I feel like one of the best clarifications of Polarity/Polarization came from SlashChick in this thread

Every person in this world carries around a statement or picture in their heart that encompasses their main life goal. Normally when I read people I visualize it as a picture and then transform that into a statement that makes sense for them. <snip> My picture is me helping other people become enlightened. When I tell people the picture I see, along with my translation of their heart goal, they get it on a really fundamental level. The two goals above align significantly with positive polarization.

On the other hand, I did date recently a guy who was negatively polarized. His heart goal took me completely by surprise! The picture I saw was him standing on top of a mountain, by himself, proudly looking around and surveying the land, and knowing that he had climbed it all by himself. But there was no one else there, and that was what shocked me most, because most people's heart goals have other people in them. I explained this to him and he nodded, saying "I don't need anyone else." I said, "Isn't it lonely at the top of your mountain?" and he said "No, I'm happy." And oddly enough, he was. That's how negative polarization works.
