Redirecting from another thread. Connection between contemporary Psychology and I Ching

[Mustafa]

I will translate this article briefly from Norwgian and would be happy for hearing about what you think.

American Robert Clonninger defined 3 temperaments (before there was 4, and in my understanding it had been long four, known as Sanguine, Choleric etc.)

1. harm avoidance, HA
2. reward dependence, RD
3. novelty seeking, NS

The connection between Clonningers temperaments and personality disorders

I think these 8 personality "disorders" and they are disorders actually equal the 8 trigrams. Furthermore there are 3 coloumns with arrows, i think arrow down is Yang and arrow up is Yin. So if in a certian disorder there are 3 arrows down, that's Qian. Here it is Shizoid. Cyklotym is Li. Kun is 3 arrows up, AKA passive-agressive.

This is very interesting. What do you think?

Edit: Eksplosiv (explosive) which is Kafir (disbeliever) from Cover is Kan, opposite of Li/Cyklotym.
