Methodology of 7 radicals or 7 psychotypes according to V.V. Ponamarenko​

I want to say that this is a very interesting topic, along with Jung archetypes (I will write about them sometime later), but now let's talk about psychotypes. Studying different methods, I came across the fact that the greatest efficiency in communicating with people and in life in general is brought not by knowledge of techniques and methods of manipulation, but by the ability to understand people and in oneself. I can especially note this ability to understand oneself and knowledge of oneself. Knowing yourself, your strengths and weaknesses, makes you obviously stronger than those around you. Only a person who knows his strengths and weaknesses does not succumb to manipulation and manipulates well himself. If you take a person who knows himself well and they are trying to persuade him to behave that is not typical for him, he will immediately burn it. And the mirror side, if a person is completely unfamiliar with himself, then persuade him to act,
The good news is, very few people know themselves. In this technique, we will consider 7 radicals (psychotypes or characters, as you like), which will allow you to get to know yourself better and quickly navigate in people to achieve your goals:

About origin
This technique was developed by VV Ponomarenko based on the teachings of psychologists about the properties of character. The radicals got their names from the terms used in psychiatry that characterize a particular mental disorder of personality.
Radicals are only personality traits in which certain character traits are overly enhanced. This leads to a person's tendency to use certain reactions and behavior patterns in certain situations, to choose a more appropriate style of clothing and accessories.
The essence of the technique is that by external signs, you can determine the components of character. Thus, in real time, without the use of tests, one can see the psychological and communicative characteristics of a partner in his behavior, in the manner of building communication and even in the appearance of the interlocutor.
This information is taken from the book by VV Ponamarenko 7 radicals

7 character radicals:
1. Paranoid (purposeful);
2. Hysteroid (demonstrative);
3. Epileptoid (there are 2 types: stuck and excitable);
4. Schizoid (strange);
5. Hypertensive (cheerful);
6. Emotive (sensitive);
7. Anxious (fearful).

Paranoid (purposeful) type.
These are usually people with a powerful inner core. They live mainly by their own idea, fight for it, suffer, defend. They are not receptive to information from the outside. They listen only to their own opinion ("One is mine, the second is wrong ..."), this often results in unwillingness to listen to others, leads to the desire to avoid problems. People of the paranoid type are strategists, but not tacticians. Their goals are global and the scale is enormous. It is this type of people who stubbornly go towards a seemingly unattainable goal for others. The life of such people is built on principles that allow them to calmly walk over their heads. The basic principle by which they live is: "He who is not with us is against us." They tend to lie within the framework of the idea, only the final result is considered important, and, as you know, all means are good to achieve the goal. They are demanding of themselves and others and always appreciate the merits and demerits of the interlocutor. Usually people with a paranoid radical are not sensitive to stress. This is definitely a strong personality type.
Clothing: People of the paranoid type are characterized by neatness, classic dress code during work hours, and military style at free time. Usually there is nothing superfluous in this style, all accessories are "in place".
Facial expressions: Imperious, confident.
Gestures: Broad, chopping, pointing. Such people tend to often break their distance with the interlocutor in order to confuse him.
Speech: Confident. A mentoring tone is possible. Such people like to talk about topics that interest only them. They are consistent in presentation (firstly, secondly, thirdly ...) and often use harsh language, words and judgments.
Positive Communication Model: To establish rapport with such people, it is recommended that you demonstrate your strength (status). In the discussion, make references to laws or opinions of authoritative people. It is worth giving a clear structure of the arguments (firstly, secondly, thirdly ...). The most successful interlocutor with a pronounced paranoid radical will listen to a powerful, authoritative person than to a subordinate. You can try to show the necessity of your suggestions for solving the global idea of the paranoid.

Hysteroid (demonstrative)
The hysteroid radical promotes the desire to please. Such people often present themselves as endowed with an acting gift. Life for them is a theater, and those around them are spectators. From this they behave demonstratively and strive to be noticed. In communication, one can observe mannerism and excessive talkativeness. Usually hysterics believe in what has been said, despite the possible inaccuracy or inconsistency. This is the result of a desire to embellish any story. Sometimes it is enough just to listen and the "inconsistencies" will manifest themselves. Such a person uses every opportunity to speak. This is a weak psychotype.
Clothing: Often “defiant”, either bright or with extravagant details, complemented by a lot of jewelry, accessories and thick makeup for women. In men, you can see the excessive presence of jewelry, or any other conspicuous details of the appearance. For example, a scarf, an abundance of rings, etc.
Facial expressions : All emotions on the face of people with a predominant hysteroid radical look hypertrophied. These are wide smiles, laughter with an open mouth, sadness with tears, universal sorrow.
Gestures: Wide, pictorial gestures and accented poses prevail.
Speech: Emotional and expressive, with dramatic breaks.
Model of Positive Communication: With such an interlocutor, the best position is the listener. A person with a predominantly hysterical radical reveals more if they pretend to believe in the game. If you praise such an interlocutor, he will make any decision in your favor. To catch a lie, you just have to ask to repeat the story.

Epileptoid (stuck).
One of the varieties of people with a predominant epileptoid radical is the stuck epileptoid. This means that, due to his characteristics, such a person is rigid, poorly switches from one to another. Often these are systemic, punctual, unhurried, pragmatic people. Preparation is important for them if any decision is to be made. They should always have everything in its place. This category of people is intolerant when someone changes its order. Such people are used to planning and writing everything down. The life principle of the stuck epileptoid "My home is my fortress." Contacts are usually poorly established, and from the outside it may seem like a sullen or even spiteful person. Also, stuck people are exceptionally picky when choosing friends. However, if such a person calls you a friend, he will never betray and, if necessary, will sacrifice everything for you. The epileptoid loves his job, very rarely changes jobs. His social reference point is his family.
Mimicry: The look is direct, confident, sometimes the interlocutor may seem heavy. Emotional outbursts are rare and insignificant.
Gestures: Clear, verified.
Speech: Sluggish, slow.
Maud spruce positive communication: conversation with the interlocutor is a success if it leads him to a coherent system of reasoned evidence. The process should take place without fuss and spontaneous manifestations. The epileptoid must see "its" interest, then the alliance is guaranteed to you.

Epileptoid (excitable).
This type of people with a pronounced epileptoid radical defines the category of tough, cruel people. They can play sports, or take part in competitive activities. Excitable epileptoids, as well as stuck, are often neat and tidy, there is a love of hygiene. Such people love short haircuts, short nails, sporty style of clothing. They seem to be always ready to join the battle. You can also notice a love of order and hierarchy, often cynicism towards others. Such people are blindly faithful to instructions. Their principle is "I followed the order ...". In the means of achieving goals, excitable are not picky and easily blame others, including falsely, as if testing strength. Unlike stuck epileptoids, these people are unpredictable and impulsive in decisions. They strive to achieve only their personal goals, and everything else is treated according to the principle "Do not load ...". They are prone to antisocial behavior, alcoholism, drug addiction. This is a strong psychotype.
Clothing: Excitable epileptoid is expressed through athletic clothing.
Mimicry: Look straight, aggressive, mimicry is often small and constrained.
Gestures: Heavy, with emphasized muscle involvement (flexing muscles). This is a gross show of strength.
Speech: Sluggish, slow, harsh.
Model of positive communication: When communicating with this type of people, it is recommended to maintain a distance and maintain a hard line without concessions (otherwise, it will immediately begin to push through). It is also important to show your importance and authority in the issue of interest. In this case, it is advisable not to provoke the excitable to rash actions. Or in the event of a "breakdown" of the interlocutor, it will be difficult to keep the situation under control. The epileptoid will gladly respond to the offer "to be friends against ...".

Schizoid (strange)
This category of people has their own ideas about reality, their own vision of situations. These are people who have their own personal world, where they themselves decide which laws to obey. They are characterized by creativity without patterns and unpredictable behavior. They are highly introverted. Their peculiarity is that they are "Not like everyone else." They are often distinguished by their awkward appearance. These are either seemingly fragile people, or awkward, somewhere grateful, sometimes awkward, outwardly angular. The psychotype of such people is weak.
Clothes: Often their clothes are inharmonious, can be sloppy and "dazzle" with unexpected details. Unlike the hysterical type, schizoids do not have a clear "image".
Mimicry: A characteristic look "past the interlocutor to nowhere ..." and possible mismatch of facial expressions and gestures (for example, joy on the face, and clenched fists).
Gestures: Also angular and incoherent, awkward.
Speech: Quite highly intellectual, with an abundance of terminology, possibly indicating various sources of information.
Model of positive communication: Given the introversion of the psychotype, personal communication is a burden for such people. Schizoid individuals will prefer correspondence communication. If personal contact is necessary, in a conversation with them, it is necessary to avoid harsh assessments and direct criticism (schizoids are very touchy). It is better to set tasks focusing on the final result, and to report (if it is the boss), only by specific accomplished results. Such a person does not perceive processes.

Hypertensive (cheerful)
This psychotype characterizes energetic people who love life in all its manifestations. Such people are often optimistic and tend to find positive sides in any situation. They are happy with everything new and never lose heart. They go to contacts with pleasure, they like to communicate. They are characterized by wit and an adequate sense of humor. Such a person takes on several tasks at once and solves them. Also, this psychotype is distinguished by flexibility and quick switching from one case to another. Hypertimes tend to prefer extreme relaxation. This is a strong psychotype.
Clothing: Versatile, comfortable, free of movement.
Mimicry: Lively, cheerful, energetic.
Gestures: Cheerful, quick. In movements hypertim fidget, often drops things, bumps into corners and people.
Speech: Enthusiastic. Such people can start talking and miss the thread of the conversation, but then suddenly return to the topic.
Positive Communication Model: Open, free communication is recommended with such people. They always make contact, are prone to excessive trust.

Emotive (sensitive)
The emotive radical is inherent in the category of people characterized by pronounced kindness. Such people are used to empathizing. In conversation, they usually listen carefully and show understanding. These are emotionally passive people who love to observe other people's experiences, rather than worry themselves. Emotives like watching television programs, films with emotional scenes, reading books that evoke acute emotions. There is a tendency to avoid conflicts, psychosomatic manifestations are possible, which intensify against the background of stress. This is a weak psychotype.
Clothing: Soft, pleasant to the touch, concealing movement, or simply comfortable.
Mimicry: Weak, unsure. Such people can be distinguished by the "Wet Eyes" effect.
Gestures: Smooth, without angularity, can stroke themselves during a conversation.
Speech: Silent. Such people are more ready to listen, they hardly mind, they rarely lie.
Model of positive communication: With such people, congruence, equality in communication is recommended. It's also important to show signs of trust and try to find common ground.
Anxious (fearful)
People with a pronounced anxiety radical are characterized by increased anxiety, constant reassurance against mistakes. Such people often cannot make decisions for themselves. They try to close themselves off from communication, they are very worried during contacts. They have their own calming rituals (for example, wiping your feet, spitting over your shoulder, before starting work they drink coffee every day “to work in”). They are punctual and follow instructions to avoid penalties. These are people who are restrained in their statements and actions. Their principle is "Measure seven times, cut once." This is a weak psychotype.
Clothes: Dim, closed. Preferred are dark and gray solid colors or fabrics with small geometric patterns.
Mimicry: Weak, unsure.
Gestures: Self-soothing. Anxious often touches himself, wringing his hands. The poses of such people are constrained, as if in expectation that they are about to "break away" from the place and run.
Speech: Quiet, uncertain. Fear of saying the wrong thing.
Model of positive communication: It is recommended that such an interlocutor show encouraging signs of attention, show trust, praise for any positive statement, it is better not to criticize unnecessarily. If criticism is necessary, it should be presented in such a way that the opponent understands that there is nothing wrong with the current situation. Also, in dealing with “disturbing” subordinates, it is necessary to give the most detailed, accurate instructions.

I will say right away if a person has 1 psychotype, then this is a deviation and usually they are in hospitals. Usually a person has 3. I have not met more than 3, and 3 is not immediately visible. But a person has a presenter, which he immediately broadcasts as a meta-message (see the previous article).
To consolidate the material, I recommend:
Take a piece of paper.
Go to FB.
Choose 10-20 acquaintances.
Type them. At the same time, briefly write why you think so.
Study yourself and people. See you.
