The Sentinel of the Sacred Boundary.
Repulsion of Self from Debasement
Aversive Reactivity
Essence: acute discriminative sensitivity to quality, purity, and trespass, serving the integrity and dignity of the self.
Physical, social, and hierarchical surroundings are continuously held to a high internal standard, with quality and status treated as needs in their own right. Impurity, disrespect, or a loss of status registers at once and is answered openly, and the response lasts until the balance is restored.
Manifests as fastidious, discerning, and reactive behavior.
Nonacceptance sharp sensitivity to anything intrusive, impure, or wrong
Vertical Collectivism a sense of rank and quality that separates higher from lower
Extraversion displeasure voiced at once and outwardly
Cognitive Level: quality/purity discrimination, status-violation detection
Social Level: status-conscious presentation, retaliatory boundary-defense
Psychological Level: low irritation threshold, disgust and comparative-shame susceptibility
Biological Level: heightened sensory reactivity, strong aversions and cravings
Suppressed: poor boundary sense, low standards.
Healthy: discerning quality sense, self-respect.
Strained: chronic irritability, hostile overreaction to slights.
Extreme manifestations: contamination obsession, explosive rage and lasting grudges, status envy, sensory intolerance.

Keeps the harsh out and the agreeable in.
Coarseness and harshness are avoided in favor of what is gentle and pleasant, the good in things is spoken of first, and esteem rests on others' approval.
Answers every departure from how things should be.
Everything is held to an exacting standard, slights and lapses are felt at once and answered, and trust is slow to come.
Keeps gauging where one stands.
One's position among others is checked again and again, and the smallest shift in it is noticed at once.
Shuts out the unpleasant instead of answering it.
Whatever is harsh or confining is avoided, a formal distance is kept, and the unwanted is declined quietly, without argument.
