>This is the most primitive of the IRU pat-terns and an tends to be relatively rare. In . general, the ir*u has made little adaptation or modification of his primitive tendencies; he is a non-involving schizoid person with limited emotional control and little aware-ness of any need to develop social-interpersonal competence. At best, he is a self-centered, highly autistic person who is individualistic and self-seeking; at worst, he is the classic childhood schizophrenic who never develops beyond his autistic personalized world.
Like the ir*u*, discussed below, this is a narcissistic adjustment, but it lacks the negativism and social-interpersonal defen-siveness ofthe ir*u adjustment. Instead, the ir*u is much more socially passive and in-sulated. The ir*a* has learned some form of social adaptation in his development that maintains him fairly effectively, but the ir*u remains socially and interpersonally insulated from the beginning without de-veloping superficial maturity. He is com-pletely succor dependent and needs con-stant care and attention, not because he de-mands it in an overt way, but because he is essentially helpless without it. Obviously, it is very difficult for the ir*u to achieve any sort of productive, adult adjustment.
The extreme ir*u is very difficult, if not impossible, to test, so part of the rarity of this pattern stems from this. Some ir*u re-cords will occur in individuals with organic conditions, but usually the pattern is a re-sult of the impairment and masks the pre-organic personality pattern. The ir*u is of-ten a management problem because he is abusive, overactive, and assaultive. There are definite childish temper tantrums that are unrelated to external events
