The 1V attitude is characterized by a self-positive (Vs+), others-negative (Vo-) disposition. This disposition creates an attitude that is acutely aware of its own strengths within the realm of volition. 1Vs understand their own power within this aspect and generally want to protect it at all costs. All incoming volitional information from others must be pushed through the 1V’s subjective interpretation before it is accepted. The strategies that each 1V employs may differ in behavior or execution but the core attitude of subjective protection over what they believe is their greatest asset will be consistent and true for all 1Vs. Below are some common beliefs and behaviors that you may see with 1Vs. Please keep in mind that these are generalities and do not represent the vast sub-archetypes held within the overall 1V attitude.
