Whilst conversely RIGHT types cycle the fundamentals of their architecture (the details) before conceptualizing their overall idea (cementing the big picture).

Now to add even more clarity both LEFT and RIGHT types are adept at cycling through concepts (big pictures) and architectures (details), however the key difference there is that they see those processes as secondary, like the creative function if you understand that example. RIGHT types will only focus on cycling through various concepts (big pictures) if they are easily available usually as a means of testing somebodies conclusions, ideas. Conversely LEFT types only focus on the architecture (details) if they are easily available and mutually they are used as a means of testing somebodies conclusions ideas.

By the way I've got these ideas from talking to socionics britannica who have various hypothesis he still working on with regarding reinin traits. He's still not published his theory or website, as he still feels it isn't finished. www.facebook.com/SocionicsBritannicaSchool
I'll check him out.
