Inert-Contact / Vertical / Club Subtypes

[EyeSeeCold]

Carl Jung wrote that in a logical type, ethical functions become suppressed. From these comments of C. Jung on the interactions of mental and vital functions of the rings (or conscious and unconscious according to Jung), it is clear that upon excitation of ethical function, the suppression will be experienced by logical function, and upon excitation of sensory function, intuitive function will be suppressed, and vice versa.

This occurs not only on the mental, but also on the vital level of model of EIM. If intuition (N) is amplified, for example, it will be amplified in both orientations, extraverted and introverted. Thus, excitation of intuition of possibilities (Ne) will also enhance intuition of time (Ni), while both extraverted and introverted sensing will become suppressed. If ethics of relations (Fi) is amplified, then ethics of emotion (Fe) will be amplified as well, while both business and structural logic (Te and Ti) will become suppressed. Carl Jung has also noted that thinking can be easily connected with intuition, but never with the feeling. Intuition, however, is not opposed to thinking functions. Thus in our example of type IEE, the excitation of intuitive functions and subsequent inhibition of ethical functions will respectively disinhibit both functions of structural and business logic.

"Experience shows that the secondary function is always one whose nature is different from, though not antagonistic to, the primary function. Thus thinking as the primary function can readily pair with intuition as the auxiliary, or indeed equally well with sensation but never with feeling....The auxiliary function is usefully only in so far as it serves the dominant function ....the unconscious functions likewise group themselves in patterns correlated with the conscious ones. Thus, the correlative of conscious, practical thinking may be an unconscious intuitive-feeling attitude, with feeling under a stronger inhibition than intuition."

Given the type ILE NeTi as an example, if it is split between Leading and Creating, NeNiFeFi (NF club, Internal ) is on one side and SeSiTeTi(ST club, External) is on the other.

Following Jung's fundamental principle of psychological function opposition, differentiation between Leading and Creating function subtypes effectively equates to Club subtypings, which is also poled on the Inert-Contact function dichotomy. Below is the full layout of Inert and Contact subtypes.

Inert Subtypes: Accumulating	Contact Subtypes: Spending
Alpha Quadra α Ne-ENTp-NF (Internal) Si-ISFp-ST (External) Fe-ESFj-NF (Internal) Ti-INTj-ST (External)	Alpha Quadra α Ti-ENTp-ST (External) Fe-ISFp-NF (Internal) Si-ESFj-ST (External) Ne-INTj-NF (Internal)
Beta Quadra β Se-ESTp-SF (Involved) Ni-INFp-NT (Abstract) Fe-ENFj-SF (Involved) Ti-ISTj-NT (Abstract)	Beta Quadra β Ti-ESTp-NT (Abstract) Fe-INFp-SF (Involved) Ni-ENFj-NT (Abstract) Se-ISTj-SF (Involved)
Gamma Quadra γ Se-ESFp-ST (External) Ni-INTp-NF (Internal) Te-ENTj-ST (External) Fi-ISFj-NF (Internal)	Gamma Quadra γ Fi-ESFp-NF (Internal) Te-INTp-ST (External) Ni-ENTj-NF (Internal) Se-ISFj-ST (External)
Delta Quadra δ Ne-ENFp-NT (Abstract) Si-ISTp-SF (Involved) Te-ESTj-NT (Abstract) Fi-INFj-SF (Involved)	Delta Quadra δ Fi-ENFp-SF (Involved) Te-ISTp-NT (Abstract) Si-ESTj-SF (Involved) Ne-INFj-NT (Abstract)

The functional divide found between Inert-Contact(1,4,6,7-2,3,5,8) equates to the dichotomous quaternions (small groups) of:
Irrational + Positivist + Asking = ENTp - INFp - ESFp - ISTp
Irrational + Negativist + Declaring = ISFp - ESTp - INTp - ENFp
Rational + Positivist + Declaring = ESFj - ISTj - ENTj - INFj
Rational + Negativist + Asking = INTj - ENFj - ISFj - ESTj

So if Inert/Contact is valid as a subtype system, type simulation is expressed through these groupings.
