To regurgitate my techie view:

Socionics is nothing more than a classification system; all components of behaviour are assigned to one of the eight tags but not without controversy. There are no dynamic bins and there should be no bin labeled dynamic because all information processing is dynamic. Te-classification comprises observations of a closed-loop system that rationalizes in realtime -as things happen, which is more analog-like. When Te-processes are on, input is also on and the processes with the highest priority lead the loop. Ti-processes are not in realtime but operate on data that has been collected previously, which is more discrete-like. When Ti-processes are on, input is off, and vice versa (a sort of daisy-chain controlled by the set of processes with the highest priority). Type should be all about process and information flow - not outcomes.
