Resonsibility Cluster - Low Comprehension

B4. Non-Conforming: Low Comprehension (A+, I+, S+, C-).

Having determined something about spirit of the law, the Low Comprehension types will be less constrained or less orthodox in pursuing it (if it is applicable) or in finding alternatives (if it is not). They will be less conventional, less preoccupied with conformity than their C+ peers; thus there will be reason to suspect that this is also symptomatic of an aging phenomena, especially in Rcc men, and perhaps especially in contemporary American society, associated in turn with the "mid-life crisis," or "male menopause," in the course of which many previously very conventional, males "kick over the traces" to seek new wives, new careers, and new codes to ra­tionalize their behavior. At any rate, men who are tested as Rcc in mid-life (or Rcc males whose profiles are being reinterpreted in later years) should be interpreted with the possibility that they are behaviorally Rcu. (They are likely to "test out" as Rcc because they know - or knew - the conventional rules of society conformity; but now they feel less constrained by them. Behavioral data thus became an important supplement to test information, alone, in assessing this subgroup.) They are seemingly conventional, but fundamentally self-centered and out to get what they want, untroubled by problems of conscience and morality.
