Up- Orthodoxy, conformity. "The Vicar".
Believer in tradition. Not an original thinker, but sound and well-meaning. A comforter.
Reversed, unconventionality. Misinformation. "Throwing out the baby with the bathwater." Reactionary; the Inquisition.
This is "The Vicar."
He is gentle and compassionate, but slightly "square". You wouldn't expect revolutionary, earth-shattering revelations from him; in fact, you'd feel uncomfortable if you got them. All the same, he is a source of comfort when in trouble, a good and selfless friend. He is a persuader, not a compeller, and if he dislikes what you are doing, he will pray for you, not fight you. Sooner or later, we all need him. His outlook is orthodox and kind; he is moderately open-minded.
Reversed, he is the cult leader. He is unorthodox, the False Prophet; he tells his followers what he thinks they should know. Otherwise, he is a believer in Modernity; the past made mistakes so let it go! Unfortunately, he often discards valid concepts, throws out the baby with the bathwater.
The other extreme is the Reactionary, ultra-orthodox person who hates the new and is unwilling to consider that any new thought can be – the Inquisition, stamping out heresy.
