Description of the First Logic

As it is known, holders of unconscious Logic do not tend to engage in lengthy discussions or prove anything (for instance, because of this, one unconscious Logic can be easily mistaken for another, especially 1L can seem like 4L). As those with this Logic value not the process of reasoning itself, but knowledge, they rely not so much on their own deductions, but on information acquired through their own experience or provided by some professional in their field.

In the case of a 1L holder, a typical response to any dispute would be that they have no opinion on the topic at hand because they are not competent in the relevant area. However, if a First Logic holder believes they have enough understanding of the topic, they will present their opinion not as a subjective view, but as an indisputable fact that does not require special evidence. As a result, any argument with a 1L is doomed to never start or, if it does, to end immediately.

All types with the First Logic are very laconic in conversation and do not like to say unnecessary words. It is not so easy to persuade them of anything, but they themselves are inclined to impose their opinion and view of the world on others. Like all subjective functions, 1L is weakly influenced because they prefer to form their own beliefs independently. First Logics strive for stability in their views, so before accepting any new knowledge, they first check and ponder it for a long time. In principle, no 1L likes to change their beliefs unnecessarily.

In the process of seeking new useful knowledge, First Logics are more inclined to use books, articles, and other resources rather than obtaining information directly from other people. This is because information provided by a person without the corresponding education and experience is inherently mistrusted by 1L.

It is important to note that each holder of the First Logic is stubborn in their own way, but at the same time, they do not want to devote their attention to convincing others. Often, if their point of view is not accepted by the interlocutor at first, a 1L holder will prefer to “agree to disagree,” stepping away from the conversation, sincerely believing that sooner or later life will teach them how things really are.
