Convergent efa Cluster

On the whole, the members of the convergent cluster may be described as externally involving, socially adept, and empathic. They have, or have acquired, a conscience or sense of social responsibility that make them much less self-centered than those in the two clusters we have describe above. Because the b(efa) has some insight into his sensuality, either retained from his primitive F orientation, or learned by virtue of compensation, there is always a considerable amount of tension in the adjustment.

There is considerable variability in the overt behavior of the members of this convergent cluster. Some are overtly sensual, while others are inhibited. Some are relatively independent, while others are completely dependent on their external environment. The similarities and difference, and their dynamic explanation, are discussed below.
