Ætiological - isolates mechanisms for direct causation while exploring a system.
Bayesian - tends to include extraneous a priori considerations to improve calculations.
Fatalist - believes that future/past can be deduced from knowledge of present circumstances.
Frequentist - refuses to respect anything but empirical evidence and its empirical probability.
Inconclusive - has no specific preference in a rational basis, or is simply inconsistent.
Nomothetic - reasons using a comprehensive system of diagnostic references and the intuition.
Pyrrhonian - will doubt anything in any context, even skepticism itself.
Solipsist - identifies all convictions with the premise that only the mind really exists.
Stochastic - likes to interpret according to high recurrence and correlativity.
I have been thinking a lot about accommodating epistemology in socionics - perhaps the Pyrrhonian ideological suspension of judgment known as Epoché is common to irrationals and actually serves to bias their information metabolism and promote an inclination to perceiving lifestyles?

My model for epistemological inference corresponds exactly to DarkAngelFireWolf69's 'Thought Styles'!

Cause-Effect (analytical/positive/deductive) => Ætiologic
Holographic (analytical/negative/inductive) => Nomothetic
Synergistic (synthetic/positive/inductive) => Bayesian
Dialectic (synthetic/negative/deductive) => Frequentist
Bayesian methods combine probabilities a priori:
Synergistic - The behavior of this flow cannot be predicted. At its basis lies [ispytatelnost] - advance to the purpose through the tests and the errors. It it is possible to in a sense compare with the experiment in the laboratory, which is the brain of man. Synergists do not confuse temporary failures and current errors. They undertake attempt after the attempt, until success finally comes to them.
Nomothetic taxonomies implement inductive categorization systems:
Holographic - Code name of this intellectual style - holographic, or [polnoopisatelnoe] thinking. Term originates from the Ancient Greek words of holos - entire, whole and grapho - I write. As the base of this designation served the capability of holographers for the very tight packing of information according to the method “similar in similar”.
Ætiology is the deductive analysis of cause and effect.
Cause-effect - Cause-effect intellect is known under the synonymous names formal logical, or deterministic thinking. In both cases its rigid nature is emphasized. Speech during this thinking takes shape with the aid of the bonds (unions of reason) “since”, “because”, “consequently”. Mental process itself consists in the construction of the chains of cause and effect. They reduce the explanation to the indication of generating reason.
Frequentism only accepts probabilities a posteriori:
Dialectic - The quantum- probabilistic picture of peace, manufactured by nonclassical physics, corresponds to dialectical thinking. According to this paradigm, there are no rigid laws, are only tendencies probabilities. Absolutizing dynamic pole, it entertained idea itself that “into one river it cannot be entered twice”, because to entering second time flow already other waters.

Ætiological study is deductive because it is supported with the logical relation of pre-existing counterfactual claims. It is analytic because the claims are defined a priori and assessed mechanically allowing no room for ambiguity and thus it cannot be negated. The application may involve the induction of empirical conditions relevant to the premises and conclusion, but the relation itself is still deduced and does not require induction. It is positivist because it can be formulated a priori, it does not need working examples to support the validity of cause and effect.

Nomothetic classification is inductive because it represents the induction of empirical discoveries into definitive categories. It is analytic because the classes are separated using arbitrarily distinguishable threshholds that cannot be refuted in themselves. Applications require inductions of empirical specimens to support most significant distinctions between classes, however deductive analysis is not necessary as the premises of distinction will suffice for categorization. It is negativist because it cannot be formulated a priori, it needs classified examples to have any relevance as a system of order.

Frequency probability is deductive because it applies to unambiguous syllogistic relations between possibilities that are exactly defined. It is synthetic because it predicts synthetic correlations that may or may not be disproved a posteriori. It is negativist because it cannot be formulated a priori, only a posteriori probabilities are accepted.

Bayesian inference is inductive because it refers to the degree of belief in a subjectively defined possibility that is inducted rather than axiomized. It is synthetic because it predicts synthetic correlations that may or may not be disproved a posteriori. It is positivist because stochastic predictions can be made with regard to conditions that only exist a priori.

I think Frequentist or Fatalist are the best to use.

I hate reasoning as a way of explaining things and I love experiments and observations.
Nicely done! This also makes some missing pieces obvious:
-We still need some way of separating the superego pairs. In DarkAngelFireWolf69's work, that seemed impossible; now it doesn't.
-What is it about democratic and aristocratic that makes them bottom-up and top-down, respectively? The same question goes for extrovert->bottom and introvert->top. The same answer will likely apply to both.
As for the relationships:
-Negativist duals with positivist because the negativist needs material, while the positivist needs information tested (not necessarily empirically; finding gaps also applies).
-Analytic duals with synthetic because observations must be categorized, and categories require content
Need two more dichotomies for the relationships for a complete explanation.

Bump. Really awesome thread
Tentatively Bayesian-Pyrrhonian and contextually etiological when dealing with psychological and sociological domains, but I'd be a shitty pyrrhonian if I conclusively voted.
Nomoethic, Stochastic, sometimes Fatalist (seldom - only when chaos reigns)
Does this make me LIE or LII/LSI?
