The First function, Physics, gives confidence to FVEL in interacting with the material world. Chekhov is so confident in their right to own the world around them that they may not even notice it, but they will definitely notice when someone tries to deprive them of their right to own their property. For FVEL, their possessions can include not only objects, but also activities and people. At the same time, FVEL is not inclined to actively change anything in “their domain.” They often find that what they have is enough. However, if they feel that they lack something, they will use the simplest means to get what they need.
The Third function, Emotion, gives Chekhov emotional sensitivity despite their outwardly down-to-earth nature. FVEL can subtly feel other people’s emotions and has a high level of empathy, while also being reserved in expressing their own feelings. These qualities can make them a good diplomat or help them achieve self-realization in the arts. Material possessions for them are not just “for the sake of having them,” but also a means of calming themselves and feeling comfortable not only physically but also emotionally. However, the interaction between 1F and 3E has another side: Chekhov’s feelings affect their confidence in household matters. “If they do not love me here, is this my place?” – this is how Chekhov might think in an unpleasant situation. The question of “mine or not mine?” is important for FVEL, and, driven by their emotions, they will go in search of what they lack – “theirs.”
The Second function, Volition, gives Chekhov the desire to discuss plans, persuade, and agitate. It is both a need and the most active means of influence. Chekhov can influence not only others but also themselves during the process of Will, motivating themselves and possibly forgetting about discomfort caused by Emotion.
In general, for FVEL, Volition explains much: often, 2V perceives a situation as someone capable of doing something but simply not wanting to, and the task of 2V is to push them into action. For example, if someone objects to hugging FVEL, Chekhov might think that the person simply wants their desires to be taken into account (Volition), but they are not actually against the “hugging” (Emotion). The lack of emotional support (Emotion) can also be explained by the reluctance to provide it (Volition). If during persuasion the interlocutor expresses a categorical “no” or does not express themselves at all, Chekhov will feel uncomfortable: “Am I imposing myself? Am I not interesting to them?” And these questions already concern their 3E, which is very naive in terms of other people’s reactions.
The Fourth function, Logic, almost always stays in the background: it is much easier to ask someone than to think for themselves. Chekhov does not want to waste time figuring out information, so the source of knowledge must be reliable. Based on such motivations, FVEL seeks their authority in the field of knowledge. Since knowledge can be different, they can have several such authorities.
Chekhov is a soft, diplomatic AP-type. They are not inclined to criticize anyone in principle, on the contrary, they support the aspirations of others. Down-to-earth and simple, they can be unexpectedly sensitive and empathetic. They easily admit that they may misunderstand something, but it is extremely difficult to persuade FVEL in principle matters.
In order for you to create a more complete image of Chekhov, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the descriptions of their functions (1F, 2V, 3E and 4L), as well as their accentuations (1F, 2V, 3E and 4L).
