PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
People belonging to the anal vector are the ones who live in the past. They are absolute introverts. The focus on the past is necessary in order to execute their innate role which is to gather everything gained by the generation's experience and pass it on to teenage boys.
Hence the respect to authorities, traditions and everything that has stood the test of time. People with the anal vector are interested in antiquity and antiques and reading historical books. The older the book, the more respect and trust is put into its knowledge.

Everything connected to the past seems, to an anal person, much better than anything connected to the present and even more so to the future. They feel that the world degrades, “Our grandparents lived the right way...”. Everything that happened before is better than today, “In the old days the grass was greener”. The longer an event remains in the past the more joy it brings. It is them who experience nostalgia for the past and try to keep it’s pieces. The anal man stores things not for the purpose of saving, but for the memory: “This thing is as dear to me as memory”
The traditional way of life, the aspiration to bring the past into the future one of the peculiarities of the anal type. Thus it is painful to accept and get used to change for the anal psyche.
They are inclined to have a fixation on their first experiences: their first friendship, their first love... They order the same food as if being hostages to their first experience, even down to the smallest details and this behavior lasts all their lives.
One of the peculiarities of the way the anal people talk is that they use affectionate diminutive forms like darling, duckling, kitty, doggy, mommy etc.
Anal people are one of the “reading vectors”. Big book fanciers. Their inherent desire to gather information is provided with the proper abilities, they love and even crave studying and possess a phenomenal memory. The anal men are knowledgeable, they are the winners of trivia games like “Trivial Pursuit” and also very capable handy man and in combination with the upper vectors they have golden brains. The anal-visual people are the winners of all competitions, the most excellent students who graduate with a degree of distinction. They are also best teachers.
There are inherent diligence and systematic intellect in the anal vector. This is to systematize knowledge and information. Information must be sorted thoroughly when entering the brain therefore learning is slow but always precise. For the same reason they never forget details, and always know the correct answers to questions. The anal people always either ask additional questions and/or have to repeat the answer. They dig out the informative essentials to make categories and a perfect system in their mind. All actions both physical and intellectual are made according to a strict order, and never otherwise. Some can call the anal men boring and slow, but their sequences, carefulness and exactness make them irreplaceable workers.

The proverb “Measure thrice and cut once” is totally about the anal people. They cannot hurry up and be fast because to do everything properly, time is not an issue. If they are driven on they fall into a stupor and then have to start anew. Do not interrupt them , they are not able to switch from one thing to another or multitask. They keep everything in order, things must be in their right places and on right shelves, nuts and bolts will never appear to be in the same box. Putting things in order and finding the right places for things is the peculiarity of the anal thinking. They are true professionals and experts in any sphere. A real expert is always a person with the anal vector. Never go to a doctor without the anal vector, they can leave a scalpel inside of your stomach or diagnose the wrong disease.
They are diligent, loyal and careful. It is difficult for them to begin something, but if they have already begun doing something - they carry it to completion , an absolute perfection. The search for drawbacks helps to make perfection. That is why the anal word “but” exists.

“But” is a must have conjunction in the anal language, they always look for a fly in the ointment or a blot on the landscape. The strength of this search depends on the degree of development. If the anal vector has not developed, a person does not see anything good, only bad. It is unrealized and undeveloped anal people who throw mud all over Internet because they won’t be punished. When the vector is developed “but” allows them to do a perfect job, “You have done everything well, BUT there is one little thing wrong....”. Such attentiveness to detail makes them to do things in the best way like none other.
There is subconscious geometry of comfort - a square.. A picture hung askew, or a book standing slanted on a shelf can cause discomfort. An anal man will always come up and fix it.
They are straightforward, they always tell the truth without hesitation. Perceiving others through ourselves , the anal people are sure that the others are also straightforward and honest. They may commonly say, “I‘ve already seen this, I know it.” Additionally they always remain simple-hearted and cling faithfully on hollow words and promises (knowing that they keep all their promises). It is easy to deceive them. They like straightforwardness in everything: “Bitter truth is better than sweet lies”
An anal person wants to divide everything into equal portions either bread or guilt. For this reason they considered to be honest people. Anal justice is “equal” justice. The upper side of the psyche square has to be even all the time; a warp arouses a sense of guilt that exists only in the anal vector. This guilt can result in a reaction which may be very positively or negatively driven.
An anal man is not able to be indebted to anyone. If they are offered something and know that they cannot pay for it, they won't accept it. According they must only take and give back the same amount – returning balance to their square. They will never take extra change because of a cashier's mistake, they give the money back. Inner and outer cleanness is also very important to an anal person: “My house is clean and my thoughts are pure so I cannot deceive you.”
On the other hand, when they do not get what they expected and deserved a side of the square sags inward causing big discomfort., This feeling turns into offense. Offense is so troubling that it can suck all the life energy from an anal person. Over time it becomes aggravating and summons the demand to return to a balanced state. A man cannot forgive, wants compensation and takes revenge. They won’t do anything on the sly, but rather give honest and advanced notice. Threat is an anal warning about revenge and when they say it they mean it. It is necessary to apologize to them at once because offense has the ability to grow and acquire a hypertrophied shape. An anal person can be patient, but never forgets the bad.
Thanks to their excellent memory they remember everything that has happened to them. For the same reason they have feelings of gratitude and unforgivieness. The anal psyche is rigid, sluggish, viscid and easy to get stuck. On one hand there is a “cast-iron” psyche, steadiness, stubbornness,adherence to principles. On the other - fragility. This type of psyche does not bend, it breaks.
They are men serving in the rear of army, they used to guard the cave while the rest were hunting. In a realized state they are the best hosts, friends, fathers and husbands. Their friends and family are protected as if behind a stonewall. In a frustrated state they are sadists, tyrants or rapists. The phenomenon “domestic sadism” concerns people with the anal vector only.
The anal men are monogamous, faithful to family and country, loyal adults and obedient children. Marriage is sacred to them. They will never infringe on somebody’s belongings or wife. This comes naturally to them and is recognized by others, for example – the anal man would be left alone with the women and children while the other men were hunting.

An anal man is very attentive to people especially his sexual partner. If they do not share mutual feelings in a relationship, he will suffer and worry for a long period of time. They are not able to switch partners and start a new relationship.
They have a high sexual potential and undifferentiated libido. Initially anal men are attracted to teenage boys. Mostly this attraction is inhibited, and they become the best teachers. In a rare cases when it does not happen, they deal with pedophilia. Homosexuality also originates from this inability to inhibit.
The anal people are villagers by nature who tend to live closer to nature. They like working with their hands, having picnics, fishing, going to saunas and drinking beer with friends.
Home is their territory of comfort and it begins with slippers. They are stay-at-home people, walking is problematic. They can not sustain a lot of exercises or be overworked, quite often they have flat-feet and unhealthy joints. Their metabolism is slow usually they are men of stout figures.
The comfort of shoes is the important condition and choosing them is the long procedure. They can’t wear high heel shoes, instead they prefer ones with flat soles, stable and comfortable.
The toilet or bathroom is an anal sanctuary. They like spending a lot of time there because it is very soothing and balancing for them. They ask each other, “Did everything come out ok?”. Reading in the bathroom is also a favorite past time. Stomach problems and digestion issues are their weak points. Before stressing out they have diarrhea and constipation after. Anal people fear the disgrace that comes from losing control of their sphincter.
Anal men are willing to clean their rectums, removing everything. Circumstantiality, solidity and the desire to complete anything they begin originates from this process and spreads over everything they deal with. It affects the need for completeness and purity in everything: they like a clean table cloth , a pure woman and an unstained reputation.
The psychology of the children with the anal vector has its own peculiarities. An anal kid is notable for their obedience, “Such a good boy!”. If handled with the wrong approach, they turn into the most stubborn children.

For an anal child, the relationship with his mother is very significant. The way this relationship is established defines the future of an anal child. These children are the most dependent on their mothers. They, to a lesser degree can adapt, but the future is always a stress factor. The mother acts as a safety guarantor. She helps, tells him what to do and he is happy. An anal child needs his mother's love, support and praise. If he does not get it he lives his life having a grudge against his mother.
In cases when it is an anal-visual child, the mother starts manipulating his specific need for love and the boy gains The Mama's Boy Syndrome.
So the people born with the anal vector potentially have great abilities that need to be developed and realized in the right way. You can learn more about the anal vector with Vector Systems psychology training presented by Yuri Burlan.
