Author — A.P. Egides. The book «How to understand people, or the Psychological drawing of personality»
A paranoid person works all his life long (as hyperthym has fun all his life long) — not unbending, not resting, and in the end, exhausted, he collapses on the sofa in his clothes, not even having the strength to wash himself before going to bed. He is not late for business events, if he has not yet gained authority. But if he is already «on horseback», then he may be late.
In any case (whether he himself is late or not), he likes to scold his subordinates for negligence. The paranoid one also bickers with the authorities.
Compare: epileptoids behave with restraint both in relation to the authorities and in relation to subordinates, hysteroids are restrained in relation to authorities, but scold subordinates, and hyperthymes laugh off or swear at everyone.
Paranoid and works a lot at home. Receives business guests, discusses business for a long time on the phone, draws up documents, writes articles, ponders, sketches.
He can write something in very uncomfortable conditions for this, for example, sitting or even standing in a subway or train car, crouching on the steps in the corridor (as is subtly noted in Kibrik’s drawing of Lenin), and does not pay any attention to the fact that they pay attention to it. He does this not out of coquetry, they say, look how businesslike I am, but really because he is a workaholic.
Often the best time for the paranoid to work with papers is at night, as during the day he works with people. Of course, he is a shameless person, but after all, not everyone can be pulled at night, and no one pulls him, so you can focus on the papers.
Unless the office of the paranoid is specifically designed for, say, psychological or athletic work, there is usually no particular order, but rather a «revolutionary» mess. However, some paranoid ones who have already gained power can also restore order with the wrong hands to their liking.
The paranoiac accumulates archives. He reverently treats each of his developments, so he doesn’t throw anything out of the drafts, they litter the apartment and office, causing complaints from relatives, but God forbid touching his archive — a storm of indignation will follow. Although, maybe you shouldn’t touch it? Even if it makes life difficult and worsens aesthetics … This is advice for loved ones who value him as a person.
