How to use the Emotional Scale? Part 1. Definitions

Do you often, when communicating with this or that person, catch yourself thinking that you do not understand your interlocutor at all? Sometimes we perceive the irrational, illogical and unexpected actions of the people around us as a completely common occurrence. We try not to think about why this or that person behaves this way and not otherwise. When we do not understand some actions of a person, many of us attribute it to a bad character or a bad mood.

• Predicting people's behavior is a skill that almost every person living on our planet would like to have. Having this ability, you can understand whether you should trust a potential business partner, whether you need to start a serious relationship with an impressive man or attractive woman you like, whether you can count on the help and support of a friend in difficult times, etc.

• The ability to accurately predict the behavior of a person will help reduce the risk associated with relationships and interactions between people to an absolute minimum. But is it possible to acquire this ability?

• Learning to determine the emotional state of people and predict their behavior is not only possible, but necessary! This can be done using a special Hubbard emotional tone scale, which was developed by the American philosopher and writer Ronald Hubbard.

What is the Hubbard Emotional Tone Scale? How to learn to understand this method? In this article we will try to find the correct answers to these questions.

What is it and its history

The Hubbard scale is a powerful psychological tool that helps to correctly assess a person’s behavior and makes it possible to predict his actions.

This special method was developed in the 50s of the XX century. Ronald Hubbard. To systematize all human emotions and place them in precise order on a scale, Hubbard observed a lot of behavior around him and spent a lot of time conducting experiments.

When using this scale, you will be able to interact more effectively with others and understand the reason for their emotions and behavior.

Scientology in Russia

This science has not taken root in our country. The Russian Orthodox Church actively condemned it, demanding that the government ban the spread of Scientology sects. A loud scandal broke out when one of the former leaders of the Church of Scientology, Vladimir Ivanov, publicly spoke in the press, calling his fellow believers swindlers and swindlers. He exposed this organization as a purely commercial one, engaged in recruiting irresponsible citizens for the purpose of extorting money.

To follow or not to follow these methods is everyone’s personal choice. You don't have to be a member of the Church of Scientology to use its theories. The Hubbard Emotional Tone Scale is a fairly innocent teaching. And if it helps you establish contact with others, then why not use it?

Hubbard Detailed Emotional Tone Scale

The scale allows you to characterize a person’s state in a specific period of life, through the depiction of emotions on a scale from 0.1 to 4.0. It establishes 9 tones (0.1, 0.5, 1.1, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0) and provides characteristics for determining the level of responsibility, determination, restraint of a person, his attitude towards lies and aggression.

Emotional tone 4.0

Emotional tone 3.5 and 3.0

Emotional tone 2.5 and 2.0

Emotional tone 1.5 and 1.1

Emotional tone 0.5 and 0.1

Famous Scientology adherents

Despite the fact that Scientology is a fairly young science, it has become incredibly popular in our time. This is probably one of the most successful modern teachings that provides an alternative to traditional religions. Scientology methods are followed by many famous politicians, actors, musicians, athletes and other public figures. The leader of Scientologists among celebrities is, of course, Tom Cruise. Thanks to the fact that he praises this teaching at every convenient and inconvenient occasion, even those who don’t even watch Hollywood films began to know about it. He regularly participates in charity events, emphasizing that this is done in the name of good, as taught by the Scientology religion. In addition, he even opened several Scientology centers to spread this teaching as quickly as possible.

For John Travolta, in his own words, Scientology helped him cope with the loss of his mother, and since then he has also become an active follower of this movement. Together with his wife Kelly Preston, he can compete with even Tom Cruise in promoting Scientology.

Among other famous names you can also find Will Smith, Lisa Marie Presley, Kirstie Alley, Nicolas Cage, Elisabeth Moss, Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes. All of them are very successful and sought-after actors and musicians, which constitutes the best advertisement for Scientology.

Hubbard's Complete Emotional Tone Scale

As you can see, whose emotional tone is in low positions, they are apathetic, indifferent and always avoid communication. If you cannot find a common language and achieve mutual understanding with your interlocutor, then you most likely have too much difference in emotional tones. In this case, there can be no talk of any kind of friendship or cooperation. One will perceive arguments with enthusiasm, the other with complete apathy.

4.0 pent-up hostility - lack of empathy

Why dodge and fuss? A person in the absence of sympathy acts more simply: his motto is renunciation of emotions. He doesn't feel sorry for you, believe me. It seems as if he has forgotten what pity is, but he does not allow himself to be pitied. In this tone, you can meet a frigid woman who does not understand the meaning of love and intimacy, or a fatal beauty who accepts courtship and gifts lazily and does not give her feelings to anyone. Alas, she simply doesn’t have them.

To get rid of the pain that sincerity can give, Lack of Sympathy refuses to feel. While wanting to achieve his goals, a person in this tone denies himself open anger: without forgiving anyone, he does not believe that he himself can be forgiven for a sincere manifestation of emotions. It is much easier to extinguish anger in the name of an abstract, ambitious idea. Most often, Lack of Sympathy is ambitious and goes head-to-head towards its goal. But he has no one to share the joy of victory with. Lack of Sympathy does not want to share your sorrow or joy.

How to raise your emotional tone

“It is impossible to suddenly jump from the lowest tone to several tones higher. This journey will be gradual, so be patient."

If possible, travel, make new acquaintances and try to maintain conversation topics. Find a hobby that brings you pleasure, and later find like-minded people in this matter. Step by step, your emotional state will improve, and you will realize that life contains a lot of positive and bright things.

Part one.

Why do people get into trouble?

This is a book about people.

The purpose of this book is to introduce you to the basics of how to predict people's behavior and how to communicate effectively with them.

Information has value only when it is useful, and this statement applies to the data on which our decisions are based and from which we proceed in our actions - both in our personal lives and in our work relationships.

How often would you like to know exactly who you can trust, who you should hire, who you should work with, and who you should run from like the plague?!

Have you ever said: “Oh God, why did I trust him!” or: “I knew she was kind of weird.”

Maybe you never found out who was really to blame for the breakup of your relationship with someone, or whose fault the company went from bad to worse, despite all your efforts to save it from collapse.”

Choosing the right business partner or friend is not determined by luck or intuition. Of course, there is something in this, but you have probably seen for yourself that you cannot always rely on it.

When we are looking for people to come into our lives, very often we approach this question like this: this is the person I definitely do not want to see next to me, and usually this happens only after bitter experience, trial and error. errors, we are finally convinced of this.

Without a reliable method to determine who we should stay away from in business and personal life, and who, on the contrary, we need, we cannot feel confident enough. At times we cease to be acceptable to ourselves. One famous comedian once said: “I will never join a troupe that invites me to perform in it!”

How should we choose our friends? How do you determine who you can trust and who has it written on their forehead that they will betray you? And how, in the process of this selection, can one maintain humanity and a sense of justice and not be afraid of one’s own bias and prejudice?

In other words, how can we confidentially choose our co-workers, friends, lovers and know that our choice will be constructive, useful and CORRECT?

Another vital question is how should we behave in various emotional situations that are already an integral part of our lives? What if we are already married and our marriage has gone sour?

What if we've already hired someone who turns out to be a messenger from hell, or we're working for someone we'd rather fry in a frying pan ourselves?

What if our biggest customer is our constant headache, from which we find salvation only in our home medicine cabinet?

What about emotional conflicts between representatives of different groups, nationalities, cultures that threaten not only our security, but also society itself. Is it possible to solve this problem too? Perhaps you yourself know the answers to all these questions, but you just don’t realize it. If you sat down and wrote down all your observations of people over the years, and then organized them in a special way, you would be amazed at the accuracy of the conclusions you would come to.

For example, you've probably noticed that when someone is really angry at you, that person isn't particularly interested in what you have to say.

Or - you may have observed that in a conflict between two parties, a third party is always invisibly present.

And if you know people well enough, you have seen that people who criticize others always do something wrong themselves and hide it from others.

And so, observing all this, what did you do in order to solve the problems caused by these situations? How did you apply your knowledge? What have you done to end conflict, criticism, or to speak properly to an angry person?

We see a big gap between our observations and what needs to be done to turn them into action guidelines.

If we systematize our observations and put them into an easy-to-use form, we will have a wonderful tool with which we can solve a lot of problems. At a glance, we can determine who to hire and why. We will be able to confidentially resolve conflicts and restore damaged relationships.

Just as carpenters use their tools, we can use a targeted tool and a system of knowledge to create families, groups, nationalities and a world that we can be proud of.

Return to Wonderland

If our observations of people's behavior are not systematized, they will turn into random facts that have nothing in common with each other. They will be too bulky to use. And they will inevitably give way to popular opinions and theories that have no practical application or value and provide, at best, short-term relief.

We need to understand how to live in harmony with each other, how to communicate in the market, at home, how to behave when solving everyday problems. How can you get auto mechanics to work faster (and better!)? How to achieve coherence in team work? How can one effectively help a person recover from emotional shock and how can one lift a person up the tone scale—a person who is so accustomed to being at the bottom that he feels that being down is the same as living? How to maintain enthusiasm in a group? How, how, how..!

It has become difficult for us to understand each other due to the incredible amount of incorrect information with which they try to explain people's behavior. Psychiatrists have become a laughing stock, inventing more and more “mental illnesses” and adding them to the piles they have already piled up. The “therapies” they use exist in equally vast quantities. Their increasing numbers indicate a lack of fundamental understanding of what gives people the strength to live.

Programmed by the prohibitions of our culture, which relies on the similarity of individual thinking, we learn from an early age to comply with them, while the true value is the personal uniqueness of each person. We turn into an exact copy of the people around us, who represent a stable model of social behavior.

The recent surge of interest in so-called “subconscious recordings” suggests that we are either facing further programming, or we must counter existing programs with our own alternative programs. Otherwise, we will be destroyed by fantasies and “brain theories” that replace each other.

Obviously we don't need any further programming. We don't need stereotypes and "expert" opinions.

We need practical application of understanding.

When we understand something, we free ourselves from the need to rely on social “supports” and agree with the incomprehensible explanations that led Alice to believe in the intelligence of Wonderland.

This book presents a new and simple point of view of people who do not deprive themselves of the right to have their own individuality and do not harm it.

The information contained in this book dispels the idea of ​​the difficulty of teaching people and moves this problem into the plane of mastering accurate and practical knowledge.

This knowledge is not specific to any one culture, geographic location, or nation. They do not reflect either political or religious preferences. This knowledge provides the ability to understand, predict, evaluate and improve human behavior.

Emotions are the basis

Emotional state is a springboard to success. Emotional disorders are the root cause of organizational failure and family troubles.

Emotions need to be studied in practice, because it CAN be done. They do not exist in theory and do not depend on any hypothetical assumptions.

When someone is angry with you, it doesn't matter where you are at that moment - in Brazil, Sweden, Europe, Israel or the States. You know that this person is ready to tear you to pieces. You know this because the characteristics of anger are constant for everyone. In the same way, the characteristics of all other emotions DO NOT CHANGE and are common to all people, regardless of their culture, skin color, religion or political preference.

Therefore, emotions are the key to truly understanding and predicting human behavior.

Before Ron Hubbard completed his research, there was no systematic list of emotions, nor their characteristics. Now this work has been completed, and the reliability and reliability of the information contained in the works has been verified in practice.

The study of emotions requires the ability to observe. Practical conclusions are drawn from these observations. Based on the findings obtained, the right decisions are made, which determine our personal and professional relationships.

“Observation is not a passive activity. It is active and includes the fullest possible study of what we observe. You need to train yourself to react in the following way: if something is a secret to you, you don’t need to rack your brains over it. If something is a mystery or puzzling to you, or you can’t find a way out of the situation, it means you don’t have enough information and all you need to do is get it.”

The information that underlies the technical basis of our subject matter is the result of extensive observation and research. The examples and jokes contained will help you apply the acquired knowledge in practice. The final section of the book will challenge you to bring the information you've learned to life by applying it to your everyday life. This will show you its true value.

I hope that after reading this book, you will understand both yourself and the people around you much better.

I also dream that the knowledge you gain will become the spark that will encourage you to rediscover the wealth of the most valuable thing that you and I have: each other.

Application of the scale

To correctly determine your emotional tone, you need to carefully observe yourself: how you react to situations, how you relate to the world around you, what emotions your communication with people evokes, and much more. By correctly determining your emotional tone, you will be able to determine the tone of your interlocutors, which will help you find the right approach to everyone.

This skill is especially necessary in a career and when looking for a partner. The ability to find the right approach to others already promises success. The scale will help you control your emotions; it makes it clear what limits it is better not to go beyond, which will make you more aware.

If you are in the lowest positions on the scale, then this indicates the presence of psychosomatic diseases. These problems need to be worked through with a psychologist, psychiatrist or through therapy.

Since you are here...

...we have a small request. The Matrona portal is actively developing, our audience is growing, but we do not have enough funds for the editorial office. Many topics that we would like to raise and that are of interest to you, our readers, remain uncovered due to financial restrictions. Unlike many media outlets, we deliberately do not make a paid subscription, because we want our materials to be available to everyone.

But. Matrons are daily articles, columns and interviews, translations of the best English-language articles about family and upbringing, editors, hosting and servers. So you can understand why we are asking for your help.

For example, is 50 rubles a month a lot or a little? A cup of coffee? Not much for a family budget. For Matrons - a lot.

If everyone who reads Matrona supports us with 50 rubles a month, they will make a huge contribution to the development of the publication and the emergence of new relevant and interesting materials about the life of a woman in the modern world, family, raising children, creative self-realization and spiritual meanings.

The reason a person denies negative emotions is extremely simple. So why does a person deny negative emotions? Here's the explanation:

• They bring unpleasant sensations. This can be both physical and mental pain.
• Feedback is often instilled by adults. Limitations like “don’t be afraid,” “don’t get angry,” “don’t scream,” “don’t cry” are all denials of negative emotions.
• This category also includes tirades like “you’re a boy, if you cry, they’ll laugh”, “they hit you, but you bear with it - a man shouldn’t show his emotions” , “don’t behave aggressively - otherwise it might provoke someone and they’ll beat you.” " Thus, pain and negative emotions are closely related.

However, if prohibitions on expressing negative emotions come from childhood, then no one teaches a person to express positive emotions. He initially knows how to laugh until he drops at what is funny, rejoice at unexpected luck, experience euphoria from love, and much more.

But do all negative emotions need to be denied? After all, sometimes a person needs to “let off steam.” Otherwise, her emotional and physical condition will become even worse. It is for such moments that methods of psychological relaxation are practiced.
