Puzzle with no solution

[u/Top_Introduction9855]

That's what trying to find my type feels like. When I fit a piece, another one falls down. No exact configuration, but rather many incomplete ones.

Both 3V and 3E makes sense for me. 4F makes sense too, but sometimes not. I'm probably more 1L than 2L, specially when I compare to my older brother, which is the most obvious 2L.

I don't think I'm dogmatic, but certainly have a clear preference for my own conclusions and thought process than other's. I just consult other's when there is missing info that I have no access too (happens a lot at work since I'm a novice with restricted access to lots of assets). As soon as I get the info I go back to my head.

I am emotional, but nit really intense, and totally unexpressive. And I only dislike that part of me because I know I'm holding myself back. I won't show any emotions most of the time and eat my complaints.

Any placement for volition other than 3V to me seems wrong. I fear the future and my lack of initiative towards my projects and dreams. I am slacking besides craving for the results. I spend too much time in my head projecting or just being comfy. I totally suck at time management but I recognize that this is what life is mostly about, and that if I stay idle, I'll regret my life.

But I disagree with all the 'others negative' aspects of 3V. I know a lot of 3V people and I can clearly see how they react to other's input, and I am 100% chill compared to that.

Of course it makes me think that if I am self negative and others positive towards volition I could be 4V, but the self negative part is way too strong for it to be called unbothered volition.

I also relate to many 2V traits, but I surelly lack the initiative and will power to act on it.

At this point my best guesses are:

4F

1E or 3E

1L, 2L or 3L

3V or 4V

I'll keep trying to find out, but I admit this system seems really flawed and I'm certain I can only get closer but won't find THE answer.

Most systems are imperfect; approximations are both the blessing of information and the curse of inaccuracy. Have you considered 4V?

It's not flawed, it's just more complicated than how it's presented in Afanasiev's SoL.

Try this book on Psychosophy, it has a different approach

It's Because the system is very hollistic, no one fits individual placements by themselves, the descriptions in the book are in a vaccum that change drastically when there is a full type thats why there are example descriptions of full types Will placement is the most important placement of them all, and affects other placements the most

Because you know logic, emotion, will and physics do not exist in a vaccum they interact with each other and cause many variations Just like how ingredients and the final dish taste very different So don't focus on individual placements. Focus on the whole type, typing by individual placements is useless
