ALTITUDE
The prestige which anyone has in the eyes of another.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
An auditor who has altitude in the eyes of a preclear is someone whose instructions the preclear respects and follows readily. A person with high altitude is regarded with prestige by those around them.
Why It Matters
Altitude matters in Scientology practice because the prestige an auditor or supervisor holds in the eyes of a student or preclear directly affects how well their guidance is received. Appropriate altitude supports effective auditing and training relationships.
