Introduction

A great number of four-type groups that can be distinguished in socion, attention is drawn to several entities claiming the special communicative role. We are talking about equifinal groups "such that have the maximum effect of integrating and therefore the most preferred as a structural base of a mature, balanced society.

Such groups are only four "temperamental, a group of settings for the type of activity (" discussion clubs "), quadra and social progress. They are like four finite landmarks between which the choice of the direction of development of society in its critical points:

The "quadra" society "ring" temperaments

Temperaments play the role of sensor subsystem Socion installation on the type of activity, "an intuitively subsystem. Quadra closer than any other group associated with the values, so are ethical subsystem Socion. Group social progress reflect the processes of formation of socially expected behavior and enforcement of socially approved standards. They contain mechanisms for the development of society, so intuitive form Socion subsystem.

1 The central and peripheral types

This feature separates the beta and gamma, on the one hand, from alpha and delta, on the other.

Central quadra have their incentives such powerful factors like power and money.

Peripheral same integrated value-based knowledge and humane relations.

It is obvious that power and money are drawn to each other, as well as to the periphery of the ousted knowledge and harmonious relations.

Types of visibility in the society. Among the invisible, ordinary people all types are represented about equally, but of people famous and influential picture changes dramatically. Top of the pyramid covers six types.

1 Russian "troika»: EIE "Mentor / Player, LSI" Inspector, SLE -Hozyain / Marshal. (IEI "Lyric in quadra beta is repressed). This triad Russia enjoyed its historical path in which intertwined authoritarian power of the bureaucratic state with spiritual impulses restless soul.

2 American "troika»: LIE "Entrepreneur, SEE " politician, ILI- critic. (ESI"Guardian is a quadra repressed type). This triad has created a stronghold of liberalism and the economy of free competition in the United States.

I puzzling complacent ignorance of the realities of life and many of the current schools of Socionics, which are among the prominent people as much representatives of the periphery, and that the central type. Perhaps they feel after Ausra Augustinavichiute that it was not in classes, and in relationships. Remember the old argument about who is to blame: the people or the system? If all dualize believes Augustinavichiute, people will be better. But this can not be done if you do not move large numbers of people, that is not to destroy and recreate the whole pyramid of social stratification. Is not it easier just to do people?

2 types of right and left

I have discussed in detail at all levels of communication [3]. With this distinctive feature in socionists involves a lot of controversy.

The controversy begins with what types call the word "right" and which "word" left. "In my time, I proposed to rename the poles of this scale.

The dispute about Eros and Thanatos. And one and the other branches of progress, taken alone, lead to death, either from decay "slow death from lack of energy or surge" a quick death from a surplus of energy.

Thanatos "is the monopolization of one branch, Eros" trend cooperation between the two branches.

Of psychological dichotomies is closest externality / internality (J.. Rotter, 1966) "external / internal locus of control (lat. Locus" place). Blame yourself first in case of failure tend internals (left), this means that the locus of control is placed inside. Blame others "externalities (right), the locus of control is located outside [2].

At the time, I suggested that the direction of evolution to identify the sign of the function. What progress assign "+" sign, and any "-"? If you depart from the cybernetic principle of feedback, positive operating system is leading to a rapid, exponential growth of the system (left progress), and a negative feedback, giving the system stability, corresponds to the right progress.

Left (male) hemisphere of the brain, as we know from neurophysiology, controls the right half of the body. These subsystems of the human body has a peculiar type counterparts left progressnoy orientation. Right types of progress, on the contrary, corresponds to the right (female) side of the brain and controlled by the left side of the body.

3 Groups of social progress

These groups are formed by the intersection of two orthogonal binary scales considered:

sotsprogressa = leftism / right-hand x center / periphery

The Left The right-wing
Center Coordinator, Lyric
Entrepreneur Guardian Mentor, Inspector
politician Critic
Peripherals Advisor, Master
Enthusiast, Analyst Administrator, Humanist
Seeker, Mediator
Right and center-left "union of the second and third blocks.

1 Right center: EIE-LSI, SEE-ILI Group debugging social systems. Stability and order.

2 Left Center: SLE-IEI, LIE-ESI Group reforms, business development.

The right and left periphery "Union fourth and first quadra.

3 Right Peripherals: LSE-EII, ILE-SEI. Society of the future, information and humanization.

4. Left Peripherals: IEE - SLI, ESE-LII The deepest periphery, forced out of Socion. Gives a view from the side, communicates with other Socions. Fourth principle in excess tetratomii "fourfold partitioning system.

It is very important that there is, first of all, in each group dyad linked pairs is rational and the rational-order-audit. The fact that rational asymmetric relationship is much more stable. At the same irrational proven more resilient dual relationship.

Secondly, the second and third quadra with a communicative group are "on the same side." In the post-Soviet countries, they are always at war against each other. Cycle of reform-counterreform in the Russian Empire shows that the third quadra always block we have the second quadra. In China, they formed an alliance: the Communist Party enters the capitalist economy centralized methods. It gave the highest rate of economic and social growth in the world [4].

4 The organization of society: the distribution of the subsystems

Societal space in the stable version is organized through the balance in each of its subsystems "economic, political, psychological, intellectual, as well as between the subsystems.

1 Economic sphere: organizing principle "temperament groups. Same pace of technical, mental and other operations performed in conjunction comfortable in starting, stopping, and coordination of production activities.

2 Intellectual scope: organizational principle "discussion club. Deep and comprehensive analysis of the problem. Brainstorming. There is a good experience in training for the integration of systems.

3 mental health problems: organizing principle "quadra group. Most worldly comfortable: match values, provides a good proportion of relaxation and toning.

4 The political sphere: the organizing principle of the "Group of social progress. Orders gives energy pushes forward, encourages action, audit monitors compliance of proven standards, preventing deviation. Socionic interpretation is consonant with the steady growth of the sociological approach. Sotszakaz embodies the same mechanisms that are in structural functionalism referred to, expectations, and sotsreviziya corresponds to social control.

According to T. Parsons (Social System, 1951), in the course of development of a society, a system of "role-status", each of which is attributed to a certain expected behavior (attitude socionic order), and generates a set of sanctions "to promote or penalties for compliance or not these expectations "ekspektatsii (socionic attitude revision).

Went thru it and change 2 letter designation to 3 letter.

Went thru it and change 2 letter designation to 3 letter.

Thanks! This reminds me a little of another article I read a long time ago, which said the "big players" on the "world stage" are LSI, EIE, SLE, LIE, ILI, SEE. Basically beta and gamma with the exception of IEI and ESI, bc these two are the peacemakers and behind-the-scenes support. Idk how I feel about being marginalized like this though. And how alpha and delta feel, being excluded altogether.

I think it might be the same. Just wasn't sure if this article was on this site so I pulled it to review.

Actually here, I think I found it.

Communicative Act aspirations to the center (Gulenko)
to assess their chances in business competition
VVGulenko , 25.04.1998, Kiev.

Our brain, though, and has large reserves of memory, yet prefers to compress information, feeding it into the narrow scope of prompt attention. Unconscious store of information is huge, but the consciousness of possession of it only through consolidation in a relatively small number of concepts efficiently minimized.
Many representatives of the business world only over time and through bitter experience acquire a set of simple criteria to assess people and situations. Growth of life experiences closely paired with a more compact packaging of information and the development of its high-quality processing operations. I would like to show that typing as a special kind of classification helps a lot to speed up this painful process.

1 Modes of change, but the people remain.

Referring to the concept of the ideal type. Its developed by the German scientist Max Weber (1864 - 1920). What is a type? This is not the result of generalizing or averaging a solid facts. Ideal or pure type - is the "interests of the era", expressed as a mental construction. It is not extracted from the empirical reality, and superimposed on it as an ordering (normalizing) scheme.

Type indicates that no change in man. In any social system in the past and in the present there are people temperamental and calm, sincere and prudent, practical and dreamy. Removing the inevitable "noise" random offset, we obtain the desired type of concept. Its synonyms: lifestyle, personological profile, social character, socio-psychological type (abbreviated sotsiotip).

Typing long proved its usefulness, particularly in sociology. Analyzing the state of society, modern Western scholars often resort to the types of social behavior derived representatives of the Chicago School and U.Tomasom F.Znanetskim.
Their typology is composed of three types: a bourgeois traditionalist, guided by the stereotype), opposite his bohemian (rejects any value, its behavior is chaotic) and average between creative (flexibly combines traditional values ​​with new trends). Further development of this typology is happening today.

Just as the economy is based on the division of labor, communication on the cooperation of people with different temperaments and attitudes. In one pair of load is required to master and the other slave. It's better than the two leading or two slaves. In the first case, they do not share power, in the second case is hopelessly restrained. Still not optimal functioning.

How to define communicative style - personological profile of a man? Primarily through the observation of his behavior in different groups and situations.

In an evolving society operates social selection. His laws resemble natural selection, only taken to a higher level. These questions raise sociobiology, which takes its origin from the American scientist Edward O. Wilson, who published in 1975 the book "Sociobiology: A New Synthesis." Clash of the genes (the natural supply in the biosocial "market") with the educational impact of the environment (social demand) and forms personological personality profile.

That's what I call a profile or a type passed in the genes. Type not vospituem. Produced only to don the top and difficult to be separated from the actual type of adaptive mask - a person because society puts pressure on the human cargo of traditions, morals, government and corporate laws.

Using the comparison of life to the theater, take into account that every character in it a lot, but the main characters is not enough. Not enough at all. Desired place is occupied in fighting - physical, intellectual, psychological, either. Man by nature is inherent in the pursuit of the center, which also gives rise to an organizational hierarchy. Nietzsche called this instinct will to power, in Bergson - the vital impulse, at McDougall - energy "Gorm".

Is there co-operation then? Yes, but not in the center. At central locations (the highest public office, elite forms of intellectual labor, big business, the pop star, etc.) to a maximum of cooperative behavior - this conclusion is a temporary alliance to fight a stronger opponent.

First communicative legitimate aspirations to the center caught the Italian N. Machiavelli. In his treatise "The Emperor" (1513) he described the various methods of capturing and holding power. For its time, Machiavelli made a big step: instead of religious-dogmatic explanations of social behavior, he introduced to the game a real human interest.

Then, in our century, spoke of his countryman Vilfredo Pareto, who described the centripetal movement of people as the circulation (rise and fall) of the elites. However, Pareto too absolute of the tip. He did not realize that these laws weaken with distance from the center to the periphery. On the periphery people not so much competing as cooperate.

Let us analyze two triples sociotypes most competitive in this cruel world, where there is a struggle for the center at all levels - from the geo-political arena to the level of an ordinary company. Speaking figurative language Pareto, compare these types of large groups of "lions" and "foxes". Both the first and the second consists of more specialized communication profiles. Them and we will see below.

2 The power trio.

The unifying factor in this group - the struggle for power and order. In her face we learn constantly moving from one era to another three revolutions and counter-revolutions, coups and systematic warfare. It can not really be consolidated without the image of the enemy.

1 sotsiotip "Inspector": logical-sensory introvert.

Technocratic thinking, combined with a stable, even temperament. Organized and predictable, its action can not be carried out organically spontaneously, without any permanently fixed program.
As a businessman, "Inspector" is not very effective due to the inflexibility of static thinking and behavior, but as a public servant is optimal. Perfect leads routine cases. Slowly but steadily moving up the ladder podolzhnostnoy. Such people have kept the state apparatus of any political regime.

In feature films, this type is often portrayed as a stern and unbending alone-a fighter for justice, in appearance very similar to the traveler with cigarette advertising Camel. His resistance to life's obstacles is admired by women.

2 sotsiotip "Player": Ethical-intuitive extravert.

Has a pronounced tendency to intellectualism often since childhood. Is able to speak beautifully and cleverly. Playing facial expressions and voice, makes a strong emotional impact on people - from the most favorable to the nauseating repulsive. A very common type, so intraspecific struggle between his representatives particularly acute.

This character is written out to the nature of black and white colors. Inside it, there are many extremes of characters - accentuation: demonstrative and hysteroid, pedantry and zastrevaemost. Contradiction with itself permeate through him.

Interestingly, the "player" is a major provider of people-people with drive. Passionarnost on L.Gumilёvu - the ability to emotional overvoltage and sacrifice in the name of some ideal goal. The majority of geniuses and charismatic leaders belong precisely to this sotsiotip.

3 sotsiotip "Boss": sensory-logical extrovert.

Resolute man, who does not hesitate to providing power up to the physical pressure on the people, if the situation so requires. Maximally adjusted to the power of competition. The more obstacles encounters, the gathered and becomes increasingly coming.
Defense - not his style. Immediately tries to grope weakest spot of the probable enemy, conducting reconnaissance. If a direct attack not lead to success, begins bypassing the side or rear. Often, when this works through third parties.
People like a warehouse now virtually unchallenged form the image of our big business. Without stopping the current struggle for the power center hones their grip, flexibility and cold prudent thinking. Disposal of material resources of large sizes is an important stimulus for them in life.

If your team is composed mainly of sociotypes included in this triple, the high tension and, therefore, no conflict in it is assured. However, the same great advantage: if we can concentrate these mighty forces in one fist (which is greatly facilitated by the presence of an external enemy), we can do great things.

From a team in the presence of solid and resolute leader expect the greatest impact. However, the greater will be its initial success, the harder bitter division and enmity between the former associates. Suggest a life out of this difficulty - a permanent replacement becoming dangerous people to their younger counterparts.

3 Pragmatic triple.

Her consolidating factor - the pragmatic benefits. Pragmatism and instrumentalism, as it is known, is a national philosophy of the United States. Therefore, the group can still be called "the American trio." Acquainted with it in the faces.

1 sotsiotip "politician": sensory-ethical extravert

Uninhibited, keep your nose to the wind. Very flexible in their actions. Monitors the distribution of wealth and its never missed. Turns Looking at different locations.

Can not concentrate on the long one thing. In order not to get bored, needs a regular change of the nature of action.

Knows how to balance between the interests of the opposing camps, negotiating or bargaining. Has a remarkable ability of maneuvering, but among large groups of people. For such a person to open up, you need scale.

2 sotsiotip "The Critic": intuitive-logical introvert.

Cautious, skeptical, calculating. Before you begin, weigh the degree of its usefulness for yourself. Moreover, the utility is not necessarily a purely utilitarian. Can wait to accumulate additional information.

Observer developments. Keen eye for detail and barely emerging trends. Usually gives the impression of a wise and far-sighted man. Ironic. His criticisms cool any enthusiast.

Good financier, banker. Well-versed in the market of goods or securities. Diplomatic. The case seeks to reconcile the interests of the opposite sides, or you can create a reliable counterweight.

3 sotsiotip "Entrepreneur": logical-intuitive extrovert.

Nimble, dynamic, very easy-going person. All his life resembles a permanent steeplechase. Boldly advanced business initiative and pressing for its implementation.
Extremely cheerful. Appreciates the humor in all its forms. Life events only his temper: make stronger and more confident. Rather loner than a team player.
Tipster. Searches for the most daring and multiport commercial schemes. He was always among those who take advantage of new technologies and organizational forms. The secret of his success in business is not in power, and greed.
The confrontation of ideologies organized force and free pragmatism is typical for all parts of the world. However, in America, has long established priority of pragmatism (the victory of the Northern states over the South in 1865), and having ancient roots despotic East - the priority of organized force. And only in the Slavic countries of the former USSR - neither one nor the other. Felt sesquicentennial historical tired of the endless tug of war: democracy or authoritarianism.
How strange sounds from the standpoint of our mentality, but these two forces may cooperate. An example of the union of these triples - China. It is based on the principle of Deng Xiaoping's "one country - two systems": Pareto "lions" in their grasp political power, and the "foxes" set the tone in the economic life. Chinese reformer embodied the idea of ​​coexistence of opposites, a characteristic of the philosophy of Taoism, arose and a half thousand years ago.
This is the case in large scale. But the same laws exist locally, but few people think about it. China "in miniature", may act in a neighboring company and from this it is rapidly gaining a central position. Although achievement in any long-term unity of action of security forces and the pragmatists at our mentality evroaziytsev is likely unrealistic.
Thus, in principle, your business can be greatly improved if properly organized and systematic coordination communication. Learn to use the law of center and periphery in practice! If you are certainly ripe for this approach psychologically.

4 diagnostic questions.

All the major events in the world are determined by the actions of these six (three plus three) sociotypes. So it was before. So is there now. The rest of the communicative styles - peripherals. They are only a short time dabbling in the grand battle of giants and depart again. Their incentives - human relationships, curiosity, commitment is not ideological and nepragmaticheskim values ​​- do not leave a chance for a long time to get into the center.
If peripheral types predominate in your unit, it will be peaceful (not disputed) and comfortable, with a good psychological atmosphere, but, unfortunately, not competitive. Idea suggests itself: not decide whether this dilemma by typing the command half of the security forces, half of the pragmatists?
No mechanically will not help matters. The compound of the center and the periphery on a "fifty-fifty" leads to uncertainty, zigzagging from side to side, and in the end - to uncontrollability.
To begin, try out a typology for yourself. Below I place eight questions for each of the six central types. Answer them carefully, without haste.
Whatever the results, remember that this is just a reckoning. More reliable method of determining the social type - special interview with verification of its data in the subsequent communication training.
Answer each question in three ways: yes, no, I do not know. If you answer "do not know", refer to your friends, so that they have certainty. Otherwise (if such treatment has given nothing or do you want to do without a third-party evaluation) this answer is counted as "no."

Questions on sotsiotip "Player":

1 How often do you change your mood?
2 Do you have the inclination to the arts and sciences?

5 You are very unpretentious comfort, important thing for you - adequate food?
6 You are simple and democratic in communication?
7 You have an optimistic nature, you will quickly forget the trouble?
8 Jokes and humor - your habitual way of making contact?

Now compare your answers to all six series of questions. You belong to or are very close to the type, the questions to which you are eight times answered "yes." All other options closer to the type of drop as malonadёzhnye.

If you do not fit into one type, then your chances of winning in the central positions in society are slim. If you find that you can perform equally well in most of these roles, then your sotsiotip likely, "The Gambler". Further conclusions bother to do for themselves.
In conclusion, a few remarks about the methods for determining the type of person.

Tipodiagnostiku through the imposition of the scheme on human behavior can not be considered effective. Too great situational bias and other "noise". Can make a mistake in these conditions is very high. Such work better that will do a professional personology.
The type is determined by itself, when it becomes a situation of collision with the diversity of human sociotypes, at least, the communicative center. That clash - fast energetic contact in a mismatched interests under the guidance of an experienced personology. Then structuring forms proceeds convex and palpable.

When played out the conflict, frustrated as cover protective masks, officials familiar with a buffer to smooth the friction underlying genetic preferences of the individual with the requirements of the society.

Shake-up and cleaning of working groups after the failure - we have business as usual. When this happens again, think that using personology you ready for the organizational and, more importantly, personnel reforms and spend them faster and more efficiently.

Keeping my quadra in check, one day at a time.

Wisdom!

[mu4]

Thanks! This reminds me a little of another article I read a long time ago, which said the "big players" on the "world stage" are LSI, EIE, SLE, LIE, ILI, SEE. Basically beta and gamma with the exception of IEI and ESI, bc these two are the peacemakers and behind-the-scenes support. Idk how I feel about being marginalized like this though. And how alpha and delta feel, being excluded altogether.

Peripheral groups play the game at a distance.

Peripheral groups play the game at a distance.

I have been arguing with Gulenko about this since it makes no sense, though from what I have heard about the upcoming DCNH list, the translators Socionics Britannica, have been saying that only normalizing and harmonizing subtypes have no influence on the world stage as naturally distant types.

Contact types dominant and creatives are attracted to challenges and issue, additionally some of the bias I have heard has been rather irritating from Gulenko's latest DCNH that prejudices some gammas. And at times the inconsistencies arrizing from Gulenko assuming that some positive traits are inherit to the a particular subtype.
