempered by their well-trained logic and rationalism.
People with the Logician personality type are nevertheless incredibly devoted
perhaps not in the traditional, emotionally supportive sense, but they are
parents who are committed to encouraging their growing children to think and
act independently, seek out new knowledge, and voice and defend their own
opinions.
For Logicians, knowledge is key, and they will do their best to give their
children the tolerance and freedom necessary to acquire it. Logician parents
take a relaxed, intellectual approach towards their children, allowing them to
explore the world around them and overlooking the more minor offences along
the way.
Having no interest in exerting control over other human beings, Logicians are
likely to allow their children to form their own principles though they may
take the opportunity of the why? phase to share their own perspectives and
ideas, just in case.
Logician personalities are not particularly demanding parents, at least not in
the sense that they expect their children to live a traditional life of school >
career > marriage > house > kids > retirement (and in that order, thank you
very much). Rather, Logician parents are demanding in an intellectual sense
they want their children to ask if this path is the best path for them, and how to
go about following a different one if they need to. This level of personal
freedom can be daunting, and can take a long time to come to terms with, but
Logician parents are prepared to stand by their children with support and
advice for as long as they need.
While there is hardly a better parent for having rational, intelligent discussions
with their children, there is hardly a clumsier example when it comes to
providing the emotional support that many children need, especially as they
approach their teenage years. In this area, Logicians will need to either rely on
a more capable partner, or to take themselves far out of their comfort zone in
order to empathize without trying to clear away the tears with an endless
series of rational suggestions and blunt truths.
A Poem of Numbers
Chief among Logicians interests is exploring and building models for
underlying principles and ideas, even going so far as to find these concepts, in
their own way, beautiful this makes them natural mathematicians, systems
analysts, and career scientists, especially in more abstract fields such as
physics. There are many other careers that allow Logicians to explore these
interests, but many of them are far too rooted in uninteresting practical
applications. As useful as it is to develop a better vacuum cleaner, it is no
Large Hadron Collider.
Logician personalities are self-driven and have very high personal standards
good enough is never good enough but have few environmental needs.
Despite this relative simplicity, they are often hard for more people-centric
types to understand. Logicians live primarily in their own heads, and have little
interest in social distractions like chitchat and motivational speeches.
Business is growing more complex every day, and this complexity is managed
with technical systems, economic theories, and data. The need for novel
approaches is stronger than ever for people and organizations to distinguish
themselves. Though general people skills are often phrased as a must, it is
the technical work that creates something to talk about, and it is in this pursuit
that Logicians thrive.
Though Logicians may scoff at the notion, they actually function best when
paired with another person. Their position determines which personality type
best fits their needs, but Logicians tendency to live in their heads and vent
inspiration and creativity seemingly at random demands the presence of an
implementer to ensure that no stroke of genius goes unnoticed.
Logician Subordinates
Under the right conditions, Logician subordinates are innovative, resourceful,
and hard-working, easily wrapping their minds around whatever complex
problems are placed in front of them and delivering unorthodox but effective
solutions. However, these qualities require a great deal of freedom, something
stereotypical managers are loath to cede. It is difficult to quantify these
qualities on a resume several other characteristics, like a relative
indifference to job security and to being liked, exacerbate the challenge and
it can take time to grow to trust Logician subordinates enough to allow this
latitude.
Logician personalities prefer to work alone, but at the same time they despise
grunt-work. Their focus on conceiving new and exciting ideas and ignoring
the details of execution means that Logicians need someone alongside to
keep things in order and actually put into practice their often unrefined ideas.
Such a condition cant be forced on Logicians, but a few logically phrased
criticisms (certainly not emotional appeals or pep talks about working as part
of a team) and clever management can make it happen.
Logician Colleagues
For Logicians, colleagues arent so much a group of people who they socialize
and work with as they are a series of obstacles and diversions with
occasionally useful knowledge. Mingling, chitchat, drinks after work these
make Logicians want to work alone, not get up in the morning. Despite this
distance, people with the Logician personality type are unusually good at
developing insightful and unbiased interpretations of others motivations,
though sometimes they overthink it, becoming unnecessarily suspicious of
others goals.
What they do enjoy are riddles and patterns, and any Logician would be proud
to be the guru who is sought after as arbiter on the validity of an idea, or for
their insight on how to apply a principle to novel situations. Logicians love
discussing theories, at least with proven colleagues, and are almost always
available as impromptu consultants. This, however, does not apply to
emotional riddles and conflicts, Logicians Achilles Heel in these charged
situations, Logician personalities have no clue what to do.
Logician Managers
While Logicians dont care for managing other people, it is likely the most
rewarding position as it provides the opportunity to direct concepts and
theories while others handle the logistics. Logicians have a very tolerant and
flexible style, characterized by an openness to logical suggestions and relative
freedom for their subordinates. But this freedom comes at a cost Logician
managers have very high standards, and they expect others to grasp their
insights instantly, and to provide their own in equal measure.
As well as their demand for innovation, Logicians are better than any other
type at noticing logical discrepancies their tendency to ignore others
feelings means that their criticisms often come hard and fast as they direct
projects to their own perfectionistic standards. Here again Logicians do best
with a partner, this time a delegator who can filter their thoughts and direct
their team in more socially productive ways. A liaison can also help to deter
schmoozing and attempts at emotional manipulation, a sure mistake for
anyone who tries.
LOGICIAN PERSONALITY CONCLUSION
Logicians intelligence and logical reasoning skills are a force to be reckoned
with. Be it a minor debate or a life-changing decision, Logicians will find it
easy to entertain multiple ideas and keep a cool head. This allows Logicians
to overcome many challenging obstacles yet they can be easily tripped up in
areas where careful and rational thinking is more of a liability than an asset.
What you have read so far is just an introduction into the complex concept
that is the Logician personality type. You may have muttered to yourself,
"wow, this is so accurate its a little creepy" or "finally, someone understands
me!" You may have even asked "how do they know more about me than the
people Im closest to?"
This is not a trick. You felt understood because you were. Weve studied how
Logicians think and what they need to reach their full potential. And no, we did
not spy on you many of the challenges youve faced and will face in the
future have been overcome by other Logicians. You simply need to learn how
they succeeded.
But in order to do that, you need to have a plan, a personal roadmap. The
best car in the world will not take you to the right place if you do not know
where you want to go. We have told you how Logicians tend to behave in
certain circumstances and what their key strengths and weaknesses are. Now
we need to go much deeper into your personality type and answer "why?",
"how?" and "what if?"
This knowledge is only the beginning of a lifelong journey. Are you ready to
learn why Logicians act in the way they do? What motivates and inspires you?
What you are afraid of and what you secretly dream about? How you can
unlock your true, exceptional potential?
