ONLY ONE
A person who is playing on his own behalf alone and on no other team. He is out to have no effect on himself and total effect on everyone else, and because he is one against everything else, he is certain to lose.
From the AOGP Abridged Scientology Dictionary — based on original LRH source materials, updated through 1982.
Usage
The person who is always upsetting those around him or getting people into trouble is usually in this condition; he has no real sense that other people exist. Criminals are in this bracket almost without exception.
Why It Matters
It looks like strength and is in fact a very low condition, sitting just above the bottom of the Tone Scale. To enjoy life at all, a person has to be willing to be part of it.
