Attitudinal Psyche Test Version 5

The 1-3 subtype is the most raw about their own weaknesses and vulnerabilities with a strong focus on who or what is limiting them. They recognize how they could be destroyed by others and tend to openly reference and discuss it more than any of the other confident subtypes. They internalize and worry about what could stop them from bringing their best to a situation and do not mind sharing it with others. There is an inclination to dig at what the truth is regarding their own nature by blasting it from the rooftop. The 1-3 subtype needs to figure out how they could be harmed so they can protect their greatest gift within the first aspect. However, though they themselves are willing to share and be candid about what they are experiencing, this does not mean they want you to tell them what to do or how to live – and sometimes they would rather you not respond to them at all. They resist and downplay outside opinions as they believe their own candid nature is far superior to anyone else’s. The 1-3 subtype wants to perfect confidence by developing strategies to avoid the outside threats that could stop them.

The 2-4 subtype is all about being an active listener to others. This subtype can appear rather shy but there will always be a focus on supporting and encouraging others to share their experiences or explore their own fears. The 2-4 subtype recognizes the gift they have for others but is more interested in what others believe themselves. They see themselves as a secondhand source of information that can be explored by others when necessary but truly believe that everyone can figure out their issues for themselves if they try. They often downplay their power, choosing to be modest instead so they do not attract unwanted attention. The 2-4 subtype has an awareness of appropriateness that no other subtype has. They wish to support people in the most ideal way and if that means they must hold onto information for another time then they will do so, as they believe others have the answers within them anyway. They tend to have an awareness of what makes other people tick and will attempt to get others to see this within themselves as well. The nature of this subtype to ignore themselves can make them mistype as the 4th attitude but like all flexible subtypes they do not back down from fearlessly discussing the aspect if fully engaged in it. They are genuinely self-positive, though it does not appear this way at first glance.

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 4-3 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.
