Roles of Intertype Relations

Original article: http://socionics.kiev.ua/articles/fe...oup/ascension/ (only sections 1-4 of this article have been translated)

Psychological "division of labor" is a mark of a mature and rationally structured society. Ancient societies received powerful stimulus with invention of division of physical labor. We stand on the threshold of a new step forward when professional specialization will be supplemented by psychological one.

The construction of such classification provides us with the answer to an important question: why does each intertype relation exist? Which relations are optimal for achieving these or that goals? Which communicative issues naturally arise for each type of relation? Using intertype relations for purposes that are different from their intended ones often leads to stress and frustration.

Within each orientation, I will distinguish two sub-groups that are specialized for solving light tasks and serious or heavy tasks. Their separation is directly related to the Dynamic/Static dichotomy. Light relations (variety and expediency of communication) correspond to dynamic aspect, heavy relations (uniformity and thoroughness) – to static aspect.
