Tritypes Big Five

Depending on the strength of your fixations these percentages may go up or down. There’s other factors too which may influence the traits so don’t rely on this entirely as a means for assessment. However, I would say the tritypes which express the most or least of specific traits would likely not change drastically.

Socionics: Sensory Functions (Gulenko’s Descriptions)

Functional State F - Power Sensor (Se)

Intellectually, state F means the perception of strength-weakness. Thinking in this state is extremely concrete, grounded, objectified. It is necessarily accompanied by muscle sensations. Thinking technology F is most convenient to compare with “probing” or “weighing” an object. F-thinking is non-verbal - it does not use words. A person who thinks according to power sensory lowers his eyes down to the ground. He kind of listens to his body.

In society, a person with a persistent state of F claims to be the power center of the group. He intervenes in the group’s activities when he feels that he needs to speed up, slow down events or even change their direction. F-type as a conductor controls the group with one movement of the hand, turning his head or changing his body position. But he usually does not seek to stand in front of a group, to formally lead it. Therefore, another name for the F-role in society is an informal or shadow leader.

Psychologically, state F is felt as complete self-confidence. Any doubts, experiences, reflection are incompatible with this condition. The feeling of the owner, wherever the person is. The mood to win at all costs. Strong nervous system and self-control. Rapid mobilization of forces, allowing at any second to inflict or repel a blow. All these are unambiguous psychological signs of condition F.

At the physical level, this condition requires a massive, poured body. There are few movements, but all of them are made firmly, in one jerk, without pauses. Static pose of a man standing firmly with both feet on the ground. The look is sharp, intense, heavy. With this look, they sort of weigh, evaluate the balance of power. Despite being firmly grounded, the axis of rotation seems to pass through the body: state F is very reversible - the body easily rotates in any direction, quickly responding to the situation from the front, back, and side.

Functional State S - Sensory Sensations (Si)

Intellectual activity in state S is the processing of signals from all the senses. In state S, a person absorbs all the influences from the outside world - sounds, smells, touch, temperature - and compares them with each other in a single sensory complex. The difference from state F is that the emphasis is on the dynamics of sensations - on whether they amplify or weaken, harmoniously combine or act differently. In state S, a man again thinks not with words and not with pictures, but with his whole body.

Stable states of S lead at the social level to an informal role in the team, which is called the closer, or decorator. Such a person manifests himself well when the external environment, perceived through the senses, is in a harmonious state. S-type avoids the activities that accompany discomfort, noise, coercion, prolonged stress. Therefore, the closer is active in an isolated area of ​​society. Although its activity is limited, it is universal and diverse: monotony and repeatability are incompatible with state S.

At the psychological level, state S is experienced as pleasure, enjoyment, satiety, satisfaction of feelings of thirst or hunger. In state S, a person expresses his feelings through specific care, assistance in meeting biological needs. This condition can be compared with the process of capturing an image on a photographic film, drawing a picture on the surface of the paper, recording sound on a magnetic tape, etc. S is the most diagnosing condition: it allows you to determine the localization of pain in the body and their intensity. This condition is characterized by constant cyclic dynamics - filling and emptying of hollow organs and blood vessels with a circulating substrate.

Physically, state S is recognized by a soft and relaxed body, a comfortable posture in which the body area is in maximum contact with the surface of the support. In state S, uniform physiologically determined processes in the body are noticeable - respiration, blood circulation, heat waves. Gestures are mean and accurate, but at the same time smooth, without tension. Facial expressions are associated with a contraction of the taste muscles located around the mouth and nose. Pleasure or displeasure, pleasure or disgust is imprinted on the face.

Socionics: Intuitive Functions (Gulenko’s Descriptions)

Functional State I - Intuition Of Opportunities (Ne)

In a mental sense, intuition I is the extraction of information from the subconscious. The subconscious pantry of a person’s information is equal in volume to the outside world, therefore intuition of possibilities is the most intellectual of the functions of thinking. In state I, a person falls below the line of consciousness and draws from the depths of his intellect answers to paradoxical questions for which logic is powerless. Technologically intuitive thinking I represents operations with visual images. Vague pictures, extracted from the subconscious, are synthesized into a complex complex, which, condensing, at one moment is illuminated by a bright flash of light - an intuitive guess. In a person who thinks according to the I-method, his eyes freeze at an average level, and the pupils expand. The gaze becomes defocused.

If a person holds state I for a long time, then in society he will take the role of an intellectual leader - a generator of ideas. I-type exhibits increased intellectual activity, strives for new and complex tasks. With great difficulty, the idea generator is given standard, routine operations. He devotes all his strength to getting rid of them, inventing new approaches. A person in state I cares little about people’s opinions on his proposals and projects. Making a discovery, he satisfies his cognitive curiosity.

Psychologically, in state I, a person experiences feelings associated with self-absorption, external detachment with a strong internal concentration. This condition is reminiscent in its psychological effect of a dam break. The first stage of the intuitive process is accompanied by a painful feeling of dissatisfaction: a person does not find a place for himself, bearing an idea. The idea, it would seem, is ripening on its own, but one has to intervene in this slow process so that exactly the images that are needed come out of the subconscious. Then intellectual tension abruptly, abruptly gives way to relief and joy - the idea was finally born into the world.

On the physical level, state I turns you into a person of unusual behavior. The face becomes very expressive: a frozen, defocused look, muscles around the eyes are strained, eyebrows shifted to the bridge of the nose form vertical folds on the forehead. The body freezes in that position in which you have caught an intuitive thought. Movement freezes, statics are established. This continues until the moment of insight, after which statics suddenly gives way to violent emotional dynamics. A strong physical stimulant of state I is the feeling of swimming - immersion in water or zero gravity.

Functional State T - Intuition Of Time (Ni)

State T at the intellectual level forms the most abstract type of thinking, which reflects the global processes of the external world conditioned by time. The law of entropy - a steady transition from more organized forms of life to more chaotic and simplified - is the basis of T-thinking. Birth, formation, death and new birth in other forms - this is what information occupies the human brain in this state.

If in the I state a person obtains knowledge from within himself, from his subconscious layers of the psyche, then in the T state information comes from outside - from the Cosmos. Thinking by intuition of time occurs in dynamic visual forms. At the same time, the eyes rise and make small fluctuations, as if trying to follow the movement of the image.

The steady state of T in society leads to the consolidation of the informal role of the “reflector”. In this state, a person predicts the entire socio-psychological dynamics of the team - it is a kind of sensitive indicator of changes. It, like a drop of water, reflects all the bad and good that was, is and will be in this group of people. In the T-state of a person, a contradictory combination of the fate of the “prophet” and, at the same time, a sacrifice awaits, which everyone will accuse of common failures.

Psychologically, the T-state is experienced as victimization (sacrifice). This state is most religiously colored, as it is imbued with the desire to liberate itself from everything earthly, carnal, binding spirit. In state T, a person is drawn to a mysterious, otherworldly, transcendental. In its immoderate manifestation, it leads to hallucinations, the emergence of various mystical visions. A person with persistent T-conditions is most prone to hypnosis. Another shade of feelings of intuition of time is subject to fate, lack of free will, life at the behest of higher powers.

One of the most important signs of a T-state is the loss of sensation of your body. In the T-state, a person feels neither pain nor carnal pleasures. The lifelessness of the body is manifested in its fragility, pallor and inner emptiness. The T-state is expressed through postures of humility: lowered shoulders, retracted or, on the contrary, too elongated neck, tilted or raised head, general stooped figure. The movements in this state are uniformly slowed down and smooth. It’s like some kind of waking dream. The eyes in a person in the T-state are very sad, in them like a reflection of a dim mysterious, “moonlight”.

Socionics: Ethical Functions (Gulenko’s Descriptions)

Functional State E - Ethics Of Emotions (Fe)

Being in a state of emotional arousal, a person loses the objective rigor of his judgments and plunges into the stormy element of subjective preferences and feelings. His mind makes very partial assessments, which are just an expression of the value of an object or person for himself. The thought process in this case takes the form of speech, rich in intonations, fast in pace and extensive in verbal content. Thinking proceeds as a dialogue with a real or fictional interlocutor.

A person in state E claims the social role of an emotional “involving”. In the team, he draws attention to the mood of people and actively affects those who deviate from the general level of emotions of the group. The task of an emotional involving person is, depending on the situation, either to cheer everyone up, to amuse or inspire, or to provoke negative emotions, it is unpleasant to hurt, excite. Having completed the task of emotional involvement, the E-type switches to external communication - making contacts in other teams and assessing the state of affairs with them. This side of the informal role of a person in state E is called resource exploration.

Psychologically, state E is expressed as a person’s exciting desire, passion. It can splash out in the form of violent joy or inconsolable grief. In state E, the other person feels like himself. This is the essence of the empathy process, which is so necessary for a practicing psychologist. State E is rational, that is, it is recognized by a person, but it is very difficult to manage. Passion, be it joy or sorrow, is always one-sided: it concentrates all the mental resources of a person on one object and thereby deprives him of the possibility of choice.

The physical signs of a person immersed in state E are well recognizable. These are wide-open, burning eyes, rich facial expressions, quick and expressive gestures, randomly impulsive movements, a change in complexion (redness or blanching). The ability to enter state E is necessary for everyone who works on stage or even speaks to an audience. The emotional expressiveness of the actor or speaker is the main means of influencing the audience.

Functional State R - Ethics Of Relationships (Fi)

The intellectually communicative aspect of R manifests itself as a veiled, hidden assessment. Arguing in R-form, a person is as if afraid of himself to admit that he prefers one object to another. In this state, a choice is made between two completely equivalent variants from the point of view of logic. There is another R-thinking strategy - a conscious choice of the opposite of what we really would like. Thus, R-judgments are rational, that is, they have their own reason, even if it is hidden, but it is absolutely illogical.

At the social level, a person in state R is able to play the informal role of a harmonizer in a team. His actions are aimed at maintaining a warm and friendly psychological climate, smoothing sharp corners, and reconciling people. The person performing the R-role does not act as a judge or “resolver” of conflicting opposites, but as their conciliator. He can calm people, relieve emotional stress. Personal commitment in this case, of course, does not disappear, but is carefully hidden.

Psychologically, the state of R is experienced as an internal attraction to someone or something, as a deep attachment. Interestingly, this condition is not emotional. There is no expression in it, but there is a long-term dependence of a moral and ethical nature. State R is a guarantee of fidelity in a relationship. It is like a compass needle, which, in any attempt to turn its body, returns to its "native" northern direction. Thanks to R, we perceive people, places and times as ours, relatives or as strangers, alien.

Physically, the state of R is very difficult to identify precisely because in it the true attitude is hidden either by indifference or by the opposite. It can be detected by subtle discrepancies and minor glitches in normal communication. His voice trembled a little, his complexion changed slightly, his eyelids flinched and took their usual position — all these are reliable signals of relations. Indirectly manifested sympathies, antipathies, attraction to a person or pushing away from him, accompanied by a slight internal excitement, physically indicate that you are observing condition R.

Socionics: Logical Functions (Gulenko’s Descriptions)

Functional State P - Business Logic (Te)

The state of business logic in an intellectual sense is prudence, an assessment of benefits, and thinking over appropriate methods of action. Thinking according to the P-pattern proceeds in the form of verbal reasoning according to the “if-then” formula. Long chains of cause-effect are built. The grammar of such speech is rather poor, but P-speech is dynamic, differs in lexical diversity, and conveys the developing processes well.

At the social level, the long-held P state generates an informal role for the group's engine. The fact is that in state P a person cannot sit idle - he is constantly in some kind of beneficial activity. Next to a person in the P-state, it is impossible to rest. With his labor rhythm, he involuntarily includes in the work everyone who communicates with him at close range. For this reason, work collectives nominate such people as official leaders. The second side of the P-role in the team is the formal leader.

Psychologically, the communicative aspect of P gives rise to a state of motor excitement, a thirst for useful activity. In the P state, a person experiences a rise in working capacity, becomes energetic and purposeful. This condition is very energy-consuming, so the person who is in it is very nervous, often unrestrained. Any distraction from work is perceived by him as a useless loss of time, loss.

Physically, P is a fast movement with a uniformly tuned rhythm. Muscle contractions-relaxations are subordinated to one goal, are made in one direction, therefore in this state a person is rather inflexible and non-rotational. Having entered the P-state, a person completely surrenders to him, turns into a kind of productive mechanism. It is difficult to get out of it right away. Having gained inertia, the muscles continue to contract rhythmically, and the limbs move. The more intense the work, the longer it takes to recover.

Functional State L - Structural Logic (Ti)

On an intellectual level, the L aspect means constructing schemes, structures, classifications. This kind of logic does not pursue the goal of efficiency and profitability, but of the correctness and proportionality of proportions. Thinking in categories L, a person compares one object with another according to one or another criterion and places it in the corresponding cell of the classification table. L-thinking is short, extremely concise formulations and definitions. The law of structural and logical thinking is a minimum of vocabulary (significant words) and a maximum of grammar (service words - prepositions, conjunctions, particles, introductory turns).

A long-held state of L leads to an informal role in the team — a systematizer or an expert. It is expressed in making objective, disinterested judgments on any issues of life. A person in state L is prone to isolation within the group, to action according to the written and unwritten norms and rules existing in its framework. The second side of the L-role is the judge. Such a person is addressed, knowing his maximum lack of involvement, so that he soberly judges one or another controversial case.

Psychologically, a person in the L-state is characterized by composure and indifference. In this state, there are no feelings or subjective preferences. Figuratively, this state can be likened to a block of ice or the geometric regularity of a crystal of a mineral. This is the least psychological state, since there is absolutely no soul, human warmth in it. But, on the other hand, it is the most balanced and stable. This is a state of obedience, diligence and discipline.

At the physical level, a person in state L is characterized by an almost complete absence of manifestations of “life”. Mimicry with its stillness resembles a statue, the body is straight and fixed, eyes are dull and not expressing anything. Body movements are minimized. The rule “one organ - one function” is respected, that is, they only take a hand, walk with their feet, and eat with their mouths. The operations are performed discreetly, with a noticeable fixation of the beginning and end.

Socionics: Typing Conversation [Dichotomies]

1. Introversion vs. Extroversion

Introverts are influenced by the world. Extroverts influence the world itself.

Extroverts have a lot of focus on “I” and their actions in the world: “I went there, I said that and I did this.”

Introverts have a lot of focus on "THEY” and the world outside of them: “They called me and I went. I was told, and I agreed or did not agree. I was invited, and I came or refused.”

2. Sensation vs. Intuition

Concrete sensation-based thinkers and abstract intuitive idea-based thinkers.

Sensory speaks concisely in great detail about events, expanding on them or recollecting exact moments.

Intuitive speak generally in summaries about events, condensing them or turning them into ideas.

3. Logic vs. Ethic

Ethical animates the inanimate, bringing objects to life: “The movie spoke to me.”

Logical focuses on characteristics, describing qualities of objects: “The movie had good pacing and character development.”

4. Rationality vs. Irrationality

Irrational types find difficulty maintaining consistent attention to their expressed points, thoughts, and ideas. Rational types will necessarily put points and be sure to finish their thoughts, even if a conversation starts to lead away from the initial topic. Irrationals have a much easier time going from one topic or idea to another without the need to finish or revisit previously made points or thoughts.

Socionics: Romance Styles

Alpha

Childlike Types: ILE (ENTp) / LII (INTj)

These types seem to exist outside their own sexuality. Sex is to be metabolized psychologically for them in an almost roundabout way - as an emotional entity, or possibly even an intellectual exercise. In a partner, they are looking for someone who will deal with (and protect) their quirks and understand their sexuality on the same intellectual/emotional level.

Caregivers: ESE (ESFj) / SEI (ISFp)

These are those types who openly express their need to “protect” and care for their romantic interest. In conversation may often lend a sympathetic ear (which, depending on the person, may be interpreted as insincerity, but it’s exactly what the Child-like type is looking for). They are looking for someone who will not only accept their paternal/maternal tendencies, but welcome and thrive on it.

Beta

Conquerors: SLE (ESTp) / LSI (ISTj)

These are assertive types who do not flinch at their own sexuality. They will express their own desire without reservation. They are won over by direct shows of submission (only after feeling that they have earned it). He will be insulted if his romantic interest gives him his title without question, and bored if the fight is too easily won. He, like the Pseudo-Aggressor and the Challenger, is questing to find his equal. Someone he can play his almost sadistic games with without “breaking.”

Challengers/Trophies: EIE (ENFj) / IEI (INFp)

These are the types who unconsciously throw a “gauntlet” down for their opponents. They know on an almost subliminal level exactly who they are looking for, and anyone who does not fit the bill will be subjected to a rather flakey, hot-cold game of courting tag. As a result, they may appear (both to others and to themselves) rather amorphous and can take on qualities of the other romantic attitudes, depending on the situation and who they are “challenging.”

They may, for example, give the victim half his aggressor, the psuedo-aggressor a little victim, the caregiver a bit of his child, etc. They react best, however, to those who do not “break” as a result of their games, but grant them a level of autonomy. Healthy examples of this type will have a sense of self-esteem, and may think of themselves as the “prize” that will be given only to the rightful owner.

Gamma

Psuedo-Aggressors/Employees: LIE (ENTj) / ILI (INTp)

These are types who exhibit aggressive tendencies in their everyday life, and as a result tend to carry over these notions and temperaments into their romantic life. They typically are not comfortable with connotations of the word “victim” - implying a certain weakness, effeteness, and lack of dignity. In searching for a partner, they are looking for a worthy opponent - someone who is strong enough to withstand their quirks without “breaking” so to speak.

Aggressors/Employers: SEE (ESFp) / ESI (ISFj)

These types, like the conquerors, express their sexuality openly. In daily life they may tend to be rather submissive and as a result may tend to carry over these tendencies into their romantic life. They are won over by indirect acts of submission, and are thrilled when their love interest (in the case of the “psuedo-aggressor” type) acts unlike himself. In a partner, they are looking for their equal - someone whose solid facade they can break down piece by piece.

Delta

Pseudo-Caregivers/Students: IEE (ENFp) / EII (INFj)

These are types who exhibit paternal/maternal tendencies towards others in their everyday lives and may thus carry over these notions and temperaments into their romantic life. These types habitually attempt to give their partner what he/she “needs” (or what they believe they need). As a result, they may become drained by lack of attendance to their own needs and desires. In a partner, they are searching for a combination of strength and gentleness.

Teachers: LSE (ESTj) / SLI (ISTp)

If I were to describe this type’s approach to love, it would be “serious.” He approaches his love interest almost with the intention to “teach.” This can quite possibly rub the object of his affection in the wrong way, possibly interpreted as condescension. Like the childlike type, he may tend to live “outside sexuality” and may have to intellectualize it in order to be comfortable. He is looking for a worthy pupil.
