Emotion
The "emotion" aspect includes interactions such as expressing feelings with others, acknowledging or ignoring emotions, and the ability to share personal experiences. It also entails genuine self-expression and one's capacity for empathy. An individual's emotional placement can greatly influence their enjoyment of poetry and fine art, tastes in film and music, and awareness of others' reactions.
Placements
First Emotion
For individuals with 1E, the most intense experiences are tied to their emotions. They often feel emotions at a heightened level, whether it's joy, anger, or sadness. Their emotions are vivid and powerful, guiding their lives. Whether alone or with others, they can experience their emotions fully, and sometimes express them freely without concern for others' approval. They have an innate sense that if someone doesn't share their feelings, they can read them, and they are willing to adjust their emotional boundaries as needed. The emotions 1E displays in moments of passion or anger often don't resonate with the person who triggered them. These feelings are significant to 1E on their own, and they express them for their own sake, leaving others as mere observers. When they share their emotions, 1E genuinely believes in them, but they can quickly detach from those feelings just as fast as they arise. Despite the intensity of their emotions, 1E doesn't aim for prolonged emotional expression; their focus is on achieving a result. However, their emotional expressions can appear as a process, filled with various feelings that may shift rapidly over time. 1E expression can take many forms, including theater, art, photography, poetry, music, or just tears and laughter. Emotions guide their decisions—whether in relationships, business, purchases, or living choices—leading to quick, intense responses influenced by external factors. They may ask insensitive questions or make hurtful comments without feeling the need to apologize. To mature, they must learn to manage these feelings.
Second Emotion
2E individuals provoke reactions and encourage action in others. They express emotions appropriately, adapting quickly to changes, showcasing their skill in emotional transformation. A key strength of 2E is their mastery of language, using words for both praise and criticism effectively. They know how to engage and please, using emotions as a tool for influence. 2E individuals collect stories, poems, and songs, constantly engaging with various artistic expressions. They possess a wide range of moods, sharing them to connect with others rather than for personal experience. They enjoy singing and dancing for an audience, often memorizing poems to evoke reactions. 2E gauge their emotional expressions based on others' responses, fostering emotional dialogue and being attentive to the feelings of those around them. They typically avoid offending others unless absolutely necessary, and when someone is feeling down, they naturally want to offer support and encouragement. Highly attuned to the emotional states of those around them, 2E individuals may even neglect their own feelings while focusing on helping others, finding fulfillment in this selflessness. Often regarded as the "soul of society," they contribute to an emotional atmosphere that can be both joyful and melancholic. 2E individuals have a deep-seated need for love—both to give and receive—and this desire is a constant in their lives. While their behavior may sometimes come across as artificial or overly sweet, they are generally very charming people.
Third Emotion
3E embodies a duality: they seem emotionless but feel intensely inside. Though appearing indifferent, they struggle to express emotions. In relationships, they can seem distant, leaving partners confused. They desire intimacy but hide behind guardedness, shutting down quickly and reacting defensively. Their fear of rejection leads them to seek temporary relief in hedonism or work. For 3E, the hardest question is “How do you feel?”. They struggle to understand their emotions, expressing love but often second-guessing themselves. In seeking self-awareness, they may pursue music or acting careers. Their emotional expressions can seem unusual, but they have the capacity to grow. 3E individuals are reflective and find solace in nature, where they recharge alone. Their love for animals is often mutual, stemming from their challenges in expressing affection towards people. 3E typically forms connections with those who genuinely care for them, while overlooking those who do not. The main drawback of 3E is their reliance on protections of themselves, leading to unconscious and unrecognized manipulation. They distort situations, play the victim, and guilt-trip others, even when wrong. 3E seeks love declarations while avoiding emotional responsibility, valuing confessions only to mock them later. 3E possesses a natural sense of humor, often delivering sharp jokes and irony with a straight face. They appreciate subtle humor that brings out faint smiles and tend to downplay even significant events. Disliking excessive pathos, they prefer to express their emotions quietly, avoiding loud displays of feeling. Their speech is typically monotone and plain, with minimal facial expressions and gestures. Beneath their sarcasm, they long to gently appreciate the world.
Fourth Emotion
4E individuals express themselves in a calm and detached way. They don't feel compelled to share their emotions, as they don't find it valuable. When they love, they do so quietly, and if they experience pain, it remains internal. 4E individuals find it easier to align with their partner's emotional state rather than create their own emotional atmosphere. They don’t project their feelings onto others and can easily absorb the emotions around them. If left alone, they might overlook their own emotional state, focusing solely on their tasks. 4E can smile, compliment, joke, and even raise their voice when needed, but these expressions are temporary and fade quickly. They can adapt to any mood and integrate seamlessly into any team. They do not leverage emotions to influence others and are not interested in emotional discussions. They are indifferent to the feelings of others but do not intentionally cause harm. Their indifference can be felt, and they serve as impartial critics. Artists, writers, and composers will find a fair and appreciative response from them, as their lack of personal aesthetic preferences allows for objective criticism. During adolescence, they may engage in creative activities like dancing, poetry, and singing, but this typically fades, leading them to become calm and detached. While they usually do not create art themselves, they consume it as a medium and maintain a broad interest without strong artistic taste.
