Every map. None of them the territory.

These are ways of describing a person from inside a language. Each can be true as a description and still not be the whole. Typology communities forget that, and the map becomes a dogma: a badge, a rank, a reason not to listen to someone filed under a different letter. This page keeps the maps and refuses the coronation.

The questions that guess a result are on Questions. A result can be pinned to your profile. It is a hypothesis. If it does not fit, the life is larger than the result.

MBTI

The four letters are a name. Under the name sit all eight functions: hero, parent, child, anima or animus, then the shadow: opposing, witch, trickster, daimon. Each type has a role, a temperament, and a way of meeting other people. The four small figures on each card are the four subtypes. None of them gets to be the whole person. The type is not the whole truth either. It is a perspective. Typology communities forget this, and the forgetting is a dogma: a correct stack, a rare subtype, a person declared mistyped because they do not match the culture's story. Where there is no concrete test that ends the argument, the communal narrative fills the gap and calls itself the model. The DSM's misfile of these sixteen, and of the other systems on this page, is on the dogma page. A type is not a diagnosis.

Isabel Briggs Myers set a line at the front of Gifts Differing: having then gifts differing. The sixteen, in her hands, are gifts, not defects. The indicator she built measures four continuous preferences. It is not a soul, and her model stops at four functions. The shadow positions were added later.

David Keirsey gathered the sixteen into four temperaments and asked people to quit the renovation. Trying to reshape others may produce change, he wrote, but the change is distortion rather than transformation. A temperament is a kinship of style. It is not a verdict that you were finished at birth.

Linda Berens split interaction style off from both type and temperament. In Charge, Chart the Course, Get Things Going, Behind the Scenes. It is how you try to influence people. It is not the hero function, and it is not the variant. She calls the style inborn. This page uses the four patterns. It does not use the birth certificate.

John Beebe is why the stack has eight seats and not four. The shadow of the hero is the opposing personality, the shadow of the parent the senex or the witch, the shadow of the child the trickster, and the bottom the demonic personality, a name he said was his own. The energy in a seat is the teaching. The seat is not an excuse for the energy.

Jung's 1921 book is a theory of attitudes and functions, not a scored test. A 1989 study found no support for cutting the indicator's scores into sealed types. Nardi's EEG, fifty-eight already-typed students and a cap, is an observation that different habits of attention look different while a person works. It is not a machine that reads the sixteen off a scalp. Use the stack as a hypothesis. If the life disagrees, the life wins. The record is on the evidence page.

How a stack is built

A function is a way the psyche keeps doing one kind of work. Sensation stays with what is here. Intuition stays with what is hidden or coming. Thinking stays with whether a thing holds together. Feeling stays with whether it matters. Thinking and feeling judge. Sensation and intuition perceive. Favor one of a pair and the other does not vanish. It goes backward. Backward is not an illness. It is undeveloped.

Attitude is the direction of that work. Outward, the function is spent on the object. Inward, it is spent on the subject. The same function turned the other way is the rival. The ego identifies with the function it can steer, and that identification pretends to be the whole person. The function it cannot steer is the inferior. It stays partly in the dark. You cannot promote it into the hero. What develops it is acknowledgement. It is allowed to be clumsy where other people can see it.

The spine of a type is the line from the function you trust to the one that humiliates you. The arms are the parent, which cares and can harden into a law, and the child, which plays and can sulk. The four shadow roles are those same four functions in the other attitude. Refuse them and they arrive wearing someone else's face.

MBTI subtypes

MBTI, each type written four ways: Dominant, Creative, Normalizing, Harmonizing. A portrait says what that type trusts, what a day of that variant looks like, and what to notice in someone else. You do not move from one subtype into another. The four variants are four studies of one type, not four squares on a board. The other types are other people, or other ways of looking, not a next step.

Dario Nardi, in Decode Your Personality, writes these four names for every type, using Victor Gulenko's terms. In his book the four are flexible over time and reflect development. Here they are not a ladder. A Harmonizing day is a study of that type, not a square you are supposed to reach. The brain sketches in his book are a model of attention. They are not a diagnosis, and they do not move the eight roles.

Each portrait carries one figure from the Book of Changes. The book's own method is a cast: three coins, a question written down, a figure that arrives by chance and is then read. On this site those readings were assigned at random, in that same spirit. The judgment is a companion. It is not proof that this subtype is that hexagram.

Sixty-four hexagrams are every way two values, broken or whole, can be stacked six times. That is a complete binary code. In 1701 the Jesuit Joachim Bouvet sent Leibniz the Fu Xi arrangement. Leibniz had already been building binary arithmetic. In the figures he recognized it: a whole line as 1, a broken line as 0. He published the arithmetic in 1703. Arithmetic itself is older than Leibniz and older than the book. Boolean logic and switching circuits made the machines. They were not copied out of a Chinese page. The pattern still repeats a distinction reality keeps making. Open or closed. The MBTI subtypes were drawn from that recognition. Sixteen types, four ways of living each, the same count. The set is a code of perspectives. It is not a rank.

Sixteen rays, four rings, sixty-four portraits. The drawing holds them in one figure so you can look across types and variants. It is not a route, and the rings are not stages. Inner ring, Harmonizing. Then Normalizing, Creative, and Dominant at the rim. Each portrait is a way to study a person. The figure from the old book on a portrait was assigned at random. The eye is the Self, the one who sees, the same in every person. The truth of the center is larger than the figure.

Enneagram

Nine strategies of attention. The personality use of the figure comes from Óscar Ichazo, not from Gurdjieff. Gurdjieff and Ouspensky used a nine-pointed symbol as a diagram of process. They did not teach these nine characters. Ichazo, in the Arica work, put a passion, a virtue, a fixation, a holy idea, and a trap at each point. Claudio Naranjo brought that into psychotherapy and tied the passions to character. Don Riso and Russ Hudson, later, drew the arrows as a security direction and a stress direction, and described nine degrees of how caught a person is in the fixation. A. H. Almaas reads the holy idea as the view that was lost when the fixation formed. The names do not match perfectly from teacher to teacher. What follows says whose name is whose.

The center is the emotion the strategy is built on, not a virtue. Gut is Eight, Nine, and One: anger. Eight uses it. Nine falls asleep to it. One converts it into a standard. Heart is Two, Three, and Four: shame, and the question of whether the self is real to other people. Two tries to be the needed one. Three tries to be the successful one. Four tries to be the distinct one. Head is Five, Six, and Seven: fear, and the future. Five reduces contact. Six looks for the threat and for something to trust. Seven leaves before the limit arrives. A head type is not more thoughtful. A gut type is not more honest. A heart type is not more loving. Those are the stories the strategies tell.

The wing is the neighboring number on the circle. It flavors the strategy. It is not a second type, and it is not a promotion. The arrows are not wings. Seven's wings are Six and Eight. Seven's security point is Five. There is no 7w5.

8
Challenger
Anger is used, not stored. The body wants impact, truth said plainly, and nobody standing over it. The risk is crushing what was only hesitant, and calling the crush honesty.
8w7
The fight wants the next thing as much as the win. Power stays mobile and easily bored. The risk is breaking what was working because stillness felt like a cage.
8w9
Force is held in reserve. The person would rather not be disturbed, and then is immovable. The risk is a stubborn peace that is still control, and a no that arrives too late and too hard.
9
Peacemaker
Anger goes to sleep so the group can stay whole. Other people's priorities slide into the day. The risk is a peace that erased the person who was keeping it.
9w8
Comfort, until a line is crossed, and then a shove. The spine shows up late. The risk is sleeping through the small refusal and exploding at the large one.
9w1
Peace is given a correct shape. The merging has a quiet ideal in it. The risk is a gentle, endless correction of other people that never admits it is anger.
1
Reformer
Anger becomes a standard. What is wrong shows up before what is fine. The risk is a life spent correcting, including a body that was never going to be pure enough.
1w9
The standard stays, and the volume drops. Peace is wanted along with correctness. The risk is a quiet superiority that calls itself patience, and a resentment that never raises its voice.
1w2
The standard is offered as help. People are improved because the reformer cares. The risk is correcting someone who did not ask, and experiencing their refusal as ingratitude.
2
Giver
Need is hidden inside being needed. The person finds the lack in someone else and fills it. The risk is a bill for help that was never agreed to be a bill.
2w1
Help has a correct form. Generosity comes with a standard for how the other person should receive it. The risk is a moral bill attached to a kindness.
2w3
The giving is also a picture of a successful, wanted person. Charm joins the help. The risk is a performance of generosity, and a collapse when the audience leaves.
3
Achiever
The heart wants a visible result. Image is a tool, and a goal can outrun a feeling. The risk is a record of success with no one inside it.
3w2
Success is proof of being useful to someone. The image is warm, not only impressive. The risk is a résumé standing where a self should be, aimed at whoever is watching.
3w4
The achievement wants to be particular, not generic. Image and a private sense of difference argue. The risk is a crafted uniqueness that is still a brand.
4
Individualist
The heart wants a particular self, and suffers the gap between that and the ordinary day. The risk is a mood that becomes an identity, and a refusal of any happiness that looks common.
4w3
The difference is willing to be seen. Longing gets a craft and an audience. The risk is a feeling that needs witnesses, and a shame when the performance is ordinary.
4w5
The difference goes inward and gets studied. Less display, more interior. The risk is a private myth that no other person is allowed to correct.
5
Investigator
The head withdraws to understand, and to keep energy from being spent. Knowing is safety. The risk is a full library and a life that never cashes the knowledge in.
5w4
Knowledge is also a way of being unlike other people. The investigation has a mood. The risk is hoarding both ideas and the specialness, and calling the isolation depth.
5w6
Knowledge is looked for because something might fail. A structure, a school, a method, is trusted once it holds. The risk is loyalty to a system that has already gone stale.
6
Loyalist
The head looks for what will fail, and for an authority that will not. Doubt and loyalty are the same muscle. The risk is a vigilance that cannot rest even after the check has cleared.
6w5
Doubt is researched alone. Preparation replaces asking. The risk is a bunker of expertise that still cannot decide, and a suspicion of the very authority it researched.
6w7
Anxiety and the next plan take turns. Loyalty is real and also restless. The risk is a new allegiance every time the last one disappoints, without ever leaving the worry.
7
Enthusiast
The head escapes pain by opening another option. The future stays plural so the present cannot close. The risk is a freedom that never lands, and a grief that is never sat with.
7w6
The options are kept near a duty and an exit. Pleasure is checked against what might go wrong. The risk is scattering: many plans, a loyalty that does not stay, a mind that will not land.
7w8
Experience is taken, not only imagined. There is less apology here than in the six-wing. Appetite has force. The risk is running people over and calling it a love of life.

Integration

Two different uses of the word are in the literature. They get collapsed, and then a person thinks they have changed type.

The first is the arrow. On the symbol, a triangle joins 9, 3, and 6. A hexad joins 1, 4, 2, 8, 5, and 7. Riso and Hudson read one direction as security, which they called integration, and the reverse as stress, which they called disintegration. Security runs 1 to 7, 7 to 5, 5 to 8, 8 to 2, 2 to 4, 4 to 1, and 9 to 3, 3 to 6, 6 to 9. Stress is those lines backwards. Many printed figures put the arrowhead on the stress direction. Same lines. The figure on this page points toward the security point.

A person does not travel the loop and become each number in turn. There is one point. The two arrows are the two other points connected to it. The loop is the structure of the symbol, not a curriculum. Seven integrating toward Five is still a Seven. What becomes available is the high side of Five's attention: one subject, stayed with, including the part that hurts. What does not become available is Five's identity, Five's avarice, or a new badge.

The second use of the word is older, and it does not require the arrow. Ichazo's virtue and holy idea are the emotional and the cognitive form of the point when the passion and the fixation loosen. For a Seven that is sobriety, and the holy idea that the whole of a life, limit included, is the plan. From the outside that looks like the move toward Five. From the inside it is the Seven's own point, less possessed by gluttony. Hudson's later teaching adds a correction to his own earlier map. Both connected points carry a resource and a trap. Stress usually arrives by itself, in its low form. The security point has to be practiced, in its high form. Practicing the low form and calling it growth is the common counterfeit. A Seven who hoards time, refuses contact, and calls the isolation depth has taken Five's passion and skipped Five's attention.

The levels of development, also Riso and Hudson, are not a ladder and not a diagnosis. Hudson later said so directly. They describe how identified a person is with the fixation, not a sequence of stages one climbs. When the fixation is light, the virtue is available in an ordinary hour and the strategy can be seen as a strategy. When it is ordinary, the strategy runs the day and is defended as personality. Most published descriptions of the types are written from here, which is why the types sound like problems. When the fixation has the whole life, the strategy attacks the person and other people. That is still not a psychiatric category. This site already treats diagnosis as a separate map, with its own funders. A low level here is not a prescription, and a high level is not an awakening.

Arrowheads point toward the security point. Stress runs the same lines the other way. 7 points at 5. 5 points at 8. The wing is the neighbor on the circle, and is not drawn, because it is not this relation.

Perfection
Reality is already whole in a way resentment cannot repair. The error-scan is not the ground of things. Serenity is a body that can meet an imperfect fact without turning it into a case.
Security, toward 7. The move toward Seven is pleasure without a verdict. What is taken from Seven is not more plans and not an escape. It is spontaneity, and the right to keep a thing that is still worth having after the flaw has been seen. The reformer stays a reformer. The day is allowed to include something that was not improved first.
Stress, toward 4. Under stress the criticism turns inward and comparative. The person feels uniquely burdened by how wrong things are, and the mood is treated as evidence. That is the low side of Four. The high side of the same point, taken on purpose, is the feeling the standard had been using as fuel: a particular disappointment, felt, without a prosecution.
Counterfeit. The counterfeit of this move is gluttony. More treats, more options, a reward for having been correct. That is Seven's passion, not Seven's ease. The anger is still running the ledger.
Wings. 1w9 can call the move relaxing and then go numb instead of enjoying anything. 1w2 can turn it into a pleasure provided for other people, still a service. Neither is the point.
2 to 4
Giver. Stress runs to 8.
Passion

Virtue
Humility

Flattery
Holy idea
Holy Will
Trap
Freedom
Other people have their own will. Care is not the management of them. One's own will does not have to be disguised as help in order to be allowed. Ichazo also called this holy idea Holy Freedom. The trap with the same name is the counterfeit: freedom from need, bought by being indispensable.
Security, toward 4. The move toward Four is contact with one's own feeling and one's own lack, including a lack that helping will not fix. High Four is honest interiority, not a display of being special. Humility here is not self-erasure. It is need spoken in the first person, without a résumé of services attached.
Stress, toward 8. Under stress the giving becomes a demand. Warmth hardens into push, control, and a claim that this is finally honesty. That is the low side of Eight. The high side of Eight, used on purpose, is the boundary a Two will not set: wanting something directly, without earning it by being needed.
Counterfeit. The counterfeit is a mood of being uniquely unappreciated, performed so that someone will come closer. That is envy in the service of pride. The person has not met their own feeling. They have found a more effective way to be needed.
Wings. 2w1 can turn the feeling into the correct way to need, a moral form of lack. 2w3 can turn it into a more interesting image. Both keep an audience with other people.
3 to 6
Achiever. Stress runs to 9.
Passion
Deceit
Virtue
Honesty
Fixation
Vanity
Holy idea
Holy Hope
Trap
Efficiency
Deceit here is self-deception about the image, not only lying to other people. Holy Hope, in Ichazo's list, is the worth of a person that is not postponed until the result. It is not cheerfulness. The trap, efficiency, is a life in which only what can be finished is allowed to count as real.
Security, toward 6. The move toward Six is loyalty to a work and to other people when no one is scoring it. High Six is courage and staying, not anxiety and not an authority to hide in. The achiever remains capable. The image can be set down because the commitment is real without a witness.
Stress, toward 9. Under stress the machine continues and the person leaves it. Numbness, busy inertia, a self checked out of its own schedule. That is the low side of Nine, and Nine's sloth means self-forgetting, not laziness. The high side of Nine is the piece the Three is missing when every hour must count: presence that is not a performance.
Counterfeit. The counterfeit is anxious loyalty to the image of being the reliable one. Scanning for who might withdraw approval, and calling the scan commitment. That is fear wearing Six's clothes. It still needs the audience.
Wings. 3w2 can do the move as being needed, which is still a role. 3w4 can do it as loyalty to a project that must remain distinctive. The result is still the self.
4 to 1
Individualist. Stress runs to 2.
Passion
Envy
Virtue
Equanimity
Fixation
Melancholy
Holy idea
Holy Origin
Trap
Authenticity
The fixation says something essential is missing and that the missing thing is what makes the self real. Holy Origin is the opposite view: the particular person comes from the same source as the ordinary people they envy. Equanimity is not a flat mood. It is no longer needing a lack in order to exist. The trap, authenticity, is a feeling that only counts if it is unlike anyone else's.
Security, toward 1. The move toward One takes the feeling and gives it a piece of work that does not have to prove the worker is unlike everyone else. High One is principled action and a calm about the imperfect result. The feeling is not discarded. It is no longer the identity.
Stress, toward 2. Under stress the longing reaches for someone who must not leave, and the mood is offered as a reason to be kept. Help that is really a need to be needed. That is the low side of Two. The high side of Two is the move outward: another person is real, not only a mirror for the interior.
Counterfeit. The counterfeit is a harsh standard used to prove the self is deeper than ordinary people. Resentment as a style. That is One's passion, anger, recruited to protect the envy. The work never gets done, because finishing would make it common.
Wings. 4w3 can make the standard presentable, a public correctness. 4w5 can make it a private system no one else is allowed to enter. Both refuse the ordinary completion the move actually is.
5 to 8
Investigator. Stress runs to 7.
Passion
Avarice
Virtue
Non-attachment
Fixation
Stinginess
Holy idea
Holy Omniscience
Trap
Observer
Avarice here is withholding of the self, of time, of energy, of presence. It is not only money. Holy Omniscience, as Ichazo named it and Almaas reads it, is knowing that does not have to be hoarded inside a private mind. Non-attachment is not more distance. It is no longer needing to hold life back in order to feel safe. The trap is the observer: a person who watches, and calls the watching a life.
Security, toward 8. The move toward Eight spends what was being saved. The person takes a position, uses the body, stays with other people, and lets an action be wrong in public. High Eight is force without the requirement to dominate. The investigator does not become a challenger. The knowledge is allowed to have a consequence that costs something.
Stress, toward 7. Under stress the withdrawal multiplies options. Another source, another frame, so the one commitment never has to be cashed. That is the low side of Seven, gluttony of the mind. The high side of Seven is play, and a multiple view that does not leave the group: curiosity that is not a bunker.
Counterfeit. The counterfeit is bluntness used as another wall. Control, a hard tone, people kept out by force instead of by silence. That is vengeance, Eight's fixation, not embodiment. Nothing was spent. The door got heavier.
Wings. 5w4 can enact the move as intensity and specialness, still at a distance. 5w6 can postpone it until the risk is fully mapped, which is the old withholding with a schedule.
6 to 9
Loyalist. Stress runs to 3.
Passion
Fear
Virtue
Courage
Fixation
Doubt
Holy idea
Holy Faith
Trap
Security
Doubt is the mental form. Fear is the passion under it. Holy Faith is not a belief and not a leader. It is the end of the requirement that reality be certified before it can be stood on. The trap, security, is the search for a guarantor that can be audited forever. Courage is the body remaining while the doubt is still with other people.
Security, toward 9. The move toward Nine is a ground that does not have to be confirmed by a side, an authority, or a worst case. High Nine is stable presence, not disappearance and not agreement. The loyalist does not stop noticing risk. The noticing stops being the one who decides whether the person is allowed to be here.
Stress, toward 3. Under stress the fear puts on a competent face. The person performs reliability, status, the correct result, so the anxiety has a job and a costume. That is the low side of Three. The high side of Three is a visible act that is not an image: doing the thing in front of other people instead of only preparing for it.
Counterfeit. The counterfeit is agreeing in order to end the fear, and calling the agreement peace. The scan goes quiet because the self went quiet. That is Nine's passion, self-forgetting, not Nine's presence.
Wings. 6w5 can do the move as a researched withdrawal and call it independence. 6w7 can do it as a new plan that soothes the fear without ever settling the body.
7 to 5
Enthusiast. Stress runs to 1.
Passion
Gluttony
Virtue
Sobriety
Fixation
Planning
Holy idea
Holy Plan
Trap
Idealism
Gluttony here is of experience, of options, and of futures. It is not only food. The fixation is planning: the next arrangement, kept open so the present cannot close. Holy Plan, also called Holy Work, is the whole of a life, pain and limit included, as the thing that was actually given. Not the pleasant slice. Sobriety is consent to that whole. It is not gloom, and it is not the end of pleasure. The trap, idealism, is a future that stays better than any hour one could actually inhabit.
Security, toward 5. The move toward Five is staying with one subject after the interest spikes, including the part the next option was invented to outrun. High Five is focus, metered attention, and the willingness to be under-stimulated. A Seven who can do this has not become a Five. The Five's concentration is being used inside the Seven. The options do not have to be killed. One of them has to be inhabited long enough that it becomes knowledge rather than a sample. One pleasure, taken all the way to its end, is the virtue. Grief that was being outrun is part of the subject, not an interruption of it.
Stress, toward 1. Under stress the freedom turns into a standard. Other people, and the day, are failing a criterion the Seven will not sit still to examine. Irritation, correction, a sharp taste dressed as discernment. That is the low side of One. The high side of One, taken on purpose, is the piece the Seven is short of: a finish, a principle, one thing called good enough to complete.
Counterfeit. The counterfeit is a private library and a refusal to be touched, called depth. Isolation, hoarded time, many notes and no commitment. That is Five's passion, avarice, worn as if it were Five's attention. The mind got busier. The subject was never entered.
Wings. There is no 7w5. Six and Eight are the wings. Five is the security point, and the two are constantly confused. 7w6 checks the Five-move against what might fail, and can call the staying 'being responsible' while still not landing. 7w8 takes experience by force, and can call the same staying a waste of appetite. In both wings the move is the same. Stay. Let the limit be information. Study the thing instead of sampling it.
8 to 2
Challenger. Stress runs to 5.

Lust

Innocence

Vengeance

Holy Truth
Trap
Justice
Lust here is excess of intensity and impact, the need to feel oneself by pushing on the world. It is not only sexual. Holy Truth is what is, including the impact one has and the vulnerability one has. Truth is not a weapon. The trap, justice, is impact renamed as a moral right. Innocence is impact without the strategy: the person can be affected.
Security, toward 2. The move toward Two lets another person matter without being owned. High Two is care that does not keep a bill and does not need the other person to be weaker. The challenger does not become sweet, and does not stop being direct. The force is used for someone, and the someone is allowed to change the one who is using it.
Stress, toward 5. Under stress the force pulls back into a private fortress. Withholding, secret study, energy metered, people kept at the distance of an idea. That is the low side of Five. The high side of Five is the pause before impact: looking, not only striking, and letting a thought finish before the body takes the group.
Counterfeit. The counterfeit is help that creates a debt. Care as a way to keep the upper hand. That is pride, Two's passion. The person is still in control of the one they claim to be open to.
Wings. 8w7 can do the move as generosity with an exit, care that will not stay for the ordinary part. 8w9 can do it as quiet protection that still refuses to be moved. Protection is not the same as being affected.
9 to 3
Peacemaker. Stress runs to 6.
Passion
Sloth
Virtue
Right action
Fixation
Indolence
Holy idea
Holy Love
Trap
Seeker
Sloth, in Naranjo's reading of Ichazo, is self-forgetting. The want merges into other people's wants. It is not laziness, and a busy Nine can be deep in it. Holy Love is inclusion that does not require the person to disappear in order to keep the field intact. One's own presence is not a disturbance of the whole. The trap, seeker, is a life spent looking for a peace that is always located in someone else's agenda. Right action is the want, claimed and carried out.
Security, toward 3. The move toward Three is a specific aim that is allowed to disturb the peace. High Three is directed energy and a self that can be seen doing something. It is not the image and not the applause. The peacemaker does not have to become a performer. A preference has to survive contact with other people, including the moment they are disappointed.
Stress, toward 6. Under stress the avoided want comes back as anxiety. Scanning, doubt, a search for someone else to name the priority, and the scanning called a concern for the group. That is the low side of Six. The high side of Six is the naming itself: a real risk said out loud, a loyalty to one's own position, instead of a calm that required the position to vanish.
Counterfeit. The counterfeit is a performance of being busy and fine. An image of a person who is engaged, while the want is still unnamed. That is Three's deceit. The schedule filled up. The self did not return.
Wings. 9w8 can do the move as a sudden push, then fall back asleep once the group reacts. 9w1 can do it as the correct thing, a duty. Duty is still someone else's standard if the want was never admitted.

Hornevian groups

Karen Horney's three moves, toward, against, and away, applied to the nine by later teachers.

These cut across the centers. They describe how the strategy moves when it wants something, not which emotion is underneath.

Assertive 3, 7, 8
They move against, or simply onto, the world. The want is pursued. The difficulty is seeing their own demand as a demand. Other people experience them as already in motion, and as surprised that the motion had a cost.
Compliant 1, 2, 6
They move toward an ideal, a person, or an authority. The want is felt as duty, help, or loyalty. The difficulty is a demand that cannot be admitted, because it has been dressed as what one owes.
Withdrawn 4, 5, 9
They move away, into the interior, the mind, or other people's agendas. The want is not pressed. The difficulty is a life that happens around them while they explain, imagine, or accommodate it.

Harmonic groups

Riso and Hudson. How a type responds when it does not get what it wants.

A Five and a Seven are both head types. Block the want, and they do opposite things. The center is not a behavior.

Competency 1, 3, 5
Feeling is set aside. A correct, efficient, or well-informed solution is offered, and the other person is expected to do the same. The cost is a problem that was emotional being treated as a mistake in the system.
Reactive 4, 6, 8
The feeling has to be met before a solution is tolerable. They need a response that matches the intensity. The other groups call this too much. Inside the group, a calm answer feels like abandonment or contempt.
Positive outlook 2, 7, 9
The pain is reframed, lightened, or postponed. They want the difficulty to shrink. The other groups experience this as a refusal to take the problem seriously. Inside the group, insistence on the negative feels like a trap.

Object relations

Naranjo, drawing on the early pattern of support. A psychological story, not a memory one is required to find.

Three ways the strategy treats needing. Useful, and easy to turn into a myth about one's childhood. Hold it as a pattern of attention, not as a recovered fact.

Rejection 2, 5, 8
Needing was treated as unsafe or as something that would be refused. The strategy needs less, or needs in a form that is hard to refuse. Two becomes indispensable. Five becomes untouched. Eight becomes the strong one. All three have trouble receiving what they did not arrange.
Frustration 1, 4, 7
The good thing is missing, spoiled, or not yet here. One tries to correct the world into it. Four mourns it and identifies with the gap. Seven hunts the next version of it. All three live in relation to an ideal that the present hour is failing.
Attachment 3, 6, 9
The bond is the problem and the solution. Three attaches to the image that keeps approval. Six attaches to an authority, a cause, or the opposition to one, which is still an attachment. Nine attaches by merging, and then cannot find the one who merged. All three have trouble knowing a preference that would cost the bond.

Countertypes

Each number is lived through an instinct, and one of the three looks least like the stereotype. Beatrice Chestnut's account of Naranjo's twenty-seven subtypes calls that one the countertype. Hudson's teaching uses the instinctual stack, in the next section, more than these portraits. Both can be true as descriptions. Neither is the person. The instinct does not change when the arrow is used. A sexual Seven moving toward Five still has the one-to-one charge. The charge gets a subject it can stay with.

1 Sexual
Zeal
The countertype of the reformer. Anger is more visible, aimed into the one bond or the one cause. Less the quiet standard, more the heat. Beatrice Chestnut's reading of Naranjo's subtypes. Other schools sort the three instincts differently.
2 Self-preservation
Privilege
Looks less like the helpful Two. Need is pursued more directly, and the giving is strategic about the Two's own survival. The pride is still there. It is less charming.
3 Self-preservation
Security
The workhorse. Less gloss, less performance for a crowd. Vanity attaches to being the one who can be counted on to produce. Still an image. The image is competence.
4 Social
Shame
Less withdrawn than the stereotype. Envy and comparison run in the group, often as a cause or a public suffering. The particular self is sought in how one stands among others.
5 Sexual
Confidence
In the one bond, less withholding than the stereotype. Intensity, confidence, a wish to be fully known by one person. Avarice still governs the rest of life. The exception is the charge.
6 Sexual
Strength
The counterphobic form. Fear is met by moving toward the threat, and the person often does not look afraid. Doubt is still the fixation. The style is challenge rather than scanning.
7 Social
Sacrifice
Gluttony is hidden inside a responsibility to the group. The Seven takes on the ideal, the cause, the people. It looks dutiful. The pain is still being outrun, now in the name of a we.
8 Social
Solidarity
Force is spent for a group rather than only for the self. Protection, leadership, a willingness to fight for others. Lust is still excess. The excess has a constituency.
9 Social
Participation
Does not look slothful. Works hard for the group, shows up, merges with the role. Self-forgetting is at its most complete here, because the activity hides it.

Instinctual variants

Naranjo tied the three instincts to the passions. Beatrice Chestnut and others made the stack a public language: which instinct leads, which supports, which is asleep. The last one is not gone. It is the one you do not notice yourself neglecting.

Self-preservation

The body, the money, the house, the health, the private store of resource. The question underneath is whether the organism is safe enough to continue. When this leads, the group and the charged bond are attended after the cupboard and the lock.

Social

The group, the role, the standing, who decides, who is in. The question is where one belongs in a structure. When this leads, a private bond and a private body can be neglected in favor of the place one holds among others.

Sexual, or one-to-one

The charge between two people. Attraction, the fuse, the sense that a bond is alive or dead. It is not only sex. When this leads, the wide group and the ordinary upkeep of a life lose to the one relationship that has voltage.

sp/so
Self-preservation, then social
Safety first, then a place in the group. The one-to-one charge is the blind spot: warmth can be provided as reliability and still feel, to the other person, like no one is actually there.
sp/sx
Self-preservation, then one-to-one
Safety first, then an intense bond. The group is the blind spot. A household of two can be guarded, and the wider world treated as weather.
so/sp
Social, then self-preservation
The group first, then the private resource that keeps one able to stay in it. The charged bond is the blind spot. Belonging is tended. Intimacy is postponed as if it were a luxury.
so/sx
Social, then one-to-one
The group first, and inside it a few bonds that have to feel alive. The body, the bills, and the quiet maintenance of a life are the blind spot.
sx/sp
One-to-one, then self-preservation
The charged bond first, then whatever keeps that bond's body alive. The group is the blind spot. A crowd is only the place the one person might be.
sx/so
One-to-one, then social
The charged bond first, then the social world it can live in. Self-maintenance is the blind spot. The person can build a scene and forget to eat.

Tritype

Katherine Fauvre's addition: one strategy from each center, gut and heart and head, all three present. Twenty-seven sets. The test puts the strongest first. 748 is a Seven leading, then a Four, then an Eight. It is not three personalities. It is three habits that do not cancel each other.

Big Five

Not a type. Five traits from the lexical research, later the Five-Factor Model of Costa and McCrae. Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, neuroticism. A person is a score on each, not a letter. High neuroticism here is a description of how readily distress rises. It is not a diagnosis, and it is not a prescription.

Openness O
High. Ideas, art, and unfamiliar frames are sought. The risk is novelty as a way to avoid a plain fact.
Low. The known and the concrete are preferred. The risk is calling every unfamiliar thing empty.
Conscientiousness C
High. Order, follow-through, and a standard for finishing. The risk is a life that cannot be interrupted by a living person.
Low. Plans stay loose. The risk is a trail of unfinished things that other people have to walk around.
Extraversion E
High. Other people and a high pace feed the day. The risk is a group that never gets to be quiet.
Low. Solitude restores. The risk is mistaking a need for quiet for a judgment that other people are shallow.
Agreeableness A
High. Other people's good is weighed in the decision. The risk is a yes that was fear, sold as kindness.
Low. The person's own interest is said plainly. The risk is a bluntness that does not notice the damage.
Neuroticism N
High. Threat, shame, and low mood register quickly and stay. The risk is a nervous system running the calendar. This is a trait description, not a diagnosis.
Low. Stress passes without taking the house. The risk is missing a real alarm because the body did not raise it.

Attitudinal psyche

Alexander Afanasiev's psychosophy, in The Syntax of Love, puts four aspects in a fixed order of attitude: Will, Logic, Emotion, Physics. The English-language reworking calls Will "Volition" and writes the order as 1V, 2L, 3F, 4E and so on. Twenty-four orders, because four positions permute. First is confident. Second is a process you will discuss. Third is insecure. Fourth is unbothered. The position is the attitude. It is not an intelligence score.

1V 2L 3F 4E
Volition (Will): First. Confident, and not interested in being talked out of it. Other people are expected to meet this. Decisions, wanting, the right to push a direction. Logic (Logic): Second. A process. This can be discussed, practiced, and changed by another person's view. Structure, correctness, whether an argument holds. Physics (Physics): Third. Insecure. This is wanted, and it is also where shame sits. Praise and criticism both land hard. The body, money, comfort, material life. Emotion (Emotion): Fourth. Unbothered. The process is skipped. A result is accepted without a feeling about the method. Mood, the bond, what is felt between people.

This is wanted, and it is also where shame sits. Praise and criticism both land hard. Structure, correctness, whether an argument holds. Volition (Will): Fourth. Unbothered. The process is skipped. A result is accepted without a feeling about the method. Decisions, wanting, the right to push a direction.

Socionics

Aušra Augustinavičiūtė, in Vilnius, built this in the late 1970s from Jung's Psychological Types and from Antoni Kępiński's idea of information metabolism. The psyche takes in and puts out kinds of information, the way a body metabolizes food. Model A is named for her pen name, Augusta. It is not a translation of the MBTI. The functions are defined differently, the relations between types are the actual subject of the theory, and an ILE is not an ENTP under another stamp.

The three-letter code, ILE or ESI, is the socionics name. The familiar letters beside it are a Western convention, and the last letter is the trap. It marks whether the leading function is irrational, p, or rational, j. MBTI's J and P mark something else: whether the extraverted function is a judging one. So LII is written INTj and leads with structural logic, which is why people equate it with INTP. IEI is written INFp and leads with intuition of time, which is why people equate it with INFJ. ILI is written INTp and leads with intuition of time, not with structural logic. EII is written INFj and leads with the ethics of relations, not with intuition of time. Reading the letters as the sixteen types on the rest of this site flattens both maps.

The questions on this site sort four dichotomies and then look up a code. They are not a socionics school exam, and they do not test the eight functions. A result of ILE means the answers leaned extraverted, intuitive, logical, and irrational. It is a hypothesis about a leading function, not a proof of one. English-language socionics also mixes Model A with Viktor Gulenko's Model G without saying so. This page is Model A. Where a later school adds a layer, it is named.

Augusta used black and white for the extroverted and introverted forms of an element, after the color of the symbols in her diagrams. The words are not moral, and they are not about people.

ILE ENTp
Alpha · Ne–Ti
Ne leading, Ti creative, Se role, Fi vulnerable, Si suggestive, Fe mobilizing, Ni ignoring, Te demonstrative
Possibilities are the program. Structural logic is the instrument. What is wanted from outside is bodily ease and a living mood. Criticism of private loyalty lands in the sore place. Force can be worn as a role and costs. Not an MBTI ENTP. The functions are defined differently, and the final p means the leading function is irrational, not that the type is a perceiver in the MBTI sense.
SEI ISFp
Alpha · Si–Fe
Si leading, Fe creative, Ni role, Te vulnerable, Ne suggestive, Ti mobilizing, Se ignoring, Fi demonstrative
Comfort is the program. The emotional atmosphere is the instrument. Potential and a clean structure are welcomed from outside. Pragmatic pressure and a demand to forecast are sore. Not an MBTI ISFP.
ESE ESFj
Alpha · Fe–Si
Fe leading, Si creative, Te role, Ni vulnerable, Ti suggestive, Ne mobilizing, Fi ignoring, Se demonstrative
The group's mood is the program. Comfort and hosting are the instrument. A clear structure and a new possibility are welcomed. A hard forecast, and being judged on efficiency, are sore. Not an MBTI ESFJ.
LII INTj
Alpha · Ti–Ne
Ti leading, Ne creative, Fi role, Se vulnerable, Fe suggestive, Si mobilizing, Te ignoring, Ni demonstrative
Structural logic is the program. Possibilities are the instrument. A warm atmosphere and bodily ease are welcomed and not produced on purpose. Force, and the demand to manage private sentiment, are sore. The letters say INTj. The leading function is Ti, which is why people keep equating this type with an INTP. It is neither. Not an MBTI INTJ.
EIE ENFj
Beta · Fe–Ni
Fe leading, Ni creative, Te role, Si vulnerable, Ti suggestive, Se mobilizing, Fi ignoring, Ne demonstrative
The emotional field is the program, aimed through time. A system and a willing force are welcomed. Comfort, and being reduced to a private bond, are sore. Drama is the risk, because the mood is treated as the meaning of the hour. Not an MBTI ENFJ.
LSI ISTj
Beta · Ti–Se
Ti leading, Se creative, Fi role, Ne vulnerable, Fe suggestive, Ni mobilizing, Te ignoring, Si demonstrative
Structural logic is the program. Force and territory are the instrument. A shared mood and a sense of where the situation is going are welcomed. Open-ended possibility is the sore place. A rule can outlive the reason it was made. Not an MBTI ISTJ.
SLE ESTp
Beta · Se–Ti
Se leading, Ti creative, Ne role, Fi vulnerable, Si suggestive, Fe mobilizing, Ni ignoring, Te demonstrative
Force is the program. Structural logic is how it is applied. Ease and a living mood are welcomed. Private sentiment, loyalty as a feeling, is the sore place. Victory can empty the group. Not an MBTI ESTP.
IEI INFp
Beta · Ni–Fe
Ni leading, Fe creative, Si role, Te vulnerable, Se suggestive, Ti mobilizing, Ne ignoring, Fi demonstrative
Time, sequence, and the way a situation is heading are the program. Emotion is the instrument. Force and a clean structure are welcomed from someone else. Being pressed for an efficient procedure is sore. The letters say INFp. The leading function is Ni, which is why this type gets equated with an INFJ. It is not that type either. Not an MBTI INFP.
SEE ESFp
Gamma · Se–Fi
Se leading, Fi creative, Ne role, Ti vulnerable, Ni suggestive, Te mobilizing, Si ignoring, Fe demonstrative
Force is the program. The private bond, who is in and who is cut off, is the instrument. A forecast and an efficient method are welcomed. Impersonal systems are the sore place. Loyalty can be held as property. Not an MBTI ESFP.
ILI INTp
Gamma · Ni–Te
Ni leading, Te creative, Si role, Fe vulnerable, Se suggestive, Fi mobilizing, Ne ignoring, Ti demonstrative
The long unfolding is the program. Pragmatic logic is the instrument. Will and a real personal loyalty are welcomed. A demand to carry the group's mood is sore. Pessimism can be mistaken for the whole of realism. The letters say INTp and the leading function is Ni, not Ti. Not an MBTI INTP.
LIE ENTj
Gamma · Te–Ni
Te leading, Ni creative, Fe role, Si vulnerable, Fi suggestive, Se mobilizing, Ti ignoring, Ne demonstrative
Efficiency is the program, aimed at a future result. Personal loyalty and force are welcomed. Comfort, and a purely structural argument with no payoff, are sidelined. People become instruments when the result is the only fact. Not an MBTI ENTJ.
ESI ISFj
Gamma · Fi–Se
Fi leading, Se creative, Ti role, Ne vulnerable, Te suggestive, Ni mobilizing, Fe ignoring, Si demonstrative
The private moral bond is the program. Force is how the boundary is kept. Method and a forecast are welcomed. Abstract possibility, a person as a potential rather than a loyalty, is sore. The cutoff, once made, is hard to appeal. The letters say ISFj. The leading function is Fi. Not an MBTI ISFJ.
LSE ESTj
Delta · Te–Si
Te leading, Si creative, Fe role, Ni vulnerable, Fi suggestive, Ne mobilizing, Ti ignoring, Se demonstrative
Practical method is the program. Comfort and a working material life are the instrument. Personal loyalty and human potential are welcomed. Forecasts of doom, and force for its own sake, are uninteresting or sore. Usefulness can refuse whatever it cannot measure. Not an MBTI ESTJ.
EII INFj
Delta · Fi–Ne
Fi leading, Ne creative, Ti role, Se vulnerable, Te suggestive, Si mobilizing, Fe ignoring, Ni demonstrative
The private bond and a personal ethic are the program. Possibilities in people are the instrument. Practical help and bodily ease are welcomed. Force is the sore place. Kindness can refuse a confrontation that was the honest act. The letters say INFj. The leading function is Fi, not Ni. Not an MBTI INFJ.
IEE ENFp
Delta · Ne–Fi
Ne leading, Fi creative, Se role, Ti vulnerable, Si suggestive, Te mobilizing, Ni ignoring, Fe demonstrative
Possibilities, especially in people, are the program. The personal bond is the instrument. Comfort and a workable method are welcomed. Impersonal structure is sore. Fascination can leave before the ordinary months. Not an MBTI ENFP.
SLI ISTp
Delta · Si–Te
Si leading, Te creative, Ni role, Fe vulnerable, Ne suggestive, Fi mobilizing, Se ignoring, Ti demonstrative
Comfort and the quality of the immediate world are the program. Pragmatic craft is the instrument. Possibility and a personal loyalty are welcomed. Carrying other people's moods is sore. Competence can refuse to explain itself. Not an MBTI ISTP.

The eight elements

An element is a kind of information, not a skill score. Two people can both care about the truth and be metabolizing different elements, structural logic or pragmatic logic, and talk past each other while using the same word.

Ne Intuition of possibilities
extroverted intuition, black intuition
Information about the potential in an object. What it could become, the talent not yet used, the reading that has not been tried. Augusta described it as the object's potential energy. It is not a mood of optimism.
Ni Intuition of time
introverted intuition, white intuition
Information about how something changes across time. Sequence, the way a process unfolds, what is already implied by what has happened. A forecast in this sense is a reading of dynamics, not a vision and not a prophecy.
Se Sensing of force
extroverted sensing, black sensing, volitional sensing
Information about territory, impact, and will exerted on an object. Who pushes, who yields, what space is occupied. It is not athleticism, and it is not the enjoyment of a sensation.
Si Sensing of sensations
introverted sensing, white sensing
Information about how the body sits in the immediate environment. Comfort, pain, temperature, the quality of a meal, whether a place can be lived in. The relation between the organism and its surroundings.
Te Pragmatic logic
extroverted thinking, black logic, logic of actions
Information about procedures, efficiency, and the use of resources. What works when it is actually done. External logic. It is not intelligence, and it is not the same element as structural logic.
Ti Structural logic
introverted thinking, white logic, logic of relations
Information about the internal consistency of a system. Classification, the dependency of one claim on another, whether the account holds together. A person can be brilliant and still have this in the vulnerable position. The element is a kind of information, not a rank.
Fe Ethics of emotions
extroverted feeling, black ethics
Information about the expressed emotional field. Mood as it moves between people, excitation, the atmosphere of a group. Public and contagious. It is not the private fact of who is close to whom.
Fi Ethics of relations
introverted feeling, white ethics
Information about attraction and repulsion, psychological distance, and the standing between particular people. Who is in, who is cut off, what a bond can bear. A private feeling about a relationship, not a group mood.

Model A

Eight positions, filled by the eight elements, under rules strict enough that there are sixteen types and not every permutation. The mental ring, positions one through four, is the part a person can more readily talk about. The vital ring, five through eight, is lived more than discussed. The blocks are the pairs the schools actually use when they read a type.

Ego is leading and creative. Strong, valued, what you produce. Super-ego is role and vulnerable. Weak, not valued, the costume and the sore point. Super-id is suggestive and mobilizing. Weak to produce, valued, what you want supplied. Id is ignoring and demonstrative. Strong enough, not valued, what you can do and do not live by. Valued elements are the ones a quadra shares. Strength is not value. The demonstrative function can be as fluent as the leading function and still not be what the person is for.

A later layer, associated with the dimensional schools rather than with the first statement of Model A, scores the positions by how many of four dimensions they can carry. Experience, norms, situation, and time. The popular chart gives four, three, two, one, one, two, three, four, in position order. Treat the numbers as a teaching device. The qualitative claim is enough, and it is the one that matches the descriptions above. The leading function can meet a case it has not seen before and carry it across time. The vulnerable function is stuck with the cases already lived.

1 Leading
Ego. Strong. Valued.
base, program
The program. The kind of information the person uses without noticing, and the one other people are quietly required to accept if the contact is going to hold. In the later dimensional teaching this position is four-dimensional: experience, norms, a new situation, and time. That chart is a later layer. The schools do not agree on the numbers.
2 Creative
Ego. Strong. Valued.
implementing
How the leading function is applied to other people. For an extraverted type, the tool that sets a context. For an introverted type, the tool that makes something others can take up. It is worked, not merely inhabited. Commonly taught as three-dimensional: able in a situation, less at home across a long stretch of time than the leading function.
3 Role
Super-ego. Weak as a place to live. Not valued.
normative
A social costume. It can be worn when the situation demands it, and it drops when the leading function is actually engaged, because the two are opposing approaches to a related domain. Prolonged use is tiring. Criticism here stings less than criticism of the vulnerable function.
4 Vulnerable
Super-ego. Weak. Not valued.
place of least resistance, PoLR
The sore point. The person does not see why this information should matter as much as other people insist, and gets hurt when it is pressed. What is lived here tends to be the few cases already suffered, not a principle that can be extended. Duality is partly the fact that someone else's leading function covers this without making it a trial.
5 Suggestive
Super-id. Weak to produce. Valued.
dual-seeking
What the person wants supplied and does not generate well from inside. Sustained doses are soothing, and are hard to be overwhelmed by. Producing it oneself is exhausting. Calling it simply weak misses the reception. It is weak as output and hungry as input. The dual's leading function is this element.
6 Mobilizing
Super-id. Weak. Valued.
activating, hidden agenda
Wanted, and easy to overdo or to neglect. Help is appreciated and then, past a point, feels like too much. It works best as support for the suggestive function, not as a project of its own. The dual's creative function lands here.
7 Ignoring
Id. Strong enough to use. Not valued.
limiting, observing
The rival of the leading function. The person often knows it and sets it aside, and can use it in private without the pain of a weak function. In public it is limited, because the leading function is preferred. A lecture on this element is usually heard as superfluous. The boredom is not the vulnerable function's wound.
8 Demonstrative
Id. Strong. Not valued.
background
Used as a background skill, often to support the creative function, and sometimes to mock people who treat this element as the center of life. It is also the element of the dual's vulnerable function, so a person can be careful with it on someone else's behalf while refusing to live by it.

Quadras

A quadra is four types who value the same four elements. It is not a friend group you are required to prefer, and the nicknames that grew up around the quadras, childlike, ardent, and the rest, are school folklore. What can be stated is which information they treat as worth living by. Alpha and Gamma are sometimes called democratic, and Beta and Delta aristocratic, a Reinin dichotomy about whether status is read off the person or off the group. It is a mathematical consequence of the four Jungian splits, heavily argued, and often used to flatter one's own quadra. It is not included here as a fact about those people.

Alpha
ILE, SEI, ESE, LII
Ne, Si, Fe, Ti
Potential, comfort, emotional atmosphere, and structural clarity. The group explains, hosts, and keeps the mood light enough to think. What it does not value is force, fatal time, impersonal efficiency, and the hard private cutoff. The risk inside the quadra's own story is a pleasant, clever present that will not face impact or a loyalty that costs.
Beta
EIE, LSI, SLE, IEI
Fe, Ti, Se, Ni
Collective feeling, a system, force, and time as history or fate. The group mobilizes. What it does not value is pragmatic tinkering, private-bond ethics, open possibility, and comfort as a goal. The risk is a meaning that needs an enemy, and a structure that needs obedience.
Gamma
SEE, ILI, LIE, ESI
Se, Ni, Te, Fi
Will, forecast, efficiency, and private loyalty. The group is a set of bonds and results, not a shared mood. What it does not value is speculative possibility, comfort, emotional atmosphere, and impersonal structure. The risk is people treated as assets, or as betrayals.
Delta
LSE, EII, IEE, SLI
Te, Fi, Ne, Si
Practical work, a personal ethic, human potential, and comfort. The group improves the concrete life of particular people. What it does not value is group emotion, abstract system, force, and fated time. The risk is a mildness that will not use force even when force is the honest tool.

Clubs

Researchers
ILE, LII, ILI, LIE
The ego block is intuition and logic, in either order. The English nickname is NT. Ideas and systems. The nickname is how clubs get mistaken for MBTI temperaments. The elements inside are not the MBTI functions.
Humanitarians
IEE, EII, IEI, EIE
Intuition and ethics. People as potentials, bonds, moods, and histories. NF is only a nickname.
Pragmatists
SLE, LSI, SLI, LSE
Sensing and logic. Force or comfort, applied through a system or a method. ST is a nickname.
Socials
SEE, ESI, SEI, ESE
Sensing and ethics. Force or comfort, applied through a bond or a mood. SF is a nickname.

Temperaments

Extraversion with rationality. Four groups, from the same two dichotomies Jung already had. Not a blood type, and not a measure of energy in the ordinary sense of that word.

Flexible
ILE, SLE, SEE, IEE
Extraverted and irrational. The leading function perceives and is aimed outward. The situation is entered and revised while it is happening. The nickname in Gulenko's later writing is flexible-maneuvering. The structure is the part that holds. The nickname is school language.
Linear-assertive
ESE, EIE, LIE, LSE
Extraverted and rational. The leading function judges and is aimed outward. A criterion or an aim is brought to the situation and pressed.
Receptive-adaptive
LII, LSI, ESI, EII
Introverted and rational. The leading function judges and stays inward. A principle, a system, or a personal ethic is held, and the world is met from it.
Stable
SEI, IEI, ILI, SLI
Introverted and irrational. The leading function perceives and stays inward. Comfort, time, or the inner read of the situation sets the pace. Other types experience this as inertia. Inside the temperament it is continuity.

Intertype relations

This is the part of the theory that is not a rephrase of Jung. Fourteen relations in Augusta's count. Twelve are symmetric. Supervision and benefit are asymmetric, one relation with two roles. Later writers split the directions and get sixteen. The examples below are anchored on ILE so the structure can be checked against a single stack. Substitute any type and the same geometry applies.

A relation is not a verdict on whether two people should know each other. It is a claim about which functions land on which. Communities turn duality into a destiny and conflict into a ban, and both moves make the map a dogma. The same warning that sits on the rest of this site sits here. Communal narratives fill the gaps where the theory cannot see a particular life. A typed celebrity, a typed ex, a typed quadra that is "your people," is a story the letters cannot confirm.

Romance styles, caregiver and infant, aggressor and victim, are a later descriptive layer. The names are ugly, the layer is contested, and Model A does not need them. They are named here so they are not mistaken for the structure.

Reinin's dichotomies are fifteen binary cuts derived from the four Jungian ones. Most of them were not observed first and formalized after. They fall out of the math. Using all fifteen as a portrait of a person multiplies the map without adding an observation. The four dichotomies, the eight elements, the model, the quadras, and the relations are the load-bearing part.

Identity
same type
Same leading function, same sore point, same thing wanted from outside. Recognition is immediate. So is competition for the same role. Understanding is not complementarity.
Duality
dual
Each leading function lands on the other's suggestive function, and each creative function lands on the other's mobilizing function. Same quadra. This is the exchange the theory treats as the most complete. It is not a guarantee of love, and not evidence that the two people are good. A dual can still be cruel, bored, or unwilling. The information fits. The lives may not.
Activation
activity
Same quadra, the other pair. Each supplies valued information, with a different rhythm, because one is rational and the other irrational. Easy to start, useful, and tiring if it never rests. Not full compensation. ILE with ESE. LII with SEI.
Mirror
ego functions swapped
What one person leads with, the other uses as the creative instrument. ILE is Ne–Ti. LII is Ti–Ne. Same interests, two orders of work. Good for taking a subject apart. A standing temptation to correct the other person's method.
Kindred
comparative
The same leading element, a different creative element, different quadra values. ILE and IEE both lead with Ne. The surface matches. The reason for using it does not. They recognize each other and then argue about what the recognition was for.
Semi-duality
partial dual
Part of the dual exchange is present and part is missing. Attractive, with a recurring gap neither person is built to fill. ILE with SLI. The gap is the relation. It is not a character flaw discovered in the other person.
Business
cooperation
The creative function is shared. ILE and SLE both use Ti as the instrument, for different programs. Useful work. Different aims. The output can be joint. The reason for the output is not.
Mirage
illusionary
Pleasant, and systematically misleading. The contact feels easier than the values actually are. ILE with IEI. Comfort without the complementarity of duality. The disappointment comes late, which is why the older name is mirage.
Super-ego
superego
Each person's ego is the other's super-ego. ILE with SEE. What one lives by, the other experiences as a demand and a sore neighborhood. Mutual criticism. Sometimes useful at a distance. Grinding up close. Not the same relation as conflict.
Contrary
extinguishment
Each puts out the other's momentum. ILE with ILI. Conversation can be intelligent and still leave both less able to act. Symmetric weariness, not a wound.
Quasi-identity
quasi-identical
Almost the same type from the outside, opposite in rationality. ILE leads with Ne and is irrational. LIE leads with Te and is rational. Parallel interests, different leading information. A common source of the rumor that two people are the same type under different names.
Conflict
conflicting
The most opposed relation. The leading function of each lands on the vulnerable function of the other. ILE with ESI. The strain is structural, so a difficult month is not evidence that one of them is failing at being decent. Distance is a legitimate reading. So is a narrow, explicit cooperation. The map supports a fused life least of all.
Supervision
audit, revision. Asymmetric.
The supervisor's leading function lands on the supervisee's vulnerable function, and it does not run the same way back. ILE supervises LSI. EII supervises ILE. The supervisor often feels they are simply being clear. The supervisee feels evaluated on the one thing they cannot defend. Augusta counted this as one relation with two roles. Later writers split the direction. The structural fact is the asymmetry. It is not a license to correct another person, and it is not proof that the supervisor is righter. Rings of four close. Each type supervises one type and is supervised by another.
Benefit
request, social request. Asymmetric.
The benefactor supplies something the beneficiary values and cannot easily return in kind. The beneficiary feels helped, pulled, and slightly in debt. The benefactor may feel under-answered. Augusta treated the two roles as one relation. Later schools argue the direction. A benefactor is not a better type. They are upstream of one kind of information.

Every map. None of them the territory.
