3V – Insecure Volition
The 3V attitude is characterized by a self-negative (Vs-) and others-negative (Vo-) disposition. This disposition creates an attitude that is plagued by an awareness of limitations, weakness, harm, negative consequences, and manipulation within the realm of volition. This awareness applies internally, externally, and within the exchange of information in the aspect. 3Vs have a keen sense of how they can be harmed by volition. The strategies that each 3V employs to deal with the insecurity may differ in behavior or execution but the core attitude of subjective vulnerability and insecurity will remain consistent for all 3Vs. Below are some common beliefs and behaviors that you may see with 3Vs. Please keep in mind that these are generalities and do not represent the vast sub-archetypes held within the overall 3V attitude.

• Becomes worried and unsure of how to overcome actual or perceived obstacles.
• Over-analyzes and replays what it took to accomplish any past goals that lead to the current state of being.
