How does Model B2 work?

Just like Model A, Model B2 has 8 functions and elements. For more information on the blocks, you can read Vladimir Vincent's Model A document.

9. Dialoguing (Ego, Compliant, 4D, 3P): Highly adaptable to the situation, this function seeks an outside agenda or standard, which one takes upon themself to fulfill to satisfaction. Despite this ability, the psyche lacks an understanding of what it wants to achieve. Therefore, it will seek problems outside to solve the issue at hand and thus find a sense of purpose.

10. Absorted (Ego, Reactive, 3D, 4P): The seat of many of the most important personal values. The psyche's behaviour may appear random to outside observers, as one prefers to handle it in a case by case basis. The psyche will reject any intrusion against its handling of this information, and will have clear expectations about how it should be.

11. Defensive (Super Ego, Reactive, 2D, 1P): A major point of conflict with the outside, this is where one perceives it encroaching upon what is considered a private space, as a pressure to engage in a meaningless activity. Rather than bend to outside expectations, the psyche will prefer to hold on to its inner rules and standards.

12. Renouncing (Super Ego, Compliant, 1D, 2P): Though not rewarding itself, this is an area considered important, and whenever a problem arises, the psyche will try to let the outside handle as much as possible, having no real preference, concern, or insight as to what the end result should be.

13. Chimeric (Super Id, Disconnect, 1D, 4P): The source of many frustrations. Although the psyche profoundly desires to acquire skill in this area, it lacks the understanding of the basic rules on how it works. Thus, despite knowing very well what one desires, one is unable to evaluate which sources are to be trusted regarding how to improve on it.

14. Improving (Super Id, Adaptive, 2D, 3P): The psyche rapidly absorbs information on this area. Through this, one can develop its goal of understanding better their needs regarding this element, such that they can be provided for by the self.

15. Deconstructing (Id, Adaptive, 3D, 2P): This element is used as a means towards other goals. Identifying the circumstances, the psyche can find how to support other functions while still rejecting outside agendas regarding this element.

16. Projecting (Id, Disconnect, 4D, 1P): The psyche can easily identify this element on the outside, and uses this knowledge to reject instances of it. Information regarding this element always ends up being rejected and replaced by the psyche's agenda of removing this element wherever it might be.

N+: Expanding on a single paradigm and possibilities, finding and giving meaning to patterns

N-: Working with different paradigms and possibilities, recognizing the limitations of each one

T+: Recognizing the most impactful actions, maximizing the potential of a project

T-: Reconciling different options, integrating the points of view of others

S+: Working with contingency in courses of action, adapting as things progress

S-: Designing and holding on to structures of work, finding ways to get back on track after a setback

F+: Paying attention and appreciating different points of view, maintining common ground despite disagreements

F-: Expressing your own perspective in an appealing manner, adding intensity to emotional interactions

To preserve symmetries on the flow of information, positivist types start with a negativist element and vice versa. The ninth element always belongs to the Q1 axis of a type, and then proceeds towards Q2, Q3 and finally Q4. Functions 13 to 16 are the dual of the element 4 functions before them. In both cases, this follows the ring of Benefit.

Refining the definitions of Sensing through Model B2

For those who have checked the elemental definitions of Model B2, it is quite apparent that Sensing is considered in terms of how to work and conduct projects. This aspect is notoriously absent, however, in most people's idea of Si. I consider it pertinent, thus, to redefine Si such that it can be best fit into my proposed framework. Si is not about sensory experiences, however pleasant they are, not about psychological comfort in general; or at least, it's not limited to that. To make a good contrast, it is useful to look first into Se, which is identifying the most impactful actions -whether on the social or practical sphere- and how to effect a change in the environment (here I'd like to pause and differentiate this from T+, which recognizes where potential lies, rather than how to enforce the structure in question). Si is unconcerned about making an effect per se, rather, it recognizes personal calls for confort and then satisfies them by recognizing which aspects could...

Natalie Wynn (IEE): Personality type analysis

Image
The purpose of this typing is to give a better sense of how the individual elements and functions come together in one single sociotype. As most of my previous articles have been focused on the elements, in-depth explanations of how a function works will be provided as the arguments are presented, with an attempt at relating how Model B2 functions are similar to specific Model A functions, as well as their differences. In this case, I will focus on the conflicts between the strong elements of the IEE: N- against N+, as well as F+ against F-. For this, I have selected transgender youtuber Natalie Wynn, host and owner of the channel Contrapoints. 9. Dialoguing F+ Perhaps Wynn is best known for her elaborate costumes and set design, which at first glance suggests the presence of F-, that is, the crafting of a message to be more appealing and shocking, with the purpose of conveying one's inner dispositions towards certain ideas or people. However, that relates to the means of her work,...

Positivist and negativist pairs

In a previous post, I proposed that positivist elements are expansive, concerned with the production or absorption of a new framework, which is accepted without a further filter, while negativist elements are refining in this regard, seeking to assess existing frameworks according to an external, non universal standard. I'd like to point out that this is not the same as the extroversion/introversion dichotomy, where each side takes respectively similar stances regarding the nature of content that is absorbed, rather than referring to the interpretation and/or management of such content. Now, I will mix both of these dichotomies to discuss the pairs that can be found in either Priority or Dimensionality blocks. SFi is refining as to personal relations, and it is not devoid of personal preferences, primarily when they refer to how comfortable and peaceful interactions will be. It is, however, positivist, and thus uses such interactions to take in what others have to say and deepen th...
