A type, a number, a quadra, a trait, an attitude: each is how attention is shaped. The spiral is which life condition that attention is serving. The manual is what a clinic names when the same attention inconveniences the group. This page holds all three, so they stay one account and not three religions.
Each of these can visit any station. What follows is a common capture: the way a strength defends a color until the color is the whole world. Use it as a mirror, not a verdict. The sixty-four subtypes are not given their own rows. A variant is another study of the same type, not a different station.
Models, principles, long views, systems that hold.
Integrity edge. Let a living exception into the model. Let the model serve a person who will not improve it.
Meaning, identity, potential in people, the inner story.
Integrity edge. Tell a hard truth that costs belonging. Keep a self that can be alone without abandoning care.
Continuity, duty, memory, the kept promise.
Integrity edge. Let the form serve the life it was built for. Allow a change that is not a threat to order.
Presence, skill in the moment, freedom, the body's yes.
Integrity edge. Stay long enough for a promise to mean something. Freedom that returns and tells what it learned.
The number is the strategy of attention. The station is what that strategy is currently serving. A Seven can sit in any color. What follows is the capture that strategy falls into without noticing.
A quadra is four types who value the same information. It is not a people you are required to prefer. The capture is what happens when those values are the only ones allowed with other people. Model A, not a translation of the sixteen.
Not a type. A high score is not a station. It is a tendency that makes one station feel like home and the others feel like a moral failure.
The first aspect is the one the person will not be talked out of. That confidence is what captures a station. The third aspect is where the station can shame them. Twenty-four orders exist. The position is the part that meets the color.
The same differences, read by the manual instead of by a station. There is no validated map from any of these systems to a DSM diagnosis. The chart is the misfile: the diagnosis a group reaches for when a style will not sit, will not perform feeling, or will not call a hard year a personality. The essay, the funding, and the drugs are on Dogma. This is not an instruction to start or stop a medicine.
Read across. The left column is the filing. The other columns are the types a clinic, a school, a parent, or a forum walks into it. Attitudinal psyche is given as a position, not all twenty-four orders. 1 is confident, 3 is insecure, 4 is unbothered. V will, L logic, E emotion, F the body. Big Five is a trait pattern, not a type. The sixty-four subtypes are not here. A variant is not a different filing. Tritype is not here. It is three of the Enneagram numbers already listed.
| The filing | What is being renamed | Sixteen | Enneagram | Instinct | Socionics | Big Five | Attitudinal psyche |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ADHD, the loud form | A perceiving mind and a body that will not sit in a dead class. Many starts. The week is loud. The clinic names a deficit of attention. Often what is missing is a reason to stay. | ENTP, ENFP, ESTP, ESFP | 7, 8, and the busy 9 who never reaches the thing they meant to do | Sexual, then self-preservation. The charge, or the body, will not wait. | ILE, IEE, SLE, SEE | High extraversion, high openness, low conscientiousness | 1F, 4F, 3V |
| ADHD, the quiet form | The task loses to an inner line. The person is with other people and not on the assignment. Called inattentive. Often it is attention pointed somewhere the form does not count. | INTP, INFP, INTJ, ISFP | 5, 4, 9 | Self-preservation neglected, or social attention spent on the wrong hierarchy. | LII, ILI, IEI, EII | Low conscientiousness, high openness, extraversion not required | 3F, 4F, 1L |
| Autism, the wide net | System over small talk. A particular sensory world. Few bids for the group mood. What used to be called Asperger's is now folded into one spectrum and handed out widely. A precise mind is not a failed social performance. | INTJ, INTP, ISTJ, ISTP | 5, 1, 6 | Self-preservation, and social when the rules of the group are studied from outside. | LII, ILI, LSI, SLI | Low extraversion. Openness and conscientiousness can sit at either extreme. | 1L, 4E, 3E |
| Bipolar II, cyclothymia | A fast week, many projects, a crash when the group goes quiet. Intensity is read as an episode. A slump after a real effort is read as the other pole. | ENTP, ENFP, ESFP, ENFJ | 7, 4, 3 | Sexual. The charge is mistaken for a cycle. | EIE, IEE, SEE, ILE, IEI | High extraversion, high openness, high neuroticism | 1E, 1V, 2E |
| Depression | The day has gone flat, or a feeling has nowhere to go, and the clinic names the person instead of the life. Grief, a dead job, and a winter are not automatically a disease. Sometimes the mood is the accurate report. | INFP, INFJ, ISFP, ISFJ | 4, 9, 1 | Self-preservation, when the body goes offline. Social, when belonging drops. | IEI, EII, SEI, ESI | High neuroticism, low extraversion | 3E, 3V, 4V |
| Generalized anxiety | The future is scanned before it arrives. The scan is the strategy of a head type, or of a gut type who converted the alarm into a standard. Named a disorder when the culture has no use for a person who will not relax on command. | ISTJ, INFJ, INTJ, ISFJ | 6, 1 | Self-preservation and social. Safety, and one's standing. | LSI, ESI, LII, EII | High neuroticism, high conscientiousness | 3L, 3F, 1L |
| Social anxiety | The group costs more than it returns. Withdrawal is renamed a phobia. Often the person is accurate about the group. | INFP, INFJ, INTP, ISFP, ISFJ | 5, 9, 4, 6 | Social. The group is the threat and the missing piece. | LII, IEI, EII, SEI | Low extraversion, high neuroticism | 3E, 3V, 4E |
| OCD | A loop that will not close. Doubt, or a standard, acted out where the body can check it. The ritual is the visible part of a fixation that was already mental. | ISTJ, INTJ, INFJ, INTP | 1, 6, 5 | Self-preservation. The check is on the body, the lock, the list. | LSI, LII, ESI, ILI | High neuroticism, high conscientiousness | 1L, 3L |
| Obsessive-compulsive personality | Duty without rest. The procedure has become the person. The culture asked for this, then called it a disorder when the person would not also be flexible and charming. | ISTJ, ESTJ, INTJ | 1, 6, 3 | Self-preservation, then social. The role and the standard. | LSI, LSE, LII | High conscientiousness, low openness | 1L, 1V, 1F |
| Borderline | Intensity, fear of being dropped, a self that moves when the bond moves. The reactive group, renamed. Real abandonment-terror exists. So does a temperament that was never going to be even. | ENFP, INFJ, ENFJ, ESFP | 4, 6, 8, 2 | Sexual. The one bond is the whole weather. | EIE, ESI, SEE, IEI | High neuroticism, low agreeableness | 3E, 1E, 3V |
| Narcissistic | Force, image, or certainty that will not kneel. A clinic, or an enemy, reads confidence as a deficit of other people. Cruelty is not a type. Neither is a straight spine. | ENTJ, ESTJ, ENTP, ENFJ | 3, 8, 7 | Social, then sexual. Standing, or the charged bond as an audience. | SLE, LIE, SEE, EIE | High extraversion, low agreeableness | 1V, 1E, 4E |
| Histrionic | Feeling worn where other people can see it. The group is the instrument. Depth of display is not automatically a performance of emptiness. | ESFP, ENFP, ENFJ, ESFJ | 2, 7, 3 | Social and sexual. The audience, and the charge. | ESE, SEE, EIE, IEE | High extraversion, high openness | 1E, 2E |
| Avoidant | The want stays, and the person leaves before the shame arrives. Restraint is filed as a personality disorder. | INFP, ISFP, INFJ, ISFJ | 9, 6, 4, 5 | Social, then self-preservation. | IEI, EII, SEI, ESI | Low extraversion, high neuroticism | 3E, 3V, 4V |
| Dependent | The preference is handed to the nearest person so the bond survives. Merging, loyalty, and care are renamed as the absence of a self. | ISFJ, ESFJ, ISFP | 9, 6, 2 | Social. | SEI, ESI, ESE, EII | High agreeableness, high neuroticism | 4V, 3V, 2E |
| Schizoid | Solitude, and a low bid for contact. A clinic that only believes in talk calls this an absence of a person. Often the person is present and simply not bidding. | INTP, ISTP, INTJ, ISTJ | 5, 9 | Self-preservation. The sexual drive is the one that goes blind. | ILI, LII, SLI, LSI | Very low extraversion | 4E, 1L, 4V |
| Schizotypal | A symbolic inner world that looks odd to the interviewer and intact as a life. Vision, and a private language for it, filed as a thought disorder. | INFJ, INTP, INFP, INTJ | 5, 4 | Sexual or self-preservation. The inner world, or the one bond, carries what the group will not. | IEI, ILI, LII, EII | High openness, low extraversion | 1L, 3E |
| Antisocial | Will not perform remorse for a talk-based setting. Risk, bluntness, a private ethic. The word also names a real pattern of harm. The misfile is using it for anyone who will not comply. | ESTP, ENTP, ISTP, ENTJ | 8, 7, and the counterphobic 6 | Sexual, then self-preservation. | SLE, SEE, LIE, ILE | Low agreeableness, high extraversion | 1V, 4E, 1F |
| Complex trauma, as an identity | A hard history, or an intense temperament, renamed as the whole self. Injury is real. The misfile is when every Four, Six, or Eight is told the personality is a wound and the wound is who they are. | INFP, INFJ, ENFP, ENFJ | 4, 6, 8, 9 | Sexual. The bond is where the story is required to live. | IEI, EIE, ESI, EII | High neuroticism | 3E, 3V |
When type explains away harm, it is a costume. When spiral rank explains away people, it is a costume. Integrity claims the capture. Discernment uses the tool and puts it down.
