On the quadral axes
To start presenting the quadral axes, I'll first lay some definitions for the Jungian axes:
Logic (T): abstract aspects of a system, how it all fits together
Ethics (F): emotive aspects of human interaction, personal relations
Sensing (S): empirical aspects of present reality, what can be done
Intuition (N): interpretative aspects of non present reality, what could happen
With that being said, I can move on to the definitions:
Coherence (C): making things consistent to facilitate communication
- Ti: checking the internal consistency of an abstract framework
- Fe: unifying the mood at a social gathering
- S-: creating common structures for work
- N+: creating a common way of understanding the world
- Te: checking how a system would translate into the real world
- Fi: focusing on personal feelings proper to one person
- S+: anticipating setbacks to a plan and working around them
- N-: identifying the limitations of a paradigm
Harmony (H): accepting present conditions to avoid conflict
- T-: resolving the differences between systems and structures
- F+: resolving personal conflicts and disagreements
- Si: tuning the environment to suit personal demands
- Ne: identifying all potential outcomes and interpretations
Relevance (R): focusing on the most important perspectives in the moment
- T+: identifying which systems hold the most present potential
- F-: expressing a particular perspective in an appealing manner
- Se: exerting influence over the concrete environment
- Ni: interpreting particular data that holds present importance
Then, it is possible to describe each quadra by combining these elements.
Alpha: Coherence and Harmony, admitting all aspects and integrating them
- Ti-: checking for how logical inconsistency can be avoided
- Fe+: creating a welcoming mood for everyone
- Si-: carefully designing soothing environments
- Ne+: taking account of all systems in a grand paradigm
Beta: Coherence and Relevance, taking in all aspects to extract the most important
- Ti+: applying useful rules in the creation of structures
- Fe-: forming a heavy atmosphere for the transmission of ideas
- Se-: exerting control over the implementation of projects
- Ni+: constructing detailed visions with a central idea
Gamma: Accuracy and Relevance, prioritizing particular aspects that hold importance
- Te+: implementing abstract ideas into innovative projects
- Fi-: recognizing people with whom there are strong bonds
- Se+: resisting limiting structures that emphasize trivialities
- Ni-: isolating those ideas that hold the most promise
Delta: Accuracy and Harmony, appreciating the individuality in each aspect
- Te-: finding solutions that work for everyone
- Fi+: relating to people independently of prior bonds
- Si+: taking precautions against later inconveniences
- Ne-: envisioning all alternatives and their viability
It is also possible to follow the opposite process and find a new set of sub-elements:
Abstract
- Ci+: designing complete systems that harbor no contradiction
- Ae-: prioritizing ideas according to how applicable they are in the moment
- He-: building new systems from any set of ideas
- Ri+: synthesizing paradigms that can have a visible impact
External
- Ci-: building congruent structures in relation to achievable goals
- Ae+: building workable projects that take account of setbacks
- Hi-: balancing different demands for specific features in a design
- Re+: controlling the most important details of a project
Involved
- Ce-: setting clear rules for group interactions
- Ai+: working with uncomfortable feelings against social pressures
- Hi+: mediating personal struggles that hamper well being
- Re-: dominating the social space in the expression of a perspective
Internal
- Ce+: expressing a framework that binds everyone together
- Ai-: identifying where frameworks fail to encompass personal feelings
- He+: finding deep meanings from any individual perspective
- Ri-: presenting inner visions in an intense manner
