CHESS MODEL OF THE BIG FIVE PERSONALITY TRAITS in lieu of DSMV

Please comment, still work in progress on modeling current science in a more simple way:.

To my amazement I think I can actually model the Big Five personality traits & DSMV on a chessboard. Alas the photo is to large to upload yet a simple picture will follow when I get round to it.

A simple way of depicting current behavioral science annex a critique on that from a philosophical standpoint.

The picture will depict: take a normal size chessboard and take the pieces of a pocket-size chessboard . Place both the large and the small on the large board according to the rules of chess.

The basis idea it is all Yin and Yang tension in the system. Like the biceps and the triceps of an arm.

You get thus either large/small King and large/small Queen: biceps-biceps ; triceps-triceps; triceps-biceps; biceps-triceps per chess board square containing thus then a large and a small identical chesspeice.

Place a white marker under either the large or small piece in each respective field on the board. I.e. either the large white KING or the small white king on the black square gets the marker placed under it. The same goes for each field on the board always then containing a piece having a small and a large one of the same type.

It is probable (or else nurture very early on) that at first in the choice of king and queen probably at birth has been taken, and this also has thus a slight preference as to the rest of the pieces. In the years up to the age usually of 24 years the personality is formed by interaction with other brains and the environment. Yet here you should see your self in an unsafe king environment as opposed to the safe environment. You can be a large ROOK in the unsafe yet a small rook in a safe environment.

So the king side is the unsafe side and the queen side the safe side of your personality.

Mind "safe"and unsafe are strange: it is always to be taken on the yet to follow goal of the brain, that is provided by the personality. For instance for a as yet to follow humble authority driven brain it is more unsafe not to walk with your pals towards a machine-gun that cuts you down than to run away. read the history of the pals battalions at the battle of the Somme as a historic example.

The pawns show the will power to turn the board and play the black pieces: i.e. the ability to act as someone else. More on this is to follow.

The model does not depict the memory yet does depict speed of brain represented by the clock. Also four possibilities 10% slow-slow; 40% slow- fast; 40% fast-slow (= faster); 10% fast-fast.

I assume the same sort of division can be made for the size of the memory. 10% quick forget (= also sometimes good!) 40% below par and 40% above par and 10% photographic memory. In effect a normal distribution.

It works as follows: large pieces is ego or self trait opposite and small is group or social trait side. (Many small is herd to counter the predator Ego) Yet mind we are all all traits more or less and all unique in view of the many possible settings.

EGO right-wing politics 80% male <--> Social left wing politics 80% female

Openness BISHOP (independent lateral thought good on goal) <---------------> Narrow-minded bishop (herd mid = bad then) UNSAFE King-side

Narrow-minded BISHOP (independent lateral thought bad on goal) <--------------> Open-minded bishop (irony = lie to keep it together) SAFE Queen-side

Unfriendly KNIGHT <-----------------> Friendly knight

Introvert ROOK <----------------> Extrovert rook

Internal will PAWN <-----------------> External will pawn

For starters we now have thousands of combinations.

Yet but a few major starters: if you are all ego then you are what pre DSMV would (incorrectly BTW) call a psychopath: in this model you are a fearless person. Who thinks himself God because there is no feeling available in order to guess what will happen when coming across a never observed animal say a bear. There is no imagination available that it could possibly be dangerous. God versus bear leaves the poor beast chance-less. When the bear is only a bit peckish and only rips the arm off the poor bugger then he will have only rationally learnt that bears might be dangerous. Had he not tripped in his mind then it would have been alright. So second time round still fearless he gets his other arm ripped off. These people are great aids when trying as cavemen to get a bear out of his jacket in order to get warm clothes when a new ice age comes and the environment changes.

Yet not a good idea as we are doing now having them the CEO because they sink the ship for you and shortly after having well lined their narcissistic / egocentric pockets will leave the sinking ship. They are alas also MN executioners. So beware. Shock and awe tactics don’t work for these 1% of the populace. Yet as authority (= CEO) steer the authority minded.

If you are born a Large KING you are 80% shore a male. Usually the rest of the settings will thus go to the ego side. However you are at the same-time also preset either small or big queen. If you are a small queen in the nurture that ensues you are also prone to the small social side. This explains why you can have a female brain in a male body to a certain degree, thus being normal. only becoming ab normal when the society doesn't in effect accept that.

You thus have four (including the psychopath gorilla five) basic types in DSM6: everyone mad except < 1%: The four communication styles BTW accompany the preferred styles.

The right-wing lateral humor chimpanzee the joker and fighter 9% logic / fear on stated goal

The left-wing irony humor bonobo the Napoleon leader actor / salesperson flirt-er 10% logic/fear on relation

The religious conscientious (= will power PAWN) Bokitio (gorilla) authoritative leader 10% logic/ fear loss of authority

The religious conscientious (= low on ego) humble baboon authority minded 70% of the populace.

Now you can thus be a chimpanzee in an unsafe situation yet having a well fitting bonobo suit in the safe side.

Only under great stress can you see what you yourself are in fact deed down. Yet this can be tested or better said also assessed.

The will power makes it possible to play the other side. If you are pawn- pawn you need social pressure to do this. If you are PAWN –PAWN you have a great personal will power and do not need social pressure to do things that you don’t like. Will power is like that the board is on a turning table with either a strong spring small pawn or ( edit) SMALL spring large PAWN. Willpower is like a muscle it gets tired. => You can’t play something you are not for very long. Actors of course are better at that than non actors. Hence most actors have ego = small spring less muscle required to play to be something you are not.

Einstein was probably a fast –fast brain and non ironic yet lateral humour albeit he also had the social trait of friendliness. So immediately when you detect ironic humor you know even given a fast-fast brain it is not an Einstein because the other program takes up to much memory space. Like in a computer.

And alertness then of the Big Five? Fighter (ego) traits come into play at a higher stress level (the fearless the highest of course) than flirter trait and that comes at a higher stress-optimum than freezers. The more ego the less scared because they simply don’t have the imagination to compute what could go wrong. So to stand guard you best have a freezer. Mind if the stress level rises too quickly you go over the optimum and become panicked. Even further you freeze up completely and can’t even flee in panic let alone withdraw.

Churchill was in this model a baboon chimpanzee so a sociable in the end fighter. When these are at wits end and start crying as Churchill did hearing that El Alamein was lost then the end is neigh.

So a freezer awaits orders at an optimum or just past that optimum, from the ones who do still have at least an idea of what to do. => better chance for survival of the group.

A humble freezer can't make up their mind and an authoritative leader can yet both limit the correctness of the guess to within the current paradigm => confirmation bias (Kuhn dixit).

The fighters are the good creative broadband guessers giving even under great stress a probable creative solution, yet only when balanced by a conscientious Alan Brook Bokito type who doesn't understand him and of course a friendly wife. With Churchill you measure lateral humor combined with ironic humor.

The chessboard BTW has a strong DNA touch to it, that religious people don’t like. BTW religious belief in authority doesn't necessarily also mean belief in God. Or the same authority.

There are thus four forms of culturally independent humour : lateral humour - ironic humour the combibation of the two and humourless on both. See my other post.

the forms of humour have nothing to do with culture: out of the paradigm on goal orientated logic is in all cultures perceived as funny. What specifically is out of the box or paradigm is of course culturally dependent.

Openness is thus possible on lateral thought =/= per se funny for it is a survival trait) Dolphins and other predators are playful fighters that easily like humans for that very reason.

Openness is also possible on being able to communicate and relate to all types of human, that requires the trait to act or lie = ironic. Saying one yet meaning the other. Survival trait lure in the prey come in here to mate and get pounced. Nothing to do with culture. BTW the western Germanic tribes have the norm (with exceptions BTW) of telling the truth contrary to most other cultures tell what is expected and don't cause the other lose of face.

And yes you can detect these traits......if you have them of course otherwise not. Checklists (IQ tests, DSM V tests etc.) are of dubious value.

I see rereading the post that I made a mistake in describing the picture accurately enough. The photo would have been helpful. It is of course always the two safe and unsafe sides of the say Rook left and right of the king and queen that constitute the LARGE-LARGE ; LARGE-small; small-LARGE; small-small possible combinations.

 

Another thing worth mentioning is that once the King Queen combination is set, it I guess limits the bandwidth of possible befitting other combinations. This in the sense that if you start changing the further settings later in life say at the age of 12 you run the great risk that the settings are out of sync. A bit like putting petrol in a diesel engine. It is possible but you need to adjust and fine-tune a lot more and it won't run as good as simply accepting that a diesel is a diesel and requires diesel and not petrol.

 

If you for instance pester someone the instrument between the ears gets some damage. A bit of damage can be handled and should be deemed normal. Pestering to long can cause serious and even permanent damage. Saying to our young Einsteins that they are deficient and require Ritalin is in effect damaging this highly sensitive instrument between the ears. It is like putting petrol in a diesel or vice versa. And it is not just this Einstein kid that has a problem. We all do for we need these Einsteins undamaged to help us survive later on and reach our stated goals in life as human society. You can in one school system in effect correctly educate all basic five personality types per speed of brain group and even all speed of brain groups together now we have computers. The only thing you have to do is split in correct age / development groups Easy yet taboo and thus extremely difficult. Forget classrooms with one teacher. Team the teachers up correctly. For instance one of the problems with one teacher is that if he isn't a Bokito, or can't play a good Bokito, he / she can't keep the order for when a kid Bokito wants to challenge and become the leader he/ she will do so by singe-ling the odd one out, usually the Einstein and pester him. Yet if he/ she even senses Bokito is present they won't even try. Einstein is then safe. What we try and do is have teachers try and keep the order who simply can't perform that task even when having followed all sorts of training-programs. Consequence Einstein kid cum suis gets pestered.

 

I wasn't pestered at school yet saw this happen to a later good friend of mine and even then wondered at what it was that was happening. In one class no problem next class he got pestered. And nearly every time a hit. And the class where he got pestered the teacher tried in vain all sorts of things to keep the order and the other teacher did nothing of the sort most of the times and no problem. Now i understand why.

 

The system between the ears is to a degree sociably self learning. if you put all types of kids together in a same infant class the will automatically acquire the social skills from each other to a high degree. All sorts of other requirements must of course be met in order to not damage the instruments between the ears. These requirements can differ.

 

In later life you might say DSM6 style we are all apes and we all require a degree of banana's. A banana being what we cherish in life: sex, money, authority, esteem, helping others (whether they want it or not), short term satisfaction and security et cetera. This to differing degrees between personality types yet nearly the same per typegroup. All want the same amount of bananas yet don't mind to trade more time off for less money et cetera. The technicalities and logistics to do that are seemingly simple to do yet the model also immediately shows that it is at the same time exceedingly difficult if the authoritative leaders don't agree. They hold the key to any majority even in a democracy.

Well, if you take outdated concepts, falsified theories, pop psychology terminology and place them in a blender that produces obscure metaphor, then I daresay one can think one has produced a model of human behaviour on a chessboard. I favour rigorous science, current thinking, robust questioning and a nice mix of precision and concision. But that's probably just my gay bishop feeling his oats.
