Introduction

Attempts have been made to describe the socionic types in terms of temperament. The most well-known temperament system places sixteen types into 4 groups that share the same two sides of Extroversion/Introversion and Rational/Irrational dichotomies:

Ij temperament: Balanced-stable - Introverted, Rational, Static
Ip temperament: Receptive-adaptive - Introverted, Irrational, Dynamic
Ej temperament: Linear-assertive - Extraverted, Rational, Dynamic
Ep temperament: Flexible-maneuvering - Extraverted, Irrational, Static
*static/dynamic dichotomy is further expanded on here

Gulenko VI Method

Gulenko's symbols for the IEs are as follows:
S = sensus/sensing (Si)
I = intueor/intuition (Ne)
L = lex/law/logic (Ti)
E = emoveo/emotion (Fe)
T = tempus/time (Ni)
F = factor/force (Se)
R = relatio/relations (Fi)
P = profiteor/profit/production (Te)

Note: The demonstrative function or 5th function in Gulenko's energy model = (roughly) the creative function in Model A. So whenever Gulenko says demonstrative or 5th, you can safely interpret that as creative for today's purpose.
