Alfons is a loner who is sometimes withdrawn and has a fairly chilly, nonchalant personality. Although he is introverted, he is extremely rational. He is wary at times of the outer world, his senses, and even his intellect, because they might all be sources of illusion. His quest for identity with a spiritual whole gives him a voracious appetite for ideologies, structures, and theories. Readings which others would find abstract and intellectual impress him as reflections of important and lively realities. As a result, he has a penchant for reflection and philosophical study. He is intrigued by difficult problems and enjoys solving them. There is no difficulty which can discourage him from the goal he has decided to reach for himself. His depth of vision, common sense, and caution, his tendency to be a bit calculating and sometimes conservative, his stamina, and his independent mind all give him the ability to tackle difficult tasks. His concentration gives him an undeniable gift for abstraction and conjecture. As a theoretician, he aims to discover what is essential and universal. Indeed, he seeks to go beyond what is relative, contingent upon circumstances, or inadequate, to reach the absolute truth he fervently desires. His budding intuition is extremely receptive to the sacred or holy. As a result, the ideal or cause he espouses will be related to the concept of universality or totality. Since his lifetime adventure is based in part on this absolute truth, it is important for him to make an effort to define its nature. What sort of universality are you striving for; what spiritual Everest (in yourself or outwardly) are you trying to scale? In fact, he tends to like mountain climbing, because of the effort it requires. It’s a great joy for him. Alone at the peak, he can contemplate and understand everything. In pursuit of this absolute center (positive or negative) which animates him, he is shrewd and persistent. Stamina and endurance are resources of which he is quite confident. His existence and organism are arranged to optimize them; others may consider him slow, but he is really just playing it safe, because, unconsciously, he knows time is on his side. When he takes an initiative, it is after careful forethought and preparation. His great composure, ability to resist and overcome obstacles and wickedness, and his foresight give him a great potential to accomplish total self-control. However, he must beware of one pitfall: excess. He tends to be a bit too rigid and intolerant; in intellectual pursuits

Alfons yearns for a purpose in life, even faraway or abstract.

Alfons invests all his energy in his relationships and partnerships.
