    Default Names for the 4 support function pairs

    Are there? If not, this would be quite useful. I don't have enough insight into socionics to even postulate some of my own.

    Here's one reason why the support pairs need names: the fundamental dichotomy in society according to socionics is the split between alpha and beta on the one hand and gamma and delta on the other. That is: Ti-Fe vs. Fi-Te. That means the fundamental tension that exists in society should be found in the friction between those two support function pairs.

    So: understanding & emotion vs. intimacy and knowledge, or... Gamma-Delta institutional and Alpha-Beta counter-institutional... Something like that?
