In addition to the well-known types of people, allocated depending on the way they perceive the surrounding reality - audial, visual and kinesthetic, they also distinguish people who perceive the world around them with the help of logic. This type of people is called discrete or by digital.
There are no discretes among children. In general, discretes are not born. They become during life. It is believed that most of the digital are former kinesthetics who, after some traumatic events, learned to hide their feelings, including from themselves. When their feelings conflict with rationality, it is easier for them to drown them completely in themselves. Moreover, discretion first consciously tries to control all actions, preferences, body movements, and emotions, and then does so on an unconscious level. Also, children from dysfunctional families who have never been supported, understood or even tried to do so can become digital.
Description of discrete.
Discrete (or digital) is a special type of people. They focus on the meaning, content, functionality and importance of objects. Discrete people are few in society, like any other "pure" types of people. Still, most people use different systems for the perception of reality in different situations, although some system, of course, is the main one.
Type - discrete in any situation perceives information in the format of "logical - not logical." Moreover, the ability of these people to analyze the surrounding reality leads to the fact that in order to achieve some of their goals, the discretes can manipulate other people. They explore and are able to imitate others. Thus, in the situation of communication with the audial, they can find a common language with it, using their auditory information processing channel and their predicate words. They can also communicate with visuals through images. With kinesthetic easily converge, talking about their feelings and emotions. But they do it only when they need it. In other cases, the discretes are not able to empathize, use the phrase "I understand how you feel," "I know how you feel now," etc. At the same time, their speech is dry and unemotional.
When someone else initiates dialogue with discrete, he, on the contrary, begins to wonder why a person does this, leading an internal dialogue with him. He is trying to understand not what exactly he was told, but why he was told it. Such a discrete person resembles a “walking computer”.
How to recognize digital?
If your surroundings have digital, most likely, it will not be difficult to recognize it:
- Discrete speak "logical" language. Their words are constantly used such words as "logical", "correctly", "first", "consequently", "thus", etc.
- Digitalov speech is devoid of intonation, reminiscent of automatic.
- They often speak not about the beauty or the external characteristics of things, but about their functionality and benefits.
- Discrete likes to work with documents, find the logic of things, build causal relationships, formulate phrases in a short and correct way. They can simply explain complex material.
- Digital, like everyone else, strives for comfort, but for them comfort is the absence of a number of stupid people. Naturally, they themselves divide people into smart and stupid by their own known criteria. It is desirable to organize comfort in the general understanding of the word to others: discrete can easily forget to eat, get out in time, stroke, wash, etc.
- Discrete try not to look into the eyes of the interlocutor. This feature is quite controversial. But in general, of course, visual contact distracts discrete. They have so much under control that information from someone else’s look seems superfluous.
If your friend - discrete.
If among your friends or loved ones there is a person-discretion, try to perceive the information as he, i.e. forming connections, standing up logical chains, etc. If it is not available to you, at least keep in mind the information that the logic in his life comes first. Do not expect that he will admire some kind of picture or a beautiful cat, he perceives everything only from a utility point of view: a cat for catching mice, any art for sale in the future. In addition, remember that empathy and just the perception of any information through feelings is alien to him - the main thing is logic.
Use some rules when dealing with samples:
- When communicating with discrete, use the phrase "I need your help," "Your opinion is important to me," "How is it right?" etc.
- Do not try to cheat discrete. Perhaps he will not immediately see through you, but will surely draw the right conclusions later.
- When choosing a gift, think about functionality: the thing should be necessary, not beautiful.
- Do not try to impress discrete their appearance. He decides that you are trying to manipulate him and stop all communication.
- Do not try to prove that you are smarter than him in some field. This is for discrete most vulnerable spot.
- Do not discuss with others discrete opinion. He cares about someone else's opinion. Probably, the next phrase about discretes is “there are two opinions: mine and wrong”.
