Starting another marathon project on the types, functions & states.
This is a thread for working, contributions welcome.
Is there something in particular that you would like me to add/correct to the descriptions?
The material is not meant to be read at once. It seeks to be reference material, a sort of encyclopedia of important information on the types.

Accepting Si (acc-si) = ISTp/ISFp
Perceiving function:
It relates to a natural state of things, observation of events such as they are. It doesn't involve agreements, ethics or sociality, it doesn't involve purpose. It's just things as they are.
It requires judging functions to supply it with purpose and humanity and it supports judging functions by turning their hopes, beliefs and decisions into reality. By its actions changes the focus of a situation from the 'aristocratic' to the 'democratic' ie. enables one to concentrate on the situation that is instead of a principle, communal agreement or prevailing idea.
Sensory function:
It involves concrete details, concrete actions as opposed to abstractions. It can solve a certain number of problems effectively but it requires the support of intuition to point out where to direct its efforts. Sensory function can solve a problem but it's not useful in identifying the problem as a problem. By its actions a sensory function changes a 'thinking' situation into 'feeling'. This means that the obvious known and concrete characteristics of a situation have been redefined by concrete sensory action and that the new situation requires acceptance, relaxation and understanding. Using sensory functions also increases the possibilities of interaction in a situation as the acting person's actions are easy to identify. This creates new communal interests.
Introvert function:
It is a systematic function, interested in cause and effect, understanding the rules of the things to which it is used. It is interested more in the questions of how and why rather than who and what. It is information about fields, graphs, maps rather than particular objects. By the actions of this function a questioning, erratic, case by case 'taciturn' action turns into an ordered, uninterrupted flow of 'narrative' information. Introvert functions require the support of extravert ones to yield them raw material for the perfection of their inner models, a base to which the model can be grounded and which it can serve.
Acc-si: In relation to sensory information this system of knowledge is often called technical skill or body control but in fact it handles all information that can be thought of as immediate and concrete by the person using the function.
Accepting function:
This what one does without thinking. This is the function through which one focuses actions towards a single goal. This is not the same as being a focussed function by itself. This function turns the various interests of the 'result' group into the 'process' group and the 'process' group is the one that is focussed. The importance of this function is rather that it accepts a multitude of base resources, ideas and tasks. It is mobile and can be used in many situations which contrasts the creative functions that can only be used for very particular tasks. This does NOT mean that one is automatically weaker than the other as succesfull use of creative functions tends to create groundbreaking breakthroughs which are very important despite their relative rarity. The accepting functions are balanced rather than supported by the creating functions.
Limiting function:
It is a function that reduces your field of interest, it pushes you away from frivolous, dangerous, off-limits interests towards the things that you need to focus in. It changes the 'positivism' cathegory into 'negativism'. It is not a subdued function despite this. Rather, it signifies seeking your limits and finally finding them, testing what you wish is true. When it finds its own limits it helps others cross theirs and thus supports the 'empowering' functions.
Acc-Si: Sheer personal effort when applied everywhere according to a particular system does not work in everything. One person's skill is never enough. The more effort you put in your work the more you notice the things that are beyond your control.
Strategic function:
It focuses on the bottom line, the thing you want. By it's action it separates the worthy from the unworthy, talented from untalented, the succesful from the unsuccesful. Without a goal, it's useless. It's point is to establish direction. By it's action it turns the 'construct-creating' into the 'emotion-creating'. By this action it turns the focus from the old, the known, into the new, the surprising and starts a new cycle. This is the function that casts off the creations that anchor you and sends you to the unknown. 'Strategic' functions require the support of 'Tactical' functions. A goal will not be reached unless someone does the actual work to get there.
Acc-Si: The goal, the quality appraised, the value sought for is typically something of worth to a personal system of concrete living. This is typically called comfort, but it can apply to many other things.
Carefree function:
It is inclined to immediate decisions through immediately available information. Personal risk is seen as small in relation to the profit gained by action. It feels a lack of useful resources and thus that it has little to lose. By its action it changes the 'obstinate' dichotomy into the 'compliant' dichotomy. This function regards the existing motivations and purposes either as already perfected, boring or irrelevant and turns a person's focus towards the resources needed to keep up the system. It is inclined to feel it has seen everything and wants more. A carefree function is balanced by 'calculating' functions.
Acc-si also changes the person's style of communication from 'cold' to 'sincere'.
Judicious function:
It is intensely personal, even narcisstic. It's interest lies only in its own chosen environment which it guards from disturbances. By its action it turns the 'objective and grave' into the 'subjective and merry'. It establishes a special environment that is free from a number of usual limitations and is able to support specialized abilities, technologies and ideas that would not work in general use. It changes the quadra spirit of the environment and changes the focus from bonds of mutual loyalty to general playfulness.
Dynamic function:
It relates to a system of thought in which the environment is in flow and people act according to its rules in whatever way they are able to.
Irrational function:
It relates to a system of thought in which people establish general rules only when they are found necessary.
Cold function:
It relates to a system of thought in which goals are personal.
Type-spotting:
Lytov: This kind of sensing is rather passive, it focuses on getting as more pleasant feelings as possible, on reduction of quantity of unnecessary motions, on the quality and functionality of work. People with this function as dominant do not like to argue (if they began – it means that something VERY serious happened). They are often efficient at work that requires attention to small details, monotonous chores etc. They like intellectuals, like new ideas, because these ideas make their life more diverse, but also ridicule intellectuals for their “impractical approach”.
Abstract form:
Gulenko: Peace is achieved through the senses. Anything that goes against the natural flow of events is sharply received. He rejects any activity that goes against social norms, does not abide primal instincts. He is squeamish. He is thoughtful and shows respect to relatives and loved ones. If he sees a weak man it is in his nature to come to his aid. He is sensitive and will never take joy in the pain of others. The possibilities of sensations are well understood. He is often and enthusiast of the out doors and enjoys earthy activities, camping, fishing and primitive listing being some of the many things he enjoys. He does not force his moods on to others, if he is bored it is not spoken, if he is restless he will not say. He is easily wounded but will not say when his spirit has been broken. In order to survive he knows how to abide by rules and follow social stereotypes.
Concrete form:
Gulenko: Sensorika of the sensations Men of customary pleasures and simple everyday happiness. Greatly it is considered habits and conveniences in those surrounding. Does not disrupt strange rest. It always worries about the health and a good health its and its close ones. It surrounds itself by pleasant trifles. It dresses simply and with the taste. It rejects extremes in the exterior view. He tries to be held in the shadow, it is not separated neither to the side of the good nor to the side the laggards. It will get along with all, since it knows how to engage the position of the golden mean. The peace of things is studied. It loves to take object in the hands, to touch it, to perceive its physical qualities. It for a long time memorizes sensations. It easily manipulates by objects, seeking out that which to it is usual.
Relation to other functions:
Mirror: Ganin: "What one partner considers solid and final appears incomplete and changeable for the other partner." Acc-Si is strategic and carefree, it cares only about what it wants and it goes after it immediately. Cre-Si is tactical and calculating, it sees itself as doing an important job requiring care and attention and does not want disturbances. Acc-Si will happily trample over the systems of Cre-Si unless Cre-Si establishes control over it, which it will quite possibly do.
Dual: Acc-Si supports Acc-Ne by establishing mutual goals and turning Acc-Ne abstract ideas into concrete reality.
Activity: Cre-Ne and Acc-Si share the strategic drive for goals, but one has abstract and one has concrete goals. They can share the idea of this intensely personal quest and even offer some help to each other. The goals that Acc-Si pursues are concrete but not necessarily well defined. The goals Cre-Ne pursues are abstract but in a sense, more strict and binding. Abstract version of this activity partnership is generally more satisfying than the concrete one.
Super-ego:
Acc-Si and Acc-Ni share a point of view but fight for power. Each feels the other's methods are misplaced. The results of their actions are in many ways directly opposite and thus the actions of the other seem to only make worse what the other perceives to be the problem.
Conflict:
Acc-Si and Cre-Ni share the air of the self-confident goal-driven person, but beyond this they have little in common. They will constantly find themselves in cross purposes with the Acc-Si person often being in a slightly advantageous and more commanding position.
Contrary
Acc-Si and Acc-Se are united in their drive for reaching a concrete goal but where the Acc-Si will directly go for what he wants, the Acc-Se is carefully analyzing the goals of various people to find the optimal personal goal. Acc-Se finds Acc-Si inconveniently forceful and causing Acc-Se additional difficulties. From the outside it is often difficult to differentiate these two. Quadra spirit will generally be the easiest way.
Quasi-identical
Acc-Si and Cre-Se, relation of mutual misunderstanding and often disrespect. Unwillingness to engage in dialog. They are united in their 'carefree' concrete action but where Acc-Si is out to reach a goal himself, Cre-Se is attempting to do his best and be rewarded. Both believe the other is taking the easy way.
Other issues:
Acc-Si is characterized by the 'caretaking' style of sexuality.

Accepting Ne (acc-ne) = ENFp/ENTp
Perceiving function:
It relates to a natural state of things, observation of events such as they are. It doesn't involve agreements, ethics or sociality, it doesn't involve purpose. It's just things as they are.
It requires judging functions to supply it with purpose and humanity and it supports judging functions by turning their hopes, beliefs and decisions into reality. By its actions changes the focus of a situation from the 'aristocratic' to the 'democratic' ie. enables one to concentrate on the situation that is instead of a principle, communal agreement or prevailing idea.
Intuitive function:
It involves abstraction, generalities, guesswork, approximation, sketching rather than concrete details. It looks for general, rather than specific usability, universally useful tools rather than tools for specific effect. It creates ideas and finds paths but is unwilling to do the legwork to walk the walk. By its actions an intuitive function changes a 'feeling' situation into a 'thinking' one. This means that the idea of what details of a situation matter and should be concentrated on, is born. Using intuitive functions generates enables one to find the relevant among the details, it creates focus and lessens the need to interact with the environment. Intuitive functions are supported by sensory ones and vice versa since the intuitive function guides the sensory function in its actions and the sensory function allows the actualization of the intuitive ideas.
Extrovert function:
It involves individual objects rather than systems and rules. It is interested more in the questions of who and what than in the questions of how and why. Its fixation on particular objects allows it to examine them thoroughly, from many point of view and to find new characteristics in them. By the actions of this function an ordered flow of 'narrative' information turns into a disassembled, erratic, questioning 'taciturn' discussion, or playing with concepts. Extrovert functions are supported by the introvert ones by letting them avoid repeating mistakes and guiding their actions.
Acc-Ne: In relation to intuition, this interest in objects is the interest and fascination with the strange, the unexpected, the unclear. This fascination with hidden things can mean a wish to find things of value that are your very own and nobody else's or it may become a showy personal ability to see things in ways that others don't.
Accepting function:
This what one does without thinking. This is the function through which one focuses actions towards a single goal. This is not the same as being a focussed function by itself. This function turns the various interests of the 'result' group into the 'process' group and the 'process' group is the one that is focussed.

This does NOT mean that one is automatically weaker than the other as succesfull use of creative functions tends to create groundbreaking breakthroughs which are very important despite their relative rarity. The accepting functions are balanced rather than supported by the creating functions.
Empowering function:
It is a function that widens your area of interest, it's use creates great confidence in a person's ability. It changes the 'negativism' dichotomy' into 'positivism'. It signifies the crossing of personal limits, embarking on a personal adventure, looking for and finding self-confidence. It supports the limiting functions by taking responsibility away from them, making limits elsewhere easier to accept.
Tactical function:
It focuses on what it's doing. Methods are chosen according to personal interest, skill and relevance to task. The outcome is whatever is possible under circumstances and should be accepted as such. Can possess an unattached, mercenary or professional worker attitude. Importance given on talent and skill. By its action it turns the 'emotion-creating' into the 'construct-creating'. By this action it finds a personal sense of accomplishment, reaches a sense of finding it's place in the world which starts the conservative instinct.
Carefree function:
It is inclined to immediate decisions through immediately available information. Personal risk is seen as small in relation to the profit gained by action. It feels a lack of useful resources and thus that it has little to lose. By its action it changes the 'obstinate' dichotomy into the 'compliant' dichotomy.

It is inclined to feel it has seen everything and wants more. A carefree function is balanced by 'calculating' functions.
Acc-ne also changes the person's style of communication from 'passionate' to 'business-like'.
Judicious function:
It is intensely personal, even narcisstic. It's interest lies only in its own chosen environment which it guards from disturbances. By its action it turns the 'objective and grave' into the 'subjective and merry'. It establishes a special environment that is free from a number of usual limitations and is able to support specialized abilities, technologies and ideas that would not work in general use. It changes the quadra spirit of the environment and changes the focus from bonds of mutual loyalty to general playfulness.
Static funtion:
It relates to a system of though in which the environment does not change by itself but it is the people who interact with it that set the rules of what happens.
Irrational function:
It relates to a system of thought in which people establish general rules only when they are found necessary.
Hot function:
It relates to a system of thought in which there are important goals that are common to all people.
Type-spotting:
Lytov: Bearers of this function are usually curious, full of ideas; they gladly look for new ideas in books, or make new interesting acquaintances. Usually they are not aggressive, and even being talented, often have troubles with getting a “reward”, recognition of their ingenuity. They usually see a lot of positive possibilities in other people. However, when their ideas are offended, they can be very persistent. A negative trait: when they promise, it usually does not mean “I will certainly do”, often it means “I wish it would happen when somebody helps”.
Abstract form:
Gulenko: the intuition of the possibilities It possesses excellent intuition to the people. On the separate phrases, the intonation, the mimicry, the special features of behavior it sees the internal motivation of man. Easily it surmises, what that attains. Rapidly it is trained, since it knows how to grip the essence of problem. In it the fantasy is well developed: it devises histories, are constructed means, entertaining subjects. It is pulled to the talented and uncommon personalities. It knows how to encourage and to inspire people, making with them compliments, describing iridescent prospects. It proposes the different versions of the solution of one and the same problem. To it be occupied to intolerably by monotonous work. Its generating boredom repetition strongly suppresses.
Concrete form:
Gulenko: the intuition of the possibilities The prospect of new ideas and projects sees well. It is interested by all in the hope of in a row finding anything unique. Rapidly it rejects those ideas, which proved to be hopeless, and it is thrown to something new. It has diverse interests. Frequently its enthusiasm are in no way connected with the basic work. It is attempted to gather all discoveries and innovations on it the problem interesting. It generates daring, alternative ideas on any question, with which for it it only is necessary to contend, it does not transfer rutins also of the fetters of traditions. If the matter, by which it is forced to be occupied, it does not carry along, will give to it completely new revolution. It can propose the large number of applications to invention or to discovery. It is persistent and expansive in the propagation of its own developments. In order to catch fire by idea, it must make its "its".
Relation to other functions:
Mirror: Ganin: "What one partner considers solid and final appears incomplete and changeable for the other partner." Acc-Ne is tactical and carefree, it cares only about what it wants to be doing and starts doing it immediately. Cre-Ne is strategic and calculating, feels that Acc-Ne is hasty and flighty and is misusing its great talents. It feels that Acc-Ne will confuse issues unless Cre-Ne establishes control over it which it will quite possibly do. Acc-Ne will appreciate it's mirrors accomplishments, experience and opinions but feels its slowness dragging it down.
Dual: Acc-Ne supports Acc-Si by providing worthy ideas and pointing out objects of interest that are worthy of being sought for.
Activity: Acc-Ne and Cre-Si share the appreciation of personal tactical skills but one has concrete skills while the other has abstract talent. One utilizes great care in its efforts while the other will quickly proceed with whatever is at hand. These two are the greatest gurus and primadonnas of the work place and as such they can earn the respect of each other in ways no other type does. Concrete version of this activity partnership is generally more satisfying than the concrete one.
Superego:
Acc-Ne and Acc-Se share a point of view but fight for power. Each feels the other's methods are misplaced. The results of their actions are in many ways directly opposite and thus the actions of the other seem to only make worse what the other perceives to be the problem.
Conflict:
Acc-Ne and Cre-Se share the air of confident action-orientedness but beyond this they have little in common. They will constantly find themselves in cross purposes with the Acc-Ne person often being in a slightly advantageous and more commanding position.
Contrary:
Acc-Ne and Acc-Ni are united in their drive to master the art of abstract thinking but where Acc-Ne will directly quickly suppose that his actions are correct though he might later return to redo his activities and again suppose the same thing, Acc-Ni will collect information doubting itself until it has the whole picture and constantly doubt itself. Acc-Ne will not appreciate Acc-Ni doubting it and feels this as insulting. From the outside it is often difficult to differentiate these two. Quadra spirit will generally be the easiest way.
Quasi-identical
Acc-Ne and Cre-Ni, relation of mutual misunderstanding and often disrespect. Unwillingness to engage in dialog. They are united in their 'carefree' abstract action but where Acc-Ne is out to show-off his talents Cre-Ni is out to solve an important-seeming problem. Both believe the other is getting undue credit, Cre-Ni presenting dull and uninteresting solutions and Acc-Ne producing only frivolities.
Other issues:
Acc-Ne is characterized by the 'childish' style of sexuality.

It signifies the crossing of personal limits, embarking on a personal adventure, looking for and finding self-confidence. It supports the limiting functions by taking responsibility away from them, making limits elsewhere easier to accept.
Strategic function:
It focuses on the bottom line, the thing you want. By it's action it separates the worthy from the unworthy, talented from untalented, the succesful from the unsuccesful. Without a goal, it's useless. It's point is to establish direction. By it's action it turns the 'construct-creating' into the 'emotion-creating'. By this action it turns the focus from the old, the known, into the new, the surprising and starts a new cycle. This is the function that casts off the creations that anchor you and sends you to the unknown. 'Strategic' functions require the support of 'Tactical' functions. A goal will not be reached unless someone does the actual work to get there.
Calculating function:
It is inclined to search for additional information, prepare in advance and not be swayed from its planned path by changes in the environment, for the plan must already be prepared for this contingency. By its action it changes the 'compliant' dichotomy to the 'obstinate' dichotomy. The use of this function creates a feeling of being prepared for anything, being able to take on great tasks and possessing a surplus of resources. A calculating function is balanced by 'carefree' functions.
Acc-Se also changes the person's communication from 'business-like' to passionate.
Resolute function:
It is able to adapt and to make-do with whatever the environment offers. Finds success by taking and using everything and anything that's available. Willing to sacrifice but wants a high pay-off for it. Inclined to communal action and conformism. Focus on the needs of the situation rather than personal needs. By its actions turns the 'subjective and merry' into the 'objective and grave'. By its actions it decides the rules of the rat race and creates the normal society.
Static funtion:
It relates to a system of though in which the environment does not change by itself but it is the people who interact with it that set the rules of what happens.
Irrational function:
It relates to a system of thought in which people establish general rules only when they are found necessary.
Hot function:
It relates to a system of thought in which there are important goals that are common to all people.
Type-spotting:
Lytov: This sensing function directs to occupation of space. People with this strong function are usually demanding people, which like when other people fulfill their wishes and demands. Sometimes they become managers, and sometimes – good sellers that can sell even unnecessary things. They often (but not always) have athletic, somewhat roundish figure, quick and demanding eyes. They are very persistent in the life: "If I want, then it should be achieved”, and they often gladly help other people – those who accept their leadership. Their outbursts of anger may fear some people, but in fact they are short-term – in several minutes they become calm again and restore their good mood.
Abstract:
Gulenko: program function: power sensorika Decisive person, capable of showing power pressure, if that situation requires. It is disposed to the victory by any price. The more the obstacles meets on the way, the more brave becomes and the more actively it begins. It is confident in its rightness, doubts and fluctuations are alien to it. It is categorical in the estimations. Last word leaves after itself. Vystavlyaet the ultimatum: once you me selected, then now be subordinated. It knows how to find the weakest place in enemy. If the straight attack of success does not bring, begins circuit from the side or from the rear. Frequently it acts through the third persons.
Concrete:
Gulenko: power sensorika It feels well the arrangement of forces. Rapidly it recovers, who is strong, and who is weak, on whom it is possible to press, but it is better not to touch whom. It gropes the weak places of people, with which it is close by sign. Influencing on the painful points, changes their behavior to the side advantageous for itself. Itself is not subordinated to attempts at the straight pressure. Deftly it uvorachivayetsya. It knows how for itself to postoyat'. It reacts violently, when they limit it in the selection. He commands those, who are less decisive and is less confident in itself. With the stronger partner it associates on the equal. Will always find method, as to focus on itself attention.
Relation to other functions:
Mirror: Ganin: "What one partner considers solid and final appears incomplete and changeable for the other partner." Acc-Se is strategic and calculating. It takes great care to have the correct goal in each situation ie. seek only what is available. Cre-Se is tactical and carefree. It seeks to melt into the situation unseen and take whatever becomes available through appropriate action. Cre-Se feels that Acc-Se is reaching for too much and going about it in a clumsy way. Acc-Se feels that Cre-Se is complacent and possibly stupid for not taking what's available in front of him. Yet Acc-Se tends to acquiesce and work around Cre-Se rather than confront it. They interact easily enough and respect each other's easily seen abilities.
Dual: Acc-Se supports Acc-Ni by taking up challenges and targets that Acc-Ni suggests are worthwhile.
Activity: Acc-Se and Cre-Ni share the appreciation of strategic direct approach and ability to see the most crucial and valuable things in the environment but one seeks to understand and nurture it while the other seeks to capture and guard it. These two are the most likely leaders of a major group, with Acc-Se being better able to capture leadership and Cre-Ni better able to use it when he manages to get it. The activity partnership is more satisfactory in its concrete than its abstract version.
Superego:
Acc-Se and Acc-Ne share a point of view but fight for power. Each feels the other's methods are misplaced. The results of their actions are in many ways directly opposite and thus the actions of the other seem to only make worse what the other perceives to be the problem.
Conflict:
Acc-Se and Cre-Ne share the air of calculating choice of strategic goals but beyond this they have little in common. One is actually looking for something generally perfect that would in some strange way suit all its purposes while one is looking for something that is available and easy to get. They will constantly find themselves in cross purposes with the Acc-Se person often being in a slightly advantageous and more commanding position.
Contrary:
Acc-Se and Acc-Si are united in their drive to reach concrete goals by the most direct of means but where Acc-Se goals are common and carefully chosen, Acc-Si will try to reach outlandish and eccentric goals whenever they happen to suit its tastes. Acc-Se will not appreciate Acc-Si embarking on what it considers fool's errands and will often be disappointed by the results of cooperation. From the outside it is often difficult to differentiate these two. Quadra spirit will generally be the easiest way.
Quasi-identical
Acc-Se and Cre-Si, relation of mutual misunderstanding and often disrespect. Unwillingness to engage in dialog. They are united in their 'calculating' concrete action but where Cre-Si is a show-off, Acc-Se is trying to get the prize. Both believe the other is not as talented as they are and is getting undue praise.
Other issues:
Acc-Se is characterized by the 'aggressive' style of sexuality.

It requires judging functions to supply it with purpose and humanity and it supports judging functions by turning their hopes, beliefs and decisions into reality.

Introvert function:
It is a systematic function, interested in cause and effect, understanding the rules of the things to which it is used. It is interested more in the questions of how and why rather than who and what. It is information about fields, graphs, maps rather than particular objects. By the actions of this function a questioning, erratic, case by case 'taciturn' action turns into an ordered, uninterrupted flow of 'narrative' information. Introvert functions require the support of extravert ones to yield them raw material for the perfection of their inner models, a base to which the model can be grounded and which it can serve.
Limiting function:
It is a function that reduces your field of interest, it pushes you away from frivolous, dangerous, off-limits interests towards the things that you need to focus in. It changes the 'positivism' cathegory into 'negativism'. It is not a subdued function despite this. Rather, it signifies seeking your limits and finally finding them, testing what you wish is true. When it finds its own limits it helps others cross theirs and thus supports the 'empowering' functions.
Tactical function:
It focuses on what it's doing. Methods are chosen according to personal interest, skill and relevance to task. The outcome is whatever is possible under circumstances and should be accepted as such. Can possess an unattached, mercenary or professional worker attitude. Importance given on talent and skill. By its action it turns the 'emotion-creating' into the 'construct-creating'. By this action it finds a personal sense of accomplishment, reaches a sense of finding it's place in the world which starts the conservative instinct.
Calculating function:
It is inclined to search for additional information, prepare in advance and not be swayed from its planned path by changes in the environment, for the plan must already be prepared for this contingency. By its action it changes the 'compliant' dichotomy to the 'obstinate' dichotomy. The use of this function creates a feeling of being prepared for anything, being able to take on great tasks and possessing a surplus of resources. A calculating function is balanced by 'carefree' functions.
Acc-Ni also changes the person's communication from 'sincere' to cold.
Resolute function:
It is able to adapt and to make-do with whatever the environment offers. Finds success by taking and using everything and anything that's available. Willing to sacrifice but wants a high pay-off for it. Inclined to communal action and conformism. Focus on the needs of the situation rather than personal needs. By its actions turns the 'subjective and merry' into the 'objective and grave'. By its actions it decides the rules of the rat race and creates the normal society.
Dynamic function:
It relates to a system of thought in which the environment is in flow and people act according to its rules in whatever way they are able to.
Irrational function:
It relates to a system of thought in which people establish general rules only when they are found necessary.
Cold function:
It relates to a system of thought in which goals are personal.
Type-spotting:
Lytov: This function, instead of lots of possibilities, considers people and the world as if flowing in a big and insuperable stream of time. What does people's potential mean when it cannot be realized? Fate rules the world. Their usual condition is something like meditation. However, in spite of such “Buddhist” vital philosophy, they are very smart in adaptation to different crises that happen in life, and stoically tolerate even somebody else's petty tyranny. They are intellectuals, but they do not often want to demonstrate their ideas, preferring that other people would pay attention to them, and for this reason often seem to be “passive”. In fact, they do not think they are “passive” – the “wait for the good moment”.

The pictures, which to it sketches the imagination, bright and bright, are much more attractive than everyday life. It believes in good future. It calms down people, moving in them hope by phrases about the fast changes to the best. Does not concentrate its attention in the errors of the past.
Concrete:
Gulenko: the intuition of the time Keenly observes after the flow of life. It thinly notices details and hardly the planned tendencies. It explains, what reasons led to the existing consequences. It is submerged in the past, the repetitive phenomena are studied. Because of the associatively organized memory and the love for the knowledge he is frequently scholar. Contradictions and actual errors in positions and opinions are revealed well. Possessing a philosophical turn of mind, it knows how to produce the impression of wise and man of vision. It is careful in decision making. It proceeds from the fact that it is necessary to slightly anticipate events. The safe version of actions is always selected.
Relation to other functions:
Mirror: Ganin: "What one partner considers solid and final appears incomplete and changeable for the other partner." Acc-Ni is tactical and calculating. It takes great pride in being able to always point out something smart and possessing a large base of knowledge on which to base its suggestions. It's opinions and positions on things are carefully crafted. It hates to be wrong about anything. Cre-Ni is carefree and strategic is inclined to believe it has natural ability to look at any given situation and find the best position to take. It will change it's opinion when and only when new information becomes available. Cre-Ni will generally have greater ease in explaining his ideas and this often causes situations in which he appears in a superior position to Acc-Ni. Cre-Ni is quick to take a position and Acc-Ni has to work around it.
Dual: Acc-Se supports Acc-Ni by taking up challenges and targets that Acc-Ni suggests are worthwhile.
Activity:
Acc-Ni and Cre-Se share the interest in skillful action that lets them constantly be in the center of things without being singled out for errors and embarrassed. They tend to appear very proper, honored members of society but more likely to gain honor than concrete rewards. One partner serves as the society's hands, quickly doing whatever seems to be expected of him and the other serves as society's conscience and common sense, staying steadfast in all kinds of chaos. The activity partnership is more satisfactory in its abstract than its concrete form.
Super-ego:
Acc-Si and Acc-Ni share a point of view but fight for power. Each feels the other's methods are misplaced. The results of their actions are in many ways directly opposite and thus the actions of the other seem to only make worse what the other perceives to be the problem.
Conflict:
Acc-Ni and Cre-Si share the air of avoiding failure like the plague, doing whatever it takes to perfect their skills, being prepared to succeed in whatever circumstances appear but beyond this they have little in common. Cre-Si is a show-off that requires much support to work at its best. Acc-Ni will rather hide its skills unless insulted or specifically called for. They will constantly find themselves in cross purposes with the Acc-Ni person often being in a slightly advantageous and more commanding position.
Contrary:
Acc-Ne and Acc-Ni are united in their drive to master the art of abstract thinking but where Acc-Ne will directly quickly suppose that his actions are correct though he might later return to redo his activities and again suppose the same thing, Acc-Ni will collect information doubting itself until it has the whole picture and constantly doubt itself. Acc-Ne will not appreciate Acc-Ni doubting it and feels this as insulting. From the outside it is often difficult to differentiate these two. Quadra spirit will generally be the easiest way.
Quasi-identical:
Acc-Ni and Cre-Ne, relation of mutual misunderstanding and often disrespect. Unwillingness to engage in dialog. They are united in their calculating abstract character but where Acc-Ni is out to just prove it's correctness once again, Cre-Ne is seeking the one perfect idea that will thereafter solve everything. Both believe the other is producing nothing of importance and getting undue credit, Acc-Ni quite willing to prove that Cre-Ne has failed in reaching its goal and Cre-Ne dismissing Acc-Ni for creating nothing of importance.
Other issues:
Acc-Ni is characterized by the 'victim' style of sexuality.
