Many learned about the existence of the Nordic character from the popular film about the Soviet intelligence officer Stirlitz. The qualities inherent in this hero were highly valued by the Aryans, but this does not mean that a person with a Nordic character will not find a place for himself in modern society.
What is meant by the concept of "Nordic character"
For the first time the concept of "Nordic character" was introduced by the Swedish scientist - Professor Anders Rezius, who in the 40s of the 19th century tried to designate the characteristics of the "Germanic type" race. According to his findings, tall, slender people with straight, light ash hair, gray or blue eyes, a narrow and long nose, and an angular chin often have a Nordic character.
To imagine a person with a Nordic character, you need to know that "nord" is translated as "north". Those. in the narrow sense, this is a cold and harsh person. In a broader sense, a person of the Nordic type has steadfastness, composure, prudence, restraint, inflexibility and firmness in principles and judgments.
A person with a Nordic character knows how to remain calm and balanced in any situations, is a forward-looking strategist, resistant to any life troubles, because tempered by the harsh conditions of the harsh north. A man of the Nordic type rarely gives out his thoughts and emotions, he is always focused and attentive, thanks to which he is often able to predict many events.
Is Nordic character good or bad?
Any type of character has both positive and negative traits. Among the positive qualities of the Nordic type are stress resistance, prudence, persistence in achieving goals. Its negative features include coldness and insensitivity, but these qualities may well turn out to be feigned. In its pure form, Nordic, like all other types of characters, practically does not occur.
One should not be afraid of the characteristic "Nordic character" due to the fact that it was loved by the ideologists of Nazi Germany. None of their leaders fit the characteristics of the Nordic type; they were all evil, cruel, cold and often mentally unstable people.
Leader or Astronaut?
The Nordic type is considered the ideal leader. His self-confidence, firmness of character and adherence to principles instill respect in subordinates. The Nordic personality will never be hysterical and break down on subordinates, shift the blame onto others. People follow such a leader at the behest of the heart, and not by compulsion.
By the way, Sergei Pavlovich Korolev named the Nordic character among the qualities necessary for astronaut candidates, along with hard work, impeccable health and endurance of the body.
