Consider the congenital personality traits of the artist Richard Dadd.

Richard Dadd (1 August 1817 – 7 January 1886) was an English painter of the Victorian era, noted for his depictions of fairies and other supernatural subjects, Orientalist scenes, and enigmatic genre scenes, rendered with obsessively minuscule detail. Most of the works for which he is best known were created while he was a patient in Bethlem and Broadmoor hospitals.

In 1842, he participated in an expedition to Greece and the Middle East, where in December, while sailing on the Nile, he experienced a spiritual upheaval – he felt like the incarnation of the Egyptian god Osiris (the incident was considered a sunstroke). On the way home, in Rome and Paris, Dadd lost control several more times.

After returning in 1843, he was declared mentally ill and placed in the care of his family. In August 1843, seeing in his father the incarnation of the devil, Dadd killed him with a knife (cutting his throat and finishing him with a knife in the chest) and went to Paris; along the way, he tried to kill (or killed) another person, was captured in Paris by the police and confessed to parricide.

Modern researchers suggest that he suffered from schizophrenia (apparently, he was genetically predisposed to it – all his brothers became victims of a mental disorder) or from bipolar disorder. Dadd was placed in the Bedlam Psychiatric Hospital, from where he was transferred to Broadmoor in 1864.

Dadd spent almost the rest of his life in various hospitals, where he continued to paint. It was there that Richard created his most famous works, among them ««Masterful swing of a fabulous woodcutter».

Richard Dadd was born August 1, 1817, the octanalytic personality formula

19 lunar day / 43-Pisces / 86% – //31-Leo / 3-43-Ox.

The formula shows the congenital personality traits:

– Richard Dadd was born in the «waning moon» phase, the illumination of the moon’s surface is 86%;

– pronounced congenital dominant managerial abilities («four» twice as first dominant);

– hypertrophied expressed congenital dominant creative abilities («three» as a background dominant, as first dominant and twice as second dominant);

– congenital dominant analytical abilities («one» as second dominant);

– deficiency of congenital dominants: two instances 5-Soul and 2-Ratio, there are no «five» and «two» in the formula.

The formula shows that out of five personality instances, one instance (3-Irratio) manifests itself as a hypertrophied expressed congenital dominant, one instance (4-Heart) as a pronounced congenital dominant and one instance (1-Mind) as an congenital dominant.

The formula also shows that in the psyche of Richard Dadd, the extravert instances 3-Irratio and 1-Mind, complementing each other, show much greater congenital dominance than the introvert instance 4-Heart. This means that when interacting with the outside world, the psyche of Richard Dadd is more attuned to extraversion than to introversion. In the «introversion-extraversion» system of the psyche of Richard Dadd, there is a strong imbalance towards extraversion. The psyche of Richard Dadd is very unstable to external stimuli.

The formula also shows that in the two-component unconscious (instances 3-Irratio and 2-Ratio, in other words, «three» and «two»), there is a hypertrophied pronounced imbalance towards irrationality in the «irrationality-rationality» system: irrationality («three» as background, as first dominant and twice as second dominant) is much more active than rationality (there is no «two» in the formula – there is no congenital dominance of the 2-Ratio instance).

This means that irrational, spontaneous, unpredictable actions appear in Richard Dadd much more often than rational, consistent, logical actions. Four «three» in the absence of a «two» in the octanalytic personality formula show that irrational actions can manifest themselves explosively.

Richard Dadd was born in the waning moon phase, the illumination of the moon’s surface is 86%. When a person is born on a full moon or almost on a full moon, the human psyche has an increased sensitivity.

A combination of four factors

(1) hypersensitivity of the psyche, due to the birth of almost a full moon;

(2) strong mental imbalance towards extraversion;

(3) in the unconscious («irrationality-rationality» system) hypertrophied pronounced imbalance towards irrationality;

(4) pronounced managerial abilities («four» twice as first dominant),

create conditions for the formation of Richard Dadd’s explosive destructive antisocial behavior, which is clearly perceived by others as psychopathy.

Hypersensitivity of the psyche of Richard Dadd, the mood of the psyche for extraversion, as well as the setting of unconscious actions for hypertrophied irrationality, spontaneity, all these factors together create a great burden on the psyche. It is necessary to isolate Richard Dadd from a large number of social contacts.

The analysis of the congenital properties of the psyche of Richard Dadd clearly shows that the methods of octanalysis make it possible to identify the cause-and-effect relationships of a mental disorder.
