But he couldn’t help but steal. “The Twelve Chairs” In this chapter, since the emotive radical is in many ways similar to the anxious one, I decided to combine the description of these two radicals in combination with the unstable one. I think it will be easier to describe these psychotypes this way and it will be easier to understand them against the backdrop of similarities and differences. And so, the emotional is unstable and the anxious is unstable. The nervous system is weak, slow, with priority for the impulsive emotional part over the rational controlling one, well, that is, the same instability. With weak functioning of the mirror neurons responsible for sympathy and empathy, the bias will go towards anxious instability, and if they work well, emotivity will be added to instability. I would like to start the description of these psychotypes with this model, which I took from Anatoly Protopopov, an ethologist, the author of numerous articles and several books devoted to human instincts and the biological nature of human behavior. Explaining human behavior, he uses concepts introduced by him such as rank and primacy. Well, at least I learned about these concepts in describing the nature of human behavior for the first time from his books .So, rank in his description is precisely an animal rank, as opposed to a social rank. Moreover, they can be either equal to each other or very different. For example, social is determined by social status, material capabilities, titles and positions. And animal rank is determined in the same way as for animals in a pack: stress resistance, conflict potential and conflict tolerance, brute physical strength and the determination to use it. That is, the stronger, more persistent and fearless an individual in a pack, the higher its rank will be (well, almost always with rare exceptions ). In human society, paranoid, hyperthymic, and epileptoids have a high animal rank. These radicals have a stronger nervous system and, accordingly, their animal rank is higher. And hysterics, anxious and emotive people have a weaker nervous system, or, to put it another way, more sensitive, and therefore their animal rank is lower. In human society, this is clearly seen in the building of hierarchies in school among children or for example in the army and in prison. It is the animal rank that rules there. The top of these hierarchical pyramids is occupied not by the most financially secure or intelligent, but by the most, so to speak, daring and fearless. And of course, this rank does not disappear anywhere in any social groups, even among academicians and professors, but only there it is not so clearly noticeable and has much less influence. And the second is primativity. The explanation here is simpler if you have already read the previous chapters about instability. Primacy is an indicator of the ratio of the emotional animal part to the rational human part. The stronger the animal part in relation to the human part, the higher the primativity, and accordingly vice versa. That is, high primativeness is precisely the instability described in these chapters. The higher the primativeness, the higher the instability. Now what have we got? Based on these two factors, people can be divided into four groups. The first group is high rank, high primativeness. These include unstable epileptoids and unstable paranoid ones. The second group is high rank, low primativeness, paranoid schizoids and epileptoid schizoids are most suitable here. The third group is low rank, low primativeness - here are emotive schizoids and anxious schizoids. Well, the fourth group is a low rank, high primativeness. And these are exactly those whom I want to describe in this chapter. These are unstable emotives and unstable anxious ones. That is, the low rank here is determined by the weakness and sensitivity of the nervous system, andinstability - high primativeness. In this chapter I will not give examples of real people, but only famous characters from films and books. In life, of course, you can also find them, but I think that there is not a single person who would like to be called as the owner of this psychotype, since this would be perceived as an insult for any person. And here’s why. An unstable emotive and an unstable anxious one are the most cowardly psychotypes. Yes, they have differences from each other, and maybe an emotional unstable one is still more attractive in society, or maybe better said, less repulsive than an anxious unstable one. But still, few people would like to have such character traits. At the beginning, I will explain what the most cowardly means, because all those who have a weak nervous system are not brave. Why exactly are these psychotypes the most cowardly? The point here is that hysterics, emotives and anxious ones, who have a high level of control over their emotional manifestations and are less impulsive than unstable ones, can suppress their fear. And they can act or behave if circumstances require it in spite of this fear. That is, they can even consciously risk their lives for the sake of some distant goals and in accordance with the norms of morality and morality. But an unstable anxious person will do this worse than others. That is, in any dangerous situation, this psychotype will act impulsively, based on momentary animal fear. And this will manifest itself not only in actions, but will also manifest itself just as clearly on a non-verbal level, in facial expressions, gestures, posture, and voice. An unstable, anxious person is also the most vile psychotype, so to speak, since if he shows aggression, it is only either on the sly, from behind, on the sly, or in relation to the weakest creature, who cannot defend himself. For example, in relation to the elderly, the disabled, children or often animals. Moreover, they show aggression, which is often called unmotivated. Unmotivated because those who try to understand the reasons for such actions cannot understand the motive for such cruelty. But this reason exists, and it lies precisely in the structure of the nervous system, and specifically in the factors that form this psychotype. The point here is that this psychotype, like all other psychotypes, has a certain amount of aggression. But, there is a big “but”. Since this psychotype is the weakest and most cowardly, in society this aggression does not have the opportunity to manifest itself in social interaction. It is suppressed, and with instability it is suppressed not so much by the internal censor, that is, by attitudes and beliefs formed by the rules of morality and culture, as happens in other asthenic psychotypes, but simply fear of stronger individuals, surrounded by whom the social interaction of the anxious unstable one mostly takes place. And at that moment when this psychotype meets a weaker creature (I use the word “creature” because it could be animal) he has the only opportunity to release the accumulated aggression. Maybe someone has noticed that dogs, most of them homeless, often attack physically weak people. For example, those who limp, walk heavily, are hunched over, or have any physical disabilities. That is, it is the weakness of the object that causes aggression in them. This is exactly the same with an unstable anxious person. In general, he grovels before the strong, and shows aggression towards the weak. I believe that such qualities in a person are not only the most condemned, but also, one might say more harshly, despised by society. Yes, the most suitable type that reflects this psychotype in movies and books is a person who is called the “six” in the criminal world. This character is well depicted in the Soviet cartoon “Mowgli”, known to the older generation - the jackal Tabaki is the assistant to the main anti-hero of the tiger “Shere Khan”, well, the one who said the famous phrase “And we will go north” Not badIt was possible to portray this character in films by Ivan Bortnikov, who played the bandit Promakashka in the film “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed” and Klop in “Antikiller”. Even better, I think this character comes out from the artist Alexander Bashirov (please do not confuse him with Basharov). For example, the role of Spartak in the film “Needle” or the false Major Shurik Babakin in the film “Assa”. Alexander Bashirov is generally a very characteristic artist, most often playing this particular character of a criminal with an unstable, anxious psychotype. In principle, Alexei Panin can be added to this list, who also often portrays a character with the same psychotype in films. Now about the unstable emotive. In principle, In all psychotypes that have an emotive radical in their composition, the emotive radical always softens the negative manifestations of other radicals. Emotiveness implies kindness and sympathy for other people and animals. Here emotivity is no exception either. But this manifests itself in a rather peculiar way in such a combination of radicals as an unstable emotive. One might think that such a combination pushes a person to constantly care about the people around him and ignore his own interests for the sake of the interests of others. And this is true, but only in situations of direct communication. That is, it will be so at the moment when you communicate with him. Yes, at this moment he will sincerely (the unstable most sincere, the most natural radical) want to do you many pleasant things. And most likely he will even promise to do many more good things for you. You may see how he wants to become your best friend. But when he leaves communication with you, then due to the presence of instability, his motivation to fulfill his promise will greatly decrease. Moreover, he will now promise the same thing to someone else, the one with whom he will communicate next time. I will give this example. An unstable emotive promised to help you in some matter. Moreover, he himself will insist on help. You agreed on a time, you planned the day for this time, prepared tools and material, planned its role in this task and with full confidence that the job will be done, you even promised someone the result of this work. But what could go wrong? And the fact that your assistant, whom you are waiting for, met another friend of his and immediately wanted to help him now, because being useful and necessary to someone is the main motive for the emotive. And an unstable emotive is always motivated to do this, but this motivation is strongest at the moment of direct contact with another person. Therefore, having met another acquaintance, an unstable emotive, not only forgets about his promise given before and that they are waiting for him, but simply the desire to help at the moment the one with whom he had contact at that moment becomes much more important than the old promise. In general, unstable emotive is very unreliable in its promises. And what strengthens this negative factor is that when you communicate with him, even after he has let you down several times, you continue to trust him when communicating with him that he will fulfill his promises of help in relation to you. But an unstable emotive will help, but only to the one with whom it is currently in direct contact. But he will also try to promise or offer his help to everyone he meets. What is important to note here? When communicating with an unstable emotive, even if he does not offer his help, still, emotionally reacting to his behavior, a certain expectation appears regarding his care about your well-being. Often people are simply fascinated by his charm and even devotion. Well, then bitter disappointment comes, and along with it there is either anger, or resentment, or both. It is difficult to find examples; this psychotype is quite rare, even in literature and cinema. But, I think, the character who would most closely reflect this psychotype is the blue thief from “The Twelve Chairs” by Ilf and Petrov. In general, what can you advise those who have encountered an unstable anxious or unstable emotional person on their way? Don’t be deceived by them.
