Persons with the Inspirational Pattern consciously attempt to modify the thoughts and actions of others. They want to control their environment. They are astute at identifying and manipulating an individual’s existing motives in order to direct that person’s behavior toward a predetermined end.

Inspirational persons are clear about the results they want‚ but they do not always immediately verbalize them. They  introduce the results they want only after they have primed the other person‚ offering friendship to those who desire acceptance‚ authority to those who seek power‚ and security to those who want a predictable environment.

Inspirational persons can be charming in their interactions. They are persuasive when obtaining assistance for repetitive and time-consuming details. People often experience a conflicting sensation by feeling drawn to Inspirational people and yet being curiously distanced. Others may feel "used" by Inspirational persons’ manipulation powers. While they sometimes inspire fear in others and override their decisions‚ Inspirational persons are generally well-liked by co-workers because they use their considerable verbal skills to persuade others whenever possible. Inspirational persons clearly prefer to accomplish goals through cooperation and persuasion‚ not domination.
