Author — A.P. Egides. The book «How to understand people, or the Psychological drawing of personality»
The hysteroid is inherently not a politician. But, in the words of Yesenin, in political life he is «the most furious fellow traveler.» It doesn’t matter which way his leaders are moving, the main thing is that he likes them. He is more guided not by agreement or disagreement, but by sympathy or antipathy. And at the same time, not a single revolution and not a single war is unthinkable without hysteroids — neither civil, nor domestic, nor predatory.
And what areas of activity are suitable for him? Well, based on the main feature — total demonstrativeness, it is easy to see that these are, first of all, artists — pop and theater, cinema, television, radio, these are the hosts of various talk shows, these are pop musicians, and often performers of classical music, well, further — these are some teachers, lecturers, announcers, representative and representative secretaries, salesmen, advertising agents, etc.
And if we discard bias, then prostitution is also basically a hysterical profession. What are some advertising prospectuses of successful prostitutes, in what positions and what only intimate places they do not put on public display, not to mention porn films. And for all these activities, one must want and be able to be the center of attention, not be afraid of it. But there may be other romantic pursuits, such as (like the paranoid ones) sailing across the ocean in a sailboat to get applause and sign autographs.
Artists — they are almost always hysteroids. And, like hysteroids, they love themselves in art, not art in themselves. Stanislavsky, it turns out, it was about them that he came up with this deep phrase. Not everyone who is connected with the theater is hysteroids. The director, for example, is not a hysteroid. But what is a director? This is a person who is not on stage. He goes out there just to bow. These are hysterical actors on the stage. And he is backstage. He, like a “gray cardinal”, manages everything, but he is not visible. You don’t need to see him. He is paranoid. Just as other paranoid people put on political performances (and their “actors” are involved in them), so the director of a theater or cinema embodies his artistic ideas, which are brought directly to the viewer by an hysterical actor.
However, a scientist also needs to present his work as best as possible, needs to promote his results to people, and for this you need to be able to make a brilliant brief informative report or keep the audience in a state of intense attention throughout the entire forcedly long lecture. But if an artist manages with his hysterical qualities (artistry, empathy), then a scientist cannot do just that. To achieve something sensible in science, he must have the qualities of a schizoid or an epileptoid. Just as in art, hysteroids love themselves in science, and not science in themselves, not like schizoids, epileptoids or paranoiacs. But thank God, there are few scientists among the hysteroids, so it will still be science, and not, as we feared, solid theater.
In mastering professional skills, hysteroids show some zeal, they tend to learn interorg equipment, languages.
