Author — A.P. Egides. The book «How to understand people, or the Psychological drawing of personality»
Inaccuracy is striking, as is dysplasticity of movements. It manifests itself in everything: in the apartment, in clothes, in the hairstyle, in the way the hands are kept … There are burrs on the fingers, the nails are broken off. The schizoid would rather gnaw on a burr than get to the scissors. Nails can even be with a «mourning border». But this is already a psychopathic option. And if a person has only a schizoid personality pattern, his nails can be clean. (Sugrobova and I even used the term “schizoid with clean nails.”) Sloppiness is caused not only by inattention to cleanliness. The schizoid condemns exaggerated cleanliness, it is a burden to him: this is not a spiritual principle.
If the epileptoid is always clean-shaven, and the hysteroid has a three-day stubble due to fashion, then the schizoid simply sees unshaven hairs. And it happens that they stick out of the nose or from the ears.
A hysteroid takes a bath every day (psychopaths can take three times a day), a schizoid psychotype is normal — once a week. The schizoid accentuator washes every ten days, the schizoid psychopath no more than once every two weeks. (Well, of course, this is said for a red word, approximately.) If this is psychopathy, then (hyperbole!) On the head is a “porridge” of greasy and dirty (plus dandruff) hair. And in the air — amber; one was even nicknamed «Fragrant» by his friends.
House
The house of the schizoid is usually poor. It contains only what is needed for intellectual creativity. There are usually many books covered with a layer of dust. They are mostly lying around in different places of the apartment, on tables, sofas, in the kitchen, opened in the right place. On this occasion, quarrels with relatives constantly arise. They complain about the fact that the book lies among the food, and he complains to them that they put his books in a pile. The apartment is usually in varying degrees of chaos.
I haven’t seen one of my screenwriter friends for a long time. Came at random, but he wasn’t there. My wife greeted me with an offer to sit in the kitchen: “Here I am the hostess!” she apologized. Then she showed him to his room. Pants, as they were removed when changing clothes, remained on the floor. One slipper is almost under the closet, the other is on the armchair.
There is an ashtray with cigarette butts on the floor, a couple of cigarette butts lying on a dirty carpet with holes from cigarettes. The greasy tie lay in the book like a bookmark. Dried ballpoint pens everywhere.
The most picturesque spot was a half-broken and taped-on telephone set. Tu.e.a was also glued with adhesive tape, and the earpiece was pulled together with a thread. Because of this, Tu.e.a did not fit in the slot of the device, and the wife of a friend asked me to do something with her. I unscrewed the lid, and a membrane opened up, on which small insects were soldered in dried droplets of saliva along with dust …
Inaccuracy in relation to things in a schizoid at times turns into physical uncleanliness.
