Socionists have argued for the existence of functional "accentuation" factors since the 1980s to account for these differences.
In recent years, DarkAngelFireWolf69 has been published several papers on the 2nd type dimension through the Humanitarian Socionics Institute. He has concluded that it is a processor of energy, as opposed to information, and concerns the efficacy level of the person when dealing with various tasks. The research stands to be highly influential, having applications in career placement, psychotherapy, and informatics. Additionally, it brings clarity to some questions concerning the function order, explaining how information aspects can be processed in apparent violation of the functional succession rules. (the violating aspects are not information aspects at all, but aspects of energy whose processing functions are unrelated to the functions of the information metabolizing type or their ordering).
