Overall, he has a good nature, a sense of parenting that ranges from more controlling (his 1 wing, if he feels his kids are doing the wrong thing) to more lackadaisical. He has grown so much into his comfortable lifestyle at home, he doesn’t really want to leave his comfort zone and tour again-he likes things as they are and isn’t eager to change them up. Rufus has the sp9’s desire to enjoy live, but not do so recklessly – he is surprisingly careful and doesn’t like his children to take risks.

His Ni can be rigid when he makes up his mind and refuses to budge from it he doesn’t want to see any alternative for his daughter or have faith in her potential fashion career and insists she attend college instead. He loves to provide for them, cook for them, and give them practical advice. As he has gotten older, Rufus no longer wants to travel as much or be away from his kids, and prefers to stay at home in the loft and take a hands-on role in parenting. Perceiving Functional Axis:Įxtroverted Sensing (Se) / Introverted Intuition (Ni)Īs a musician, Rufus loses himself in his music, and used to live a careless, carefree lifestyle of hedonism he still falls in and out of love and in and out of characters’ beds freely, he acts quickly in an attempt to get Lily to marry him instead of Rufus (and doesn’t understand why she doesn’t she puts aside her own happiness to please her daughter). He can be blunt under pressure, concerned with the potential fall-out of his daughter refusing to finish her schooling to start a business, and uncompromising (inferior Te tendencies).

Rufus refuses to compromise, leading to an estrangement. He constantly tries to encourage her, and his children, to stand on their own two feet and be independent, yet will not give an inch if he feels they are being ‘reckless’ – such as when he refuses to allow Jenny to start her own business by signing the papers she needs him to sign. He will often walk out on an argument or a relationship if he finds it unbearable.

He clashes with Lily because he has a ‘why should you care what anyone else thinks?’ attitude that conflicts with her Fe-dom need to adhere to social norms. He has strong moral opinions and attitudes and will not support his children if he believes them in the wrong. Rufus approaches life through his own personal, subjective view of right and wrong.
