Si - White Sensory: sensations, tastes, smells, well-being, tactile sensations;
Se - Black Sensory: power, influence, ability, authority, status, capital and money, resources, strength, endurance.
Ni - White intuition: trends, changes and probability of events.
Ne - Black intuition: ideas, variations of events
Ti - White logic: causes of phenomena, patterns and the structure of anything.
Te - Black logic: consequences of phenomena, skills, benefit, usefulness.
Fi - White ethics: relations between people (friend/enemy, love/hate) and evaluation of something in principle.
Fe - Black ethics: reactions to objects and events (laughing, crying, anger) and behaviours.
Si - Introverted Sensing (White sensorics, sensory of sensations, Si+ sensorics of comfort/Si- Sensorics of discomfort):
Homeostasis, continuity, smoothness, flow, satisfaction, aesthetics, quality of life, pleasure, relaxation, convenience, quality.
Perception of sensations of the senses, understanding of the physical state of a person, appreciation of harmony of forms and positions, aspiration for comfort and cosiness, refined pleasures. Responsible for the object care of the body's needs. Tastes, colours, smells, touch. Conformity, adaptation. Enjoyment of the moment.
Existence in the environment of sensations, perception of the surrounding world through any sensations of one's body touch, smell, taste, well-being, cleanliness. Evaluating the properties of surrounding objects through the sensations that arise from them. The ability to distinguish the qualities of sensations. Sensation of surroundings, aesthetic pleasure, physical satisfaction (bodily pleasures).
Perception of tastes, smells, colours, evaluation of harmonious combination of objects with each other. Comfort and feeling of your own body, your own well-being and the well-being of others.
The Si aspect includes information about the sensations we receive through our senses. This includes everything we see and hear, as well as tastes, odours and tactile sensations. This can also include information about our physical well-being - for example, if we are in pain, this is Si information. Accordingly, the source of this information for us is the material world and the material objects in it. Feeling of one's health and the state of the body. Feelings of warmth, cosiness.
If an individual's Si is strong and valuable, he always knows how to arrange his own as well as other people's life in the most convenient way. An energy of calm and unhurriedness.
Se - Extraverted Sensing: (Black sensorics, sensorics of power, Se+ Sensorics of resistance/Se- Sensorics of subjugation):
Sensing of immediate static qualities of objects, sensing of immediate reality, external appearance, texture, form, static objects, impact, direct physical effect, span, extent, scope.
Perception of material objects and the surrounding space, evaluation of the appearance of objects, evaluation of physical strength, volitional qualities of people, their material position and weight in society, evaluation of the balance of power, perseverance, breakthrough qualities, aspiration to leadership and well-being.

A person's ability to resist pressure on him/her and to exert pressure on others. Perception of a person's sphere of influence, his ‘status’, visual signs of his position in the hierarchy.
The Se aspect includes information about influence, i.e. how some material objects or phenomena can affect others. Its source is the material world. In addition to information about direct perceived influence, this aspect can also include information about potential influence (e.g., I know that I am stronger than this person, so I can do him more harm than he can do me).
At the same time, information about influences is abstract rather than concrete, unlike information about sensations. Energy of inequality (in the balance of power: feels who is the leader and who is in charge), energy of focus and determination. Energy of power and strength. Energy that attracts other people and makes you implicitly obey. When Se is a strong and valuable aspect, then a person is no stranger to such concepts as power, strength, might, conquest of something or someone.
Ti - Introverted Logic: (White logic, structural logic, Ti+ logic of consistent/Ti- logic of parallel):
Structure, analysis, coherence, consistency, cogency, accordance, match, commensurability, understanding, order, or the lack of thereof.

Systemic vision of the object, separation of parts in it and interrelationships between them. Various classifications and rules.
Formal hierarchies in organisations, formalised rules of interaction between people, legal laws.
Actions: think, reason, theorise, explore, learn, teach (give knowledge and theories to develop a correct understanding of them), understand. Make reports, instructions, diagrams, tables, structure information. Create hierarchies. Structuring, sorting.
White logician has a good sense of and can clearly describe the connections and rules that operate in the world. Can create their own rules and laws and communicate them clearly to others.
Te - Extraverted Logic: (Black logic, business logic, Te+ logic of investment /Te- logic of economy):

Black Logic - extroverted aspect that helps to organise various processes, often with the maximum possible benefit and profit from them.
Black Logician sees a very objective picture of reality, can detach himself from his personal sympathies/antipathies and see everything ‘as it is’. It is easy for him to learn how to arrange his life the way he wants. He sees very well how to establish co-operation with other people so that it would be beneficial and useful for everyone.
Fi - Introverted Ethics: (White ethics, ethics of relationships, Fi+ ethics of forgiveness/Fi- ethics of judgement):
Internal harmony, resonance or dissonance of personal sentiments, sympathy, pity, compassion, support, condemnation, judgement, positive and negative emotional space.
Evaluation of interpersonal relationships, manipulation of relationships, understanding of the rules of behaviour in society, moral evaluation of people's actions, striving for mercy and humanity, empathy. Morals, values, good/bad judgements. Attachments, habits. Existence in an environment of feelings, attitudes, likes and dislikes. Perception of the environment through the feelings it evokes.

Our values are also formed on the basis of evaluations. Hidden interaction of objects (attraction, repulsion) Sympathies and antipathies, subjective preferences of one individual. Sense of tact, informal relationships in a team.

Feeling of closeness, trust, feeling of kinship, attraction, acceptance of a person, kindness, togetherness, energy of rapprochement, energy of attraction, repulsion and estrangement. People with strong relationship ethics have a good sense of morals and standards of behaviour.
White Ethics aspect makes it easy for a person to understand what kind of relationships they have and with whom. With the help of this aspect an individual understands how a boss at work, for example, treats him/her and what kind of relationship to build with him/her. How to build relationships with colleagues, as well as with family members. However, because they feel people, their souls, their decency, so they may not always want to be in a close relationship with them. Sometimes they can begin to educate others, seeking to change their behaviour, sometimes alienate those who do not like. Or they may accept and forgive all behaviour. And all of this matters to them, all of it is empathetic. White ethicists, as a rule, know ‘what is ethical’ and what is not. And even if they themselves behave ‘unethically’, they do it consciously, they understand when and how to violate norms in relationships, and how to correct/amend the situation in case of something.
Fe - Extraverted Ethics: (Black ethics, ethics of emotion, Fe+ ethics of positive emotions/Fe- ethics of dramatic emotion):

Influence on the emotional state, ability to calm, cheer up. Empathy, ability to sympathise.
The Fe aspect includes information about how we show our attitude to something to the outside world. This is our reactions, behaviour in general. Various emotional manifestations such as laughter, tears, smiling, etc. may well be attributed to information on the Fe aspect.
Action: to cheer up, to upset, to influence the mood, to create a mood, to create an atmosphere, to set the accents of attention, to create a work of art (something that will arouse emotions in others, a poem, a picture, etc.) to do something incomprehensible and irrational, but from an impulse, to infect with emotions. Qualities: artistry, emotionality, playfulness.
Black Ethics is an extroverted aspect that is usually quite strong in people who like to play in public. It is this aspect that will give you the ability to lift the spirits of even the most boring party. It is quite natural that such people often become artists, as they know how much, on whom and how to ‘pour’ emotions so that people would not be bored. Black ethics sensitively feel the emotional state of other people, know how to influence it, to cause indignation, to cheer up, to cause sadness, etc. People with this aspect in strong well understand the appropriateness of their own and other people's emotions.
Ni - Introverted Intuition: (White intuition, Intuition of time, Ni+ Intuition of the future/Ni- intuition of the past):
Development over time, historicity, cause and effect, consequences, repetition, archetypal themes and examples, looking for causes in history or the past, past-future forecasting of event dynamics, rhythm, delay or act-now, past-turned imagination.

Feeling of the rhythm of what is happening, the pace of events, feeling the degree of consonance of the behaviour and views of others, feeling of filling one's own and others' time. Imagination of possible situations (and impossible ones too), one's place in them, premonition.
The Ni aspect includes information about specific changes in the world around us that we can observe directly. Ni information can be obtained by observing how epochs change, political regimes collapse and are built, different periods in the life of a person and society. Also on the basis of white-intuitive information we can see various tendencies in the surrounding world (i.e. distinguish recurring events).
Coherence of various processes among themselves. Feeling of world harmony, interconnection of all existing things. Time allocation, ordering and coordination of affairs among themselves, understanding of the moment when it is necessary to start or stop acting. Anticipation, hope, sense of the subtle, sense of development, sense of predestination. Energy of the harmony of life and the coherence of events. Events happen, life flows - and Ni gives a ‘connection’ between them, you get development, full of meaning. Streamlining. Qualities: intuition, appropriate secrecy and mystery. White intuitives are more likely to observe what is going on in the world, they find it easier than to actively act.
Ne - Extraverted Intuition: (Black intuition, Ne+ Intuition of perspectives /Ne- Intuition of alternatives):
Potential, permutation, isomorphism, semblance, essence, uncertainty, the unknown, opening up new “windows” and bringing up new possibilities in conversation, seeing opportunities, chance, being the first, refreshing informational suddenness, diversity of interests and involvements.

Multidimensional and holistic perception of the world, assessment of potential qualities and capabilities of systems and phenomena, evaluation of perspectives, vision of options, aspiration for innovation. The ability to abstract attention from external manifestations of objects, grasping their content and highlighting their essence. Perception of internal qualities and purpose of objects. Ability to separate the prospective from the non-perspective, to present the result. The ability to contrast and defend one's ideas and views. The source of information on Ne are events that are happening and can happen in the world. This is the so-called ‘space of variants’ - everything that was, is, and can be.
Assumptions about the internal structure of an object hidden from the observer's eyes. Scientific and near-scientific ideas, laws of nature. Vision of abilities, qualities and character traits of a person, predicting what can be expected in certain situations.
Action: to invent, to see new things, to make choices and decisions under conditions of uncertainty, to look for new possibilities and alternatives, to recognise the situation (holistically), to see different ways of doing things. See the unusual in simple things. To go beyond the boundaries of familiar perceptions.
Feeling: sense of novelty, unconventionality, unusualness, sense of wonder, sense of discoverer. Energy: infantile and childlike, interest. Black intuition helps to see the potentialities of different objects. It is usually associated with the generation of new, original ideas. If this aspect is in a person's values and if it is strong, it makes him interested in everything in a row, hoping to find something new in the object of interest and to give birth to another interesting thought or even a brilliant idea. Black intuit sees in everything that happens something unique and unusual, strives to get away from the standards. He is able to find a way out (and more than one) of the most different situations.
Aspects at different positions in Model A
Fe (Black Ethics, or Emotion Ethics in Model A) is the aspect responsible for emotional expression, communicating moods, managing the atmosphere in a group, and influencing the emotions of others.
1. Base (1st) function - in EIE (Hamlet) and ESE (Hugo)
Natural possession: The person easily reads and creates an emotional background, knows how to charge others with mood. Since the function is extroverted, it is emotions on display: acting, working for the public, the ability to attract and hold the attention of the audience, to infect others with emotions. Hamlet and Hugo master all this skillfully, but due to the inflexibility of the basic function, they are trying to solve all problems by emotional impact, and it is difficult to bear with others in large quantities.
Spontaneity: Emotions are manifested vividly and directly.
Instrument of Influence: Uses emotions to persuade, inspire, or manipulate.
Example: EIE (Hamlet) can dramatize events to engage an audience, ESE (Hugo) can infect with enthusiasm or overwhelm with emotional intensity.
2. Creative (2nd) function - in SEI (Dumas) and IEI (Yesenin)
Flexibility: Adapts emotions to the situation, uses them point by point.
Tactfulness: Feels when it is necessary to support, cheer up or, on the contrary, “dampen” emotions. Creative black ethics as a rule are the soul of society, they like fun companies and different worldly joys. Dumas usually tries to extinguish the emerging conflict and return to a comfortable state, and Yesenin can and scandalize to be able to manipulate the reaction of people. Both love the expression of emotions in life and are able to show them in poetry, painting, and music.
Unconventional: Can play with different moods, but does not push them like the basic Fe types. They are not as strong emotionally as basic black ethics, but they have a wide variety of emotional techniques and do not try to solve everything with emotions. They can and retreat if their emotional impact is not successful. The main goal of Dumas' creative black ethics is to bring its possessor into a comfortable state of mind, while Yesenin's is to achieve some long-term goals.
Example: SEI (Dumas) creates a cozy atmosphere, EEI (Esenin) romanticizes or gently leads away from conflict.
3. Role (3rd) function - LIE (Jack London), LSE (Stirlitz)
Emotion Imitation: Engages in “business” or “socially acceptable” emotional mode, but it takes effort. Role function is a mask: what a person wants to appear to be.
Role Black ethicists try to appear cheerful in unfamiliar company, but their emotions are overplayed, straightforward, and often out of place, though they do attract initial attention in the group. However, when you see these same people among loved ones or at work, you will notice how focused and quiet they are compared to their behavior at parties.
Example: Stirlitz (LSE) keeps a straight face in negotiations, Jack (LIE) can joke, but without deep inclusion.
4. Painful (4th) function - ILI (Balzac), SLI (Gabin)
Weak understanding of emotions: Awkwardness in expressing feelings, irritation at emotional noise.
Vulnerability: The person has poor understanding of the emotions of others, his own reactions may be inadequate. To show their emotions in public is very difficult for such people, because of the fear that it looks clumsy. They believe that words cannot express the feelings they experience and therefore sound fake. They adequately understand only simple, natural emotions without being fake, which their background black ethics - Napoleon and Hexley are able to give off.
Awkwardness: Mood swings, unexpected emotional “outbursts” or, conversely, lethargy. Great difficulty with the external manifestation of emotions, difficulties with informal communication, with the work of voice, gestures, facial expressions; it is difficult to charm people, problems with charisma; detachment and passivity.
Irritation at “emotional noise”: Does not like to be pressured by emotions. Painful Black Ethics react very painfully to emotional impact. They find it difficult to be in the same room with a person who is screaming, crying, or laughing loudly.
Example: Balzac (ILI) closes in on himself when pressured emotionally, hiding his emotions, grumbling, Gabin (SLI) withdraws into himself when pressured emotionally, defiantly pouts, flaunting his condition to get away from him.
5. Suggestive (5th) function - LII (Robespierre), LSI (Maxim Gorky)
Need for emotional support: Expects others to create a comfortable atmosphere.
Susceptibility: Easily infected by others' emotions - both positive and negative. Both are uncritical of others' emotions. They especially appreciate people who bring them positive emotions and may overlook rude flattery.
Example: Robespierre (LII) appreciates when someone defuses the situation, Maxim (LSI) requires clear emotional signals.
6. Activation (6th) function - ILE (Don Quixote), SLE (Zhukov)
External Stimulation: Love energetic environment, but are not able to deeply manage emotions themselves.
Positive Attitude: Likes an emotionally rich environment. They are grateful for emotional support from others as it directly affects their mood.
Stimulation: Can play along, but not as a basic Fe types, but more as a “co-conspirator”. ILE's self-esteem rises if he manages to achieve comfort through emotional influences on others, and SLE's if his supremacy and right to give instructions is recognized as a result. Otherwise, the mood of both of them deteriorates to the point of aggression.
Example: Don Quixote (ILE) keeps discussions fun, Zhukov (SLE) is energized by a combative attitude.
7. Ignoring (7th, “restrictive”) function - ESI (Dreiser), EII (Dostoevsky)
Rational attitude to emotions: Notices but does not consider them primary, may suppress them. Protective function serves to shield the personality from unpleasant or dangerous extraneous influences.
Adjustment: If emotions get in the way - may “turn them off”. Not very emotional in normal situations, these people protect themselves from emotional pressure of others.
Example: Dreiser (ESI) controls emotions through norms, Dostoevsky (EII) analyzes feelings logically.
8. Background (8th) function - IEE (Huxley), SEE (Napoleon)
Automatic Emotional Adjustment: Emotions are shown unconsciously, not focused on.
Background function is responsible for proper unconscious reactions in daily life. IEE and SEE are able to determine a person's state of mind by voice and the smallest emotional expressions. Not only that, they can naturally, without applying any effort, control and manage other people's emotions, ignite a person to a certain act or, on the contrary, cool his ardor. Their emotions are simple and natural, so they are well understood by others.
Example: Hexley (IEE) picks up on moods easily, Napoleon (SEE) uses emotions without thinking.
Fe in different positions:
Strength and spontaneity in basic types (EIE, ESE): strong, natural emotion management
Flexibility in creative types (SEI, IEI): flexible, tactful use
Tension in role (LIE, LSE): artificial switching on if necessary
Vulnerability in the painful (ILI, SLI): awkwardness, irritation at emotional noise
Need for support in the suggestive (LII, LSI): waiting for outside emotional guidance
External stimulation in activators (ILE, SLE): loves an energetic atmosphere, doesn't know how to create one himself, but is willing to try
Rational control in the observational (ESI, EII): notices, but doesn't wallow in emotion
Unconscious manifestations in the background (SEE, IEE): unconsciously mimics and uses emotions
Fi (White Ethics, or Relationships Ethics in Model A) is the aspect responsible for moral standards, distance in relationships, fairness, duty, rules of behavior, and the evaluation of good/bad in interpersonal interactions.
1. Base (1st) function - in ESI (Dreiser) and EII (Dostoevsky)
Natural understanding of relational ethics: A clear sense of “what is the right” way to behave with people. Both tend to view relationships as the foundation of their lives.
Norms and principles: Have an internal moral code that they apply flexibly but do not violate.
A natural sense of “right”: A clear understanding of how to act in a relationship.
Distance Control: Have a sense of when a person can be trusted and when to keep their distance.
Example: ESI (Dreiser) rigorously assesses who is “one's own” and who is a “stranger”. EII (Dostoevsky) strives for harmony in relationships, avoids conflicts. In building relationships Dreiser, who is often considered a moralist, “fights evil”, and Dostoevsky, an intuitive, tries to “do good”.
2. Creative (2nd) function - IEE (Huxley), SEE (Napoleon)
Norms Game: Use relationship rules as a tool, not a dogma. Their creative function is masterful at networking and influencing people. They know how to get people to like them. The main feature of the creative Fi is the ability to adapt to the interlocutor, which allows him to win the favor of anyone. He adjusts his point of view to the interlocutor, flattering him and giving compliments.
Manipulation of distance: Can get close or distant tactically.
Example: Hexley (IEE) easily changes his communication style to suit the person he is talking to. Creative white ethics of Hexley realizes his basic function - search for new promising opportunities. Even having quarreled with someone Hexley tries not to cut off the relationship to the end. Napoleon (SEE) keeps his distance, but is able to “turn on the charm” if necessary. Napoleon's white ethics serve his basic volitional sensorics, so central to it is his desire to subjugate those around him to his ethical influence.
3. Role (3rd) function - LII (Robespierre), LSI (Maxim Gorky)
Demonstration of Correctness: Try to appear “ethical” in the eyes of society, but this requires effort. Role white ethicists at first acquaintance appear to be tactful polite people, pleasant to be around. They try to be well-mannered and observe etiquette. But to understand the subtleties of relationships between people and even more so to influence these relationships they can not.
Tension in long-term commitments: Can forget about moral standards if they are carried away by an idea. Simplify relationships, as they do not understand all the subtleties, and are often offended by unexpected for them development of events.
Rigidity in extremes: Either too formal or suddenly violate norms.
Example: Robespierre (LII) strives to appear polite and courteous. LII substitutes the concept of “ethical” with the concept of “fair”. Maxim (LSI) demands subordination and correctness, relationships with others are defined by mutual obligations.
4. Painful (4th) function - ILE (Don Quixote), SLE (Zhukov)
Blindness to unspoken rules: Don't feel when boundaries are crossed, problems with politeness, tact, adherence to formal social norms. Such people do not understand complex relationships and intrigue. It is hard for them to understand people in detail, it is difficult to track and understand people's relationships to each other. Painful white ethics can accidentally offend someone without noticing it, or something “blab” without realizing that sometimes it is better to keep silent. The flow of information on white ethics that contradicts common sense causes both of them unpleasant feelings.
Irritation with formalities: Do not like to be limited by conventions, consider them a waste of time.
Example: Don Quixote (ILE) may tactlessly insist on “the truth” without regard for feelings. Zhukov (SLE) rudely cuts him off if they try to “educate” him.
5. Suggestive (5th) function - LIE (Jack London), LSE (Stirlitz)
Need for external guidance: Expects others to tell them “what is right”. Want someone else to set moral guidelines.
Such people are characterized by the desire to get as much information as possible about people and their relationships in order to know how to communicate with them. They themselves have little understanding of this, but they are very much concerned about how others treat them. Can be gullible or overly suspicious. Therefore, they are looking for a partner people with high moral values, who will give the right advice on how and where to behave, not deceive at the same time and take some of the moral responsibility.
Trust in tradition: Rely on proven norms rather than their own feelings. May behave inappropriately in unfamiliar company without prompting, so they attach themselves to a familiar group for fear of losing established relationships.
Example: LIE (Jack London) appreciates when loved ones tell him or her “what's right.” LSE (Stirlitz) prefers simple and clear principles of behavior and try to be very conscientious.
6. Activation (6th) function - ILI (Balzac) and SLI (Gabin)
Positive attitude toward relationship ethics: Respects fairness and morality. Respect justice. The person perceives this aspect as pleasurable. Likes it when others are ethical: values predictability, politeness, lack of pressure.
Healthy team relationships put them in a good mood and boost productivity. Activation White ethicists are usually not very well versed in relationships, but are very interested in how to build them. Therefore, they are often fascinated by various theories that give the opportunity to manage relationships and are grateful to people who have shown them an example of proper relationship building.
Stimulation: Self-esteem depends on attitude, want to be considered good and build good relationships with others.
They do not independently analyze the “correctness” of relationships, but feel discomfort in case of obvious violations (rudeness, betrayal). Loyal to “their own”: if a person has entered the circle of trust, he is forgiven minor ethical faults. Do not like moralizing: irritated when they try to “educate” or impose norms.
Example: Balzac (ILI) values honesty and morality, but may not understand the intricacies of personal relationships. In close relationships, he is tolerant of others' weaknesses. Gaben (SLI) is irritated by hypocrisy: if someone violates the norms that he himself preaches.
7. Ignoring (7th, “restrictive”) function - EIE (Hamlet) and ESE (Hugo)
Irony and skepticism of formal morality: See hypocrisy in “correct” norms.
Use of norms as a tool: Can manipulate notions of “duty” and “justice”. Pressured to feel a sense of duty or guilt.
Such people, in order to protect themselves from unpleasant influences, begin to shame their opponents and appeal to their conscience, or release tension by criticizing the moral qualities of others after the unpleasant events have occurred.
Example: Hamlet (EIE) denounces “false morality” in others, denounces “double standards”. Hugo (ESE) pressures a sense of duty to get his way, demands loyalty, but does not always show it himself.
8. Background (8th) function - SEI (Dumas), IEI (Yesenin)
Automatic harmonization: Unobtrusively create a comfortable atmosphere. Do not think about rules, but intuitively create harmony.
Conflict avoidance: Do not like moralizing, prefer soft solutions. Prefer soft, non-conflict forms of interaction.
Such people intuitively feel well when you can and need to put in motion their charm and do not hesitate to use it. Relationships with people build freely, and from the outside it seems that they all find common ground, that it is impossible to offend them and can not dislike. For this they do not make special efforts, because they build relationships with others at a subconscious level.
Example: Dumas (SEI) discreetly smooths out sharp corners without unnecessary talk. Yesenin (IEI) senses when it is better to keep silent.
Fi in different positions:
Strength and consistency in basic types (ESI, EII): internal moral code and relationship building skills
Flexibility in creative types (SEE, IEE): rational adaptation to the situation, tactical use, distance play
Tension in role (LII, LSI): external demonstration of ethics, “correctness”
Vulnerability in the painful (ILE, SLE): lack of understanding of unspoken rules, awkwardness in following social norms
Need for support in the suggestive (LIE, LSE): expectation of external moral guidance
External stimulation in activators (ILI, SLI): respect for justice, morality, desire for good relations
Rational control in the observational (ESE, EIE): сriticizing hypocrisy, formal morality, manipulating norms, using them for their own purposes
Unconscious manifestations in the background (SEE, IEE): intuitive maintenance of harmony without reflection
Se (Black Sensorics, Power Sensorics in Model A) is the aspect responsible for - will, pressure, ability to push and resist pressure, control of territory and resources, ability to assess the balance of power, direct confrontation and forceful methods.
1. Base (1st) function - in SLE (Zhukov) and SEE (Napoleon)
Natural use of force: constant control of space. Automatic assessment of the balance of power in any situation. Rigid defense of one's interests.
In addition to external expansion, the Se is characterized by the ability to defend its own and fight back against any external pressure.
Example: SLE (Zhukov) - straightforward pressure, physical dominance. Zhukov, as a logician, tends to be a leader whom everyone respects, perhaps even fears. SEE (Napoleon) - strategic use of force to influence. Napoleon believes that everyone should love him because he is the best.
2. Creative (2nd) function - in LSI (Maxim) and ESI (Dreiser)
Flexibility: Force as a tool to maintain order. Knows how to adjust their ways of pressure and dominance, flexible in their use of force. Knows how to adapt pressure mechanisms to the circumstances and situation.
Example: Maxim (LSI) is intolerant of any disorder within the system existing in his head. According to his ideas, the system is stable when it is based on strict subordination, so he tries to achieve the stability of this system by forceful methods, ESI (Dreiser) knows how to bend people to his system of ethical values, which are of paramount importance to him. With all his might he will protect his relationships. For a loved one will go to any lengths, regardless of the consequences of trying to exert pressure can fight back.
3. Role (3rd) function - IEE (Huxley) and ILE (Don Quixote)
Demonstration of strength in stressful situations. Lack of confidence in one's strength capabilities.
Role Black Sensorics like to portray themselves as strong and determined, capable of being a leader and fighting back. But if it has to be done for a long time, they often get exhausted and pass. But, if it is not associated with great effort (for example, in the position of the boss), such people ostentatiously command and play a tough leader, often overreacting. Both Don and Hexley are stubborn and unyielding to others, but at the same time not demanding enough of themselves. Don't like to take responsibility for their words and are often not obligatory.
Example: IEE (Hexley) can try resisting others, bragging and acting like a boss, ILE (Don Quixote) may have sudden outbursts of aggression, unwillingness to obey.
4. Painful (4th) function - EII (Dostoevsky) and LII (Robespierre)
Vulnerability: Weak understanding of force interactions. Fear of direct pressure. Inability to behave in a confrontational situation. Weak understanding of the balance of power. Inability to dominate.
Painful black sensorics feel that they are being pressured by everyone and organically cannot tolerate it. They cannot push back themselves. Advice to “be more persistent” only makes both of them irritated.
Example: EII (Dostoevsky) shies away from confrontation, disapproves of any violence, LII (Robespierre) inadequately assesses his strength, does not understand how to behave when under pressure.
5. Suggestive (5th) function - IEI (Yesenin) and ILI (Balzac).
Need for support: The need for a strong protector. Idealization of strong-willed people. Love for the strong-willed manifestations of others.
Both are quite soft and subtle, so it is difficult for them to resist direct forceful pressure. Balzac and Yesenin appreciate partners who know how to exert forceful pressure. They do not mind to do it themselves, so they listen to the advice of such partners.
To develop Se in themselves are interested in various ways of self-defense, although in practice they can not always apply it.
Example: ILI (Balzac) relies on someone to protect him, likes to be motivated, IEI (Yesenin) appreciates determined partners, likes to see someone achieve goals.
6. Activation (6th) function - LIE (Jack London) and EIE (Hamlet)
External Stimulation: Respect for strength, love when achieving something, wanting to be considered strong. These types of people often use proven methods of pressure positively evaluated by others.
They like to be helped to achieve their goals and told how to use forceful pressure. Their self-esteem increases if they succeed.
Stimulation: Can play along, but not as a basic Fe types, but more as a “co-conspirator”. ILE's self-esteem rises if he manages to achieve comfort through emotional influences on others, and SLE's if his supremacy and right to give instructions is recognized as a result. Otherwise, the mood of both of them deteriorates to the point of aggression.
Example: EIE (Hamlet) - uses public attacks on rivals, displays provocative behavior, LIE (Jack) - uses power as a resource for a cause, wants to appear decisive.
7. Ignoring (7th, “restrictive”) function - SEI (Dumas) and SLI (Gabin)
The irony of excessive aggression: Passive resistance to pressure. Ignoring Se serves to shield the individual from unpleasant or dangerous extraneous influences. These soft and good-hearted by nature people to the last use a simple defense argument “I do not want”, but if they are pissed off, they can rigidly defend their interests.
They can enforce their boundaries smoothly but confidently.
Example: SEI (Dumas) - walks away from conflict with a smile. SLI (Gabin) - ignores the aggressor.
8. Background (8th) function - ESE (Hugo) and LSE (Stirlitz)
Unconscious use of power. Force as a background for influence. Representatives of these types energetically settle the surrounding territory. Although they do not openly assert their rights to leadership, they are often perceived by others as such.
And if anyone begins to object to the order established by them, then some elusive signs and actions they make it clear who is the master here. And all this turns out so naturally that those who doubted realize that no one can cope better.
Example: ESE has charismatic dominance, self-confidence, LSEs are straightforward and firm.
Se in different positions:
Strength in basic types (SEE, SLE): natural power dominance, the ability to get their way.
Flexibility in creative types (LSI, ESI): rational use of force
Tension in role (IEE, ILE): demonstrating strength under stress, feigned self-confidence
Vulnerability in the painful (LII, EII): fear of confrontation
Need for support in the suggestive (ILI, IEI): need for a protector and support
External stimulation in activators (LIE, EIE): respect for strength, desire to achieve
Rational control in the observational (SEI, SLI): irony over aggression, ignoring forceful pressure on oneself
Unconscious manifestations in the background (ESE, LSE): unconscious use of power
Si (White Sensorics, or Sensations Sensorics in Model A) is the aspect responsible for comfort and harmony of physical sensations, ability to create coziness and pleasant atmosphere, perception of tastes, smells, tactile sensations, care for health and bodily well-being, aesthetics of the surrounding space
1. Base (1st) function - SEI (Dumas) and SLI (Gabin)
Natural creation of comfort and coziness. A subtle perception of bodily sensations and the environment. Such people have a good sense of their own body, its condition and needs. They are calm and balanced, do not impose their interests, but actively protect them, instantly determining whether something threatens their well-being. The main thing for them is comfort: coziness, comfortable clothes, delicious food.
Example: SEI (Dumas) - master of creating a harmonious atmosphere, SLI (Gaben) - appreciates convenience and practical comfort.
2. Creative (2nd) function - ESE (Hugo) and LSE (Stirlitz)
Flexible manipulation of comfort to achieve goals. People with creative Si appreciate and know how to create coziness and always take care of their health and the health of their loved ones.
Such people are resourceful in matters of fashion, cooking and comfort. They attach great importance to appearance and have good taste, as well as love and know how to cook well.
Example: ESE (Hugo) - uses coziness as a tool of influence, likes to receive guests so much that he can “suffocate” with his hospitality. LSE (Stirlitz) - organizes space for effective work.
3. Role (3rd) function - ILI (Balzac) and IEI (Yesenin)
People with role Si try to prove themselves in this field, though it doesn't always work out well. Demonstrating concern for comfort in stressful situations. Sometimes willing to outwardly show caring. Both can cook for guests exquisite dishes and dress fashionably, but after seeing the guests off, they will not try for themselves. Cooking for themselves is long and boring, and there is no one to evaluate their appearance.
They prefer not to focus on Si for long, the long display of Si exhausts them.
Example: ILI (Balzac) - can suddenly show concern for household and physical comfort, but not for long. IEI (Esenin) - can sometimes create a romantic atmosphere through physical things.
4. Painful (4th) function - LIE (Jack London) and EIE (Hamlet)
Poor attention to bodily needs. Have problems with organizing personal comfort. The inability to adequately assess one's own sensations leads to either ignoring or overestimating them. This can be expressed in complete indifference to their own appearance and health, or on the contrary, to excessive concern about their appearance or search for non-existent diseases. They may also have strange tastes and preferences in food.
Example: LIE (Jack) - may forget to eat/sleep when working, EIE (Hamlet) - dramatizes physical discomfort.
5. Suggestive (5th) function - ILE (Don Quixote) and IEE (Huxley)
Need for external regulation of comfort. Love to receive information about self-care, apartment design, healthy lifestyle. They are eager to talk about it and offer various ideas to improve their comfort.
Their main problem is that they do not always understand the reason for their poor health. Both can forget to eat, overheat in the sun or on the contrary, sitting in a draught, get sick. Therefore, all their accumulated knowledge in this area will lead to nothing if there is no one around who will create a comfortable environment and in time will prompt how to dress for the weather and establish a household.
Example: ILE (Don Quixote) - needs reminders of everyday life, IEE (Hexley) - appreciates being taken care of, e.g., having delicious food cooked for them.
6. Activation (6th) function - LII (Robespierre) and EII (Dostoevsky)
Positive attitude to comfort, want to be able to organize their own household and care. They listen to the opinion of relatives and friends in matters of health and comfort. They do not experiment in this area themselves, because they do not want to make mistakes.
In general, if they are properly taught, they cope with household matters quite well. Therefore, in order not to have problems in this area, they can even enroll in some courses.
Example: LII (Robespierre) - appreciates a comfortable workplace, and care for his health, or when he is helped to pick out his clothes. EII (Dostoevsky) - likes coziness and pleasant physical sensations.
7. Ignoring (7th, “restrictive”) function - SLE (Zhukov) and SEE (Napoleon)
Neglect of comfort, the ability to not focus on sensations, to ignore them. Can work/perform under extreme conditions (sleep deprivation, cold, hunger) demonstrating “willpower”. Ignores fatigue/illnesses until they become critical.
Example: SLE (Zhukov) openly despises pampering, considers concern for bodily needs a sign of weakness, is annoyed at those who “focus too much on convenience.” SEE (Napoleon) in personal space can live in chaos as long as it doesn't interfere with goals.
8. Background (8th) function - ESI (Dreiser) and LSI (Maxim)
Automatic maintenance of order and hygiene. These people solve issues of comfort, everyday life, health, and beauty automatically, quickly and without unnecessary words. Subconsciously they track and maintain their feelings and comfort of the environment. Once in a new place they first of all begin to establish and organize the household. If you are close to them, you can be sure that you will be taken care of. Untended and hungry you will definitely not stay.
Background Si discreetly maintains neatness: wipes the dust, corrects crooked curtains. Irritated at dirt, but rarely makes remarks - just eliminates it himself. In a guest discreetly washes a cup for everyone if he sees a mess.
Example: ESI (Dreiser) - discreetly maintains cleanliness, chooses comfortable clothes/furniture, but without aesthetics - functionality is the main thing. LSI (Maxim) - organizes space according to the rules, controls health through routine (daily regimen, tested medications).
Si in different positions:
Strength and sensitivity in basic types (SEI, SLI): natural comfort creation, good understanding of sensations
Flexibility in creative types (ESE, LSE): using comfort as a tool
Tension in role (ILI, IEI): demonstrating concern for comfort under stress
Vulnerability in the painful (LIE, EIE): problems with organizing personal comfort
Need for support in the suggestive (ILE, IEE): need for external comfort care
External stimulation in activators (LII, EII): positive but shallow attitude towards comfort, desire for a good understanding of one's sensations
Rational control in the observational (SLE, SEE): disregard for comfort
Unconscious manifestations in the background (ESI, LSI): automatic housekeeping
Ne (Black Intuition, Possibilities Intuition in Model A) is the aspect responsible for vision of potential, generation of non-standard solutions, ideas generation, ability to find new opportunities
1. Base (1st) function - IEE (Huxley) and ILE (Don Quixote)
Natural, continuous generation of ideas, seeing multiple options in any situation.
Idea Generator: Constantly sees new opportunities and perspectives, literally “fountains” with ideas.
Master of improvisation: Can find non-standard solutions in real time.
Pioneer of new directions: First to spot promising but not yet obvious opportunities.
Example: ILE (Don Quixote) - able to see the potential in the most unusual things, interested in learning about the world as such, he is attracted to unusual theories and often offers unorthodox solution, IEE (Hexley) - master of finding unexpected approaches, can make a correct impression of a person on the first minutes of communication and decide what to expect from this person.
2. Creative (2nd) function - LII (Robespierre) and EII (Dostoevsky)
Flexible application of intuition to solve specific problems.
Sensing the hidden potential in things and ideas. Ability to manage ideas and opportunities adaptively. A creative Ne is quite good at assessing the prevailing conditions in each particular situation, as well as being able to identify opportunities in a particular situation.
Example: LII (Robespierre) - uses intuition to systematize knowledge, sees prospects for the development of systems and theories. EII (Dostoevsky) - finds non-obvious ways to harmonize relationships, tries to see the positive character traits in each person, believes that good traits can be developed and negative traits can be corrected with patience and ingenuity.
3. Role (3rd) function - SEE (Napoleon) and SLE (Zhukov)
Demonstrating intuitive abilities in tense situations. In a crisis situation they can unexpectedly offer a creative solution. Uses intuition to anticipate people's behavior. In negotiations, senses when it is possible to change tactics unexpectedly and achieve success.
Role black intuitives try to give the impression of a person far-sighted and judicious, who knows everything about everyone. They like to talk about their influence and coolness, often falsely and themselves starting to believe it.
However, when faced with the first difficulties about their plans forget and begin to look for a way out of the situation.
Example: SEE (Napoleon) - in negotiation, senses when it is possible to change tactics unexpectedly and achieve success. SLE (Zhukov) - when plan A fails, instantly offers a radical but workable plan B.
4. Painful (4th) function - ESI (Dreiser) and LSI (Maxim)
Painful Ne avoid any uncertainty and try to eliminate ambiguity from their lives. They need to know everything in advance. They are afraid of the unexpected and expect a catch from every situation, and if something does happen, they find it difficult to find a way out of the situation. They have difficulty choosing the right decision, not being able to predict what will be better. This is not the case when they know exactly what they need. They don't like to make choices even in the simplest of everyday situations. It is difficult for them to be flexible and adapt to the situation. Multiple variations in the development of a situation throw them out of balance.
Demonstrate difficulty in assessing prospects and opportunities. Mistrustful of new ideas, prefers the tried and tested, has difficulty accepting change, requires proof of perspective.
Example: ESI (Dreiser) - skeptical of new ideas, rejects innovative proposal and experiments. LSI (Maxim) - prefers proven ways, tries to stand on his own, does not like surprises.
5. Suggestive (5th) function - SEI (Dumas) and SLI (Gabin)
Need for external sources of ideas and inspiration. They believe everything unusual, love fiction, unconventional theories and statements, because they need something unusual and fresh. However, they don't know what it is. In addition, they do not distinguish the real possible from fakes and may believe in unprecedented stories. Needs people to show new horizons.
Example: SEI (Dumas) - appreciates people who show new possibilities and Inspired by ideas, SLI (Gabin) - needs hints about promising directions.
6. Activation (6th) function - ESE (Hugo) and LSE (Stirlitz)
A positive attitude toward new opportunities. Such people appreciate unusualness in life, and try to find non-standard ways of solving problems. But not understanding which of the variants of activity is actually promising, both prefer in their work proven methods that are positively evaluated and recommended by authoritative people. Their self-esteem depends on how much they can come up with new and nonstandard.
Example: ESE (Hugo) - uses intuitive insights to influence, senses when to take risks. LSE (Stirlitz) - considers options when planning.
7. Ignoring (7th, “restrictive”) function - ILI (Balzac) and IEI (Yesenin)
Subconsciously understanding the possibilities of objects, people and phenomena, these people defend themselves by denying the correctness of undesirable actions and accusing people of incompetence. If someone persistently imposes their opinion on them, they fight back with phrases like “it doesn't happen like that”, “you don't know, don't tell”. Black intuition is practically not used by them in ordinary life, but it works perfectly in critical moments, preventing disasters. They restrict others from foolish ideas. Consciously neglecting to analyze opportunities.
Example: ILI (Balzac) - skepticism towards new ideas, finds weaknesses in any innovative idea. IEI (Yesenin) - prefers dreams to real opportunities, talks about a wonderful future, but does not take steps to achieve it.
8. Background (8th) function - LIE (Jack London) and EIE (Hamlet)
Unconscious use of intuitive insights. People of this type “feel with their spinal cord” the prospects and possibilities of the world around them and grab the most appealing ones.
They are sure that they will never miss their chance and will get out of any difficult situation. And it is so natural for them that they are surprised when others do not take advantage of these opportunities. Automatically calculates options without thinking about them.
Example: LIE (Jack) - when solving a problem, sees several ways of its realization at once, EIE (Hamlet) - uses intuition to dramatize events, senses what idea needs to be presented dramatically for maximum impact.
Ne in different positions:
Strength in basic types (IEE, ILE): constant generation of ideas
Flexibility in creative types (LII, EII): flexible application of intuition
Tension in role (SLE, SEE): demonstrating ingenuity in front of society
Vulnerability in the painful (LSI, ESI): difficulty in assessing possibilities
Need for support in the suggestive (SEI, SLI): need for outside ideas
External stimulation in activators (ESE, LSE): superficial use of opportunities, trying to be creative and consider different variations
Rational control in the observational (ILI, IEI): skepticism about new opportunities
Unconscious manifestations in the background (LIE, EIE): unconscious use of intuition
Ni (White Intuition, Time Intuition in Model A) is the aspect responsible for the optimal choice of the right moment of time, internal rhythms of life, control of the situation in dynamics. It allow you to feel how time is running, a sense of timeliness. People with strong white intuition choose the right moment for action.
1. Base (1st) function - ILI (Balzac) and IEI (Yesenin)
Fine sense of the passage of time, its cycles and patterns. Feels the connection of time, subtle cultural and historical parallels.
The basic function is quite conservative and straightforward. If a person with basic white intuition feels that it is necessary to do something right now, they will do it, even against accepted morality or common sense. Conversely, it's hard to get them to do something for which the time has not come. Therefore, Yesenin's and Balzac's views on the world are rather fatalistic.
Example: Example: ILI (Balzac) accurately anticipates the development of events without emotional coloring, sees the true causes and trends of the situation. IEI (Yesenin) perceives time as a flow of emotions and experiences, in art creates works that convey the spirit of the era, always knows the direction of public opinion, or, as they say, “where the wind blows”.
2. Creative (2nd) function - LIE (Jack London) and EIE (Hamlet)
Creative white intuitives feel great in a fast-paced situation. The creative function is not as strong as the basic function in determining timeliness, but it is more flexible.
Creative white intuitives find the perfect moment to take action.
Example: Hamlet (EIE) is a master of time manipulation, he has an equally excellent sense of rhythm and can pull a pause, knows when it is better to take the initiative and when to keep silent. Hamlet feels time strategically, he knows when to speak globally to attract attention and achieve something significant. Jack (LIE) knows how to put time at the service of his business acumen. He knows when to wait and when it's time to act. Utilizes his sense of timing for optimal planning. In a project, determines exactly how much time will be needed for each stage of the project.
3. Role (3rd) function - SLI (Gabin) and SEI (Dumas)
Putting on such a mask people try to look punctual, remember important matters and like to make various predictions. However, they can waste other people's time easily, do not pay attention to the unpunctuality of others, and their predictions in most cases do not come true, as they are based on superficial and formulaic ideas.
Role is far from a basic function that can take into account all factors and make the right conclusions regarding the development of events.
Example: SLI (Gabin) - unexpectedly accurately calculates the time required to complete a job in the event of a deadline. SEI (Dumas) - sometimes unexpectedly shows a sense of the moment, in an argument suddenly finds the perfect time for a joke that defuses the situation.
4. Painful (4th) function - LSE (Stirlitz) and ESE (Hugo)
Experiences difficulty in estimating time intervals. Takes on many tasks at the same time without realistic deadlines. is constantly late or, on the contrary, arrives too early. Often overestimates his ability to keep up with everything.
A person with undeveloped Ni poorly calculates the time required for any actions. Painful white intuitives try to do a lot of things in a limited period of time, not realizing that there is not enough time. They do not think about the timeliness of their actions at all.
Situations of fatalism, when everything is predetermined and there are no options, unnerve them and throw them off balance.
Example: ESI (Dreiser) - Stirlitz (LSE) does not like to waste time, and he tries not to do business with those who do not value his time. The need to work under time constraints and unforeseen delays makes him extremely nervous. Hugo (ESE) thinks he can do more than is possible. Because of the constant time pressure, he has nervous overload and fatigue accumulates. You can often notice how Hugo, coming to a meeting, immediately begins to frantically rush somewhere. Afraid of being late, he may come to the meeting earlier or not show up at all.
5. Suggestive (5th) function - SEE (Napoleon) and SLE (Zhukov)
Needs external cues about time frames. Needs temporal reference points and predictions of developments. They have no sense of timeliness at all and often do not realize that something is required of them at the moment.
They respect accuracy and punctuality, so they often listen to advice on the timing and duration of actions. Believe in omens and various predictions and can be punctured by it, especially if the counselor with intuition of time is not very good. Constantly feel the need to anticipate the future and need helpers to make plans, which will correctly prompt when to start and how long it will last.
Example: SLE (Zhukov) - requires clear time guidelines, in the military values a strict daily routine as an external regulator, SEE (Napoleon) - relies on the secretary for scheduling.
6. Activation (6th) function - ESI (Dreiser) and LSI (Maxim)
Respects established time traditions. Creates his/her own timekeeping systems.
Such people prefer to plan their time in advance. They try not to be late, not to delay work or generally do it early, so that they are not rushed at the end. If the deadline is unknown they start to get nervous, so they need to know the exact time frame of their actions. Both of these personality types need someone who can accurately indicate the timing of events and approve the correctness of their plans.
Example: ESI (Dreiser) - accurately observes anniversaries and holidays as social markers of time. LSI (Maxim) - keeps detailed diaries and chronicles events.
7. Ignoring (7th, “restrictive”) function - ILE (Don Quixote) and
IEE (Huxley)
Could deliberately violate the time standards. Ignores chronology, creating its own temporal reality.
In ordinary life, both have a good sense of timeliness of actions, but not in themselves but in others. Therefore, they often rightly criticize others for missing moments. In a calm situation they themselves are “out of time”. However, in critical moments, this function works for them at the right time, allowing them to limit the influence of others.
In tense situations, they try to speed up the end of unpleasant events: “let's finish it faster” or, on the contrary, postpone their occurrence by referring to the lack of time: ”I have no time”
Example: ILE (Don Quixote) - intentionally late for meetings, considering it a display of individuality. IEE (Hexley) - deliberately messes up the time layers in the stories.
8. Background (8th) function - EII (Dostoevsky) and LII (Robespierre)
Automatically senses the passage of time. Always intuitively knows how much time has passed without a watch. Subconsciously considers time patterns.
People of this type have an innate sense of time. They are very punctual, although they do not put any effort into it. The rhythm of their life is measured and stable, rarely anyone manages to break it. They choose the time for action without thinking, as people do not think about how to breathe. They feel well when it is necessary to perform this or that action, they see historical perspectives and can give out time predictions quite accurately.
Example: LII (Robespierre) - in the research unknowingly distinguishes historical cycles, EII (Dostoevsky) - watches the passage of time unconsciously.
Ni in different positions:
Strength in basic types (ILI, IEI): natural sense of timing, accurate predictions
Flexibility in creative types (LIE, EIE): flexible use of time as a tool
Tension in role (SLI, SEI): demonstrating a sense of time in stressful situations
Vulnerability in the painful (LSE, ESE): time management difficulties
Need for support in the suggestive (SEE, SLE): need for external time reference points
External stimulation in activators (ESI, LSI): respect for routines, but without a deep understanding of temporal patterns
Rational control in the observational (ILE, SLE): deliberate violation of time standards
Unconscious manifestations in the background (LII, EII): automatic sense of time without reflection
Te (Black Logic, Business Logic in Model A) is the aspect responsible for focus on objective reality and factual information, process optimization, rational use of resources, efficiency and benefit analysis, pragmatism.
1. Base (1st) function - LIE (Jack London) and LSE (Stirlitz)
Creation of new effective techniques, finding the optimal ways.
Everything is subordinated to the idea of expediency and benefit. For this purpose, basic human beings build the whole chain of actions that will lead to the goal. They are enterprising, clearly know what they need to do themselves and others, can well organize the process. The best entrepreneurs are business logics. Due to the straightforwardness of the basic function, it is very difficult to entice them into unprofitable or useless activities from their point of view.
Example: Example: LSE (Stirlitz) - establishes clear work processes. LIE (Jack London) - develops a unique business model by combining seemingly incompatible approaches.
2. Creative (2nd) function - ILI (Balzac) und SLI (Gabin)
Creative Te is well able to see what action he needs, what benefit this or that action will bring. He is able to find flaws, to see what to do is inexpedient. Farsighted. Creative black logics know how to find the right solutions, inventive, feel the benefits. They try not to engage in useless or unnecessary work, and all the work try to bring to the end.
Creative Te is always focused on objective reality and on concrete facts. He is able to be guided by these facts in life when deciding how to act in a given situation.
Example: Balzac (ILI) likes to instruct or criticize others because by giving advice he realizes his basic time intuition. Because his base is “foresee the future”, Balzac tries never to risk anything and always thinks about the consequences of his participation in anything. Gabin's (SLI) business logic solves the problems of his basic function - to achieve maximum comfort, both in the process of work and in the final result. He solves any problem or technical task methodically and rationally, dividing it into several stages. Scientific discoveries interest him from the point of view of practical application. Gabin does everything unhurriedly, enjoying the very process of work.
3. Role (3rd) function - EIE (Hamlet) and ESE (Hugo)
Incorporates rationality when appropriate. Can evaluate benefits, but tires of taking a long time to do so.
Role black logicians believe that people should not be idle. They try to give the impression of people active and business people who are well versed in business and economics. At the same time can not calculate their strength and when it comes to the daily routine work, aimed at the end result, all their mood is lost. If they choose the wrong sequence of actions, they quickly get tired and often do not bring what they have started to the end.
Example: Hamlet (EIE) can be unexpectedly calculating, Example: Hugo (ESE) in negotiations calculates financial implications.
4. Painful (4th) function - IEI (Yesenin) and SEI (Dumas)
It's stressful to calculate the benefits. Poorly oriented in concrete objective facts. Does not consider efficiency as something worthy of attention. Difficult to be productive. Confused when trying to optimize household budget.
A person may be quite professional in his or her field, but not confident in the results of his or her work. This results in a desire to “not stand out”, to avoid evaluations of one's activity at all.
Example: Yesenin (IEI) - panics when needing to make a financial statement, SEI (Dumas) - gets lost in complex calculations.
5. Suggestive (5th) function - ESI (Dreiser) and EII (Dostoevsky)
People of this personality type like to collect useful tips. Both are quite easy to cope with work where methods and goals are clearly stated and try not to invent anything new where everything works as it is.
Since business advice is treated uncritically, they may choose the wrong course of action, recipe or get involved in questionable ventures. Choosing from equally important options is not their strong point, so they need people who can clearly set the task and indicate ways to solve it.
Such people want to be useful.
Example: ESI (Dreiser) - asks the supervisor to detail the algorithm of actions, EII (Dostoevsky) - waiting for advice on what to do from others.
6. Activation (6th) function - SEE (Napoleon) and IEE (Huxley)
For these types of people, only those activities that have a clear justification matter. Hexley acts according to the principle “Tell me how to do - I will think”, and Napoleon according to the principle “Tell me what is necessary and why, and I will do better than anyone else”.
Both find it difficult to operate with logical concepts and to formulate tasks accurately, but if the teacher turned out to be good, everything will be done properly.
The self-esteem of activational black logicians is enhanced when they have been able to choose the right order of action to get the job done. So if you want to improve their performance, praise them for their successes and resourcefulness in completing tasks.
Example: SEE (Napoleon) - inspires the team with possible accomplishments. IEE (Hexley) - finds unusual uses for standard techniques.
7. Ignoring (7th, “restrictive”) function - LSI (Maxim) and LII (Robespierre)
Subconsciously, when the cup of patience is overflowing, they first of all try to limit their contacts with the source of trouble by saying “none of your business” or vice versa, “leave me out of your business”.
They can just as easily interrupt the unpleasant process itself - turn off the mechanism or get out of the case.
May ignore practical applicability. Can see disadvantageous actions.
Example: LII (Robespierre) - creates an ideal but dysfunctional classification, prioritizes theory over practice. LSI (Maxim) - can ignore the benefit.
8. Background (8th) function - SLE (Zhukov) and ILE (Don Quixote)
People of these types instinctively choose the right technological solutions and know without explanation what to do and in what order.
They have innate organizational skills and can always lead a group of people on the way to achieving the goal. And most people around them recognize their leadership in these matters. Unconsciously builds processes, unconsciously simplifies complex workflows.
Example: SLE (Zhukov) - intuitively selects the optimal balance of power, ILE (Don Quixote) - may not even notice their systemic improvements, because it's obvious enough.
Te in different positions:
Strength in basic types (LIE, LSE): сontinuous vision of efficiency and benefits
Flexibility in creative types (ILI, SLI): flexible optimization
Tension in role (ESE, EIE): situational effectiveness and superficiality
Vulnerability in the painful (IEI, SEI): not always the ability to make favorable calculations
Need for support in the suggestive (EII, ESI): accepting advice on beneficial actions
External stimulation in activators (IEE, SEE): desire to be useful and effective
Rational control in the observational (LII, LSI): disregard for usefulness
Unconscious manifestations in the background (ILE, SLE): intuitive and unconscious effectiveness
Ti (White Logic, Structural Logic in Model A) is the socionic aspect responsible for understanding patterns, systems, classifications, formal rules and objective relationships.
1. Base (1st) function - LII (Robespierre) and LSI (Maxim)
Confident mastery: a person naturally operates with systems, classifications, algorithms.
Worldview: the world is perceived as an ordered structure, where everything can be laid out.
Example: Example: Maxim's (LSI) idea of order is based on his own experience and it is almost impossible to change his mind about something until he feels the changes on himself: “My system is my rules”. He strictly follows the rules and the system he has built in his head. Robespierre (LII), on the other hand, as an intuitive, builds his logical constructions based on intuitive ideas about the ways of their development. It is also difficult to change his mind, unless he comes up with another theory of what is going on.
2. Creative (2nd) function - ILE (Don Quixote) and SLE (Zhukov)
Creative White logics easily and quickly master exact sciences, foreign languages and computer. They are able to understand the connections between events, build various classifications, and logically explain the causes of phenomena.
They are lovers of gathering information, processing it, and drawing conclusions. They use structures flexibly.
Example: Don (ILE) has an outstanding associative thinking, which allows him to make very bold and unorthodox decisions based on the information he receives. Sometimes his unusual associations and conclusions can be expressed out of place and embarrass others. SLE (Zhukov) is constantly learning and gathering information to apply it to expand his living space and to make people respect himself.
3. Role (3rd) function - ESI (Dreiser) and EII (Dostoevsky)
Demonstration in tension: tries to appear logical, but quickly tires of systematization.
Uncertainty: can become overwhelmed by rules.
In an unfamiliar environment role white logicians try to adhere to certain formalities and rules, to do everything, “as it is necessary”, as the law dictates. Thus they try to make an impression of reasonable and logical people for what operate pre-prepared arguments. However, it is difficult for them to adhere to logical reasoning for a long time and go beyond the prepared arguments, so all their conclusions may lead to nothing.
Example: ESI (Dreiser) - tries to comply with the law, EII (Dostoevsky) - follows rules and regulations.
4. Painful (4th) function - SEE (Napoleon) and IEE (Huxley)
It is difficult for them to distinguish the main from the secondary, and as a consequence to perform logical analysis of a phenomenon or a document. When explaining something, painful white logicians can start right in the middle, constantly jumping from topic to topic, without revealing the essence. Often do not understand the causes of phenomena, do not always act structurally. Have difficulty making logical connections.
Example: SEE (Napoleon) - can act impulsively and unstructurally, IEE (Hexley) - can get confused about logical connections and be too chaotic.
5. Suggestive (5th) function - EIE (Hamlet) and ESE (Hugo)
Susceptible to external logic: waits for clear explanations.
Such people from childhood like to have something explained to them: how atoms are organized, who is stronger than a tiger or a lion, and so on. They gladly watch all kinds of popular science programs and like to retell them.
Still suggestible white logicians are among the few who study various instructions and rules.
Example: ESE (Hugo) - gets excited when the system is explained to him, EIE (Hamlet) - likes to follow clear hierarchical systems.
6. Activation (6th) function - SEI (Dumas) and IEI (Yesenin)
Dumas and Yesenin expect a positive evaluation of their activities from those who will help them with the interpretation of the laws and fulfillment of the necessary formalities.
They like it when the reasons for certain phenomena are explained to them, they strive to understand them, when they understand and go into the essence of phenomena, their self-esteem increases.
Example: SEI (Dumas) - likes to discuss logical structures, IEI (Yesenin) - likes to be given explanations for phenomena.
7. Ignoring (7th, “restrictive”) function - LIE (Jack London) and LSE (Stirlitz)
They see when others break logic, but don't delve into it themselves. For them, practical applications and concrete objective facts are more important than abstract and pointless theories.
In defense, they become stubborn pedants, demanding unconditional adherence to all rules and agreements: “leave me alone, I will do as I should, according to the letter of the law”.
Example: LIE (Jack London) - can criticize someone's illogical plan. LSE (Stirlitz) - doesn't like to dwell on theory.
8. Background (8th) function - ILI (Balzac) and SLI (Gabin)
People around them usually consider them intelligent, pragmatic people whose information can be trusted. Everything related to formal logic is solved by them subconsciously and quickly. They simply understand and without explanation give out that “this is right” or “this is better”.
Just as easily they see violations of cause-and-effect relationships, laws, rules, and feel the correctness of the laws themselves.
They apply logic unconsciously, without emphasizing it. They can draw cause-and-effect relationships unnoticed.
Example: ILI (Balzac) - sees the causes of an event well and unconsciously builds classifications, SLI (Gabin) - has a good grasp of logical structures, but doesn't get hung up on them.
Ti in different positions:
Strength in basic types (LII, LSI): sees the world as a clear system and structure where everything is in its place
Flexibility in creative types (ILE, SLE): uses structures and theories as tools
Tension in role (EII, ESI): tries to be logical and follow the rules
Vulnerability in the painful (IEE, SEE): poorly sees cause and effect, tends to be chaotic
Need for support in the suggestive (EIE, ESE): likes to be explained the causes of things
External stimulation in activators (IEI, SEI): like to understand the structure of the world and the interconnectedness of it
Rational control in the observational (LIE, LSE): disregard pointless, impractical theories
Unconscious manifestations in the background (ILI, SLI): unconscious understanding of systems and structures, patterns and interrelationships
