How much effort does it take to access all parts of your vocal range and vocal dynamics (i.e. soft, medium-loud, loud)? And what do you think about both of these aspects of your voice?

Not much effort to access all parts of your vocal range, but it feels somewhat unnatural to make your voice loud. You’re in your comfort zone when you’re singing softly.

Just a bit of effort to access all parts of your range, but it’s easy for you to produce your loud and high voice. Soft singing is less natural feeling for you than singing loudly.

Hardly any effort to access all parts of your vocal range, but you don’t have a particularly big range. And you prefer to keep your voice medium-loud (conversational loudness). Loud singing takes more effort and feels a little unnatural for you.
