I wouldn't want to brand an entire type as "lazy", that's not only typism but confusion over cause and effect. I realize there are trends of course - types vs concrete traits - but that's not the same
Anyway.. this stability topic, the main problem with it is that you say PoLR's don't like a desire for stability in others, while the theory also says that PoLR types do not want uncertainty and thus they can often prefer stability. Much like MBTI SJ types. And then, if you consider that the theory says that PoLR's are actually the duals of Si PoLR's, this idea of yours about PoLR doesn't check out. If you can resolve that issue then by all means do so... I'm willing to hear you
PoLR's aren't afraid of instability, they express displeasure in conceptual instability, as in the presence of an extremely over-complicated system that is forcing the xSI to acknowledge it, where there is no grounding or anchor to save them from the sea of possibilities. PoLRs are actually relatively good at dealing with instability, considering they have , a function oriented toward physical instability and exactly what is happening before their eyes and the environment they perceive (which is why is considered instinctual and raw sometimes, as it allows the user to intuitively adapt to the situation before their eyes physically). What PoLR's don't like about instability is the presence of too many options, where their can't find something to latch onto to give them perspective of the situation (as they typically rely on the option that, in a way, feels right or lines in accordance with perceived reality or evidence). The reason why PoLR's and PoLR's typically get along is due to the natural un-valuing of both of those functions, to where the xIE's despise those who strive for stability in the physical environment and order for the sake of comfort (instead of efficiency) and the xSI's despise those who over-complicate situations without any direct physical evidence to do so. They find value in each other because they can strengthen the / axis, where physical data is the source of all theories so that reasonably provable implications can be found.
You can tell the difference between the Role Function and the Vulnerable Function based on how you receive criticism to it.
When the role function is criticized, it is perceived as a personal weakness that needs to be worked on and that the criticism is somewhat fair.
When the vulnerable function is criticized, it is perceived as ridiculous to call you out on and unfair, something that you wish could just go away on its own.
Furthermore, the Role function is typically going to be something you are painfully aware of to the point where it is a source of worry when entering situations where it may be necessarily used (which can be the case of the vulnerable function as well, but in a different light*)
The Vulnerable function is typically going to be something you aren't cognizant of and are extremely neglecting of, where the only places you'll expect it is when you know that the information or tasks will be presented to you.
*The Vulnerable function will typically be a source of worry when you know that the occasion or task you must do will call for it specifically, otherwise, this honor is usually left to the Role Function.
