Do you often, when communicating with this or that person, catch yourself thinking that you do not understand your interlocutor at all? Sometimes we perceive the irrational, illogical and unexpected actions of the people around us as a completely common occurrence. We try not to think about why this or that person behaves this way and not otherwise. When we do not understand some actions of a person, many of us attribute it to a bad character or a bad mood.
• Predicting people's behavior is a skill that almost every person living on our planet would like to have. Having this ability, you can understand whether you should trust a potential business partner, whether you need to start a serious relationship with an impressive man or attractive woman you like, whether you can count on the help and support of a friend in difficult times, etc.
• The ability to accurately predict the behavior of a person will help reduce the risk associated with relationships and interactions between people to an absolute minimum. But is it possible to acquire this ability?
• Learning to determine the emotional state of people and predict their behavior is not only possible, but necessary! This can be done using a special Hubbard emotional tone scale, which was developed by the American philosopher and writer Ronald Hubbard.
What is the Hubbard Emotional Tone Scale? How to learn to understand this method? In this article we will try to find the correct answers to these questions.
What is it and its history
The Hubbard scale is a powerful psychological tool that helps to correctly assess a person’s behavior and makes it possible to predict his actions.
This special method was developed in the 50s of the XX century. Ronald Hubbard. To systematize all human emotions and place them in precise order on a scale, Hubbard observed a lot of behavior around him and spent a lot of time conducting experiments.
When using this scale, you will be able to interact more effectively with others and understand the reason for their emotions and behavior.
Scientology in Russia
This science has not taken root in our country. The Russian Orthodox Church actively condemned it, demanding that the government ban the spread of Scientology sects. A loud scandal broke out when one of the former leaders of the Church of Scientology, Vladimir Ivanov, publicly spoke in the press, calling his fellow believers swindlers and swindlers. He exposed this organization as a purely commercial one, engaged in recruiting irresponsible citizens for the purpose of extorting money.
To follow or not to follow these methods is everyone’s personal choice. You don't have to be a member of the Church of Scientology to use its theories. The Hubbard Emotional Tone Scale is a fairly innocent teaching. And if it helps you establish contact with others, then why not use it?

Famous Scientology adherents
Despite the fact that Scientology is a fairly young science, it has become incredibly popular in our time. This is probably one of the most successful modern teachings that provides an alternative to traditional religions. Scientology methods are followed by many famous politicians, actors, musicians, athletes and other public figures. The leader of Scientologists among celebrities is, of course, Tom Cruise. Thanks to the fact that he praises this teaching at every convenient and inconvenient occasion, even those who don’t even watch Hollywood films began to know about it. He regularly participates in charity events, emphasizing that this is done in the name of good, as taught by the Scientology religion. In addition, he even opened several Scientology centers to spread this teaching as quickly as possible.
For John Travolta, in his own words, Scientology helped him cope with the loss of his mother, and since then he has also become an active follower of this movement. Together with his wife Kelly Preston, he can compete with even Tom Cruise in promoting Scientology.
Among other famous names you can also find Will Smith, Lisa Marie Presley, Kirstie Alley, Nicolas Cage, Elisabeth Moss, Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes. All of them are very successful and sought-after actors and musicians, which constitutes the best advertisement for Scientology.
Hubbard's Complete Emotional Tone Scale
| Highest tone 40.0 Serenity of existence 30.0 Postulates 22.0 Games 20.0 Actions 8.0 Inspiration 6.0 Aesthetics 4.0 3.5 Joy 3.3 Strong interest Conservatism 2.9 Moderate 2.8 Satisfaction 2.6 of interest 2.5 Boredom 2.4 Monotony 2.0 Antagonism 1.9 Hostility 1.8 Pain 1.5 Anger 1.4 Hatred 1.3 Resentment 1.2 Lack of empathy 1.15 Covert resentment 1.1 Covert hostility 1.02 Anxiety 1.0 Fear | -0 .01 Failure -0.1 Pity -0.2 Shame -0.7 Guilty _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ | -1.0 Blame -1.3 Regret -1.5 Control of bodies -2.2 Protection of bodies -3.0 Possession -3.5 Approval from -4.0 Necessity of bodies -5.0 Worship of bodies -6.0 Sacrifice -8.0 Hidden -10.0 Being a body -20.0 Being nothing -30.0 Can't hide – 40.0 Complete failure Lowest tone |
As you can see, whose emotional tone is in low positions, they are apathetic, indifferent and always avoid communication. If you cannot find a common language and achieve mutual understanding with your interlocutor, then you most likely have too much difference in emotional tones. In this case, there can be no talk of any kind of friendship or cooperation. One will perceive arguments with enthusiasm, the other with complete apathy.
4.0 pent-up hostility - lack of empathy
Why dodge and fuss? A person in the absence of sympathy acts more simply: his motto is renunciation of emotions. He doesn't feel sorry for you, believe me. It seems as if he has forgotten what pity is, but he does not allow himself to be pitied. In this tone, you can meet a frigid woman who does not understand the meaning of love and intimacy, or a fatal beauty who accepts courtship and gifts lazily and does not give her feelings to anyone. Alas, she simply doesn’t have them.
To get rid of the pain that sincerity can give, Lack of Sympathy refuses to feel. While wanting to achieve his goals, a person in this tone denies himself open anger: without forgiving anyone, he does not believe that he himself can be forgiven for a sincere manifestation of emotions. It is much easier to extinguish anger in the name of an abstract, ambitious idea. Most often, Lack of Sympathy is ambitious and goes head-to-head towards its goal. But he has no one to share the joy of victory with. Lack of Sympathy does not want to share your sorrow or joy.
How to raise your emotional tone
“It is impossible to suddenly jump from the lowest tone to several tones higher. This journey will be gradual, so be patient."
If possible, travel, make new acquaintances and try to maintain conversation topics. Find a hobby that brings you pleasure, and later find like-minded people in this matter. Step by step, your emotional state will improve, and you will realize that life contains a lot of positive and bright things.

Why does a person deny negative emotions?
A person denies negative emotions
The reason a person denies negative emotions is extremely simple. So why does a person deny negative emotions? Here's the explanation:
- They bring unpleasant sensations. This can be both physical and mental pain.
- Feedback is often instilled by adults. Limitations like “don’t be afraid,” “don’t get angry,” “don’t scream,” “don’t cry” are all denials of negative emotions.
- This category also includes tirades like “you’re a boy, if you cry, they’ll laugh”, “they hit you, but you bear with it - a man shouldn’t show his emotions” , “don’t behave aggressively - otherwise it might provoke someone and they’ll beat you.” " Thus, pain and negative emotions are closely related.
However, if prohibitions on expressing negative emotions come from childhood, then no one teaches a person to express positive emotions. He initially knows how to laugh until he drops at what is funny, rejoice at unexpected luck, experience euphoria from love, and much more.
But do all negative emotions need to be denied? After all, sometimes a person needs to “let off steam.” Otherwise, her emotional and physical condition will become even worse. It is for such moments that methods of psychological relaxation are practiced.
