Mode of Intake

Recoiling

Experimental
(Nonacceptance + Affective Gravity + Moment Binding)

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 + Moment Spanning)

What comes in is let in and carried for a long time. Impressions accumulate instead of discharging, and strain is borne quietly, sometimes turned inward. They hold what a group cannot process all at once.

Easygoing

Experimental
(Acceptance + Affective Buoyancy + Moment Binding)

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 + Moment Spanning)

One's own person comes first and is cultivated over the long run. Appearance, health and standing get steady attention, information is shared on a need-to-know basis, and outside judgment weighs little. Private aims are pursued calmly, and criticism is put down to envy.
