They are very deep thinkers and are usually the voice of reason, though not very assertive in displaying their impressive deductive and inductive reasoning skills they tend to around the right moment. In addition they also enjoy adventure and getting out a lot. They are calm, compassionate, genuine, and can handle large amounts of stress without letting anyone know, in part because they prefer to not bring anyone down with their own dramas. Herberts may appear as though they're very nice and innocent, but tend to contain a dark deviant side to them. They usually don't like following certain rules & will sometimes challenge them. Though they have good control of their deviance when intoxicated they usually tend to let it out.

Fans of "Star Trek" may recall the episode in which Captain Kirk was called a 'Herbert' by the "Space Hippies", much to his chagrin. Most believe this episode marks the point at which the series Jumped the Shark.
Kirk: What does 'Herbert' mean?
Spock: It is, um, somewhat, uh, uncomplimentary, Captain. Herbert was a minor official...notorious for his rigid and limited...patterns of thought.
Kirk: Well, I shall try to be less rigid in my thinking.
