Group Description
They are acutely sensitive to the quality and status of what they allow into their personal sphere - people, environments, objects, and social circles alike. A strong self-preservation instinct expresses itself as heightened disgust sensitivity, careful management of physical and social boundaries, and pronounced attention to prestige and appearance. They tend to evaluate themselves and others by the social strata they inhabit and the standards maintained there, with status anxiety and a need for approval from their reference group functioning as central motivational forces.
