    Default Rational Ego Function Styles?

    Why are these not developed in the theory?

    We have Romance styles, taking into account one's irrational Ego function.

    But what about the rational function?

    MBTI kind of addresses this, labeling the rational function the "decision-making function."

    So what do you think? Should Socionics have "Decision-Making Styles"?

    And if it did, what would they look like? What would they be called?

    Ideas, for instance--

    Fe-Ego: The Sympathizer
    Fi-Ego: The Empathizer, The Identifier
    Te-Ego: The Tactician
    Ti-Ego: The Logician

    yes that subject has been raised a couple of times, and I've also seen the solution for it. Slater81 has posted something about it, where the rational functions were something like:
    - agressive intellectual
    - victim emotional
    etc.

    I had bookmarked that thread cause I found it interesting too. But it seems that I can't reach it anymore...

    this is pretty much why i don't put much stock in those erotic attitudes. they emphasize the irrational function for no justified reason.

    You can find it in his blog, I believe. I think it can be considered as a final solution, more or less.

    Here it is:

    Well, there are the communication styles, based off the rational functions.

    Something I realized, looking at this: The Romance styles are based on Irrational Ego functions, whether as Base or Creative functions.

    However, the Communication Styles are based on the Rational function in the Base or Demonstrative slots.

    Not quite sure what to think of this...Why did DarkAngelFireWolf69 do it that way? Rather than grouping the types based on shared Rational Ego functions?

    Or, what if the Romance styles were based on the Base and Demonstrative functions instead of both the Ego functions? Then the Aggressors would be SLE, SEE, LSE, and ESE. Victims would be IEI, ILI, EII, and LII. Caregivers would be SEI, SLI, ESI, and LSI. And Infantiles would be ILE, IEE, LIE, and EIE.

    You know what, this is a different enough tangent, I think I'm going to start a new thread on this.

    I don't think DarkAngelFireWolf69 was intending the Communication styles to be the Rational equivalent of the Romance styles, just an unrelated observation of how the types communicate. That's the impression I get, anyway.

    I continue to find 1981slater's work on the subject to be a highly useful way of thinking about it. DarkAngelFireWolf69's communication styles are pretty good too, and can be used in conjunction.

    So, if the romance styles can be extended into the rational functions as by 1981slater, can the communication styles be similarly extended into the irrational ones?
