About Rob Collopy
Rob, the founder of Attitudinal Psyche, is a personality expert, teacher, researcher, coach and leader in his field. Rob’s mission is to discover cutting edge patterns in human personality and transmit his findings to others in creative, innovative ways.
Rob began his journey in personality typology in 2012 while taking a deep dive into Jungian typology. He spent years researching, working with individuals and communities, and further developing a deeper understanding of cognitive patterns in the personality. He used his expertise in teaching and inspiring others to push new ways of exploring the depths of the personality and causal links between cognition and language usage.
Rob’s work spans across much of the internet, as he has distributed and gathered numerous rounds of surveys from the community to study the unique linguistic patterns that each cognitive type shows across multiple facets. Many of his ideas, charts, and descriptions are widely used in present-day understanding of cognitive typology.
Rob is bilingual, speaking both English and Spanish, and offers coaching in both languages. He has worked as an interpreter, and been a leader in business management while integrating his passion for personality typology in his professional life in the corporate world. Rob has completed numerous training courses in management skills, leadership, and business coordination. He incorporates all previous trainings and learned skills in his current ventures.
Attitudinal Psyche
Rob found “Syntax of Love” by Alexander Y Afanasyev in 2015, which described in depth a personality system called “psicosofya” that played an imperative role in the creation of Attitudinal Psyche. The little-known personality system in the English speaking world is sometimes referred to as “Psyche Yoga”. The core theory of Psyche Yoga became immediately fascinating to Rob, and he quickly had to understand how this theory played out over humanity at a base level.
The core theory of Psyche Yoga posited that humans have four essential mental functions (or aspects): emotion, logic, will, and physics. Furthermore, they spend their mental (or psychic) energy unequally towards the four modules of reality – creating four stairs and 24 possible types. Afanasyev further understood that unique dichotomies in attitude formed from this hierarchy of mental energy. The attitudinal dichotomies seemed to create a divide over the self versus others. This became a key part of how Attitudinal Psyche developed
Rob started researching, conducting surveys, and creating descriptions based on the responses in 2016. The research was centered around an individual’s attitude towards their own handling of the aspects versus their attitude towards how others handle the aspects. He quickly realized that although Afanasyev’s theory was remarkably brilliant, it was incomplete and needed further development and fine-tuning as more discoveries and details were unearthed. The feedback he received from individuals and resulting patterns in the findings were noteworthy. These numerous patterns were previously unwritten about by anyone, as most of the literature on the topic is theoretical, conjectural, and based on perceived patterns in personality rather than directly translated from data of what individuals say themselves about their types. This difference became imperative, because it set the stage for an accurate portrayal of attitudes that transcend the theoretical and represent something real: our fundamental attitudes.
Rob recognized that the most important part of his research was the focus on attitude, rather than how individuals personally organized their mental energy, as these attitudes were always present in the personality regardless of where they spent their energy. Although Attitudinal Psyche uses the same nomenclature (e.g., VFLE) as Psyche Yoga, the type descriptions, attitude relations, type relations, blockings, enneagram correlations, and research findings are all unique and set it apart from Afanasyev’s work. For this reason, Rob has named the system Attitudinal Psyche to reflect its specialized set of research and data that is ever evolving. Attitudinal Psyche types, and Psyche Yoga types should NOT be used interchangeably. However, this does not mean there are no similarities, nor should we ignore the links between the two systems, as they are important.
Rob has continued on from 2016 to present conducting research, working one-on-one with clients, and developing testing methods for Attitudinal Psyche. He has a strong interest in understanding how the types coalesce in relationships, friendships, work environments, and culture – and authored his first e-book “Intertype Relations” based on his findings.
Rob is excited to continue making discoveries and developing the theory further as time goes on.
Attitudinal psyche что это
LEVF is the most philosophical attitudinal psyche type. They are highly attuned to mathematical thinking and can easily apply principles they’ve gathered to society and human nature. LEVFs tend to focus heavily on how culture affects the human drive. They enjoy creating novel ideas and bringing order to chaotic information. Generally they remain quiet and observant in conversations which may lead them to appear shy and meek at first. This stereotype usually fades quickly as the LEVF will not stumble away from explaining their thought processes when prompted. LEVFs generally do not pay close attention to the physical world as their mind is too busy wandering in the possibilities of self-development through human relations and logical analyses. However, when the environment needs to be changed in order to progress, the LEVF will make quick work of what’s necessary.
1L – Confident Logic
LEVF is one of the most intellectually focused types. They love to pursue all systems of knowledge and gather as much information on whatever it is that’s inspiring them at the moment. LEVFs prefer to analyze and conceptualize all the things around them. They tend to strive for a universal ideal and dedicate their time gaining insight into whichever philosophies support this ideal. This type does not worry so much about their comforts as they see theoretical information as paramount. They do not put stock into money and indulgence in the physical world. They are truly searching for the philosophical “theory of everything”. For this reason, they are often interested in self-improvement.
2E – Flexible Emotion
LEVFs are keen on understanding the emotional rifts within a certain setting. This type is always willing to listen, empathize, and fully identify with whatever emotions others are conveying. They frequently refer back to prior experiences when theorizing how to classify new standards of interaction and generously share this information with those in need of emotional support. They’re great at describing situations and recalling all of the feelings, expressions, and thoughts of everyone who participated. There is always a focus on the purpose of an action or idea. No pattern escapes the mind of an LEVF. They do well at ignoring their own physical needs in order to be there for others, but easily take advice from those who notice this lack of attention to their environment.
3V – Insecure Volition
LEVFs are profoundly aware of the negative pitfalls that have plagued humanity and can fall into dark obsessions. They may tend to find fault in those who aggressively push their ideals and visions onto others. They can become combative and flighty if they are not given the proper space to ponder what it is they desire. LEVFs are extremely skeptical towards anyone who defines their identity without asking their opinion. They prefer to stay surrounded by those who aid in understanding their possible place in the world. They are firm believers of the saying, “Imagination decides everything.” Feelings of vulnerability, insignificance, dependence, and imperfection can invade their thoughts. At times, this may cause the LEVF to become misanthropic and remain on the outskirts of society. However, they are generally resilient and will continue to promote a positive emotional atmosphere and mindset, sometimes totally ignoring their insecurity towards their own volition.
4F – Unbothered Physics
LEVFs may abstain from worldly pleasures and comforts to maximize the attention they put into their inner logical world. The mind of an LEVF is constantly wandering and imagining so it’s easy for them to put objective reality on pause. They tend to have explored many different aspects of life and usually have something interesting to say about any subject except when it comes to all things physical. When they have a need or physical desire, they figure out the most efficient way to satisfy them. They prefer to quickly think of novel and timely ways to feel better and more in control of their body. They will take advice and pointers from others so long as they are not expected to waste too much energy in this realm. LEVFs prefer to use any nervous energy that crops up to decide what their responsibilities are, rather than how they look or feel physically.

Meh. I felt that a lot of the questions were worded oddly and repetitive when it came to what they were trying to ask. Some is a hit but any generalized description like this is going to have hits and misses, and the hits really werent enough for me to see myself really in this description overall/identify with it.
Its an interesting test though if they could just smooth it out a bit.

I spent more time deciphering what the hell they were trying to ask rather than what I wanted to answer.
Felt like I was trying to communicate with a toddler.

Uum. wut? This test was (mostly) wildly inaccurate but I expected as much from a test with such clumsily worded questions; honestly, the same question over and over » Should you believe in your/other people’s (x) is better if changed or in the moment.»
I am bored and felt like breaking it down a bit, as if anyone cares enough to read through it

Can openly refuse to conform to social norms in regards to their emotional state. Do not feel like they owe anyone any explanations on how they feel, though this does not stop them from explaining their emotions to others.
( Accurate. It’s not because I’m obstinate but because emotions are by definition illogical/irrational and therefore «are what they are.» No point in trying to rationalize nonsense.)
Trust their own intuition and sense of right and wrong – which is always involved in their worldview. Are guided by their inner intuitions about people and use this to deal with friendships and relationships. ( yep! Might sound crazy but my intuition about people has NEVER been wrong.)
Do not respond well to continuous questions of their feelings and constant attempts at redefining relationships. Can lead spiritual movements and guide others into new and uncharted emotional territories. Expect that others feel the same way as they do. Dislike to be constantly questioned or challenged about their emotions – will double down on said emotion. (See point 1)
Prefer to view relationships as static and are quick to change their mind if things sour too quickly on the other end. May obsess over certain kinds of art, music, or people. Are intensely and profoundly affected by emotional landscapes. Relate all incoming experiences into how they make them feel over many axes.

(Wut? Seriously, I odn’t understand what this is saying.)
*******************************************************************************************************************************

Enjoy being motivational and a leader – constantly updating and inviting feedback on how to improve. Naturally balance out obligations in life. Know how to calm down the anxiety of a room when the pressure to perform is on.Are always willing to listen to others’ life struggles.
(Stop! Stop! I can’t breathe! Nothing will put you on my shit list quicker than expecting me to sit and listen to your problems. I’m a doer, so even if I do care-and I do care about close friends- I will do everything in my power to solve the problem or cheer you up for a while but sitting around and whining-nu uh. Aint got the time.) \
Often want to discuss how to get things done and what has worked for them in the past. May prefer talking about *how* to improve rather than putting in the actual work.

You gotta bulldoze!» I’m an ENTJ who has heard «No!» more than most My strength is in knowing what I do and do not control and to adapt accordingly. Understanding what makes up one’s identity is important to getting what you want of people; you have to know and then offer what they really want.)
***************************************************************************
Can get pulled into religious zealotry and cult ideology as a place-marker for lack of assured logical thought. Worry about the meaning of life and existence. Prefer to check in with others rather than openly assert their opinions. ( Oh Lordy this could not BE anymore inaccurate!)

(Overall this one was pretty accurate but I think, only because of certain neurosis I developed as a kid; I neglected my health out of spite. Makes total sense. to a teenager but now I don’t know any different)
