According to the teachings of the German psychiatrist C. Leonhard, there are several types of personality. This classification is based on the style of human communication with the world around him, the character as a whole. So, we will understand in more details in these types of personality and consider their characteristics.
Characteristics of a person as a person
Before proceeding to the analysis of the classification of Leonhard, it should be noted that each type of personality manifests itself impermanently, occasionally.
- For hypertensive personalities, it is characteristic not to bring the cases to the end, but they are characterized by initiative, increased mental activity and cheerfulness.
- For the cycloid type of personality - frequent changes in mood. So, when the mood is at an altitude, the cycloid is distinguished by sociability, but it is not alien for them to be closed (during the period of the depressed state).
- Those who are of the dysthymic type are closed in their nature. In choosing from a noisy company and home gatherings, the latter will be chosen. They are laconic, prone to submission.
- Excitable type has both merits (love for children, animals, conscientious, neat), and small shortcomings (non-communicative, morose, sometimes dull). Such persons are conflictual, and therefore the main characteristics in their description are: a tendency to abuse, inability to control one's own behavior, to find a common language with others.
- Pedantic person stands out grumbling, seriousness, accuracy, even mood.
- The stuck person is inclined to moralizing. He is touchy, sensitive to social injustice.
