Contrary to common beliefs, the First Volition does not make its owner a tyrant, nor does it always help them achieve any goals they set (although such manifestations may be present in 1V, but that is not the essence of this aspect).
First and foremost, 1V is about the freedom to be oneself on the one hand, and the connection to one’s decisions on the other. We all know that the Third Function in psychosophy is ambivalent, but to some extent, this also applies to the First function. Thus, 1F is under the yoke of their physical urges and dependencies, 1E – under the yoke of their feelings and experiences, and 1L – dependent on their own opinion and perception of the world. 1V, however, is not free from their own desires, which they identify with their “I”. For 1V, giving up what they want is equivalent to ceasing to be themselves.
In fact, this is what sets ones apart from twos. Second functions do not tend to attach as much importance to their aspect, so their self-expression is free and natural. It can be said that 1V is 2V infused with a sense of self-importance. This is why they strive for power and self-assertion. The First Volition needs not only to remain true to themselves, not to deviate from their essence and their true desires (and 1V does not have a problem determining their true desires, unlike 3V), but also to be an imperative for the surrounding world. It is impossible to impose one’s desire on 1V or dissuade them from something, but if the First Volition wants to make you do something, there is a good chance they will find a way to do so. Moreover, this will not always be direct pressure, as it depends on the sociotype (for example, Zhukov uses pressure and his authority, Napoleon uses a mix of pressure and persuasion, trying to “please” you to achieve their goal; Don Quixote and Robespierre will be inventive and find an unexpected solution, Huxley uses connections, Jack will make a plan based on how similar goals were achieved by others and will follow it; Hamlet will manipulate ethically, Yesenin will choose a convenient moment, and so on).
The main point is why Volition in psychosophy is confused with the aspect of Fe in socionics. Pressure relates to Fe, and a person can show it from any function – both the Leading, Role and Suggestive ones. On the other hand, unbreakable self-confidence (not demonstrative) is quite an accurate indicator of the 1V. Of course, the 3V can also pretend to be self-confident, but their self-esteem can always be questioned in one way or another. With 1V this is impossible.
Because it is impossible for the 1V to give up their desire and they wholeheartedly strive for its realization, a way to achieve it is almost always found. As they say, who seeks will find. Therefore, the statements of 1V that so irritate 3V, that if you want to, you will find a way to achieve it, are not groundless and are based on their own positive experience.
In addition, First Volitions are devoid of a sense of guilt for their actions, they perceive their essence (and therefore their actions and desires that led to them) as a given. They make good leaders because they are not prone to complexes due to the discrepancy between themselves and the position they occupy, and therefore artificially create a fuss around themselves. On the contrary, they enthusiastically take responsibility for the common cause and practically identify it with themselves.
