DSY seems to be the prime differentiator in otherwise similar sick and well records. 308
There are good and bad adjustments in every formula. 308
DSY reflects motivation, mood. 308 309
E who is depressed, discouraged does poorly. 309
I who is depressed, withdrawn does well with this ritualized task. 309
Low DSY in an I indicates so responsive he cannot commit himself to the
required internalized activity to do well. 310
Above generalization of low DSY/E = depressed, high DSY/I = depressed is
not always true. 310
"Activity level" is conscious effort a person makes to maintain contact PAS. 310
Iuc with low DSY is actively working to be E. 311
Iuc with high DSY moving in internalized direction. 311
Iuc with low DSY masks schizoid Iu by being very active. 311
Euc with low DSY has difficulty maintaining contact I. 312
Euc with low DSY moody - vacillates from trying hard to be an I
to being quite E. 312
Euc with high DSY person is working hard to maintain I contact. 312
Euc with high DSY is less moody - over controlling at the contact level -
obsessive features. 312
Ruc with high DSY very actively engaged in being R. 312
Ruc with low DSY mitigates stubborn Ruc activity - more responsive. 312
Rcc (or just Rc) with high DSY intensely engages in being
understanding, appropriate and proper. 312
Rcc with lower DSY trying to be too sensitive - distressed. 313
U with high DSY rare. 313
E and U with high DSY more rare. 313
E and U with high DSY aggressively avoiding Eu - often hostile. 313
E and U with low DSY more aware that person has to avoid
being too negativistic, withdrawn, tense. 313
E and A with high DSY can afford to be somewhat withdrawing - instead of
hostile, people call them aggressive. 313
E and A, high DSY generally good thing because high DSY indicates person is engaged aggressively in something besides being A. 313 314
DSY least stable of tests. May indicate mood at time of test. 314
Take ERU with high DSY. Could indicate person is hostile to the test or
a hostile person. 314
ERU with high DSY who is hostile will always have high DSY. 314
High DSY tends to be moody - person puts themselves under a lot of
pressure and it might collapse at another time. 315
Might think of H+ as H and L - i.e. moody. 315
Activity level deals with extent to which person is trying to avoid
negative aspects of basic adjustment. 315
Consider Iuc Fuc Uuc - basic IFU, contact ERA. High DSY person is more
IFU than ERA. Low DSY person is more ERA than IFU. 316
Euc Fuc Uuc. EFU basic and IRA contact. Low DSY person is more EFU. If
DSY is high, person is more IRA. Very high DSY - swings IRA and EFU. 316
Now consider Icc Fuc Ucc. Basic EFA. Contact ERU. The most vulnerable
part is Fuc - least compensated. 316 317
Icc Fuc Ucc low DSY - person working hard to avoid F - many R
characteristics. High DSY much more involved in vacillating between R and
F but little vacillation in E and A.
Ucu might not be appropriate all the time but because person is not
worried about role, has "A-ish" presentation. 318
Ucc has cautiousness that gives contact a "U-ish" look. 317 318
Ucc high DSY can be pompous - knows should not be but under pressure
and relieve of the anxiety - awareness that should not be pompous - and
will collapse in the direction of being pompous. 319
High DSY Uuc aware should be more pompous - high DSY tries hard to
be pompous and does feel pompous. 320
Put Uuc under pressure, the DSY goes down, into U. 320
Uuc has low threshold for humiliation, tries hard to do what is right
but does not know what is right and you peel back that "c" on the end,
and he moves to stubborn Uu.
Acc recognizes you can't spend your whole life keeping people at
a distance. 320 321
Acc is still Ac - people at a distance - but aware of need to be
socially appropriate. 321
Acc under too much pressure become rejecting due to Ac. 321
Auc - you put under pressure and peel away that appropriate anxiety,
and person moves in direction of getting too involved. 321
Auc works against exploiting personal relationships, but under pressure
peel away the "c" and they start exploiting personal relationships. 321
Acc healthier than Acu in some circumstances more pleasant because
Acu is hostile, rejecting. 322
Acu can be very unconventional. 322
Uuu is not necessarily fixed role: just do what the job is to do at a
superficial level. Can look adaptable. 322
Uuu in structure (like office) can look adaptable, but if see in personal life, much more like the Atlas (stubborn, negativistic, withdrawn and socially non-relating). 323
Uuc knows he should have a fixed role - and tries at times to work hard at it. 323
Uuc vulnerable - can be discouraged or socially ineffective. 323
Uuc may know to not be stubborn - but under certain pressure, is very stubborn and it is unexpected. 324
Uuc working so hard to what they are supposed to do but uncomfortable - withdraws into depressed, stubborn. 324
Iuc (pressure to remain in contact), Fuc (pressure to be more regulated), Uuu has not developed fixed role - dependent and sensitive to what it is that he is supposed to do. 324
Iuc Fuc Uuu can be hard working, prototyped, in an organizational setup - not good role players, but sensitive to what they are supposed to do. 325
Uc with IF forced to become stereotyped in role - more likely to have social interpersonal problems than Uu (in an IF profile). 325
Uuu with IR lacks sensitivity of F - more woodenness. 325
Iuc Rcc Uuc as airline reservations clerk - no fear of not being themselves - can teach well - but treat everyone alike - no sensitivity to mood or need. 325 326
Now Icc Rcc Ucc - say recreation director - learned role - but no sensitivity to those who don't want to dance. 326
Icc Rcc Ucc makes good learned role insurance agent, Avon lady. 326
Icc Rcc Ucc when withdraws does so in appropriate way. 327
R with Uuu who is autistic more likely to be unaware of any role supposed
to play and perseverate inappropriately. 327
F and Uu more ability to see that they have to play some kind of role. 327
EFU with Uuu not common, more likely Uuc. 328
EFU with Uuu will have a lot of compensation: likely Ecc Fuc Uuu
- Librarians, historians. 328
Ecc Fuc Uuu librarian trouble in library because spends time with books
refuse to have anything to do with people who come in. 328
Uuu not tense - tension comes with Uuc who knows they are supposed to
play a role. 328
librarian (or historian) 328
Ecc Fuc Uuu historian spends all of his time as a writer (researcher). 328
If historian/researcher remains Uuu use whatever they have learned
as total means of adjustment avoiding precipitation of Uuu. 328
Uuu problems come with intimate relationships - have few, resist
people entering their life space. 329
Uuu relatively non-tense person person not uncomfortable with Uuu. 329
Uuc is tense - know they should be doing something they are not. 329
Uuc get frustrated when people resist what they are trying to do. 329
Uuc, like Iuc compulsively E, or Fuc compulsively R, can be compulsively
involved trying to play a role because he is anxious about underlying
Uu rejection. 329
Uu has had a lot of experience with rejection. 329
Uc has learned how to handle rejection. 329
Uc many times learns to handle rejection by rejecting. 329 330
Uc tendency for role being pompous. 330
Uuc rejection causes depression - thus compulsively act like feelings are not hurt to avoid emotional collapse. 330
Uuc aware of low threshold for humiliation - try to avoid showing it. 330
