Situation - You are observing people behaving as Space Cadets

When you see someone behaving like a Space Cadet, it can be very useful in determining their Behaviour Pattern prior to invoking Titanium Imposition™

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines 'Space Cadet' as: a flaky, lightheaded, or forgetful person.

Space Cadets may exhibit some aspects of Peter Pan behaviour but Peters Pan can be in any pattern.

One of our latest techniques is to match child like behaviour to the person you are studying. That is, observing the inability of individuals to take on responsibilities, to commit themselves, to keep promises and tasks, to observe if there is excessive care about the way they look and their personal well-being and their lack of self-confidence, even though they do not seem to show it and actually come across as exactly the opposite.
More to look out for although some are very difficult to observe: procrastination, difficulty forming genuine friendships, a lack of career interest, not being able to handle situations, trouble with commitment (may be interested in relationships or sex, but not for long), sexual disorders, drug and / or alcohol abuse, unreliability (the refusal to assume personal or professional responsibility), it is everyone else's fault, wacky and unrealistic goals and priorities (I am in my 50s and I want to be a celebrity, an actor and a model), is emotionally unavailable, has a tendency to not want to improve - a trait Oxor™ hones in on including an unwillingess to motivate oneself or to stay motivated, a sense of anger and of guilt towards one parent and a desire to be closer to the other parent. They are waiting for the ship to come in and solve all their problems.

Further, Peters Pan are completely intolerant of criticism. Having a younger partner means less responsibility. "Wendy" makes every decision and takes on the responsibilities of Peter Pan, thus justifying the unreliability. Oxor™ looks keenly if someone cannot handle conflict at ALL. Then we watch and see if Peter Pan RUNS AWAY. That may involve walking, stomping or walking away on-line from the discussion, showing a facial expression that exudes ill will, leaving the building, going to a room / venue where games can distract or just curling up under a blanket to maybe cry like a toddler for a couple of hours. Meanwhile, Wendy does all the work.
If not RUNNING AWAY, we look for RETALIATION. That may involve a fit and / or bringing up items thinking or knowing that this will upset you to "get back at you" for causing Peter Pan to be upset. Tantrums are common, Passive-Aggressive behaviour can be used, and so can as are name-calling and/or throwing things. This Peter Pan behaviour may, with an emphasis on may lead you to their Disc pattern.

In recent exercises, Elizabeth Hunter™ discovered an Agent and an Objective Thinker to be Peters Pan. This demonstrates that this technique is not absolute and a massive amount of research into the person that you are studying is required.

Do not attempt to fix a Peter Pan. Professor Humbelina Robles Ortega, Professor of the Department of Personality, Evaluation and Psychological Treatment of the University of Granada and an expert in emotional disorders, points out that the only solution for this disease is the right psychological treatment, not only centred on the person who suffers from the disorder but also on their partner and family.

If you find a Peter Pan, Oxor™ suggests that you use Titanium Imposition™ for their pattern overlayed with the Platinum Imposition™ for the High I quadrant due to the inability of Peters Pan to take on responsibilities, to commit themselves or to keep promises.
