    I agree. In his book Reinin mentions that it is even more useful for typing than introverted/extraverted and rational/irrational. I'm not sure if he is right in the case of positivist/negativist, though...

    What makes asking/declaring especially interesting is, there is no convincing explanation for it in Model A. There is no corresponding function dichotomy:
    Merry/serious and judicious/decisive can be explained with valued/subdued.
    Carefree/farsighted and yielding/obstinate can be explained with evaluatory/situational.
    Tactical/strategic and constructivist/emotivist can be explained with inert/contact.
    Static/dynamic can be explained with mental/vital.

    The remaining four dichotomies have to be explained differently. Function blocking, plus/minus and all the stuff. Not really convincing. In other words: Democratic/aristocratic, process/result, positivist/negativist and asking declaring truly add information to socionics which is not included in Model A...
