    Angry Sensors are Right-Brained

    This is a clip of a neuroscientist who experienced a stroke and chronicled her experience from the inside - I highly recommend it.

    I see Ne, Si and to less extent Fi and Te in the right hemisphere description. Thus it's likely that Se, Ni, Ti and Fe are left.

    After watching that video (I had seen it before) I understood the connection between Ne and Si much better.

    That is a very interesting conclusion. I think that I agree with what you have said.

    That is of course totally wrong.

    She had difficult clearly defining what was what and who she was (every mixed into everything) which IMO means the stroke disabled her ability to use Ti.

    Her experiences of what she called right brained activity seem to be a mix of Si (awareness of body) which could of been brought on by the fact she had done some exercise, some intuitive function (stream of consciousness) and some ethical function (thinking about all the 'good and beautiful' in the world people).

    Strangely enough she seemed to have ability to assess the situation and form a set of clear actions to reach a specific goal (calling work, matching squiggles on card to squiggles on phone) and she remembered what she had to do and stuck with it, yet she really didn't have a clear idea of what was going on. Which IMO looks something like Te (and some Si) with absolutely no Ti.

    The funny thing is that I read somewhere that Augusta said:

    Judgers : Left = Statics, Right = Dynamics
    Percievers : Left = Dynamics, Right = Statics


    This would mean (if you based it on types primary functions)

    Te, Fe, Ti, Fi - right brained
    Ne, Se, Ni, Si - left brained


    Maybe whoever wrote that put it backwards.

    No, that would mean:
    Xi - left brained
    Xe - right brained

    I find it easiest to relate this to Judging/Perceiving, and Static/Dynamic would be my second guess. Mixing Augusta's idea into this:
    Xi accepting, Xe producing: Left brained
    Xe accepting, Xi producing: Right brained

    Putting the divide along Static/Dynamic in a single individual makes sense for the model of moving between the brain hemispheres rather than using them together. Also, it seems very strange for nearly everyone to leave the same brain hemisphere unused... this is an argument for the divide being Static/Dynamic.

    She was probably an Alpha NT, which explains well enough what abilities she lost/discovered in the stroke by the Static/Dynamic hypothesis; by Augusta's hypothesis, it only makes sense if she's LII (which she probably is). I'm afraid my Judging/Perceiving hypothesis wreaks havoc with what I see as.

    Fascinating insights, thanks! Now I know why I smoke weed: it's to shut up the Ne chatter of my left hemisphere and pass control to my Si right hemisphere

    You know process/result is also referred to as left/right (http://wikisocion.org/en/index.php?t...ess_and_result), perhaps it is actually referring to left and right brain hemispheres? I am considered 'process' as an ISTj and also very much left-brained in the way that I process information, so I suppose that I must confirm your theory as well. Also, I can easily understand why a parallel processor would find it easier to multi-task and a serial processor would have to be much more involved in whatever it is doing. You are very observant to have noticed this distinction - good work!

    No, no, no. Read this, please:

    RIGHT – LEFT (process vs. result, evolyutory vs. involyutory)
    PRAVYE – LEVYE (protsess – rezultat, evolyutory – involyutory)

    (Because this sign was "renamed" by V.DarkAngelFireWolf69, a confusion arose. In A.Augustinavichjute [ 2 ] and G.Reinina [ 5 ] this sign is called "left – right" (Leftists are ILE, SEI, EIE, LSI, SEE, ILI, LSE and EII, , rightists – ESE, LII, SLE, IEI, LIE, ESI, IEE and SLI). We utilized in this article the more contemporary "opposite" designations of V.DarkAngelFireWolf69 and T.Prokofevoy (Leftists are ESE, LII, SLE, IEI, LIE, ESI, IEE and SLI, rightists – ILE, SEI, EIE, LSI, SEE, ILI, LSE and EII). As the names of the attributes do not determine the attributes themselves, the changing of the names is an insignificant detail, but still mentioned in case one encounters opposite classifications)

    Not at all. You are jumping to conclusions based on too little factual information. If you study these phenomena a little further, you will realize that your "theory" doesn't make any sense.

    Bad work. The test dee linked to is based on the most common understanding of these aspects of thinking -- that the overall pattern is that J (rationality) is left brain and P (irrationality) is right brain. All the different types of thinking mentioned in relation to that test is sorted along these lines. The left brain thinking styles are all J, the right brain thinking styles are all P.

    I am myself fairly balanced according to most tests, including that one. In some ways I clearly prefer what is, according to that test site, a left brain style, whereas I in other ways clearly prefer and act according to a right brain thinking style.

    I agree with Phaedrus on the issue. Trying to connect process-result to brain emisphere preference is misleading.

    I answered 3 questions as a right-brained person and 15 questions as a left-brained person, which is a typical score for me. That the test options are sorted by their characteristic right/left qualities is necessary for the determination of a mutually exclusive hemispheric dominance (which is indeed the purpose of the test), and if there exists a correlation of the test's polarization of content to socionics dichotomies then perhaps it is ultimately justified. The information that you presented is interesting, but it doesn't explain the reasoning for using right/left designations or for switching them. Might I inquire as to the author? And lastly, how does the theory not make sense?

    This goes to show what takes place in the right side of the brain, but not everything that takes place in the right side. As far as you know the N functions are over there too, while T and F are on the left. Or as far as you know this person was experiencing a subjective reality of limitation, to where only certain aspects of realization had come through.

    So far it has been a decent hypothesis for many that ps are more right-brained and js are more left-brained. I would say there could definitely be statistics on this showing a correlation of P functions to right and J functions to left, but it's not always true.
