This is a relatively effective convergent basic adjustment that is, at least in the American culture, the most prevalent. Members of this cluster are externally non-involving, socially adept, and relatively insightful. Generally speaking, they have, or have developed, a social conscience and respond to the need to be socially alert and responsible. With few exceptions, they are loyal to constituted authority. Most convergent ifa are passive, although not necessarily inactive, and reasonably productive. This is a schizoid adjustment in which the individual protects his private emotions, but, with one exception -- the if*a [IuFcAu] -- rarely leads to schizophrenic breakdowns.
