Taciturn pretty much means "reserved", and narrator "oppinionated".
Taciturn won't assume things, so it will constantly be trying to check wether the specifics of what it deals with are in agreement with the world around it. In conversation it will be asking a LOT of questions.
Narrator does the opposite.
Yeah, this one IS a bit tricky though.
The way I understand it, Taciturn and Narrator are "manifestations" of Aristocracy/Democracy. Any person has both the Taciturn and Narrator attitudes. What matters is which of the two is manifested in the Static behavior of the person, and which is manifested in the Dynamic behavior of him/her. This is determined by the Aristocracy/Democracy attribute.
Aristocrat: Static Narrator, Dynamic Taciturn
Democrat: Static Taciturn, Dynamic Narrator
Static Narrator means Concrete Introvert Judgment. This is a value judgment that is proponed with conviction. "How could you ... !", "You should just..." *
Static Taciturn means Concrete Extrovert Perception. A request for validation of a concept. "Do you mean [this]?", "Could this be the case?"
Dynamic Narrator means Concrete Introvert Perception. A description of an occurance from the first person view. "I was like ... !", "You know, whenever [this] happens..."
Dynamic Taciturn means Concrete Extrovert Judgment. A request for factual data; for specific judgments. "Do you want coffee?"
* this one is actually much milder in real life; not easy to describe... It assumes that everyone agrees that a certain thing is good or bad. Talking about how something "sucks" goes in this catagory.
Why don't I let you in on how complicated this really is....
None of what I wrote above actually "works" when you try to apply it on people, because for it to work you'd have to take Master and Slave types in account.
To give an example, socionics defines me as an INTj, taciturn type... however, in conversation, the things I say specifically are always of a highly oppinionated nature. This is because I am an ENFp Aristocrat-Narrator on the Slave level.
I have responded in a typically negative-aristocrat-narrator way both to a post made by Jonathan and Dee just hours ago.
As such, my attitude is to be described as "democrat-taciturn overlooking aristocrat-narrator". Every person has two of these attitudes, one overlooking the other.
-- my informed oppinion
Master/slave? Are you talking about Nietzsche?
Nope. I'm taking about DarkAngelFireWolf69's "16 subtypes". A theory that postulates that every person has two types instead of one.
Aren't Taciturn and Narrator simply other words for Asking and Declaring?
So why not use Asking and Declaring instead?
It's the same case with Aristocracy and Democracy. By definition, most who live in a democratic society and who are not aristocrats, or who think aristocracy carries some negative connotations, would not want to be Aristocratic. However, this is beside the point. They're just names.
