The words "refined man" sound a little strange. They link together two different forms - a high degree of purity of the product and an extremely consistent personality in their addictions. Who is this refined representative of humanity? Let's figure it out together.
Multivalued concept
Refined person can be different. In the positive version, it is an exquisite and refined personality with a consciousness “purified” from any filth. For example, an educated individual is the quintessence of literacy, erudition and awareness in various scientific fields. These are sometimes called refined intellectuals. Ideally, they should also be impeccably polite. However, some of them confuse intelligence and education.
There is refinement in a negative sense. Then this person is completely negative. There are no positive qualities in it. There is only anger, ignorance and licentiousness.
Essence of the question
The concept of "refined man" did not appear immediately. Initially, a specific adjective was present in the everyday life of food industry workers, as well as professional chemists. It indicates a high degree of purity of the product. For example, refined sunflower oil is odorless. It is freed from all nutrients and is almost tasteless. In fact, it is suitable only for frying. Or, for example, purified rock salt contains only two components - chlorine and sodium. Both have toxic properties. Why are we talking about this now? Just refining, like any extreme, is of little use. And not only in the food industry.
So different extremes
Psychotypes of people are a great variety. Psychologist A.E. Lichko identified 13 varieties:
- paranoid;
- epileptoid;
- hyperthyme;
- hysteroid;
- schizoid;
- psychastenoid;
- sensitive;
- hypotym;
- conformal type;
- unstable type;
- asthenic;
- labile type;
- cycloid.
We will not dwell on the description of each of them. We will only say that they can all be presented in refined form. So, the paranoid in his extreme is a terrible egoist. He can sacrifice any principles to achieve the goal. Stalin, Lenin, Hitler - bright representatives of this psychotype. No one would want to cross such a refined person across the road.
In positive hyperthymus, life is in full swing. He is able to inspire a feat, but he himself cannot perform it. Especially if it is associated with tedious and monotonous work. This type in refined form is an absolute loafer. Nobody wants to deal with him, as this is a very unreliable partner.
A self-sufficient schizoid does not need a company. He loves to work alone, painstakingly hatches another idea, his social circle is limited. In its extreme, this is a very unpleasant person. Callous, cold, selfish, but capable of making sacrifices for the sake of all mankind.
So, in its “soft” form, any psychotype can be understood and accepted. But God forbid you meet a refined man! To communicate with him, you need to stock up on truly angelic patience.
