The Four Aspects

Attitudinal Psyche is a personality system that theorizes all individuals have a set structure of fundamental attitudes that define their disposition. This disposition is categorized among four main aspects of reality: Volition (V), Logic (L), Physics (F), and Emotion (E).

The Four Positions

The dispositions we take towards the four aspects can each be separated into four positions. We define these positions in two ways: numerically (1st, 2nd, 3rd 4th) and descriptively (Confident, Flexible, Insecure, Unbothered). Although the positions are numbered, this does not indicate their aptitude or strength – but rather act as placeholders for a consistent logical structure.

The Sixteen Attitudes

When we place an aspect into a position, an attitude is created. An attitude defines a specific way that we align our disposition towards an aspect. There are sixteen possible combinations with attitudes: 1V, 2V, 3V, 4V, 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 1F, 2F, 3F, 4F, 1E, 2E, 3E, & 4E.
