16 - PA - PEIM>ASOC

16s are slow and lazy, they see physical well-being as the ultimate good. Unlike 2s or 3s, for whom emotional well-being is linked to physical well-being, or 13s who really care about morals, 16s have no reason to care for others’ well-being; they prioritize their own pleasure, and everyone else exists as a means to an end of their pleasure. You would think that that kind of lifestyle would lead to obesity and health issues, and while that does happen, more commonly, 16s realize that they are in for an uncomfortable life if they continue the hedonistic lifestyle. That said, 16s have well-developed sensory capabilities; they are sensitive to touch and smell, and do not like it when their personal space is invaded. 16s believe that what their sensory experiences tell them gives them objectively accurate information. For example, if a 16 likes broccoli, that must mean that deep down everyone likes broccoli, even if they say they don’t. They dress comfortably, and they don’t really care how they look.

In their free time, 16, especially when they are younger, prefer to just do nothing, lie in bed or on the couch. But as time goes on, they might discover an irrational preference for new experiences, change, and activities with the element of adventure. They might prefer walking or driving to new places, or fishing. Even the music they listen to has an element of randomness or weirdness, EDM or rock, for example. By the way, to them, the quality of the sound is more important than the lyrics. Lots of 16 I’ve met watch anime. They understand that having kids is irrational and uncomfortable and all that, but as time goes on, they realize they have an affection for them, and kids love 16s in return. Eventually, they decide to have kids of their own, and they find the whole experience quite enjoyable: children provide 16s with unique experiences and 16s provide kids with comfort and freedom to develop.

16s believe that there is a set of actions they need to perform in order to achieve comfort, and then they perform them in order. If they have a job, they usually make it comfortable for themselves, something where they do not need to exert themselves too much, and instead display their learned skills. They learn pretty quickly, they understand both what to do and how things work. Very often, 16s become specialists in their domain and make good money. But as soon as the income becomes enough for them to sustain a comfortable life, they stop climbing the corporate ladder and settle into a comfortable lifestyle. While climbing the corporate ladder, they abide by the same principle: set the goal, define steps to achieve it, and perform the steps one by one. 16s usually make great cooks and chefs, but the chef’s life is too action-packed for them, so they limit their skills to their own kitchen.

16s are either completely unemotional or have this provocative semi-smile that they cannot control. If they see an ad on TV or elsewhere, they are less likely to buy the product. They see any kind of emotional expression as an attempt to manipulate them. Another reason for 16s to like kids: their emotions are always genuine. 16s do not like loud music, parties, parades, or holiday celebrations. At the same time, they do like the sense of community and family. Just like 10s, 11s, and 13s, 16s humor is sarcastic. Sarcasm in general is just laughing at the absurd, so it would make sense that the types to be able to create A-type utility for themselves would be the sarcastic ones. Although 16s don’t really care for hierarchies, they obey them if it is moral. At the same time, they see themselves as a part of a morally superior group of people, and they are not afraid to say it. For example, if they believe that the democrats are the morally better group of people, they would outwardly express their support and allegiance to them in conversations.
