He prefers to win the attention and trust of other people with reasonable and subtle steps of his judgment than with his innate charm. This is a moderately closed man who, although charming and sociable, does not like to talk about himself and prefers to be closed.

Dayan knows how to be dynamic and decisive. With a great power of persuasion, he is able to command and take the first place. This person has organizational skills and does not like to be a simple performer. His performance is important to him.
