Even Reinin himself didn't want his dichotomies to be taken so seriously.

I have not heard of this energo model, but it appears to be ranking IM Elements purely by dimensionality (strength) rather than by valuing which makes it lose a key feature of Socionics.
Very interesting indeed, particularly I find the positive/negative dichotomy to be true though its generally presented wrongly and in reality very difficult to understand. I find that negativists have a fragmented construct in their understanding process where conclusions emerge from a disjointed premises. Whilst conversely positivists have a more holistic understanding process where conclusions emerge in a seeming ''harmony''.The way I've observed that for myself is through comparing kindred and business relations type pairs in real life, where the difference emerges since the same IEs are processed differently.

Personally I've been won over by the energomodel and similarly I've lost faith in quadra values, which I find inconsistent especially for me personally.
