RINGLEY BARNUM

[attr="class","about_1"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","skinny_content"]


[break][break]
With a natural thirst for knowledge that shows itself early in life, Ringley was given the title of “bookworm” as a child. While this may be intended as an insult by his peers, he truly identifies with it and is even proud of it, greatly enjoying his broad and deep body of knowledge. Ringley enjoys sharing what he knows as well, confident in his mastery of his chosen subjects, but he prefer to design and execute a brilliant plan within his field rather than share opinions on “uninteresting” distractions.

“You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion. No one is entitled to be ignorant.”
[break][break]
A paradox to most observers, Ringley is able to live by glaring contradictions that nonetheless make perfect sense – at least from a purely rational perspective. For example, Ringley is simultaneously the most starry-eyed idealist and the bitterest of cynics, a seemingly impossible conflict. But this is because his personality tends to believe that with effort, intelligence and consideration, nothing is impossible, while at the same time he believe that other people are too lazy, short-sighted or self-serving to actually achieve those fantastic results. Yet that cynical view of reality is unlikely to stop an interested Ringley from achieving a result he believe to be relevant enough for pursuit.

Ringley radiates self-confidence and an aura of mystery, and his insightful observations, original ideas and formidable logic enables him to push change through with sheer willpower and force of personality. At times it will seem that Ringley is bent on deconstructing and rebuilding every idea and system he comes into contact with, employing a sense of perfectionism and even morality to his work. Anyone who doesn’t have the talent to keep up with his processes, or worse yet, doesn’t see the point of them, is likely to immediately and permanently lose his respect.
[break][break]
This isn’t to be misunderstood as impulsiveness – He will strive to remain rational no matter how attractive the end goal may be, and every idea, whether generated internally or soaked in from the outside world, must pass the ruthless and ever-present “Is this going to work?” filter. This mechanism is applied at all times, to all things and all people, and this is often where his personality runs into trouble.
[break][break]
Ringley is brilliant and confident in bodies of knowledge he has taken the time to understand, but unfortunately the social contract is unlikely to be one of those subjects. White lies and small talk are hard enough as it is for a type that craves truth and depth, but he may go so far as to see many social conventions as downright stupid. Ironically, it is often best for him to remain where he is comfortable – out of the spotlight – where the natural confidence prevalent in himself shines as he works with the familiar. It can serve as its own beacon, attracting people, romantically or otherwise, of similar temperament and interests.
[break][break]
Ringley is defined by his tendency to move through life as though it were a giant chess board, pieces constantly shifting with consideration and intelligence, always assessing new tactics, strategies and contingency plans, constantly outmaneuvering his peers in order to maintain control of a situation while maximizing his freedom to move about. This isn’t meant to suggest that he doesn't act without conscience, but to many other types, Ringley’s distaste for acting on emotion can make it seem that way.^[REF]
