What this type means
The Provisional Truster combines moderate extension with high verification — the "trust but verify" pattern. People get a chance, but the watching never fully stops until trust is upgraded. Common in people whose attachment system learned that trust is reasonable AND that it must be checked. Roughly 18–22% of the population.
In relationships
People feel given a chance — and they sense the test. Some thrive on it; others find it exhausting.
Watch for
Trust-while-watching is real trust only if you can actually relax. Otherwise it's surveillance with a friendly face.
The growth edge
Once someone's passed your provisional period, mark it explicitly: "I trust you on this — I'm not tracking it anymore." Otherwise the watch never ends.
