When determining the Second function, pay attention to what a person provokes in others. The Second function is a player, provocateur, someone who wants to involve others in an activity that brings them pleasure.
Second Physics
The Second Physics provoke people to be uninhibited and reveal their true tastes. This can manifest itself both in the kitchen and in bed. For example, the currently popular story of Grey and Anastasia (“Fifty Shades of Grey”) is a typical example of the relationship between 2F and 3F. These are endless “teasing”, attempts to tempt someone to do something indecent, constant striving to touch, treat, and reveal the boundaries of sensual pleasures. The behavior of 2F is one big offering of oneself as a lover, nanny, masseur, and sports coach in one bottle.
Second Volition
The Second Volition provokes people to whine, and upon receiving it, admires them like a satisfied mother admires the whims of her child. Favorite activities include calming down people who are getting worked up and showing diplomacy to reconcile everyone within their field of vision. At the same time, they can ask a person about their plans and intentions for a long time and bore them with why it won’t work or why it’s not needed, and implore them to give up on them in favor of others that 2V considers more acceptable. Second Volition can inquire for a long time why you feel bad or what exactly you are dissatisfied with in your life, and persistently offer to think together about the solution.
Second Emotion
The Second Emotions provoke reactions and clarification of relationships. They encourage acting in other people. 2E, like 2L, often engage in trolling to get an interesting reaction from people, create a ticklish situation, awaken passions, and then extinguish them. They like to pull frankness out of people without promising anything in return. Often, their style of communication resembles endless flirting. “Seduce” someone to confess their love and then “remain friends” in a beautiful way – this is the favorite game of the Second Emotion.
Second Logic
The Second Logic provokes reflection and discussion. A person with 2L can ask tricky questions at a public speaking engagement or initiate a heated argument in the comments section. Often, they rightfully or wrongfully come across as a troll who mocks others’ foolishness. But in reality, 2L is not pleased with stupidity. On the contrary, they seek an interesting discussion with arguments and logical chains. Second Logics ask questions not to find an answer, but to hear someone else’s point of view and discuss it. They are disappointed with stubborn “square” interlocutors who do not enjoy thinking.
