Attitudinal Psyche Test Version 5

The 1-0 subtype is the most difficult to recognize out of the confident attitudes. This type is mostly ambivalent or neutral about their greatest gift in the first attitude. They may have trouble seeing their own patterns of reaction and believe that they truly do not care about the aspect held within. The 1-0 subtype rarely sees themselves as “merged” or “becoming” the aspect and therefore refuses to admit to any sort of selfishness that they may have concerning their confidences. This type can fall asleep to what they bring to the world and how they experience their own ego, so there is a lot of refusing to take ownership or blame over things that they have a hand in causing. However, this restraint can lead to situations where other people underestimate the power of those with this subtype, and in-turn, they feel shocked or surprised by the aggression that can come spilling out. This subtype is the most likely to mistype as another core AP type because they have an ego about not having an ego. The first aspect is mostly obscured.

The 2-2 subtype is the most obvious to identify out of all the flexible subtypes. They tend to have a huge range of information and opinions towards the aspect and involve all opinions and viewpoints of the people around them. There is a constant need to move forward with this subtype so they can explore every piece of information available, no matter the source. They can also focus on balancing information between themselves and others, while refusing to reach a conclusion. For this reason, they are always testing their opinions with others, desiring to have consistent dialogue. This subtype rarely ever gets tired of sharing information or expressing their opinion about the aspect. They may come off as overly talkative and unconcerned about getting a desired result as exploration is the focus. The 2-2 subtype can undergo the most intense pressure placed on it without budging. This is because they continue to be curious about the “why” behind every construct, even if it means putting themselves in precarious situations. They have the most patience for others who are destructive and skeptical.

The 3-3 subtype is the easiest to identify as a true Insecure attitude as they generally do not hold back in negatively transmitting what makes them feel insecure. They will criticize and imagine others’ experiences next to their own to differentiate how they are in comparison. The 3-3 subtype wants to process out all possible negative outcomes with every individual involved in the aspect. They question anyone else’s authority over the aspect and prefer to create their own experiences and intricate opinions that no one can criticize. This subtype tends to be the most openly sensitive to outside attacks (as all are sensitive under the surface), whether perceived or real. This means that they often behave in a variety of ways making them difficult to pin down or “call out” as their third attitude is constantly shifting and reacting – which is par for the course for this position. They tend to immediately react to information related to the aspect held within, even if their response is totally disproportionate to what was said or declared.

The 4-2 subtype is the most open-minded and curious of how other people do things regarding the aspect held within. They tend to get lost in options when engaging in the aspect and are less concerned with which answer they personally choose, though they do eventually arrive there. The 4-2’s barometer for dealing with discussion and processing of the aspect held within is extremely high which can lead them to appearing 2X. This is confusing for others, as they eventually abruptly shut off communication once they feel that they have received enough information to decide. They are truly searching for results in the aspect but they do so by venturing through the information and opinions at hand, pinpointing what works for others. This gives them a friendly, honest, and genuine aura. The 4-2 subtype is looking for ideal opinions but cannot quite grasp them. Much like a bulk shopper, they are trying to stockpile the perfect product that they can find by visiting many different stores. This is what separates the 4-2 subtype from being a true process-oriented attitude, as once they find the answer, they are more than willing to move on. It stops becoming a journey once they can again separate themselves and find distinct answers. This does not mean that they distrust outside sources, but rather, they utilize them when needed.
