The Apple Tree Abnormal
Personality
They are the "perennial runner-up", the one voted most
likely to succeed — and then doesn't. Meanwhile,
they haunt the dating services and they are a member in
good standing of the "lonely hearts club". They seem to
have some sort of compulsion to never succeed at any
thing. They forever fail to live up to their potential
— one of the Gary Harts and Jerry Browns of the
world. They are person who is "living under their Apple
Tree" . . .

The Baby Bird Abnormal
Personality
Have you ever seen a mother bird feeding her young?
There they are, mouths wide open, pushing, shoving and
shrillingly demanding whatever morsel is in mom's mouth
at the moment, with not the slightest regard for anyone
or anything else. This is the perfect picture of the
'baby bird' in action.

The Black Sheep Abnormal
Personality
Remember the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk?" Or, more
to the point, remember the giant? The giant was a "black
sheep". And "FEE, FI, FO, FUM!" is the "mantra" of the
"black sheep". This is the "perpetual bully" who becomes
a "professional asshole". They are a "careening cannon"
who "blows away" whoever and whatever is in their path.
They never stop assaulting the environment, and they
coerce, clobber and control their way to whatever they
want, like a 500-pound gorilla.

The Center Stage Abnormal
Personality
Remember 'Gerald McBoing-Boing'? He was the cartoon kid
who riveted everyone's total attention with his ability
to make virtually any sound out of his mouth, including
things like car wrecks, train whistles and tap dancing.
Well, the 'center stage' has the same kind of effect on
people. They are absolute past masters of gaining and
maintaining attention ad infinitum by being incredibly
colorful, exciting, entertaining and delightful - or by
being loud, invasive, entraining and demanding.

The Church Mouse Abnormal
Personality
There was once a sweet young thing who projected the
image of the innocent and struggling, quiet, brilliant
and pleasant person. However, in reality, she was an "eye
of a storm" everywhere she went. Things continuously
happened around her that were often nightmarishly
terrible. Yet she always seemed to be warm, insightful
and integritous, with absolutely no connection to what
was happening around her.

The Claim to Fame Abnormal
Personality
Remember the old 'Bobo the Clown' inflatable punching
bag with the big red nose that squeaked when you hit it,
and that had something heavy in the bottom so it always
came back up for more? Now imagine that clown with a slow
leak, so that there has to be a continuous re-inflation
process going on to keep it up. If you do, you have some
idea of how the 'Claim to Fame' (CF) operates. They are
the 'perennial adolescent' who are 'one note'
status-freaks whose chant is, 'Wait till they hear about
THIS! always trying to prove their right exist by making
a big impression.

The Desperado Abnormal
Personality
Did you know that there is a new phenomenon in Japan
called 'karoshi'? It is a case of working yourself to
death - literally, as they are found dead at their desk
the office in morning. It is becoming quite common over
there. And reflects a pattern that is becoming pandemic
our times - workaholic/servaholic who can't be intimate
or allow love into their life.

-
The Dopey Abnormal
Personality
Do you remember 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs', the
cartoon? And the sweet, simple and stupid-seeming dwarf?
His name was 'Dopey'. He was chosen as the metaphor/title
for this script because it fits so well. For those who
have been programmed in this manner by whatever means are
very much like the lovable little dwarf - innocent,
down-to-earth and easily overwhelmed, so that they need a
'prosthetic environment' to function, ranging from
individualized instruction to 'crib-sheets' to special
routines to specialized equipment to support system
intimates to full-fledged institutionalization.

The Egghead Abnormal
Personality
Meet the "walking cerebrum", the brain on stilts. They
are the epitome of logic, rationality, and left
hemisphere analysis. To them everything has its place and
everything is in its correct place -- at least in their
conception of the world. They have the ANSWER, whether it
takes the form of an ideology, a theory, or a method of
analysis and inquiry. And God help anyone who either
seeks to introduce anything different or tries to prove
them wrong!!!
http://dbs2000ad.com/narayan/egghead-personality.htm
-
The Family Dog Abnormal
Personality
Remember the bizarre butler in 'The Rocky Horror Picture
Show?'. He was hunchbacked and extremely weird - clearly
he would never have been able to make it in the world,
though he had a central role in his master's castle. He
was a perfect example of a 'family dog', the crushed
incompetent who is totally trained to be the family's
support system - or to be up in the garret or in the
basement, like they used to do in earlier times.

-
The Family Emblem Abnormal
Personality
What do Jimmy Carter and Carol Burnett have in common?
Answer: they are both "family emblems". This is the
"superstar" pattern, where the individual consistently
puts out at much more than the average bear's capacity.
They are spectacularly successful in most areas of life,
and they rise to the top of whatever endeavor field they
engage. But paradoxically, they come from a highly
dysfunctional family in which virtually everyone else in
the family spends their life groveling around in the shit
of the family system and its effects on their lives. You
wonder how in the world this individual could have come
from that family.

The Fog Bound Abnormal
Personality
Remember that guy in the trench coat who always looked
like he was lost in space somehow, but who always was in
exquisite control of everything? "Columbo", his name was,
I believe. He had a way of looking somehow befuddled all
the time, and yet he had a video camera's eye and memory
for virtually every detail of everything he encountered.
Trivial or important, it didn't matter — he knew it
all equally well.
http://dbs2000ad.com/narayan/fog-bound-personality.htm
-
The Goodie-Getter Abnormal
Personality
Remember John Belucci? It was found by autopsy that he
was already dead in five major organs - he was a walking
corpse who would have died of 'natural causes' within the
next two weeks anyway. He had managed to dissipate
himself to death by the age of 33. He was a fine example
of a 'goodie-getter'.
http://dbs2000ad.com/narayan/goodie-getter-personality.htm
-
The Goodie-Two-Shoes Abnormal
Personality
Meet 'Barbie and Ken' - 'Daddy's little girl' and
'Mommy's little man'. These are the 'goodie-two-shoes'
(goodie-two-shoes) parent-pleasing puppet whose heart
belongs to Daddy or Mommy. They are the sexually
saturated 'chosen one' who is kept exclusively tied to
the engulfing parent via the 'phantom Papa' or the
'ghostly Mama' in their head for the rest of their life.
They are a highly specialized reward machine for the
'choosing' parent. They literally can't live an
independent life because the 'Lilliput-tie-downs' were so
effective. They are like the odd half of a pair of
scissors for which the other half will never come through
or show up. They end up living a 'movie' instead of a
destiny.

-
The Hobby Horse Abnormal
Personality
Meet "Admiral Perry", who is the one who said in the
heat of battle, "Damn the torpedoes! FULL SPEED AHEAD!".
These are the "cause-aholics" of the world, the ones who
have THE ANSWER, and who intend to see to it that
everyone conforms to the solution requirements. They are
true believers who put all their eggs in one basket, and
after becoming their own worst taskmaster, they try to
ram their trip down everyone else's throat. Now this can
range from the damned foolish to the damned effective,
like Joan Baez and Jane Fonda, Robert Redford and Dustin
Hoffman. But the pattern is the same — trying to
save the world with their "magic" formula.

-
The Injustice Hound Abnormal
Personality
Don Quixote delusionally misperceiving a windmill as a
villainous adversary and charging it, only to get picked
up by his petard, taken to the top of the windmill's
swing, and then dropped on his head. If you've got that
image, you've got the injustice house in action.

-
The Jewelled American Princess Abnormal
Personality
You see that pile of mattresses over there? Guess who
was there! That's right, the 'Princess and the Pea'. She
was a classic example of the 'Jeweled American
Prince(ss)'. This is an individual who feels 'special'
and who expects 'royal' treatment. They are
narcissistically haughty, perfectionistically picky, and
imperiously exploitative.
http://dbs2000ad.com/narayan/jewelled-american-princess-personality.htm
-
The Keystone Kid Abnormal
Personality
Remember the figure of "Atlas" holding up the world?
When "Atlas shrugs", the whole world comes tumbling down.
This is the situation the "keystone kid" experiences.
They feel totally responsible for the care and
maintenance of whoever and whatever they are in contact
with, and their experience is that if they don't cover
all the bases, all hell will break loose and it's all
their fault. Of course, the whole situation is their sole
responsibility, and there is no such thing as a little
help from their friends.

The Lone Marauder Abnormal
Personality
Meet Bonnie and Clyde, the "lone marauders". These are
the "criminal personalities" of the world. They
juggernaught their way through life with the basic
orientation of, "I gotta right — and you'd better
back off!". They operate like "travelling tornadoes",
tearing up the environment everywhere they go, and
leaving a trail of tragedy behind them. They are amoral
total takers whose motto is, "If I can get away with it,
why not?". "Besides, those assholes got it coming to them
after all they did to me and mine!". They operate like a
lawless version of the "Tasmanian devil" cartoon
character, buzz-saw-eating their way through everything
they encounter.

-
The Model Child Abnormal
Personality
When you think of the traditional oriental person,
particularly the female, you have a good idea of who the
"model child" is. They are extremely inhibited, retiring,
self-effacing and eager to please, but you might as well
piss in the wind rather than to try to get them to share
themselves or to express a preference. They are the
"quiet ones", the ones who silently labor their way to
accomplishments in the background.
http://dbs2000ad.com/narayan/model-child-personality.htm
-
The Mom Addict Abnormal
Personality
Picture, if you will, the scene of a Nazi concentration
camp where a child is yanked from the arms of his/her
mother and is carried off screaming while the even more
distraught mother is held back by guards. This is the
intensity of passion and reaction to separation that
exists in the 'mom-addict'.

The Peck's Bad Boy/Girl Abnormal
Personality
Have ever known someone who somehow always ended up on
the shitty end of the stick, no matter what? If so, you
have known a 'Peck's Bad Boy/Girl' ('PBB/G'). They live a
misery-seeking life-style of slowly self-destructive
dissipation and pseudo-joy ride self-distraction on the
way down the shit-chute to oblivion. They spin their
wheels with self-deluding and living-in-the-instant
activities, events, and pseudo-emotions to avoid like the
plague any responsibility or reality. They are totally
denial-dominated and unreal in all they do. It is also
the basis of the addictive and alcoholic systems.

The Perennial Child Abnormal
Personality
We are being inundated with a group of charming,
conning, conniving cop-out artists who are dedicated to
the notion that they won't grow up. These are the
'Perennial Children', the 'Peter Pans' and 'Peter
Panellas' of the world. It is a 'transition culture'
phenomenon leading us from the authoritarian paranoid
patriarchy into the community-committed caring process.
We had to go through the 'bend over backwards' opposite
of the 'Old World' before we could move on to the 'New
World'. And these childish 'have your cake and eat it
too' - 'Go for it!' types were the out-route.

-
The Queen of Hearts Abnormal
Personality
They are instantly noticeable, these gorgeous creatures
from hell. They are a super-bod or super-stud who is
surrounded by admiring and endangered members of the
other gender and of their gender who are vulnerable to
their wiles. They are a definite 'Look but don't touch!'
type of situation, as they are masterful 'Buzz off,
Buster!' and 'Who let you in?' seducer-reducers to
tears.
http://dbs2000ad.com/narayan/queen-of-hearts-personality.htm
-
The Rebellious Child Abnormal
Personality
DON'T FENCE ME IN!!!' That response indicates an intense
'rebellious child' having a major freak-out in reaction
to what they experience as an attempt to tie them down
like Gulliver in Lilliput. They in no way want to be
pinned down on anything, and they react instantly to
anything that even hints at control efforts or
restrictions of their total 'freedom'.
http://dbs2000ad.com/narayan/rebellious-child-personality.htm
-
The Red Riding Hood Abnormal
Personality
At the risk of mixing metaphors, I'd like you to
remember 'Sleeping Beauty'. She was in a state of total
vulnerability and helplessness while in a completely
passive state waiting for 'Prince Charming' to come and
rescue her from her deep sleep so she could finally
commence her life. She was and felt completely unable to
do anything to bring about her own rescue or to make any
kind of impact on the environment, and it was her very
state of passive helplessness that was expected to bring
about her rescue.

The Smiling Jackie Abnormal
Personality
Do you see that laughing man over there, seeming to be
having the time of his life? Do you notice after a bit
that something begins to grate about it? It's rather like

The Urban Hermit Abnormal
Personality
Give me space and get out of my face!'. That's the motto
of a very common creature nowadays - 'Urban Hermit'. They
don't want to be bothered or with other people needs and
self-manifestations. them, it feels like are being
invaded. though some them work hard at coming across as
bristling porcupine, reality is in effect 'rejecting
first any more pain from other people...

-
The Ugly Duckling Abnormal
Personality
You can always spot them — they're the one at the
gathering around whom there is a large space. They are a
vaguely discomforting or perhaps even a deeply disturbing
experience for most people to be around. But the problem
isn't "B.O.", it's the "germ that caught penicillin"
reaction. For they are people who have a handle on the
Truth to a degree that is quite alarming to others. They
are the "ahead of their times" guys and gals. These are
the "ugly ducklings".

The Will o' the Wisp
Personality
Do you see that absolutely gorgeous creature over there
with half the room surrounding them in awe-struck
admiration? That is the local "Will-O'-the-Wisp" (WOW)
charming the pants off of everyone while delivering
almost nothing. They are the original "dance-away lover",
the "Lucy with the football". They are expert
"hope-hookers" who specialize in breaking hearts and
milking situations, the original "Heartbreak Hotel". They
are masterful at generating a "magnificent obsession"
towards themselves and they are incredible at the
elicitation of longing with their "haunting
capabilities". The whole thing is built on a delightful
childlike innocence, ingenuousness and charm.

The Yuk-Artist Abnormal
Personality
Meet 'Quasimoto' - the 'Hunchback of Notre Dame', the
'yuk-artist' who is a past master at eliciting an
'E-e-e-i-uck!!!' reaction wherever they go. They are the
original 'funny looking kid' and 'weirdo' who has an
absolute knack for revolting everyone they encounter. And
to make matters worse, they seem to be programmed to do
the 'Humpty Dumpty' thing of deflecting all efforts by
all the King's horses and all the King's men to put them
back together again.
