ANALYSIS OF LETTER FROM
TY COBB
by PENELOPE BLANCHARD
At
the time Penelope Blanchard did her analysis, the writer was
anonymous. (I covered up the words at the top of the letterhead.)
This
writer has broken away from the need of emotional security and
dependency on a home base, as well as any attachment to his
Early
beginnings.
He
displays cultural good taste and has a certain reserve with
others. However he prefers to be the loner, the isolationist
who views the rest of the world from a distance. This is his
protection, his social aloofness which maintains his control.
He may be academic, scientific or artistic and uses his isolation
to immerse himself in his work.
He
is most assuredly reserved and is one who is not interested
in exposing his feelings to a wide audience. He may be a worker
who has high concentrative abilities. He can stick to a tedious
job for long periods without becoming tired or bored. He is
probably also modest and unassuming. He is a practical and realistic
thinker, however he has a certain resistance to new ideas or
is a bit narrowminded in his views.
It is entirely possible that the subject suffered isolation
from the Father for one reason or another. He withdraws and
seeks distance from
authority, but is rather submissive and suffers quite a measure
of feelings of inferiority.
He
has a normal desire for good food, love of material possessions
and physical comforts.
Others
may find him rather slow to start a project, but his initial
self-trust steadily gains courage. He fights against being pessimistic
all the time. He is also has an excellent memory. He shows the
connotation of a strong visual quality which is often seen in
painters, designers, photographers, and even graphologists.
He
may be fugal and can organize his time and energy. He may even
concentrate on withholding his personal resources of time, money,
and
energy until he is sure his efforts will be worth while, though
we are not talking stinginess here, just conservation of ones
time and personal
resources verses gain in business.
He
has a romantic willingness to reach out and touch someone. This
is usually the organized and clear thinking person, but he is
willing to be sidetracked by a pleasant personal contact.
He
shows an overabundance of emotional expression which may be
used in an artistic way. He may be overly sentimental and easily
moved under sudden stress, where control is difficult to maintain.
He
also seems to carry a lot of tension in his body. He is automatically
cautious and shy and he doesn't express his true feelings easily.
He may be resisting emotional expression in order to maintain
his own dignity and independence. By being a good listener he
can acceptably avoid discussing his own affairs and feelings.
He thinks for himself yet has social awareness and interacts
with other. He is analytical and apt to be impatient.
Trying
his best with a meager ego, to survive on his own authority
or nurturing abilities. He is a taker, not a giver and is cautious
and aloof.
With
his shy and self effacing personality he is quite modest and
most likely prefers solitude to the social scene.. He relies
mostly on his own self assurance and does not require bolstering
from others.
Again
he is very aware of social boundaries, has poise, order, control
and an aesthetic sense. He is internally inhibited and his power
is blocked from expression.
He
is responsive to color, light and sound in the environment,
which points to which indicates artistic of all kinds, as well
as individuals who are creative in their work. This individual
can not express his aggressive feelings in a social situation
and will behave with charm and sweetness even when he doesn't
like someone or something. It does against his grain to be offensive
and even a bitter enemy can get a warm greeting in public. It's
an indication often of a sly and cunningn nature - one who can
win without being temperamental. This type of writer is almost
always eccentric. If someone is going one way - he'll go the
other.
So it's really only in his desire to preserve social protocol
that this subject is a traditionalist. Privately he's a rebel.
He has a good memory, but does not absorb information quickly.
He's quite serious and usually needs a lot of time to make up
his mind. Once it's made up he'll stick with the decision, no
matter what!
The
ability to express emotional feelings has been stunted. ( when
things are repeated , but perhaps in a different way, it is
so that you can see that the tendency is reinforced by another
aspect of the writing sample.)
He
is analytical and logical. He doesn't just "believe"
he insists on the facts or proves things to himself before he
would accepts anything as a belief or a theory of his own. He
really enjoys figuring things out and can be an excellent strategist.
His determination to succeed and ability to work energetically
cannot be equaled, but the variety and complexity of human emotions
remain a baffling mystery to him.
There
is an indication that he can , at times have a bad disposition
and could have a violent tendency, though I have only seen this
once in this sample. If I were giving advice to someone concerning
this person, I would let them know that it is JUST something
only to be aware of and not a real outstanding proven fact.
It
is also interesting to note that he has manual dexterity, which
tells me that this person uses the right and left side of his
brain easily, another indication of some type of ability of
a creative nature.
He
does suffer from personal fears and experiences hopeless resignation
caused most likely by his own poor self talk and the inability
to share himself with others. He keeps his personal affairs
to himself and is reluctant and unwilling to share. He's quiet,
acts with pride and dignity and will not show hurt feelings,
ever. Though he is certainly capable of being hurt and may just
take that ball and run too far with it.
He
is most like known as a good listener, in this way he get away,
in an acceptable manner, with not having to share his own feelings
or problems. He is a rapid thinker and will also use humor and
sarcasm in an effort to keep up his public facade.
He
is also a literary lover and again spends a lot of time to himself
and studies many things for his own entertainment, thus he can
also speak on many different subjects that are NOT personal
or emotional.
Even
in his signature he expresses his thoughts but not his identity.
This can indicate secretiveness, creativeness, inwardly hateful
of himself or could have reduced his name to a hieroglyph like
a doctor or an Artist of some creative endeavor.
