Granda Martin - the Duty fulfiller

Granda is a quiet and reserved individual who is interested in security and peaceful living. He has a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends him a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organized and methodical in his approach, generally succeeding at any task which he undertakes.
Granda is very loyal, faithful, and dependable. He places great importance on honesty and integrity. He is a "good citizen" who can be depended on to do the right thing for his family and community. While he generally take things very seriously, he also has an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - especially at family or work-related gatherings.
Granda tends to believe in laws and traditions, and expects the same from others. He is not comfortable with breaking laws or going against the rules. If he is able to see a good reason for stepping outside of the established mode of doing things, he will support that effort. However, Granda more often tends to believe that things should be done according to procedures and plans. Generally having a "by the book" type philosophy.
Granda is extremely dependable on following through with things which he has promised. For this reason, he'll sometimes get more and more work piled on him. Because he has such a strong sense of duty, he may have a difficult time saying "no" when he is given more work than he can reasonably handle. For this reason, he has often worked long hours, and may be unwittingly taken advantage of.
Granda will work for long periods of time and put tremendous amounts of energy into doing any task which he sees as important to fulfilling a goal. However, he will resist putting energy into things which don't make sense to him, or for which he can't see a practical application. He prefers to work alone, but works well in teams when the situation demands it. He likes to be accountable for his actions, and enjoys being in a position of authoritah. Granda has little use for theory or abstract thinking, unless the practical application is clear.
Granda has a tremendous respect for facts. Holding a tremendous store of facts within himself, which he has gathered through his Sensing preference. He may have difficulty understanding a theory or idea which is different from his own perspective. However, if he is shown the importance or relevance of the idea by someone who he respects, the idea becomes a fact, which he will internalise and support. Once he supports a cause or idea, he will stop at no lengths to ensure that he is doing his duty of giving support where support is needed.
Granda is not naturally in tune with his own feelings and the feelings of others. He may have difficulty picking up on emotional needs immediately, as they are presented. Being a perfectionist himself, he has a tendency to take other people's efforts for granted, like he takes his own efforts for granted. He needs to remember to pat people on the back once in a while.
Granda is uncomfortable expressing emotion to others. However, his strong sense of duty and the ability to see what needs to be done in any situation usually allows him to overcome his natural reservations, and is a supporting and caring individual with the people that he loves. Once he realises the emotional needs of those who are close to him, he puts forth effort to meet those needs.
Granda is extremely faithful and loyal. Traditional and family-minded, he will put forth great amounts of effort at making his home and family run smoothly. He is a responsible parent, taking his parenting role seriously. Good and generous provider to his family. He cares deeply about those close to him, although he usually is not comfortable with expressing his love. He is more likely to express his affection through actions, rather than through words.
Granda has an excellent ability to take any task and define it, organize it, plan it, and implement it through to completion. He is a very hard worker, who does not allow obstacles to get in the way of performing his duties. He does not give himself enough credit for his achievements, seeing his accomplishments simply as the natural fulfillment of his obligations.
Granda has a great sense of space and function, and artistic appreciation. Tastefully furnishing his home which is constantly maintained. He is acutely aware of his senses, and wants to be in surroundings which fit his need for structure, order, and beauty.
Under stress, Granda may fall into "catastrophe mode", where he see nothing but all of the possibilities of what could go wrong. He will berate himself for things which he should have done differently, or duties which he failed to perform. he will lose his ability to see things calmly and reasonably, and will depress himself with his visions of doom.
In general, Granda has a tremendous amount of ability. Capable, logical, reasonable, and effective individual with a deeply driven desire to promote security and peaceful living, not surprising then that Granda is good at achieving his goals and desires.
