There are three methods of looking at DCNH subtypes:
1.) Dichotomies
DCNH is a sub-temperament theory. That means that, for example, the EJ-subtype is more extraverted and more judging than an average representative of a particular main type.
2.) Adjectives
The EJ-subtype is also called the Dominant subtype. But as I tried to clarify
in this thread, the adjectives should not be taken literally. Not every IP-subtype is really "harmonizing", not every EP-subtype is really "creative".
3.) Information elements
Gulenko explains that, for example, the EJ-subtype has strengthened

and

. He says that
![Extroverted Logic](images/smilies/Te.gif)
![Extroverted Ethics](images/smilies/Fe.gif)
,
![Introverted Logic](images/smilies/Ti.gif)
![Introveted Ethics](images/smilies/Fi.gif)

![Extroverted Sensing](images/smilies/Se.gif)
and
![Introverted Intuition](images/smilies/Ni.gif)
![Introverted Sensing](images/smilies/Si.gif)
are "strengthened in pairs". The problem is, if you expand the DCNH system logically you can easily get 8 and 16 subtypes - but you will come to a different conclusion:
A D-ENTp, for example, is nothing but an ENTp-Exxj if you want to use 16 subtypes. That means that a D-ENTp can be an ENTp-ENTj, ENTp-ESTj, ENTp-ENFj or ENTp-ESFj. (I hope everyone agrees so far).
The problem is that ENTp-ENTj and ENTp-ESTj, theoretically but also practically, have much stronger
![Extroverted Logic](images/smilies/Te.gif)
but unfundamentally weaker
![Extroverted Ethics](images/smilies/Fe.gif)
than an average ENTp. For ENTp-ENFj and ENTp-ESFj it is the other way round: They have much stronger
![Extroverted Ethics](images/smilies/Fe.gif)
but insignificantly weaker
![Extroverted Logic](images/smilies/Te.gif)
than an average ENTp.
Conclusion: Using the DCNH system it makes more sense to say that, for example, the D-subtype has
either much stronger
or much stronger
![Extroverted Ethics](images/smilies/Fe.gif)
than an average representative of a particular main type.
