Author — A.P. Egides. The book «How to understand people, or the Psychological drawing of personality»
It is predominantly figurative in the hysteroid. Abstractions are, of course, available to him. However, he does not think in mathematical formulas. Any concept he uses is easy to imagine. It is, so to speak, at the middle level of abstraction. He thinks not in high philosophical categories (matter, spirit, epistemology, axiology), but in more specific concepts (grass, strawberries, fluffy, affectionate, Sochi, Crimea, Mercedes, yacht). Dreaming, he builds rows of images: “Here I’ll go to Rome, I’ll look at the Colosseum, then I’ll move to Venice, I’ll ride a gondola …”
In any person, the logic is distorted under the influence of irrational desires, but the hysteroid has more than others. He, like the paranoid one, thinks in paralogisms that are beneficial to him, but the paranoid one does this on a global scale, and the hysteroid on the scale of a microgroup. “You don’t love me, if you don’t want to buy me this charm …”. At the same time, it is almost useless to negotiate with a hysteroid, anyway, in a similar case, another manipulative trick will be used. But for some time, clarification and agreement still help to keep the situation within the framework of logic, so do not despair. The hysteroid in his thinking is very dependent on the authoritative paranoid, sees everything in the light of ideas borrowed from him. And for some time he is convinced, believes, even believes, propagandizes, explains. Then he gets carried away with a new idea, another author. The same thing happens in politics.
