Psykers and Sanctioning

[Philip S]

Suffice to say that I select to see the person as an individual rather than an unwilling pawn as a matter of setup.

Me too, and I agree.

I'm saying they are not pawns of the chaos gods and are very much individuals.

Not to be maddening or anything, but being the relative newbie around here, I'm not quite up with it.  Seems to me that the "psykers as a cork" thing fits with what I've read in the fluff and novels. 

So, (and here's the potentially dumb question part), if they're not actively-shielding-their-mind kind of psyker, what are they?

The "cork theory" is one that gets more credence with the later material, but it is something that I'm making a personal judgement about.  That is, I don't think that it adds to the story of the 40k universe, thus I'm going to remove it from the equation.  Of course, that doesn't mean that this would not show up, just as the general rule psykers (for me) aren't going to be represented as they are in the most recent 'fluff'...
