What does the Dramatic Level evaluate?
Human beings are the species with the greatest capacity to analyze the environment subjectively. They can observe data, suppose projections, and reach conclusions using data that are not available, but are based on assumptions.
These cognitive phenomena allow us to associate a cloud with an animal, or even see meaning in a face we receive by message—being a yellow circle with a stroke and two dots—that only we Homo sapiens are capable of recognizing as a smile.
We are also capable of creating subjective social conventions that impose impractical and even inconvenient rules for our well-being, but which are still practiced with great conviction due to the interpretation we give them.
An analysis of the dramatic state of consciousness studies the behavioral variation of a human who oscillates between a greater tendency toward pragmatism and extreme attachment to facts, inclined to prematurely invalidate unknown scenarios, or at the other extreme, reaching greater tendency toward fanciful interpretations, willing to suppose conclusive conclusions from unknown information, constructing scenarios far removed from reality.

Detailed profile:
With a high level of presence in the Dramatic Stage, {{nome}} tends to develop personal views and individual compositions of the reality they live in, offering themselves a version of events that contains a significant amount of gap fillings, that is, the use of personal assumptions to complement information that cannot be unequivocally confirmed during the observation of the actual event.
From the perspective developed in this profile, events tend to receive a disproportionate interpretation in relation to what they actually possess. In the case of {{nome}}, this leads to a greater dimensioning of their true nature, amplifying harsh criticisms of what displeases or an exaggerated praise for the potential benefits of parts of something they approve of, even if the information generating these criticisms or compliments has not been thoroughly examined through direct questioning or careful analysis of the facts.
A sense of responsibility, which often becomes distorted, leads {{nome}} to feel in a position of moral superiority, believing they have the power to evaluate, based on their own beliefs, the proper behavior for others. In this context, they may mistakenly assume the role of ensuring others behave as they believe they should. This attempt to direct behaviors outside their competence can cause {{nome}} to experience constant discomfort and exceed limits of what is their responsibility, sometimes leading to a certain level of suffering for being unable to change specific behaviors of others whom they believe they are responsible for, emotionally or morally.
An excessive level of personal involvement attributed to what happens, as if their personal engagement were central to the development of the behaviors they observe, or even an egocentric view that external behaviors depend on their approval, may often encourage the creation of an also disproportionate sense of responsibility, leading {{nome}} to believe they have the right to intervene or play a decisive role in matters that are, in practice, not within their true competence, such as trying to induce changes in the personality or actions of others.
This heightened sense of responsibility, when coupled with the perception of incapacity to induce desired changes in others’ behavior, may lead to uncomfortable persistence for both parties, making the efforts required for such changes increasingly intense, unwanted, and uncomfortable.
Some problems, even if not their responsibility, may be assumed by {{nome}}, who, in their pursuit of demonstrating their worth, tends to take on tasks that do not concern them, using great challenges undertaken as a justification for larger efforts and sacrifices aimed at constructing their heroic deeds.
A common search for recognition in the current profile of {{nome}} makes significant feats necessary to build a value commensurate with such merit. To achieve this, they may often attempt to demonstrate superiority in their conduct or actions, trying to draw attention and ensure that everyone knows the value of their achievements and contributions. {{nome}} works hard to develop a good job and may become frustrated when their effort is not socially recognized.
This same search for great feats, which typically aims at gaining recognition, can create the feeling of a duty to protect the “weaker” or “oppressed” from the problems they face, thereby taking on their pain and defending those they assess as “unable to do it alone.” {{nome}} may even feel ashamed when someone they believe to be under their care does something outside of their definitions, as if the action had been done by themself.
When they do not achieve the desired level of recognition, {{nome}} may feel disrespected. This disrespect is often accompanied by the much-dreaded feeling of devaluation, which frequently culminates in a strong sense of indignation or frustration, triggering a defensive or attacking mode that points to the error for the lack of recognition or discredits the conduct of the interlocutor.
An interpretation with personal biases and a narrative of existing facts may be intentionally directed by {{nome}}, even if unconsciously, to result in a preconceived conclusion that supports a point they wanted to prove, even if there are significant inaccuracies both in the context and the outcome of such interpretations. This does not necessarily indicate an intentional lie, as it is often a predisposed interpretation leading to a less precise, but desired, result, which may appear coherent under a selective, and perhaps hasty, perspective of the one telling it. Excluding cases proven as intentional or malicious, a person in this condition does not consciously wish to cause harm, but rather has a less analytical profile and wants to prove their point so much that they are willing to stop an analysis at an incomplete stage if the trends already suggest the outcome they defend.
A high level of gap filling and a sometimes subjective perception of {{nome}} may lead to the development of a sense of owing debts to people or situations. They may believe they owe something to someone, as if they will not deserve all they have been given unless they deliver grand results. Creating exhausting scenarios for oneself in an attempt to generate great outcomes may be a way of compensating for this debt, sometimes unconsciously transferring this compensation to the people they interact with, exceeding their responsibilities in an effort to overly care for the people around them.
Contrary to the previous point, {{nome}} may develop the false impression that someone or some phase of life owes them something, as if the opportunities or affection they deserve were not offered by the world or by someone in particular. In this case, the level of pressure toward environments may become high, expecting external conditions to generate compensation, often unconsciously transferring this pressure onto the people they relate to.
A significant focus on the past and a stronger attachment to investments already made can limit {{nome}}’s ability to turn the page and move in new directions when they realize a personal or professional project’s inefficiency.
