Kanji for the Visual / Spatial Learner Idealist (Intuitive-Feeling)
The Idealist core needs include identity, self-actualization, meaningfulness, and significance. Idealists look to the future, focusing on what might be. They engage in activities because they are meaningful rather than because they are routine, mandatory, efficient, or entertaining. They search for identity and meaning in life. They want to experience life but want the experiences to have meaning beyond the mere event. They want to know how the world works in personal, spiritual terms. They seek to grow and reach their own potential. Integrity is important to the Idealist. They focus on human potential, ethics, culture, quality of life and personal growth. At their best they are empathic, caring, warm, and seek harmony. They often communicate with symbols and metaphors. Idealists are seen as creative because they like to express their unique identity. They tend to take criticism very personally. Idealists operate out of their values and intuitive perceptions and can be surprised when others lack awareness of the deep issues below the surface.
They prefer learning about what could be rather than what is. Creativity is a part of life for Idealists. They have a tendency towards daydreaming. They tend to speak in globalistic terms, often using similes and metaphors both in their speech and writing. Lessons that do not focus on insightful or imaginative topics often fail to hold the Idealist’s attention. -
