The first that I will discuss here is one that has not been named yet. I will call it "compositional association".
A number of tenets and assumptions are characteristic of this technique:
- the semantic meaning of each of socionics' terms can not be contained in a definition
- of each of socionics' terms, it can be said what concepts and behaviors are associated with it
- while the terms are not semantically defined, they are defined compositionally
As an example, let's give a description of the Introverted Intuition function using this technique. I am using my own terms here, most of which should ring a bell with the more weathered readers. Some relations between terms have, to my knowledge, not been given names yet. I have given these the most intuitive names that I could think of.
Ni is an introvert function.
Intovert functions are associated with: pattern thinking, inaction, contemplation, privacy
Ni is an internal function.
Internal functions are associated with: big-picture thinking, maintaining status-quo, passivity, mildness
Ni is a perceiving function.
Perceiving functions are associated with: open-endedness, perceptiveness, chaos-tolerance
Ni is a resolute function.
Resolute functions are associated with: toughness, work mentality, discomfort-tolerance
The result:
Ni is a function associated with: pattern thinking, inaction, contemplation, privacy, big picture-thinking, maintaining status-quo, passivity, mildness, open-endedness, perceptiveness, chaos-tolerance, toughness, work mentality, discomfort-tolerance.

type's imagination is directed towards

, then LII would be the slave type...or, for example, suppose an EIE projects with expressive gestures a perfect
state in a way that even a master-ILI couldn't even do (lacking the ability to project so expressively), then ILI would be the slave type?
are good things more than
," that is more likely to indicate the slave type....whereas if one types someone based on "What roles does this person play? What IM Element does this person consistently seem to be "about," perhaps that's more an indicator for the master type (?).
