I'm back to revising my understanding of socionics, so don't read too much into these questions. What exactly do the arrows in your diagrams mean? Does the creative function succeed the base only as a 'stage' in cognition, or does it build forth directly on the base's conclusions (eg. without actual seperation of real world data into the creative function's information aspect and it's inverse)..?

I feel I should warn you that there are some (informal) materials that indicate that use of the creative function is a step back on the cycle rather than forward, in one half of the types (the result group: INTj, INFj, ENTj, ENFj, ISTp, INFp, ESTp, ENFp).
