Attitudinal Psyche Test Version 5

The 1-4 subtype is the most results oriented of the confident attitudes. This type is taking their vulnerability and “fixing” it by coming to the quickest result or answer that is possible for whatever situation they have found themselves in. They prefer to ignore specific people or relationships to others regarding the aspect and are intent on seeing results. They will put their gift of strength on a timer, and if it takes too much energy to deal with the issue at hand, then they will move on. The aggression and confidence felt within is highly understood by the person with this subtype and this is what differentiates it from the 4-1 subtype. This subtype can run people over without realizing it because they have lost the human relational element related to the aspect, no matter which it is. The 1-4 subtype does not hesitate to share their opinions when prompted, they just prefer to keep a low profile as they believe this is the best way to stay focused on results is to not concern themselves with what people around them feel or think.

The 2-1 subtype is the most leaderlike of the flexible subtypes. They are prone to stating their opinions flat out regarding the aspect held within while retaining a self-focused demeanor. There is little holding back with this subtype as they are attempting to use their fearless aspect to lead by example. They seem to want to create higher levels of standards that others can observe and adopt for themselves without focusing on other people. The 2-1 subtype is still a process-oriented attitude at its core, so they are not trying to conclude the aspect like a true confident attitude would. However, they genuinely want others to follow their lead and overcome fears and obstacles by being as fearless as they present themselves to be. The follow-me subtype is looking for opportunities to express itself and become a bastion of hope for those who are less confident. This subtype is not as argumentative as the 2-3 subtype, but more unrelenting, blunt, and willing to impart its knowledge endlessly in a confident manner through long monologues. This type reports a strong need to guide others by example, so they can discover their best selves in the aspect.

The 3-4 subtype tends to focus on their own insecurities and fears and how it has ruined their own experience with the aspect. At times they can victimize themselves and mentally spin out about how the aspect has negatively impacted them. They will often attempt to manage their anxiety with step-by-step instructions of how to “fix” their issues within the aspect and they do this on their own time more so than the other subtypes due to being self-focused. This subtype tends to escape direct challenges of their opinion of the aspect and will use mocking sarcasm or underhanded jabs to get back at the culprit before disconnecting and isolating themselves. There may be more of a dormant phase of the 3rd attitude present with quick interweaving reactive phases throughout their lives. The 3-4 subtype frequently trivializes any attack made against them because others are not what matters in their perception of the aspect. What is unseen to the observer is that any attack does bother this subtype but by trivializing others they can process the insecurity on their own time.

The 4-4 subtype is the most apparent and easily recognizable of the unbothered subtypes. They tend to downplay the importance of their 4th aspect regarding their own needs but will easily incorporate new blocks of information from outside sources. They identify where they stand with the aspect with ease and are genuinely fearless and unconcerned with how it might affect them long term. Anyone can come along with an opinion and impart it on the 4-4 subtype, as there is an openness to incorporating information verbatim. The accentuated subtype is like a connoisseur of the aspect, as they can absolutely see how others are skilled or lacking within. They can appear to be entirely at the mercy of others and must watch closely for manipulation as they may fall victim to insidious opinions. The accentuated subtype has the easiest time shutting the aspect off when there are other issues happening affecting their first three attitudinal aspects. They behave as chameleons when information regarding the aspect is brought up, willing to go with others so long as it means they do not have to engage and process it themselves. The growth path is recognizing all the dormant potential of information that lies within the aspect. Rather than abandoning information as they normally do, they must learn to incorporate it into a holistic and meaningful understanding.
