Signs of a mature personality according to A.Maslow

Another translation of a text, another list. This one is more pleasant and I hope you'll find quite a bit of yourself in it, enjoy :)

1. A more adequate perception of reality, free from the influence of current needs, stereotypes, prejudices; interest in the unknown.

2. Acceptance of oneself and others as they are, the absence of artificial, predatory forms of behavior and rejection of such behavior on the part of others.

3. Spontaneity of manifestations, simplicity and naturalness. Compliance with established rituals, traditions and ceremonies, but an attitude towards them with a proper sense of humor. This is not automatic, but conscious conformism at the level of external behavior.

4. Business orientation. Such people are usually not busy with themselves, but with their life's task. Usually they correlate their activities with universal values ​​and tend to consider it from the point of view of eternity, and not the current moment. Therefore, they are all philosophers to some extent.

5. A position of detachment in relation to many events. This helps them to endure troubles relatively calmly and be less susceptible to external influences. They are often prone to loneliness.

6. Autonomy and independence from the environment; resistance under the influence of frustrating factors.

7. Freshness of perception: finding something new every time in the already known.

8. Extreme experiences, characterized by a feeling of the disappearance of one's own Self.

9. A sense of community with humanity as a whole.

10. Friendship with other self-actualizing people: a narrow circle of people with whom the relationships are very deep. No manifestations of hostility in interpersonal interactions.

11. Democratic in relationships. Willingness to learn from others.

12. Stable internal moral standards. They have a keen sense of good and evil: they are focused on goals, and the means are always subordinate to them.

13. A "philosophical" sense of humor. A humorous attitude towards life in general and towards oneself, but one's shortcomings or misfortunes are never considered funny.

14. Creativity that does not depend on what a person does and is evident in all of their actions.

15. A critical attitude towards the culture to which they belong: the good is chosen and the bad is rejected. They feel more like representatives of humanity as a whole than of one culture.
