Socionics questions about subtypes and long-range/short-range functions

Subtypes:

A type that has a strong functional preference that may or may not be in keeping with the structure of said type.

Ex. An subtype of the INTJ would be more like an xNTP than a typical INTJ this would manifest in being less organized etc etc.

The subtype translations can be found in the quadra forums here is the thread that describes the ESFJ for example.
