Attitudinal Psyche is a personality system that theorizes all individuals have a set structure of fundamental attitudes that define their disposition. This disposition is categorized among four main aspects of reality: Volition (V), Logic (L), Physics (F), and Emotion (E). Although the positions are numbered, this does not indicate their aptitude or strength – but rather how much mental energy we are willing to dedicate to each. There are four positions: confident, flexible, insecure, and unbothered, in order of appearance. What is in the confident position is viewed positively within the self and negatively in others, while what is in the unbothered position is viewed negatively in the self and positively in others.
Volition: decision-making, energy, willpower, desires, planning, direction, goals, identity, power, purpose, esteem
Logic: truth-seeking, facts, data rationale, reasoning, argumentation, calculations, categorizations, systems, proofs
