one of the ten main needle actions of an E-meter. A change of characteristic occurs when we hit on something in the preclear's bank. It occurs only when and each time we ask that exact question. As the question or item alone changes the needle pattern, we must assume that that is it and we use it. It is not much used but must be known. (EME, pp. 15-16)
- the meter on a certain question has its needle shift into a different action than it was in. It resumes its old action when you no longer ask the question. (SH Spec 1, 6105C07)
