Yes, I agree, the 1E sounds like a bit much. But maybe that's just the 3E reaction to the 1E. But anyway, I try to avoid reacting emotionally to that excess. I'm not what you call dramatic. Occasionally I might overreact but it's when I've been under too much stress, so it explodes and then I regret reacting that way.
2E on the other hand is mostly appropriate in their emotional reactions. Not too excessive nor too dry. The way it should be.
Also the descriptions are a bit stereotypical because it's like that person is exclusively that way 100% of the time. Which no one is.
Let's just say, I try to incorporate everyone's ideas and needs but I don't know how good I am at it. And sometimes if someone is being a bit unreasonable and a bit of an asshole, I don't care to incorporate that person's wants and needs. I just want that person out of my face. Sometimes its not possible to incorporate everyone's needs when the needs directly oppose one another. Or maybe you can meet them both but not at the same time.
I work a customer service oriented job in the library and I run into this problem all the time. For example- someone wants a place where they can go where they can carry a quiet conservation because there is a study group that meets. Then someone else wants *absolute quiet* no talking or background noise at all. Well we do have study rooms but even with the door shut, the sound can carry. Or when someone wants to be able to extend the checkout period or number of renewals on their items because they want more time. Then someone else complains that the wait lists are too long and the library doesn't own enough copies when the library cannot afford to purchase any more.
Ideally everyone would be satisfied but sometimes it's just not possible and for me its stressful when you try to meet the needs of people with conflicting agendas and try to smooth out conflicts. It's why I feel like I'm not very good at doing this.
Regarding potential in others. I see peoples' potential but I don't know how good I am at bringing that out. I see it more as their responsibility I guess- whether or not they want to utilize their potential. I guess it's kind of sad when people have alot of potential and choose not to use it. But I don't really see myself as a developer of others or even quite sure how to go about doing that. But if someone asks for my assistance with a specific question, I'll try best to help.
Well I am very introverted. I guess in a way I use the functions mostly for myself. My needs are first and foremost but I'm always aware that other people have needs too.
I will put in the time/effort for physical things to some extent but I don't enjoy the process usually and if I can find a way to make it more efficient, all the better. I know I have to eat but I hardly ever cook and when I do it's something I just pop in the microwave. Or if someone else doesn't mind doing the physical work, I'll let them do it. Like assembling something or cooking.
Anyway, regarding 4V description:
[4V] Fourth Willpower: Very compliant and reliable.
---Yes! Often complimented and praised by others for that.
Puts harmony over their own desires which makes them easy to get along with,
----Very often do this. It depends on how badly I want to achieve my desires. If I want something bad enough, I might be willing to fight for it risking harmony but for most everyday things, I will either give in to someone elses desires or find a way to attain it that wouldn’t compromise harmony. Generally I’m very easy to get along with.
as they generally will adjust to the wishes of others, creating a positive relation to them while avoiding conflict.
---Yes, I hate conflict and highly value positive relations with others.
Good at giving new experiences and endeavours a chance.
---Usually.
Very dependent on others and are often indecisive, making them unable to make their own choices.
---This is where I start to not relate to the description. I’m highly independent and prefer to do things on my own when I can. I can sometimes be indecisive but its not because I’m unable to make their own choices. I prefer to make my own choices. I just want to make sure I’m making a good decision over the long term and make sure that what decision is made will not cause upset or harm to anyone.
Somewhat irresponsible and will actively avoid positions of responsibility at all times if possible.
---No! I’m very responsible. If I’m accountable for something, I will admit to it and not just shift it to someone else. I often find myself taking on various positions of responsibility but usually not more than I could reasonably handle.
And now for 4
th Logic description:
[4L] Fourth Logic: Open to different points of view and explanations, and using the logic of others to understand their own life without necessarily being personally committed to a point of view or model of explanation.
---Yes, usually.
Likewise able to cut short a conversation or discussion if clear answers are not being driven from it.
---Yes, it’s annoying when people can’t quickly get to the point or give me a bunch of extraneous irrelevant information. I try to be polite though when I’m in such conversations and hide my annoyance but I will gently try to bring it back to the main point.
Intellectually dependent and can need the guidance of others to figure things out.
---Yes and no. I hate the phrase ‘intellectually dependent.’ Of course I’m capable to figure things out on my own if I really want to. I’m not stupid. It’s more a matter of, is it really worth the time and effort to do so? If someone is regarded as an expert in an area I’m not and it’s an area of not much personal interest for me, it’s going to be faster and more efficient to just consult that expert. Sometimes I enjoy the challenge of trying to figure it out on my own because I get great personal satisfaction from being able to solve it on my own. It all depends on the situation.
May present claims without the necessary reason or rationalizations behind them, as they deem these of lesser importance.
---Maybe occasionally I end up doing that out of laziness. Normally, I think it’s important to make claims that actually have sound backing and logical rationale behind them. I am interested in the reasons or rationale behind any claims. I am skeptical when there isn’t a good reason or rationale.
May base their knowledge on trusted authorities rather than who has the better arguments.
---It depends. If it’s an area where I lack knowledge, I may not know enough about the area to even know what would be considered a ‘good’ vs. a ‘bad’ argument, so I end up just trusting the authorities. But for any other other area where I at least have a passing level of knowledge, I start to question the authorities, to weigh their arguments against mine and those of other people. Just because someone is a labeled an ‘authority’ does not necessarily make that person more right.
Yeah I do, don't I?
My greatest sensitivity is probably emotional sensitivity though. I often find my body and my feelings working together. If I'm physically uncomfortable it can strongly affect my emotional mood. If I'm emotionally upset or at unease, I can start to feel it physically in my body. Strong emotional conflicts can actually make me ill, physically.
With logic, I think maybe it's just more of an annoyance when things are a bit ambiguous or not consistent.
With willpower it's a bit more complicated, Se is my PoLR, so I am hypersensitive to feeling pressured or having my will imposed upon or worried that maybe I'm too imposing myself. Although I haven't entirely ruled out 3V as a possibility for myself.
