Overview

A high intellect and diligence combined ideologically-driven reformer structure. Low reflection combined with low humility created a pattern of excessive self-certainty that systematically excluded opposing views. Extreme progressive disposition combined with bold temperament drove the most radical economic reforms in Song dynasty history, but this stat imbalance ultimately becomes the structural cause of the New Policies' failure.
