the vices, fixations, harmonic groups, defense mechanisms and stress modes of the types

[malignantwench]

Since I can understand that it can be hard to figure out what type you are based purely on the basic fear and basic motive.


Vices:
1) Wrath is an energy that arises in service of correcting things that don’t match an internalized sense of rightness. It can be noticed in the form of criticism of things not being done correctly.

2) Pride is a self-inflated feeling of importance in the lives of others, coming from a feeling of being needed or indispensable in some way. Often it arises out of the belief that I have no needs but am able to satisfy the needs of others.

3) Deceit is a packaging of oneself in order to successfully sell oneself to others. The authentic self aside from the packaging is often lost in the image produced by the presentation.

4) Envy notices how others have what I don’t because others are more capable than I am. It’s a comparison of the positive in others with the negative in the self.

5) Avarice is a greed for time and space to process the world through the intellect. It’s a response to a world that can seem at times intrusive, chaotic, and overwhelming.

6) Fear is often a generalized mistrust of what and how others are thinking. This may be allayed by a questioning in search of certainty or an action that confronts the perceived fear.

7) Gluttony of the mind is a desire to taste life in all its offerings. The mind imagines an endless stream of appealing possibilities with the challenge of how to experience them all with limited time.

8) Lust is one of pursuing intensity or honesty of experience that feels more real and energizing. For others this intensity is often felt as too much, requiring the type 8 to sit on the energy so as not to overwhelm others.

9) Sloth is an inertia seeking and maintaining comfort, averse to conflict and disruption. It’s losing oneself in routines or activities that allow one to just be without having any goals to strive for or expectations to meet.

Fixations:
1) Resentment comes from feeling an obligation to do the right thing while others seem to get away with shirking that responsibility.

2) Flattery represents the tendency to pay compliments or special attention to others in order to manipulate oneself into their favour.

3) Vanity places great emphasis on one’s appearance, qualities, abilities, achievements in order to feel validated.

4) Melancholy surrounds a lack of emotional fulfillment that longs for what isn’t and disparages what is.

5) Stinginess hoards resources and minimizes needs in an attempt to compensate for a world that seems to take more than it gives.

6) Cowardice is the tendency to succumb to or challenge fears or doubts that arise from an uncertain mind.

7) Planning lives in future anticipation of more enjoyable alternatives to boring, uncomfortable, painful, or limiting situations.

8) Vengeance experiences the world as taking advantage of the vulnerable and a reminder to stand strong and assertive against it.

9) Indolence arises from the negation or forgetfulness of one’s own agenda in order to go along with the agenda of others.
