Ok then. Full on functions. I think that works well, but sometimes certain aspects of a person's personality can be explained by certain reinin dichotomies that are well documented. For example, if a person continually looks for things that are missing rather than reinforcing creation, then they're probably negativist. But I agree that the best way to type people is by the functions.
