"Mr. Vater possesses one of the most reserved and analytical of all personality-styles. Because he needs to be absolutely sure of his position, he often asks for clarification of points, or otherwise seeks to ensure that he fully understands another person's position before acting upon it. He lacks social confidence to a greater or lesser degree, and his communication is therefore commonly reactive rather than proactive, waiting for others to ask for comment before offering it. Mr. Vater's interest in matters of fact and accuracy, which can at times reach obsessive proportions, makes him difficult to understand for less precise personalities. While he values relationships with other people, he also likes to spend time by himself, and this can lead to others seeing him as remote." Artist's statement.
