    Reinin dichotomies - Wikisocion
    quadra values usually help a lot, autocrat/democrat is usually easy to spot too...process/asking/positivist/constructivist/tactical/farsighted/yielding really give a better perspective on the psychology of each type but are not as useful for typing (though they can be)

    Most of the Reinin dichotomies are consistent with LII for me, but I still am skeptical of it being used as a typing method because I've seen too people for whom it doesn't work well for. I think the quadra value ones and static/dynamic are most useful.

    The null / non-null dichotomy works consistently IME.

    Karnaugh map listens to previous posters and says...

    Use quadra, temperament and club separately; don't mix them!

    Quadra triple:
    -Merry/Serious
    -Judicious/Decisive
    -Aristocrat/Democrat

    Temperament triple:
    -Rational/Irrational
    -Extratim/Introtim
    -Static/Dynamic

    Club triple:
    -Sensing/Intuitive
    -Thinking/Feeling
    -Aristocrat/Democrat

    EDIT: Specifically, the Karnaugh map came up with the rule that a dichotomy is useful if is ignores temperament OR ignores club OR is either Merry/Serious or Judicious/Decisive. I used the four Jungian dichotomies as the four variables for the map.

    There is a secret fourth triple:

    Negative/Postive
    Process/Result
    Static/Dynamic

    AKA thought style.

    "Correct" might be a bit subjective here, but I think it can go either way. I think people can type themselves as various types using different dichotomies, and I, personally, don't find the Reinin system to be as realistically applicable, it comes across as too externally observationally focused
