Note on the scale profiles: People with a very low score on this property (these are the Declatim SLE and LSI types, and even more so a mixed type between them) are usually capable, in the role of major leaders, of creating not merely an authoritarian regime of government, but one that is also replete with extremely unpleasant irritants for all subjects and subordinates, ultimately creating exceptional inconvenience and discomfort in life (both sensory and intuitive) for the majority.

This trait of Declatims specifically ignoring surrounding discomfort does not depend on intelligence; it is more correctly called an absence of taste for the harmony of the surroundings. This is a serious difference between LSI and SLE dictatorships and an EIE dictatorship, under which unpleasant irritants of this kind are minimized. And all this is not because of deliberate maliciousness on the part of LSI and SLE (they regard those who criticize them for this as malicious), but simply because of their selective blindness to such irritants. They sincerely do not notice this discomfort, do not regard it as anything significant, and do not understand how it affects other people. Thus, the regime built by Putin (a Declatim LSI with accents on SLE and ILI), precisely for this reason, finds many fierce opponents among people of the EIE psychotype, whose reaction to discomfort and bad taste is especially acute (note, also bearers of Beta values, and moreover duals of LSI!). It is true that ILI and LIE also poorly understand what a comfortable living environment is (Bill Gates with his Facebook will not let us lie), but still – they are not blind to the harmony and comfort of the nuances of life to such a pronounced degree as Beta Declatims.

=============== AS WE CAN ALREADY SEE, among the very different properties in which QUESTIMITY is involved, to a very large extent it is responsible for two things: preserving what one has, and perceiving discrepancies between what is received (including any incoming information) and the expected standard. Hence sensitivity to discomfort, sensitivity to auditory dissonances, and sensitivity to any negative discrepancies between the result and the prediction (that is, sensitivity to frustration - deprivation and losses).
