Content: People in this Pole show it by being opinionated — they have an opinion about everything, even when they do not have actual knowledge of it. They perceive the world behaving arbitrarily (since they do not understand its true functions, which are not arbitrary), and they are also arbitrary. When people get set in this Pole, their belief patterns are difficult to change. Their "mind is made up, so don't confuse me with the facts." They may accept some theory or fringe doctrine about the nature of reality which cannot be substantiated. The fear that drives -Dogma is the fear of being wrong or ignorant. Dogmatic people want to believe that they have correctly understood the workings of the world. Without adequate knowledge, they will nevertheless declare that they have correctly perceived the situation. If they are to actually achieve clear perception, they should consider and apply the Positive Pole of the other six Attitudes. If they experiment with viewing life through the eyes of other people with these other viewpoints, they will gain a perspective of what is really going on.
