Are there examples in the different octants suggested by this? In particular, is there an example of something automatic, but slow and effortful?

This is what I was curious about as well. The other "weird" octant, manual, fast, easy, seems to be populated by the fact that we can feed things from system 2 to system 1 to simulate. Automatic, but slow and effortful seems like it is "system 1 feeding system 2 things." WHich again brings to mind math, but maybe processing of emotional experiences as well.

fast-effortful seems implausible?

Trying to balance on one foot?

Applying social intelligence in high-pressure situations? (As in "How do I keep Dad from killing me when I tell him I just destroyed the car?")

Acting? (As in stage and film acting.) You have to "fake" various subtle signals people aren't usually consciously aware of.
