Anatomy of an Empath

Letter from
Keirsey
Dear Friend,
Welcome to the July 2015 issue of the Keirsey Magazine. This month
we are featuring Martha Graham, a divine representation of the Artisan
Composer ISFP. We call them the Artistic Leaders. Martha is celebrated
as the mother of modern dance. Her pioneering spirit created a category
of dance that is now recognized and studied all over the world. I
found it fascinating to learn about her and to see how progressive and
revolutionary she was as an artist which transcended not only her time,
but of all time.
When I think of Marthas performances, the words that come to mind
are, flow, grace, and elegance. I am thrilled at the artwork created by
our feature artist this month, who did an amazing job capturing Marthas
unique essence and distinctive style. We hope that through Martha
Graham, along with all the leaders that we ever feature, you will learn so
much about the different types of people around us, and that you will
celebrate all of the different qualities that different temperaments bring
to the table. This month we celebrate all kinds of artists, Artisan or not,
the world would be such a different place without them.

THERE IS A VITALITY,
A LIFE FORCE,
AN ENERGY,
A QUICKENING,
THAT IS TRANSLATED
THROUGH YOU
INTO ACTION,
AND BECAUSE THERE IS
ONLY ONE OF YOU IN ALL TIME,
THIS EXPRESSION IS UNIQUE.
AND IF YOU BLOCK IT,
IT WILL NEVER EXIST
THROUGH ANY OTHER MEDIUM
AND WILL BE LOST.

Portrait of a Leader
Her art spoke volumes on the vitality and strength of a womans sexuality, and of her superiority at a time
when women were looked upon as less capable than men.

Spirituality
as Sensuality.
The pursuit of the Artisan is sensuality. We
are to, Eat, drink, and be merry. Artisans
believe that, Life is short. And they want
to live with total freedom, to be able to fully
express themselves, the way they want,
when they want, without restriction. They
seek to be intoxicated by all that life has to
offer. To live sensually and hedonistically.
They are enthralled by the physical,
wanting to see, hear, taste, touch, and smell
that which is beautiful. The human body is
meant to be naked, and to be stimulated to
the max as often as possible, in ways that are
new and exciting. For Artisans, spirituality
is about surrendering to the moment that
brings deep delight. In sacred literature
Artisans were the ones who struggled with
lust. They celebrated the sexual nature of
being, and creatively explored the different
ways to make life orgasmic.

Spirituality
as Respectability.
The pursuit of the Guardian is respectability.
We are to, Earn our keep. Guardians
believe that, Life is unpredictable. And
they want to be prepared for the rainy days,
to create safety, and build security in the
midst of uncertainty. They seek to restrain
themselves from wasteful indulgence. To
exercise prudence and discretion. They
are disciplined and approach life carefully,
believing that any misstep can derail them
from the path of godliness. The human body
is meant to be clothed in righteousness,
and covering ones shame is what restores
dignity to ones being. For Guardians,
spirituality is about surrendering our will
to the greater good. In sacred literature
Guardians were the ones who struggled
with fear. They celebrated honor and purity
of being, and did whatever they could to
uphold a higher standard for living.

Spirituality
as Love.
The pursuit of the Idealist is love. We are
to, Love one another. Idealists believe
that, Life is miraculous. And they want
to live authentically and in harmony with
others, to live in ideality and wonder, away
from the hurts and wounds of life. They
seek to engage the soul, and to live from
the heart. To find their true selves and live
their best lives. They are full of wonder and
view life romantically, believing that there
is a reason for everything. The human
body is meant to be transcended, yet is to
be taken care of, for it is an earthly vessel
that carries that which is eternal. For
Idealists, spirituality is about surrendering
to the mystical, and to be nurtured by the
divine. In sacred literature Idealists were
the ones who struggled with inner peace.
They celebrated the wonder of being, and
engaged intimately with the divine.

Spirituality
as Knowledge.
The pursuit of the Rational is knowledge.
We are to, Seek wisdom and to gain
understanding. Rationals believe that Life
is explainable. And they want to unravel
and solve the mysteries of the universe, in
order to provide those explanations and
solutions. They seek to use the full capability
of their minds. To innovate and to evolve.
They are intellectually curious, utterly
willful in their quests, and supremely self
sufficient. The human body is meant to be
studied, analyzed, dissected, scrutinized,
and explored in order to gain greater
insight into the nature of humanity. For
Rationals, spirituality is about surrendering
to no one. In scared literature Rationals
were the ones who struggled with pride.
They celebrated the advancement of the
human being, and were irreverent to the
suppressive establishments of their times.

Artisans dont really need to be told how
to have fun. Their entire lives are about
having fun. They have fun all the time. So
what we discuss here and suggest might be
more useful to those people in an Artisans
life who just dont get them. Or if youre an
Artisan, what we talk about here may give
you some insight on why you are the way
you are. So heres the scoop. For Artisans
money buys them freedom, allows them to
be audacious, and enhances pleasure. Fun
for them is about spontaneously engaging
any impulse, being over-the-top in their
adventures, and accessing new and different kinds of stimulation. The drawback to
this, however, is that Artisans are prone to
addictions and often dont know how to do
moderation.

IDEALIST
SPENDING
Idealists can deceive themselves into
thinking that theyre having fun even
when theyre not enjoying something at
all. They end up trading in authenticity for
relational harmony. Both are core needs for
them, but far too often, they can stop being
honest about whether they feel fulfilled, satisfied, or are truly enjoying themselves. This
is because they are often far too concerned
with others needs over their own. They
are always looking to make sure that others are having fun, that they forget to have
fun themselves. If they go to the extreme
of thinking only of themselves, enjoyment
is short lived, and turned quickly into guilt.
Their hyper-sensitivity to anothers feelings
kicks in, and then its all over. Idealists can
only truly enjoy themselves when its fun for
all.

3 Tips
1. Let go of your fear of how others
might be feeling. If theyre with you, its
more than likely that they want to be with
you. Youre the reason theyre around,
so its best to be authentic and be your
true self. Dont be afraid to let them know
what you want. This will create a win-win,
which is far more fun.
2. Explore to see what you genuinely
enjoy. In the name of relational harmony, youve often adopted what others like
and neglected your own desires.
3. Realize that you are not responsible for everyone elses enjoyment.
Playing this role can lead to a great deal
of stress in the long run for you and for
others. Pay attention to your feelings and
connect with others authentically.

RATIONAL
SPENDING
Rationals find it fun when they are mentally challenged. They require intellectual stimulation for something to be worth
their time. When they are spending their
time with anyone or in anything that does
not tickle their mind, they feel frustrated.
Whats fun for them is engaging with people
in ways which are clever, witty, and challenging. They find it fun to play mind tricks,
to psychologically anticipate what another may be thinking, and to influence their
attitudes and perspectives. There are rarely
any activities which are intrinsically fun for
Rationals. Activities are fun insofar as they
facilitate some kind of mental titillation or if
the people they are engaging in the activity
with are fostering some kind of mind exercise for them.
