Emotional authority concerns about 53% of the population. It ranks first in the hierarchy of inner authorities and can occur in any type except the Mental Projector and the Reflector. The Solar Plexus, a powerful motor linked to emotional awareness, stamps its wave onto each type's strategy.
A decision does not lock on a peak of enthusiasm or a trough of sadness. It is tested at different points of the wave: the same answer at the top and the bottom, with a stable sense of rightness, marks clarity. The mind may comment, but the correct filter remains emotional.
The classic pitfall is acting from a single point on the wave as if that day's mood were final truth. Clarity arrives when the answer no longer shifts with mood, and the body senses that the decision holds across the emotional cycle.
