Basic Proposition: Protection and respect are gained by becoming strong and powerful and by hiding vulnerability.

Habitual Focus of Attention: Power, Injustices and Control.

What "Protectors" tell us about themselves:

• They want stimulation and excitement;

• They are concerned with strength and protecting the weak;

• "Protectors" are direct, confrontational and express their anger immediately;

• They are aggressive, intimidating and impulsive; but

• Deny their own vulnerability and weakness.

"If people start backing off, that doesn't make my anger go away, but if you match it, it will lower and I'll sit down and talk."
