The Warrior wants to bring the world into obedience and disciple. A Warrior is supposed to be loyal to his leader and to obey without question. A good Warrior must first subdue himself, to bring his own unruly traits into subordination, before he truly is fit to subdue others and the world. The principles of dedication, honor, respect, and duty are the ultimate expression of his nature. A warrior is trained to be unwavering in his pursuit of the goal of conquest. He cannot allow himself to falter or fail before the end is reached. He must be able to weather the storms of adversity without yielding to them.

Often a Warrior prides himself on the hardships he can endure. He may even enjoy challenging himself to see how much punishment he can take. The Warrior is the most likely to respond to the call to help someone in a situation which is full of danger and has the potential of death. Answering this challenge is his highest expression. Only a Warrior would be willingly to put himself through the rigors of war. He finds fulfillment in overcoming severity and rigor. Warriors are surprised that others cannot take the harsh treatment they thrive on. Consequently, they may not always be sympathetic to "wimps" and "weaklings" who cannot endure pain as they can. Not only can they "take it", but they can also "dish it out". In fact, Warriors are the most likely to be guilty of inflicting pain (whether physical, emotional or mental depends on their and other personality factors) on others for this very reason. In the worst occurrences, Warriors can be mean, cruel, and brutal in their treatment of people and things.

Productive, organized, and grounded, Warriors are “movers and shakers” in the society that gets things done. Superb strategists and goal setters, Warriors know what they want and how to get it. The world is seemingly theirs to explore and all uncharted territories are theirs to conquer.

Warriors thoroughly enjoy the pleasures of earthly existence, having strong appetites for sex, food, sports and meeting the challenges associated with success. They are intensely in touch with their physicality, which they tend to display strong, muscular bodies or at the very least solid ones. When they play, they play hard.

Emotional and hot tempered at times, Warriors can be brutally blunt and even abrasive. Their intimidation presence can lead them to take advantage of the weak and use excessive force to get their own way. It is not wise to try to push Warriors around because they are usually resistant to bullying. However, they are willing to be led by someone who has earned their respect by proving themselves worthy of it by their actions. A Warrior must be willing to give up his life and lay down his personal freedom for the sake of others. Thus, in the highest expression of the Warrior, the conquests sought are not at the expense of others and environment but for their benefit. In their worst expression, Warriors are sometimes reckless to their own detriment, even to the point of being suicidal. They may express a “death wish”.

They are quick to cut through the fat of any situation and assess its merits. Warriors are the fearless foot soldiers who will go to the front line in any battle, yet, they can surprisingly have a soft side that’s both maternal and nurturing. They are also very protective of their loved ones and can be incredibly loyal as a friend or spouse.
