Categories and Subcategories of a Function illustration

Nice chart Rmcnew. I always wonder how you manage to go so deep into socionics, I'd probably go insane if I did. Makes me think if it is possible draw everything that was in that chart of yours into that picture. Now, that would be awesome and I think it is possible. I wonder if there is an artist that is up to the challenge of drawing it in an abstract/realistic manner in the same time.

Thanks ...

I think that is an excellent idea and I have also thought of making illustrations in that way. If anyone is creative and interested anyhow.

How does it work?

Let us say that you want extroverted sensing, it goes sort of like this ...

Each category is a subcategory of the upper category

Extroverted Sensing -

------[Extroversion]
-------[Space, Quantity, Addition, Multiplication]
---------[Outside,Active,Direct]
-------------[Perception]
---------------------[Sensing]
---------------------------[Space,Concrete,Potential]

I agree with your chart. Good job.

Extroverted Sensing -

------[Extroversion]
-------[Space, Quantity, Addition, Multiplication]
---------[Outside,Active,Direct]
-------------[Perception]
---------------------[Sensing]
---------------------------[Space,Concrete,Potential]

Right when I saw that part, I thought "Einstein". His transcension to the second archetypal stage, made manifest in his Theory of Special Relativity. Each of those four components play a vital role in that theory.

And the General Theory: truely the General Theory is an appraisal of sensation.

I think you've got all of this very much on the mark... but I've not seen much about crosstypes....

I thought that for instance for an extrovert you chose between space and quantity to choose between judgment or perception.

It doesn't work like that?

I know what crosstypes are generally, but I have not studied them within a context that would enable me to speak of them in the same terms as I would with other parts of Jungian theory.

That is mostly a long-winded way for me to say that I do not know how to apply crosstyping in the way you implied.

It might in some certain instances, but I never intended to imply that in the chart, no...

Actually, now that I think about it is more like a ying/yang ... if you go left for extroversion then the you have [major space]/[minor quantity] and if you go lft then you have [major quantity]/[minor space]. For introversion it would be [major time]/[minor quality] and [major quality]/[minor time].

So, my answer is that both are used for each category, but I think you were on the right track when you thought what you did.

Cool .

Why are not the four "main" functions divided up into their introverted and extraverted constituencies? Should not the subset of introverted intuition differ from the subset of extraverted intuition etc.?

Because I wanted to emphasize the diffrences between extroversion and introversion in the functions as subsets. I might do that in a chart in the future, though.
