In addition to the primary installation on the type of activity it makes sense to allocate and secondary, in which a person also seeks to realize their abilities. It is adjacent to the primary one and is characterized not so much by the generation of ideas, as by business-likeness and realism.
It should be noted that in the secondary sphere of activity a person then realizes himself successfully, if he does not lose a strong connection with his native, primary installation. In fact, work is being done at the junction of two installations. And here it is important to keep the proportion: to interfere in the area of their secondary interests so that its main carriers do not reject you as a hostile invader.
How to determine the secondary installation in the type?
The combinatorial-dichotomic analysis of the socionic model shows that it has two sides - value and instrumental. We are interested in this case instrumental, working positions - 2, 3, 5, 8, that is, the whole right side of the position chart, if we use the Kiev numbering.
If the instrumental positions are filled with humanitarian aspects (E, R, I, T), then the secondary installation of the type is humanitarian. Its representatives are the types PT, LI, FR, SE. When instrumental positions are filled with managerial aspects (F, S, P, L), a group of secondary managers is formed - IL, TP, ES, RF.
By completing the instrumental part of the model with the scientistic aspects (I, T, P, L), we get a group of secondary scientific researchers - ET, RI, FL, SP. When performing a similar operation with social aspects, we will complete the classification by a group of secondary socials - PS, LF, IR, TE.
From the point of view of intertype shifts, this tendency can be called self-predualization, by analogy with the term self-dualization, which has long been an input for socionics. The difference between these two processes is that a person self-dualizes to achieve psychological comfort in an informal communicative environment, and self-semi-dualizes for a comfortable formal, working activity.
Let us trace the semi-dual shift in all types of socion.
1. Humanitarian displacement.
