IntroductionPhase 4 feels settled in the group. Their position is fixed and stable. They often have a central position in the group and can also be the leader. This expresses itself as a kind of calmness, stability, slowness and quietness. They can be very expressive and loud but more often they are quietly taking their position. They don’t have to prove themselves. Things are obvious. So they feel they can express themselves fully with members of the group and can discuss everything.
Responsible loyalThey feel settled in the group and feel they are in the right position. They feel responsible for the group, for the maintenance of the system. They work a lot for the survival of the system. They are very loyal to the group.
RigidThe extreme can lead to a kind of rigidity. The rules of the group have to be followed and there are things that have to be done. They do that themselves but expect similar behaviour from the rest of the group. This can lead to a kind of domineering behaviour, in the extreme, even dictatorial.
Another aspect of their rigidity is that they suppress the negative sides, they sweep them under the carpet. Things are good, have to be good and when there are negative sides they behave as as if they do not exist. They can even totally forget them. So, when asked about problems, stresses or worries before the complaints started, they often say that there were no problems at all. The complaints just started out of nothing.
ShockThey are shocked when the system fails or gets destroyed. They feel shocked when the rules are not obeyed or when members of the group are betraying or do things to the disadvantage of the group. That kind of behaviour is unthinkable for them, they cannot imagine people doing that. In extreme cases they can become quite aggressive about such behaviour. It is the sudden, unexpected and unforeseen aspect of events that bring them into shock.
CenterThey feel stable in the group. They feel central and it is perfect the way they are in the group. They are the ones that keep the group stable and take the responsibility for it. They have a tendency to take much space. Sometimes they take too much space, so that there is too little left for the others.
PersonsThey feel very close and loyal to persons around, like parents. They feel they can discuss everything with them, because they feel fully accepted. But that can happen because they have suppressed what is not fully accepted, in order to feel good fully. Out of loyalty one suppress what does not fit in.
