Will
The "will" aspect, also commonly referred to as "volition," includes qualities that influence our intentions in achieving desires and goals. People with different will placements approach their intentions uniquely. Depending on its position in the PY-type model, an individual may help others, request help, emphasize shared responsibility, or focus on personal goals. Additionally, the will aspect impacts decision-making, determining if a person acts independently or seeks advice.
Placements
First Will
1V has a strong sense of self and believes they are entitled to shape the world according to their vision. Since childhood, they’ve seen themselves as “chosen,” which influences their actions and gives them a reputation for high integrity. They often make decisions for others, interpreting silence as agreement while resisting authority themselves, feeling too privileged to follow anyone. 1V are masters of their destiny, embodying harmony between word and deed. Yet, their chosen status can distort their personality, imposing rigid standards on themselves. This leads to a life of self-torture where control dominates, leaving no room for weaknesses or relaxation. Anything that disrupts this routine is discarded. They crave power in every situation, and losing it drives them to restore it by any means. A permanent loss can shatter them. While they may condemn others' power, they wield it just as authoritatively once they gain it. Overly confident, they believe they can do anything, which can lead to failure. They bounce back from setbacks, driven by loyalty to their people, but often overlook the true needs of those around them. Experiencing deep jealousy, they desire to possess the essence of those they influence. Often seen as careerists, they shift focus to excel elsewhere when opportunities diminish, possibly leading to significant life changes. 1V clearly states their interests and can be effective subordinates if they choose to be. They value their importance over any boss and would leave rather than compromise their interests. For goals, 1V may compromise on ethics, justifying norm violations when needed, and will push through any challenges to succeed.
Second Will
2V can lead and follow effortlessly, ideally seeking a balance where ruling or obeying isn't necessary. They aim for consensus, believing in shared decision-making with the motto, "I am in charge—but we will decide together." With strength and flexibility, they can assert their values while respecting others' perspectives. Open and genuine, 2V express themselves naturally, embrace humor about their flaws, and acknowledge mistakes without hesitation, recognizing everyone's right to error. Indifferent to others' opinions, they trust only their closest allies' and own judgment. They focus on their business, whether work or family, viewing it as a joint project to defend. With a strong sense of duty and loyalty, they value inner freedom and independence, retaining their individuality even within organizations. 2V individuals are natural guardians of morality and order, believing that everyone should be treated equally under the law. Their role is to support a society often shaken by ambition, standing firm and ready to help when needed. They may ask someone about their plans and intentions, then gently explain why those goals may not be achievable and encourage them to consider more acceptable alternatives. They also want to understand your dissatisfaction and insist on collaborating to find a solution. Indifferent to fame, they may shy away from the spotlight despite their talents. Ultimately, 2V people seek complete self-realization.
Third Will
3V struggles with self-doubt and feels overwhelmed by the world. Judgments from others deeply affect them; therefore, they hide and mask their flaws. They possess an envy that extends to anyone who excels, sometimes provoking hostility when achievements are flaunted. The duality of 3V is that they feel both insignificant and great, often seeking validation from others and themselves. They struggle to connect with others, feeling dissatisfied and viewing the world as cruel. This leads them to believe that others don't like or respect them. Often, they take offense where none is intended, interpreting comments as personal attacks. 3V focuses on protecting themselves from perceived wounds, often analyzing others' reactions, which drains their energy for genuine interests. They may seem loyal but can quickly change allegiance if needed. Lying serves as a defense mechanism, helping them cope with sensitivity to public opinion. Admitting guilt feels like admitting insignificance, complicating matters of forgiveness. The 3V worldview is hierarchical, dictating whom to flatter. They desire power but lack the strength to claim it, remaining too weak to rule yet too strong to be ruled. Natural actors, 3V individuals switch personas and observe others for gossip. They highlight flaws with sharp insights and biting wit, struggle with responsibility, and often break promises, leading to distrust. Constantly seeking self-discovery, they adjust their self-perception based on circumstances, motivated by exploring new roles. 3V individuals thrive in crowds, blending in without pressure. They often join groups, with their creativity influenced by trends and others' opinions. Focusing on self-development refines their Will, enhancing sensitivity to others while reducing negative emotions.
Fourth Will
4V individuals struggle to identify their own desires and blend their needs with others. Indifferent to societal status, they maintain a harmonious presence through kindness. While they usually avoid leadership, they can adapt, though leading those with a stronger Will is challenging. If they become leaders, it's usually because a boss sees them as loyal allies. 4V are deeply loyal to those they care about, and once committed, remain steadfast in their behavior. Without support, they feel restless, and if a trusted person leaves, they may initially cling to their values but will eventually seek new connections. The 4V often adopt others' values in conversations, prioritizing understanding over their own opinions. They aim to please, which can make them seem overly polite. Lacking a strong core, 4V individuals shift between groups, leading to rapid changes in their values and a feeling of instability in decision-making. They prefer to adapt to existing structures and will quietly move on from unacceptable situations, waiting for the right moment to act independently without confrontation. They lack a sense of personal self-preservation, allowing them to openly share their thoughts and experiences, inviting judgment from others. Their mentality is remarkably stable; despite life's challenges, they remain resilient, starting anew with a trusting smile. 4V easily forget grievances and forgive others, even after severe pain. They tend to not remember bad experiences. Although they may attempt to be proud or vindictive to adapt to others, their true nature is to forgive and forget. A slight scratch to their pride reveals a soft, responsive heart, always ready to trust again.
