visualizing the set of types

[tejing]

I made these charts some years ago to help myself spatially keep track of the group structure inherent in socionics

                            Types 
 
                  Analyst           Inspector 
       Alpha      TiNe FiSe         TiSe FiNe    Beta 
                  FeSi TeNi         FeNi TeSi 
                  Enthusiast        Actor 
    Seeker                   Merry                Conqueror 
    NeTi SeFi                                     SeTi NeFi 
    SiFe NiTe                                     NiFe SiTe 
    Mediator                                      Romantic

    Psychologist                                  Politician 
    NeFi SeTi                                     SeFi NeTi 
    SiTe NiFe                                     NiTe SiFe 
    Craftsman              Serious                Critic 
                 Humanist           Guardian 
                 FiNe TiSe          FiSe TiNe 
       Delta     TeSi FeNi          TeNi FeSi    Gamma 
                 Director           Enterpriser 
 
 
                        Relationships 
 
                  Identical         Kindred 
                  L C  R V          L V  R C 
                  S M  I D          S D  I M 
                  Dual              Semi-Dual 
    Mirror                                        Supervisor 
    C L  V R                                      V L  C R 
    M S  D I                                      D S  M I 
    Activator                                     Benefactor 
 
    Supervisee                                    Conflictor 
    C R  V L                                      V R  C L 
    M I  D S                                      D I  M S 
    Beneficiary                                   Quasi-Identical 
                 Business           Super-Ego 
                 R C  L V           R V  L C 
                 I M  S D           I D  S M 
                 Mirage             Extinguishment 
 
Functions are listed in the following order: 
Leading     Creative         Role      Vulnerable 
Suggestive  Motivating       Ignoring  Demonstrative 
(thus the dual can be seen simply by reversing the lines)

Obviously I made the relationships chart line up with my own type, but it can be easily lined up with another type as well, just make sure the kindred and mirror go in the right directions.

I find the spatial layout extremely helpful as a memory aid as well as an aid to understanding the approximate psychological distance inherent in relationships.
