Dear Genius at Work,
Wouldn't an "8" have been more demonstrative and more visibly emotional especially given the tenure of the trail. Is it a possiblity that OJ hit Riso's 9 "level of development" and moved to the polarity of the nine's peacekeeper" type during the crime? Maybe he did experience a high level of dissociation. It would surely account for his presence in and out of court in his demeanor and verbage of "I didn't do it!!"
In James Friesen's book, "Uncovering the mystery of MPD," he identifies numerous levels of dissociative capability. These levels are very much misunderstood by the general populace and by some professional clinicians who have little or no experience with multiple personalities.
Do not misunderstand, I choose not to judge OJ. I don't know that much about him even if I wanted too. This is simply an observation and possible "alter"-native to the whole charade.
Any comment?
