VLEF • The Inquisitor
VLEF is the Attitudinal Psyche type that seems the most interested in gathering information that supports the belief system of who they believe they are and what direction they have chosen. The VLEF appears to be protecting themselves and others from being emotionally intimidated or thrown off from the path they have decided to follow. They may come off as intellectual, professorial, curious, determined, demanding, accomplished, skeptical, argumentative, shut off, questioning, and sometimes artistic if it supports the goal they have in mind. The VLEF seems to want control over their identity through continuous inquiries and investigations of their choosing while resisting any emotional attack or violation of their sensitivities.
1-0 Subtype
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.
2-0 Subtype
The 2-0 subtype can be seen as the most to-the-point, no-nonsense, lax, chill, and untalkative of the bunch. However, this does not necessarily mean that they are shy because they often simply do not wish to waste time processing their own internal reactions out loud. They would rather save the processing that happens within the 2nd attitude for their own internal . This type can tend to think that all information regarding the 2nd aspect is obvious so there’s no need to over-process it, but will gladly put themselves in situations where others are discussing the aspect. The positives to this subtype is they are well attuned to keeping themselves from engaging in useless banter and extra information but the negatives are that they can fall into hibernation and cutting themselves off from showing their true selves to others and talking things out that need to be discussed. This type tends to be doubting of both their own positive and negative views of a situation. They often do not care about being overly talkative, seeming curious and interested in the aspect which can lead to mistyping as 3X or 4X. Eternal neutrality is often the resounding theme in their lives which confuses others who see them occasionally give feedback and engage in the aspect.
3-3 Subtype
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.
4-3 Subtype
The 4-3 subtype is the most prone to self-disgust of all the unbothered subtypes. This subtype tends to resist the aspect by processing what is worth spending their mental energy on. They tend to isolate the aspect from others and have a distinct self-absorbed attitude about what wastes their time. This subtype easily imagines roadblocks that might get in their way but often has no idea what to do about them. In conversation, they may trail off into tangents or explanations of how they see things as useless or annoying within the aspect, but they also have no issue ignoring it until a later time. There is a true lack of anxiety that we see present in the insecure attitudes, as the 4-3 subtype is only using this skeptical nature to figure out what is worth inviting into their mental sphere. Once they have figured out what is worth their time, they move on. They can sometimes mitigate to their third aspect which does cause them anxiety and further causes them to ignore their fourth aspect. This mechanism can make the 4th attitude invisible to the individual. Like the 4-1 subtype, there is an annoyance with wasting time in the aspect, so figuring out how to be more efficient is always a boon.

**Below are unique elements of your subtype configuration
Flow Aspect
You have a flowing aspect present, which means one of your aspects is pointing at another aspect. This means you will often connect these two aspects together and frequently discuss ideas surrounding the block that is formed. (Ex: VELF 2234 has a flowing aspect from 1-2 to 2-2 which is in the VE block so this person will often discuss motivation whenever V is brought up, mitigating the V conversation to E information.
Highly Obscured
At least two of your aspects are obscured (X-0 subtype), which usually means you will have extra difficulty figuring out your core attitudinal type. You may hide significant portions of your personality to “get along” or “go with the flow”. You may also test as different types depending on your current mood or setting. There is a high chance you are an Enneagram core type 9, 8w9, 1w9, or 6.
