Relater/Organizers (R/O) are Introverted, Sensing, Feeling types. Introverted sensing types notice details and then internalize them. Combined with the feeling function, introverted sensing types associate external stimuli with internal feelings, which can result in their seeing more in an object or event than it actually contains. This type is very aware of their internal responses (feelings) to people and events, and may be very sensitive to interactions of all kinds. Sensing types tend to be very literal in their communications and perceptions, and to focus on the present moment. These factors can result in one who takes everything literally, internalizes it, and dwells upon it for long periods of time, holding both the event and the feeling in present moment fashion. As a result, R/Os are prone to moodiness or extreme sensitivity. They tend to be easygoing when dealing with others, but quite meticulous and precise in the way they function in the world. R/Os are most effective in environments that are structured and even-paced.
