Rigidity or stagnation of personality.

Rigidity is the opposite quality of flexibility. People endowed with this quality beyond measure have great difficulty changing their point of view and adapt poorly to external changes.

There are three types of rigidity:

⚫️Cognitive
A person with this type of rigidity cannot change his ideas about the environment. For such people, a discussion is tantamount to proving one’s own rightness until the rest of the participants agree or shoot themselves.

⚫️Affective
A person with this type of rigidity becomes emotionally “stuck” for a long time on certain objects and situations, and the emotional response does not always correspond to the real event.

⚫️Motivational
It is difficult for a person with this type of rigidity to rebuild his motivation system when the situation requires it.
