Each of us during the day in different situations can manifest himself as a Creator, and as a Romantic, and as a Consumer, or even a Parasite. The consumer lives at his own expense, the Parasite — for someone else’s. A romantic dreams of helping others, the Creator creates real conditions for this. One and the same person can, for example, in personal relationships act mainly as a Consumer, while in work he is more often a Creator. Either in work he is a Romantic, and in family life he is a Parasite, while in personal development he is a productive Creator, the author of some useful book. In addition, it is important to distinguish between situational roles, life tactics and life values. For example, a person usually behaves like a Romantic, and in a particular situation behaves like a Creator, while his dream and goal may be the life of a Consumer. This typology is used not for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, but solely for pedagogical purposes, in order to help interested people organize their lives in a more ethical, moral way.
So, let’s ask a series of fairly simple, everyday questions and see how different ethical types will manifest themselves in these situations? The reader can answer these same questions himself, find his own answers. In this case, this classification serves as a test of ethicotypes.
1. How will the profit be divided if there are disagreements:
How will they behave in competition for a good position?
2. Problem solving. Who should take on the burden of this or that responsibility? Go to the store: it seems to be entrusted to me, but it’s hard for me, but are you on the way? And in general I was tired and sick …
3. A situation of extreme difficulty, extreme danger. War, concentration camp, natural disasters. Who will behave? Suicide — possible or not, when, why?
4. Attitude to life risk: free (skydiving, extreme sports):
To the vital (to take on difficult negotiations, go to reconnaissance in a war).
5. Who are our own for a person, whom do we protect, whom do we help, in whom do we invest? Are all people brothers or beat your own so that strangers are afraid? Are we caring for the strong or the weak, the worthy or the unfortunate, or those who will take care of us?
6. And if the situation is well-being, there is free time, relatively free money and other joyful opportunities — how will we decide to dispose of this?
7. What is the ideal of life? If you can wave a magic wand and your dream will come true, then who will order what?
Perhaps you can name other life situations in which there will be a clear difference in the behavior of our characters.
