BIO · L / R
How you process information
When you take in information and decide, what do you trust first?
Looking at the same information, some people check the evidence and the order of things, while others judge by the overall flow and how it feels. The L/R axis looks at whether your judgment starts from analysis or from intuition.
LLogic

RRight-brain
Judges by the overall flow, the mood, and gut feeling.

- Looks at the big picture and possibilities before the details
- Starts doing it and finds the method along the way

How you handle risk
In an uncertain situation, do you protect what you have or go after something new?

ARC · F / W
How you express energy
Do you voice your thoughts and feelings right away, or listen first and adjust?
Energy flows outward in different shapes. Some people show it at once and lead from the front, like fire; others take things in first and move with the current, like water. The F/W axis looks at how that shows up in conversation, conflict, and teamwork.
FFire
Shows thoughts and feelings at once and leads conversations and work from the front.

WWater

ARC · E / A
Where you place value
Does satisfaction come from visible results, or from the process and its meaning?
