2L – Flexible Logic
The 2L attitude is characterized by a self-positive (Ls+) and others-positive (Lo+) disposition. This disposition creates an attitude that is acutely aware of how logical information can be transferred between itself and the outside world in both directions. 2Ls understand the elasticity, usefulness, and creative element within this aspect and generally feel a sense of fearlessness in discussing or sharing information within this realm. The strategies that each 2L employs may differ in behavior or execution but the core attitude of objective, flexible communication will remain consistent for all 2Ls. Below are some common beliefs and behaviors that you may see with 2Ls. Please keep in mind that these are generalities and do not represent the vast sub-archetypes held within the overall 2L attitude.
