Hevitra ato Anatiny
To answer the question «Who am I?» we often resort to tests and typologies. This approach implies that our personality is unchanging and molded into a certain form. Psychologist Brian Little thinks otherwise: in addition to the solid biological “core”, we also have more mobile layers. Working with them is the key to success.
Growing up, we get to know the world and try to understand how we can exist in it — what to do, whom to love, with whom to make friends. We try to recognize ourselves in literary and film characters, to follow the example of famous people. Personality typologies created by psychologists and sociologists tend to make our task easier: if each of us belongs to one of the sixteen types, it remains only to find ourselves and follow the “instructions”.
Inona no dikan'ny hoe tena?
Araka ny voalazan'i Brian Little, psikology, io fomba io dia tsy miraharaha ny dinamika manokana. Mandritra ny fiainana dia miaina krizy isika, mianatra mandresy ny fahasarotana sy ny fatiantoka, manova ny fironana sy ny laharam-pahamehana. Rehefa zatra mampifandray ny toe-javatra rehetra eo amin'ny fiainana amin'ny fomba fitondran-tena iray isika, dia mety ho very ny fahafahantsika mamaha olana amin'ny famoronana ary lasa andevozin'ny andraikitra iray.
Fa raha afaka miova isika dia hatraiza? Brian Little dia manolotra ny hijery ny maha-olona ho toy ny fanorenana maro sosona, voalamina araka ny fitsipika "matryoshka".
Ny sosona voalohany, lalina ary kely indrindra amin'ny finday dia biogenic. This is our genetic framework, to which everything else is tuned. Let’s say if our brain is poorly receptive to dopamine, we need more stimulation. Hence — restlessness, thirst for novelty and risk.
Mandritra ny fiainana dia miaina krizy isika, mianatra mandresy ny fahasarotana sy ny fatiantoka, manova ny fironana sy ny laharam-pahamehana.
Ny sosona manaraka dia sociogenic. Ny kolontsaina sy ny fitaizana no mandrafitra azy. Samy manana ny heviny momba ny zavatra tiana sy azo ekena ary tsy azo ekena ny mpanaraka ny rafitra ara-pivavahana samihafa. Ny sosona sociogenic dia manampy antsika hivezivezy amin'ny tontolo mahazatra antsika, mamaky ireo famantarana ary manalavitra ny fahadisoana.
Ny fahatelo, sosona ivelany, Brian Little dia miantso ideogenic. It includes everything that makes us unique — those ideas, values and rules that we have consciously formulated for ourselves and which we adhere to in life.
Loharanom-panovàna
Ny fifandraisana eo amin'ireo sosona ireo dia tsy mirindra foana (ary tsy voatery). Amin'ny fampiharana dia mety hitarika fifanoherana anatiny izany. "Ny fironana biolojika ho an'ny fitarihana sy ny di-doha dia mety mifanohitra amin'ny toe-tsaina ara-tsosialy mifanaraka sy manaja ny anti-panahy", hoy i Brian Little.
Noho izany, angamba, ny ankamaroany ka manonofy afa-mandositra ny fianakaviana. dia fotoana nandrasana hatry ny ela mba hampifanaraka ny sociogenic superstructure amin'ny fototra biogenic, mba hahazoana fahamendrehana anaty. Ary eto no tonga manampy antsika ny famoronana "I".
We should not identify ourselves with any one personality trait, says the psychologist. If you use only one behavior matrix (for example, introverted) for all possible situations, you narrow your field of possibilities. Let’s say you can refuse public speaking because you think it’s «not your thing» and you’re better at quiet office work.
Ny toetrantsika dia azo ovaina
Mampiditra ny tontolon'ny ideogenika isika, dia mitodika amin'ny toetra manokana azo ovaina. Eny, raha introvert ianao, dia tsy azo inoana fa mitovy amin'ny cascade ny fanehoan-kevitra mitranga ao amin'ny atidohanao ho toy ny extrovert rehefa manapa-kevitra ny hanao olom-pantatra betsaka araka izay azo atao amin'ny fety ianao. Saingy mbola afaka manatratra io tanjona io ianao raha zava-dehibe aminao izany.
Mazava ho azy fa tokony handinika ny fetrantsika isika. Ny asa dia ny kajy ny herinao mba tsy ho diso lalana. Araka ny voalazan'i Brian Little, tena zava-dehibe ny manome fotoana hialana voly sy hamelombelona ny tenanao, indrindra rehefa manao zavatra tsy mahazatra anao ianao. Miaraka amin'ny fanampian'ny "fijanonana an-davaka" toy izany (mety ho jogging maraina mangina, mihaino hira tianao na miresaka amin'ny olon-tiana), dia manome ny tenantsika fiatoana sy manangana hery ho an'ny vaovao jerks.
Instead of adapting our desires to the rigid construction of our «type», we can look for resources for their realization in ourselves.
