Qi + Se

Markers of the Combination of Two Simultaneously Strong Functions: Qi + Se

The list of markers below was obtained from 10 thousand questionnaire items (with known socionic profiles) by selection according to the following criteria:

  1. Both Qi and Se in the question profile must be simultaneously positive (above average)
  2. The main selection criterion is the sum Qi + 0.6*Se (Se is taken with a smaller weight because it has higher variance — giving greater weight to Qi makes it possible to approximately equalize the contribution of the functions to the traits).
