Quote from TROM book:
People do tend - repeat *tend* - to become more or less fixed in one or other of the legs of the basic game, and take on the personality characteristics of the postulate they are dramatizing. Viz: *Def. Viz : "namely", "that is to say", and "as follows".* Evaluate yourself, the people you know in person, in your life and in public, including the media and categorize them according to the TROM descriptions: *Must be known.* Outflowing. Extrovert. Persuasive. Creative. Often prone to jealousy. Overts by infliction, and very upset by rejection. He got into this leg by being overwhelmed by a Must Be Known, whose valence he now occupies. *Mustn’t be known*. Restrained outflow. Retiring. Devious. Secretive. Obsessed by ‘privacy’. Tends to collect mass and wealth by the simple expedient of not being able to outflow it. Overts by deprivation, and very worried by the thought of their secret wheeler-dealings being revealed. He got into this leg by being overwhelmed by a Mustn’t know while being in the Must be known leg; he now dramatizes the Mustn’t be known PD postulate of his overwhelmer. *Must know.* Inflow. Nosey. Curious. Inclined to he highly sensual. Demands open comm lines. Hates secrets, and loves exposing them. Good solver of puzzles. Overts by revelation, and just hates being deprived of things. He got into this leg by being overwhelmed by a Must know, whose valence he now occupies. *Mustn’t know.* Restrained inflow. Rejection. Compulsively makes nothing out of things. Destructive. Overts by rejection, and dreads having anything inflicted upon him. Contrary to popular opinion he did not get this way by having things forced upon him. He got into this leg by being overwhelmed by a Mustn’t be known while being in the Must know leg; he now dramatizes the Mustn’t know PD postulate of his overwhelmer. He’s been overwhelmed by deprivation.
