Thoughts on interpreting symbols in socionics 3

[krieger]

Since I can not edit my posts, Rational and Irrational refer to traits of functions in the above, not traits of types.

Maybe I should explain some of the terms, though.

What do I mean by Subjectivating and Objectivating?

Subjectivating means shifting the focus more towards the subjective, the privately available data, the appearance of things from a point of view.

Phenomenology means the study of appearances; subjective experience.

In Subjectivating function axes, the Focal point is on Phenomenology.

In Objectivating function axes, the Focal point is instead on Noumenology, the interest in reality independent of experience; or just their representations as objects-of-thought.

So that is instead the departure from the subjective.

This is basically my practical message to socionical practitioners: Accepting/Creating (Base/Creative) is in large part about subjectivity and objectivity. The former does "all it needs for its own purposes", the latter seeks a view in which the "own purposes" are eliminated as a factor.

Edit: I would reframe the last sentence as "the former involves knowledge that applies to a single point of view, the latter seeks a view from which the 'point of view' is eliminated as a factor."

Reason for edit: involving motivations in theories of information processing is bad practice.
