This is the most "mature," authoritative, and ambitious type among the Twos. Pride here manifests not through modest care, but through pride in their own importance, usefulness to the group, and ability to influence people. Social Twos are often more cool, collected, and intellectual than other Twos. They are adept at calculating social connections, knowing "who needs to get to know whom," and masterfully weaving a network of useful contacts. Their generosity and assistance to others always have a strategic subtext—they help a group or important individuals to achieve a central, authoritative, and irreplaceable place in the hierarchy. They find it extremely difficult to admit weaknesses, personal needs, or the need for assistance. Weakness seems dangerous to them, as it ruins the image of a strong and irreplaceable benefactor. They vitally need to see that their efforts are noticed. They strive to win the love and recognition of their audience on a grand scale. If a group or individuals fail to show due gratitude or neglect their contributions, generosity instantly gives way to resentment, arrogance, or icy aloofness.
