Psychology

What character can be in a person and how does he influence his behavior?

The German psychiatrist Leonhard derived his own typology of personalities, defining what character could be. Communication with people is much easier when you understand which type they belong to. This applies to both professional and personal relationships.

Demonstrative or hysterical

Isteroids - The main shows. Being in society, they demonstrate themselves in every way, they know how to beautifully teach their personality. Hysteria has nothing to do with hysteria. This type of personality is inherent in the love of a bright life, they prefer to dress fashionably, always be the center of attention. In terms of purchases of spenders, when it comes to brand or image things.

The hysteroid has a great fantasy, he is bright, talkative, interesting, but most of his stories are glossed over. With such a character, people easily go for a lie for fun. Self-praise and total self-pity coexist in them at the same time. Prone to hyperbole. They do not see the difference in how to attract attention, because teenagers can do stupid things (to commit petty theft, to be rude to teachers, to break glasses at school), if only parents give them time.

Most of their decisions are impulsive.. They can arrange a "demonstrative suicide"; this is their means to provoke a sting and again attract attention. "Artists", another name for the hysteroids, see themselves as they are. It is not in their character to perceive reality as it really is. They prefer not to solve problems, but to get round, they often flee. Can refer to the disease - from the usual ailments to heart pain. Some demonstrative personalities, as usual, lie to get out of the situation, others may experience psychosomatic pains.

Pedants

Pedantic man turned on the little things and details. He is so scrupulous about the matter, that it is difficult for him to finish it, because there is always a nuance that does not suit him. His positive features - punctuality, accuracy, love of order and cleanliness. It is accurate and clear in everything, especially in work. Such a person will not fail, but he will demand the same from his relatives, friends, and colleagues.

Stuck or paranoid individuals

Suspicious, touchy, vindictive people. They remember not only real, but also imaginary insults. A person gets stuck in a negative moment, psychologically cannot get out of it. Even after a month, his "wounds" are still as fresh as at the time of their application. Paranoids are sure that the world is hostile towards them: colleagues want to sit them up, loved ones change, friends hide something. Jealousy sometimes comes to the point of absurdity; in any act of the wife or husband they are able to find a catch that proves the fact of betrayal.

Excitable person

Such people have extremely primitive thinking, they prefer to solve conflicts with their fists, and not with negotiations. They not only quickly find problems on their head, but can create it from scratch. If they are bored, they can consciously approach the search for the victim. Usually they are fond of sports, because to be able to fight, you need strength. Very often with such a character a person gets a job as a guard.

Hyperthymic

Over-active person. This concerns both his physical activity and the thinking process. Such people go to bed late, while they manage to wake up early. They live on the principle of Caesar, while doing several things at the same time, but they rarely manage to bring them to the end, because it gets boring. Monotonous work is not for them.

It is important for hypermanical people to be on the move all the time.: run, fly, help someone, decide something. Such individuals tend to go into debt, with the return of money they add up badly. They start random romances, their family bothers them, they annoy them to live with one person. About gipertimikov can say - the soul of the company. They have an extraordinary sense of humor, interesting, sociable. Others are drawn to them, become attached, and those in turn relate to them superficially.

Distimik

Rare pessimists. They are all bad! They know how to find negative in almost everything. What could be the nature of such people? They consider themselves unworthy, have low self-esteem. They give up, not even sitting down to raise them. They do not just see the bad in everything, they are waiting for him, setting themselves up exactly on this wave.

Subdepressive personalities are black holes that suck the joy of others. Being close to such a person is hard. The first reaction is to support him, cheer him up. But it does not help. After talking with dysthymic only fatigue remains. Looking at this, they only affirm in their opinion that they are “superfluous.” Thoughts of suicide often come to the heads of subdepressed individuals.

Cycloid

They have an affectively labile temperament. Such individuals tend to the simultaneous presence of two phases - hypermaniacal and subdepressive. They are clearly pronounced, able to quickly replace each other. The mood of such personalities changes with lightning speed.

Exalted type

Something like a hysteroid, but in such a person there is less desire to be in the center of attention, but there is a lot of unplayed emotionality. They are naive and impressionable, everything new is perceived as something fantastic and unusual. Such people believe in aliens, ghosts, omens. Psychologically, they are never in the "golden middle", they either have everything bad, or they are beside themselves with happiness. They believe in everything that they are told, they do not feel flattery, are greedy for compliments, are infantile.

Disturbing personality

Since childhood, such people are very fearful. They are afraid of teachers, dogs, darkness. Peers feel their weaknesses, because mock, mock. In adulthood, all this results in complexes, self-doubt, indecision, and cowardice. Anxious individuals are submissive, they find it difficult to defend their position in a dispute, they are not persistent. They are often hypochondriacs. Experiencing anxiety not only about themselves, but also about loved ones. So, if the mother is an anxious person, she will try to keep the child next to her for as long as possible, fearing that something will happen to him.

Emotive personality

Such individuals are characterized by compassion, openness, gentleness, responsiveness. Chekhov called them "sweethearts." They are empathic, take the pain of others close to their hearts. Impressive, cry while watching a romantic movie, reading a book. They love animals, little babies. They are happy to share their joys, they need to be listened to in difficult times.

In these types of personalities, you can recognize your colleagues or loved ones. Having remembered what character can be, one can learn to build communication with each person, despite the shortcomings. For example, knowing the characteristics of excitable personalities, it is better not to interfere with them, it will be difficult to prove their case. If pedants begin to criticize the mess on your desktop, you can ask them to put it in order. They will do it with joy.
