Attitudinal Psyche Test Version 5

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.

The 2-3 subtype is the most argumentative of the flexible subtypes. This type desires feedback no matter what the situation is and will purposely pry at people to get them to respond. This subtype may come off as impersonal, as there is no real focus on the “who” of the matter but rather “how” someone is doing something. They offer up many options to problems and will even explore the negatives, so long as it leads to more information to process. This subtype can get lost in feeling as if they must gather more details regardless of who is involved. They worry about how dead ends could cut them off from exploring things deeper, so to counter this they will dedicate themselves to uncovering hidden obstacles. They are not fearful of the aspect itself but rather fearful of how outside influences (especially of their own insecure aspect) can limit them attaining more information. They wish to deeply elaborate on the “why” behind every construct much like the 2-2 subtype, but there is a specific lack of personal investment that is generally present with the 2-2s. The 2-3 subtypes want to explore every closet, attic, basement, and crawl space of the aspect held within. They can come off as being insecure but the defining difference between them and the insecure attitude is their positive, can-do reaction to obstacles and new information.

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.

The 4-0 subtype is the most prone to completely ignoring or denying the importance of the 4th aspect as a whole. This type tends to abandon any desire to receive information from others until it absolutely must be done. They may struggle to cope with situations that involve the 4th aspect for long periods of time, because it demands too much of their attention and effort. This subtype views information within this aspect as a lingering, nagging problem that keeps them from focusing on more important matters in life (usually related to their other aspects). Although it can take weeks or sometimes months, once they deal with what is limiting them within the aspect, they are quick to ignore or outright dismiss it again. This pattern leads to an adoption of an ambivalent attitude over time where sometimes they are annoyed with processing the attitude out, and other times they believe that the aspect is entirely meaningless to their lives, so no real “lesson” is ever learned. Unlike the 4-4 subtype, this subtype has issues staying grounded and they believe that the aspect is not worth paying attention to unless they are forced.
