C. The Superficial adjustment (A-, I+, S-, C+).

In his book on "The Presidential Character," J.D. Barber hypothesizes that personality is composed of Character, World-view, and Style, which develops in the synchrony with Gittinger's concepts of the Primitive, Basic, and Contact Personality. Barber suggests that "World-view" is developed during adolescence. If this is the case the low Arithmetic, Low Similarities people have failed to acquire a "Worked view"; or, their "World-view" is largely a projection of their own particularly selfish needs and desires. In combination with high Information and high Comprehension, these are somewhat deceptive adjustments; under institutional control or under the thumb, as it were, of strong leadership, these people can be determined (if not necessarily conscientious) workers and followers who will support the values and carry out the mission of their organizations and their leaders, often in an automatic, unfeeling, knee-jerk manner. Under control, they suggest the stereotyped career enlisted men and police privates of Archie Bunker persuasion who follow their orders and beat others into line, with an uncritical and unambiguous conviction of what is right and wrong. Lacking institutional control or strong leadership - operating on their own and in a value vacuum - they can be quite psychopathic: seemingly conventional, but fundamentally self-centered and out to get what they want, untroubled by problems of conscience and morality.
