Organized and Systematic: Exhorters tend to think of life as a series of "steps" to be taken--which add up to a Journey, when the process is complete.
Provocative: Their nature sense of interest in an individual makes him or her want to DIG DEEPLY into self, while the Exhorter holds the light.
Collaborative: Exhorters like to come along a person and assist. They don't want to do things for you. Their focus is NOT to give a man a fish, but rather to teach him HOW to fish..
Determined: Exhorters have tremendous patience. They believe that the only way that a person ever fails is to quit.
Patient: An Exhorter's ability to love unconditionally, and never lose hope, keeps many souls on the path until it reaches completion.
Loyal: Exhorters are fiercely loyal. And if challenged, their loyalty goes more to the person than to the ideal.
Focused on Individuals: Exhorters like working one-on-one more than dealing with groups (except if they speak to a group as thought it was a single person)

Exhortation--Practiced to an Extreme
The emphasis on steps and systems of growth may give the impression that he doesn't appreciate the complexity that can also be inherent in life.
May sometimes give the impression that he has all the answers (God in a Box).
The desire to inspire may cause him to quote or apply spiritual writings out of context, making him look like he is bending life to match his theories or innate optimism.
Exhorters have a tendency to continue working with someone long after that person has demonstrated clearly that he is not ready for or desirous of change.
Their determination to help others may sometimes deteriorate into enabling.
Continued insistence on remaining optimistic may foster enabling......thereby preventing a stubborn soul from hitting bottom and starting over.
Exhorters' desire to continue re-framing and conquering a difficult situation may be interpreted as insensitivity and lack of respect for human feelings.
Character Defects are simply Charismation Attributes, being practiced to an extreme--unconsciously or without a sense of Oneself Integrity.
