PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Some time ago human's sense of smell was considered to be atavism. However we perceive the most important information through sensing conscious and subconscious smells - pheromones.
Information that runs through any sense organ partially becomes realized and unrealized, for example, my body feels when somebody has touched me, but I don’t pay attention (I don’t realize) to the constant touch of the shirt against my body.
The same thing happens within an olfactory organ. There are receptors inside of a nose that are responsible for dividing smells into the good, the bad and the so-called “nerve zero” which discerns pheromones. Everything that happens among people is based on pheromones.
They control two the most important processes: ranking (the hierarchy among men) and sexual attraction between women and men. “Nerve zero” is the most sensitive zone of the olfactory type.
Pheromones are subconscious smells that communicate to a person more than they can imagine. Pheromones reflect emotions, states and subconscious desires. On one hand if your mood changes - your smell changes, on the other hand - a smell can change your emotional state.
An olfactory man “smells” your mood and thoughts and believes that they are far stinkier than a rubbish heap. To an olfactory man the world is a source of different kinds of smells and he finds none of them appealing. The scent of emotion and thought provides him with a sense of imperfection within human nature, therefore the olfactory man wears a mask of aversion all his life. They fall into the “stench” just after being born. They despise people with the attitude that “everyone is below me” and haven't the slightest desire to make contact with them.
The olfactory archetype is to survive at any cost. The key to survival is information. The olfactory person receives unique information not available to others by means of pheromonal perception. It gives them the possibility to control, divide and rule.
At the same moment nobody knows anything about an olfactory man. They always stand to the side just within eyesight in case they have to run to save their lives. An olfactory person does not have a scent, so nobody can detect them. People of the other vectors react with uncontrollable fear to their absence of smell. We see them with our eyes, but cannot really perceive them as living beings. This is how the olfactory type influences people on a subconscious level.
A man of the olfactory type can realize themselves only through the survival of the group. They despise insignificant people because of their stinky stupidity.
“My life is nothing, the group’s life is everything”, this is the way the urethral man thinks. The olfactory man does not care about the group with the exception of one thing: they need a group for their own survival(no one can survive alone). The olfactory man became the chief’s counselor in the primitive society, today he serves as a secret agent.
Foreign intelligence service of this nature is meant to avert danger. If a day guard (the visual type) looks around and says there is no danger, and a nocturnal guard (the auditory type)listens to the night and says there’s is no danger then it falls on the olfactory man to detect any possible danger. Perhaps they say that the group must not go to this area to hunt, and without understanding why, others will learn to believe him. Later everybody finds out that there was a real danger there and credit is awarded to the olfactory type.
Inner intelligence service is meant to alert others of danger from within the group. The group survives under the condition that everyone executes their innate function. That is why the olfactory man pokes his nose into other people’s affairs. They keep an eye on everyone to see that they work and play their parts and get rid of those who are useless to the group. This is the reason why the visual people have the primitive fear of them that they express with “I somehow feel that this person is not good”.
There is a big collusion between an urethral chief and an olfactory counselor. The chief is the one who tolerates the counselor because he offers the chief the best means of survival. The olfactory man only becomes a counselor because chief saves him from group’s hatred.
The goal “to survive at any cost” is a non-stop process. We can imagine that it stops on the very second that the world collapses.
So the most sensitive zone of the olfactory man, his nose, never rests. Their sleep is always superficial. They always wake up at the most critical moment and have no idea why.
It is the olfactory men who become the main characters of stories like “In the middle of the night I went to the store and while I was out my house burnt down” or “I was late for the flight and later found out that the plane crashed”.
They possess the uniquely intuitive nonverbal intellect. It is not a type of intellect as we usually understand it. They do not make analyses, do not try to imagine and understand anything. Instead the olfactory men have the most accurate and vivid feelings of what and how to do things based on perceived pheromones. It is simply impossible to voice these feelings.
The olfactory vector does not have keywords. No language has ever given exact names for smells. Olfactory thoughts are best expressed by their younger brother in energy quartile - the oral type.
As far as the goal “to survive at any cost” is the critical that survival is not limited with the norms of morals, culture and ethics.
The olfactory man exclusively concerns himself with saving the body. Neither culture nor morals bind him, but life as it is, and not of a one person but the whole group. Therefore cultural and ethical limits were not put on the olfactory type. If the olfactory type is limited, everybody will die.
For the same reason they do not differentiate between lies and truth. They never lie because for them, there is no such thing.
Developed olfactory men adapted to use categories for lies and truth or good and evil, but they do not sense it deep down and do not perform their role by using these categories. In other words the olfactory man works in those spheres where the categories of truth and lies are not needed, but the provision of survival is important. They may get involved in politics, finance or science.
They want to control any threats to their survival and this becomes their profession.
Modern foreign intelligence services are becoming the thing of the past, the world is global and cosmopolitan borders between countries are becoming diluted, Internet removes all possible limits. We know famous secret service agents , for example, Sidney Reilly, Rudolf Abel.
Foreign strategic intelligence developed into politics. The olfactory people establish relations between groups following their directive “to survive at any cost”. Becoming powerful politicians, ministers of finance, ministers of foreign affairs, etc. they make policy out of deterrence . They do not use the value of morals as their basis, “France has no friends but interests”
All financial systems were created and even today are controlled by olfactory men. Famous financiers to consider are John Snow, Genry Paulson, Aleksey Cudrin, Alexander Shochin.
Nowadays the olfactory intelligence seeks to discover threats to the micro-world. The olfactory scientists are those who research unknown in fields where there is a threat against survival. They simply call it “curiosity”. If this is combined with the appropriate ability it produces world class scientists who make breakthroughs, for example, the discovery of penicillin.
Underdeveloped olfactory people are considered to be sneaks. Intriguers who often become victims of their own intrigue. Archetypical olfactory men become the most horrid serial killers and maniacs; they execute their innate function directly i.e. physically eliminate people who are not able to perform their tasks for a group.
The olfactory child who is inclined to be melancholy does not want to socialize. Nobody in their class or neighborhood likes them. They feel as if under a constant threat. Of course, the child tries to avoid it and stay at home under any excuse.
If parents positively reinforce such behavior the child grows to become a sneak with a bad future who will suffer from intrigues.
It is necessary to understand that to properly bring up an olfactory child means one must kick him into society (school, clubs or sports etc). This is what they really need. The child strains every nerve to survive among others in an effort not to be hit on his sensitive zone.
This is how they learn to execute their role - to survive at any cost.
