Emotional Immaturity–How to Quickly Identify This Horrendous Trait

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines emotional immaturity as, “Acting in a childish way…exhibiting less than an expected degree of maturity.”

One of the biggest mistakes in assessing human personality is mistaking personas for authentic personality.

You won’t know a person’s true character after dinner together, a weekend trip, or even months of working together.

He seems so pleasant and fair-minded at the start. However, everyone has some degree of acting ability, some more than others, and that can be a very dangerous thing.

The real personality only comes out while under pressure or stress.

It can be shocking when you’re confronted with a person’s hidden emotional immaturity after months or even years of knowing her. Suddenly she morphs into a child in an adult’s body, giving the word irrational new meaning. As time goes by, perpetual crises arise when things don’t go her way.

Emotional immaturity is fairly common and can be classified as a subconscious defense pattern, like self-deception and excessive secrecy.

Severe emotional immaturity is not as common, though it, too, can remain hidden long after you think you know someone well.

Nobody wants an emotionally immature romantic partner, employee, business partner, co-worker, associate, or anyone else who is important in your life. Emotional immaturity, in the extreme, can complicate your life and ruin partnerships.

Emotional intelligence has a lot to do with emotional maturity and balance, and it has an effect on mental intelligence.

In order to find out if he has a problem with emotional immaturity before it’s too late, you could spend thousands of dollars (even tens of thousands) on traditional security investigations. The more money you spend, the more time investigators scrutinize the subject’s life.

Or, you could take an unconventional route: I’ve found handwriting analysis, part of my systems of analysis, an extraordinarily effective tool to measure emotional immaturity (and dozens of other red-flag personality traits).

Human nature never ceases to supply nasty surprises, but you can limit your risk through my non-traditional security investigations.

“Immaturity is the incapacity to use one’s intelligence without the guidance of another.” Immanuel Kant

“Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity. The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations.” Samuel Ullman
