Mode of Intake

Recoiling

Experimental
(Nonacceptance + Affective Gravity + Letting Go)

What comes in is felt at full strength and pushed back at once. Intrusion and falseness register sharply, and good and bad admit no compromise. They are the immediate alarm that tells a group something is unacceptable.

Absorbing

Experimental
(Acceptance + Affective Gravity + Carrying Over)

Whatever arrives is taken in without resistance and kept, so experience deepens with time instead of passing. Strain is borne quietly rather than returned. They hold what a group cannot process all at once.

Easygoing

Experimental
(Acceptance + Affective Buoyancy + Letting Go)

What comes in is accepted lightly and left behind. Reality is taken as it is, any settled situation can be adapted to, and the common mood is easily joined. Their buoyancy keeps a group sure that a way out exists.

Self-Regarding

Experimental
(Nonacceptance + Affective Buoyancy + Carrying Over)

One's own person comes first and is cultivated over the long run. Outside judgment weighs little, what one knows is shared sparingly, and private aims are pursued with calm confidence. Criticism slides off rather than settling.
