The only difference between the 3rd and the 4th is accepting vs. producing. Same goes for the 5th and 6th.

So...

3rd is weak and producing, and 5th is weak and accepting (and the other end of the axis to our 1st function), so when we need our 5th we act out with our 3rd (and make an idiot of ourselves)
I agree with the 5th beeing the "neediest", but you also act with your 1st to get the 5th "fulfilled".
Yeah. The whole axis thing.

Can you give examples?
hmmm... I'll get back to you on that. The first thing that comes to mind though is ExTps.
