sasy and superfluous material, but he may not discera the vital podato

proporly to their larger aspects within his familiar framo of referenco.

Ho combinos a certain amount of imagination with sober-mindednosa

and matter-of-factness. He tries to expedito his work, but ho la not

Ilkoly to sacrifice accuracy to expedioncy: His critical faculties aro

well doveloped and ho evaluates by rather set atandarde. Also, ho

do not likely to voice his criticiam openly as ho tende to avoid open

controversles. Within the area of his knowledge and experienco, ho

can exorcise initiative and deal with the overall pisture of a projaçt.

prescribed rules and regulations and be. will take care that people who

work for him do the same. In the execution of his rasks, he is exact,

conscientious and reliable. • He is serious, methodical and systematic

in his approach. He can express himsell in an adequate form, verbally

as well as in writing. He is able to present his material in a conciso

and understandable manner. He is not likely to say one word more

than would be absolutely necessary, which is one of hin customary

precautions. He is a diligent worker who pursues his aims persist-

ently and who does n't rest until the last item of an assignment la

completed. Whon necessary, ho can mus ter a considerable amouat

of patience. His analysing and synthenizing facultios are not particu-

larly pronounced, but he has a way of figuring out the implicationa of

the things he seen and hears and usually he comes to the correct con-

clusions. Being rather unassuming ir his manners, people may, àt

times, underestimate his capabilities. He concentratos well on bis

work and at the same time, takes in everything that le going on

around him and that could be of special interest to him. His memory

functions precisely and he can reproduce easily remembered knowledgo

and information.

Emotionally, the mriter is predominantly an introverted type

who can join required extraverted profeasional and social activitios

without much emotional participation. With the ald of his strong

capacity for identification, he blends in with his environment and

avoids attracting spocial attention. While he is emotionally not very

maturo and individualized, he is fairly well equilibrated, composed

and poised. Ho has his feelings and impulses under the stricteat

rational control and he is not likely to be carried away by them. His

Ego-feelings are much stronger than most people who deal with him

would suspect.

He is rather confident of himgelf and inwardly may

over consider himself quite superior to others. Thore is almost

some impertinence in his inner attitude which helps him to assert

himself and make his claims known in various indirect ways. He is

not quite as harmless as he may appear and he knows exactly what he

Is aiter. He proceeds with great carefuinoss and procaution and he

in quito clever in anticipating possible dangers. His self-defensive and

solf-protective mechaniams are strongly developed and be is most

secretiva about his affairs. He is not likely to confide completely in

anybody. Unncticed, he idupa up a strung porsonal reserve preventing

othere from coming too close to him.

He is ego-contered and somewhat

solfish and ho will not lous sight of his personal advantage in whatevas

ho is doing. Ho has doveloped a colorleas and connistent facade which

may serve as a cover for various activities he wants to hido. Il he

considors it necessary, he can be quito versatile and be is able to

make quick changes and switches. In a closer relationehip, be can

be rather enigmatic and ho may surprise by unexpected actions and

reactions. He is guided by some ideological syarem (most likely of

collective nature) wich ita fundamental ethical principles which he

folloms meticulously on the nuriace, In reality, he uses a numbor of

camoullaging capacities (in a well-calculated and akillíul manner) for

professional and social purpores. He is emotionally so detached, that

1t la doubtful ll he has any deep-going allegiance. Suggestions in line

with his nell-centered interesta could have a atrong appeal lor him

and possibly could altar his motivationa. At the same limo, he should

be very difficult to approach, especially, an he in somewhar unpredic-

tablo. He la emorionally rather serained, but he evidently has sufficiont

arrongth and erargy at present to support his goneral functioning

adaquarely. Ho possesses a racher strong willpowes and nufficient

pomer of resistance to witharand physical as woll as emotional pressure.

Ho apparently has steeled himsell in the courso of bin lifo, and he can

become quite numb when he wants to. He la a rathor peculiar person

who can to very pursling at times.

Summary:

The writer in a competent and meticulous worker in his pro-

fossional fleld. Babind a harmless front, he is an emotionally complex

and shrowd individual who could vezy woll be involved in some well.

covered-up activities which are not part of his overt lifo. He is not

consistent and reliable and one must be prepared for sudden changes iu

his reaction and action pattern.

Qualification:

This report must be evaluated as qualified information because

the handwriting standards submitted for analysis are not adequate.
