Social Dimension Surface Review

Tester plays role of assessor - social situation
Therefore a social milieu as opposed to an interpersonal one

Roles of assessor and assessee - social situation

Au retained PC - socially facile, reactive, pays attention to social cues
   Au like Ru dependent on social environment for cues for behavior to 
   exhibit.

Auu - low social anxiety. Comfortable with basic a. Potential great for using
   this for social exploitation. Au lacks ability to take course of action
   contrary to social cues. Can't pull back - only option is to manipulate
   environment.

   But don't become Auu unless environment has encouraged or allowed it.
   Or maybe other dimensions(e.g. Iuc ethical) reign in manipulation
      and exploitation.

Auc - more anxious. Social surface not shiny perfect all the time.
  A little more flexible in paying attention to other people's demand.
  A brake on manipulative potential - sometimes I can do what I want and not
  be socially dependent. 
  Achievement being important in our culture - likely better adjustment.

Ac - will not pay attention to social cues. Won't do what they want.
  I may do this to keep people away. 
  Or environment has said you have to earn your way.
  Makes a difference how it came about - look at E or I
    E - others said stop being so cute.

Acc - not so comfortable with the Ac. a° 
  Sometimes achievement oriented - sometimes more socially oriented
  look at strengths of factors 

Acu - lot of variability depending on why an Ac
  If achiever - comfortable achiever
  Could be total reaction and someone who actively takes anti-A stance.

U
Uu - lack of social skills not important - achievement is working
  Can be sunny and outgoing - no pretenses of being socially strong

Uuu - Not worried about it. Either a strong achiever or a social isolate.
  Uuu can have meaningful interpersonal relationships
   but within limited social roles
   but interpersonal relationships not based on how that person perceives you

Uuc - cautious about "take me as I am". Prone to embarrassment.
  Learned achievement does not take you everywhere.
  Does not make a lot of effort to learn social skills but just leave.
  Divides world into safe and not safe places.
  Might be seen as eccentric.

Uc - learned social skills to fit in milieu of achievement
  Recognized the cues and differentiate cues for when my social role is
  appropriate and when not. 
  Comfortable in some milieu and some not and knows the differences.

Ucu - Observe,imitate (if R) - comfortable in the Uc orientation
  Confidence in knowing how it is done - but not intuitively like A, but
  "by the book". Social confidence may be misplaced.
  Might have a lot of confidence but not so good.
  Or might be quite good.

Ucc - not comfortable with Uc.
   Tilts towards achievement. Knows can get along in areas where I am good
   but more cautious than Ucu.

Auc most common A
Acu not common because takes stringent environment to get there
