Abstract
Using a large body of empirical socionic statistics encompassing more than 40 author-developed sociodiagnostic questionnaires, 7000 questionnaire items, and 39000 respondents, this article compiles and analyzes lists of those questionnaire items (questions) whose socionic profiles are most closely linked with each of the 12 socionic functions of the psyche (Ni, Ne, Si, etc.). On the basis of the resulting lists of questions, generalized descriptions of the substantive content (that is, the semantic cores) of each function are constructed. The resulting descriptions are considered in terms of confirming the face, construct, and predictive validity of the psychodiagnostic questionnaires used, all of which were compiled using the same author-developed methodology.
Methodology
In constructing socionic profiles of questionnaire items, approximately 7000 questionnaire questions were analyzed. The socionic profile of each questionnaire item was obtained from the responses of between 360 and 15000 respondents who evaluated that item. Respondents’ psychotypes were diagnosed using V. L. Talanov’s diagnostic questionnaires (more than forty questionnaire versions with different sets of diagnostic questions). In total, responses from 39 thousand respondents were taken into account.
V. L. Talanov’s sociodiagnostic questionnaires are self-learning, with a recurrent training procedure and initial reliance on respondents’ self-typing (on the psychotypes reported by respondents on the basis of self-assessment in parallel with questionnaire typing).
First stage of questionnaire training. Suppose that we have responses from a sufficiently large number of participants (who reported their psychotype by self-assessment) to a certain questionnaire question. Within the group for each reported psychotype, we can calculate the mean response score for this question. This procedure is usually carried out using participants’ responses that have first been cleansed of the influence of social dissimulation and individual response-style features (such as preferences for high or low ratings) and then finally normalized (during normalization, raw response scores - from 1 to 5 – are converted into normalized questionnaire-item scores with a sample mean of zero and a sample standard deviation of one). The responses of different participants who report the same type are taken into account with different weights when calculating mean type scores. The weighting function used is optimal (as calculated from the results of mathematical experiments) and reflects both the participant’s confidence in their reported type and their socionic competence, which depends on the length of their familiarity with socionics.
Given that, as calculations show, the mean reliability of self-typing among respondents who reported their type is approximately 62%-66%, this quality of formation of training type samples proves entirely sufficient to obtain quite reliable type profiles for every questionnaire item examined. There are, however, certain “pitfalls” in this procedure. First, psychotypes that are rare in the sample are contaminated by errors (false alarms) from psychotypes that are more frequent in the sample (the so-called diffusion of errors from more frequent types toward rarer ones). Second, because people are continuously distributed in psychological space between psychotypes, the mean coordinates of psychotypes that are rare in the sample are also shifted toward more frequent psychotypes with similar properties (the “statistical slope” effect). Third, there is also a “social fashionability” effect, that is, greater or lesser social popularity of selecting each psychotype during self-typing. All these systematic errors must be taken into account and corrected in order to improve the accuracy and adequacy of diagnosis. Fortunately, in practice all these undesirable effects can be modeled mathematically quite easily (in any case – reliably), and therefore they are fully compensated computationally on the basis of the resulting mathematical models. Consequently, on the basis of the training sample we ultimately obtain an objective and practically unbiased picture of the normalized responses to each questionnaire question of interest, averaged within each training type group; that is, for each questionnaire item we obtain a set of 16 algebraic numbers – the type profile of that questionnaire item.
Second stage of questionnaire training. If we have a questionnaire consisting, say, of 300 questionnaire items, for each of which a type profile has been calculated on the training sample, then in effect we have 16 diagnostic vectors (one vector for each TIM), each consisting of 300 algebraic numbers, “reference responses” – the normalized responses of training-sample respondents averaged within the type group. By comparing the vector of a new participant’s normalized responses to these same 300 questions with the 16 vectors of reference responses (specifically, by measuring the linear correlation between the participant’s responses and each of the 16 diagnostic vectors), we obtain for each participant a set of 16 numbers characterizing the proximity of the participant’s responses to each of the 16 “standard” psychotypes. The psychotype for which the highest correlation coefficient with the participant’s responses is obtained is taken to be the participant’s true psychotype. In new samples (which did not previously participate in the training procedure used to obtain the primary diagnostic coefficients), agreement between these newly diagnosed psychotypes and those reported by the participants themselves (that is, the self-typing psychotypes) averages from 55 to 61% across different questionnaires. A detailed mathematical calculation shows that the reliability of the newly diagnosed psychotypes is substantially higher than that of those reported by self-typing. If the former, as indicated above, is approximately 62-66%, the latter gives a reliability of assignment to the true psychotype (that is, the objectively closest standard psychotype) of 85% to 95% (again varying among questionnaires, depending on their length and the selection of questions). All mathematical calculations will be published in an article by the author now in preparation and specifically devoted to analysis of questionnaire reliability. The newly obtained type diagnoses (which are more accurate and, moreover, are now available for all participants rather than only the portion that reported its type) form the training sample of the next, second level, on which participants’ responses to each questionnaire question are again averaged by psychotype; that is, new, refined, and more contrasted (less noisy) vectors of reference responses are formed for each psychotype. In this within-type averaging, the responses of different participants, even those belonging to the same type, are also taken into account with different weights – but this time in proportion to the Fisher function of the linear correlation coefficient between the reference responses of the corresponding standard psychotype to which the participant is closest and the participant’s vector of normalized responses. The resulting diagnostic coefficients of the questionnaire questions (that is, their numerical type profiles) can already be used as final values, but only after a number of further necessary corrections have been introduced, additionally increasing the accuracy of all profiles and the corresponding accuracy of subsequent diagnosis.
Third stage of calculating diagnostic coefficients – the stage of final corrections. At this stage, first, the effect of error diffusion from more frequent types toward rarer types is again compensated in the socionic type profiles of all questionnaire items. Second, the remaining “skewness” in the intercorrelation matrices of socionic traits is corrected. Specifically, a small mutual rotation of the vectors of the 15 socionic traits is performed, with simultaneous correction of the weights of these traits used in the inverse calculation of the corrected type profile, so as to obtain the maximally orthogonal system of 15 traits both in the array of participant profiles and in the array of profiles of the many questionnaire items. A second criterion used simultaneously in this axis rotation with simultaneous optimization of trait weights is maximization of agreement between the two diagnoses (questionnaire-based and self-typing). Specifically, a mandatory condition is an increase, rather than a decrease, in diagnostic agreement in a sample of 25000 people (with reported self-typing TIMs) as a result of the optimal orthogonalizing rotation. The third criterion is minimization of the rotation angles (maximization of covariances between the old traits, before rotation, and the new traits of the same name obtained as a result of the rotation). As a result of all these procedures, final diagnostic type and trait profiles are obtained for all questionnaire questions, from which function profiles, in turn, can readily be calculated. It is precisely these final questionnaire-item profiles that are used in the present article, first to identify lists of questionnaire items exclusively (preferentially) associated with each of the 12 socionic functions, and then to solve the article’s principal task - obtaining generalized portraits of the functions (that is, identifying their semantics and substantive meaning).

Results and Discussion
The generalized portraits of socionic functions presented in the table below (their semantic content) were obtained directly as a result of semantic analysis of the lists of those questionnaire items (see later in the article) that demonstrated a predominant association with these functions.
Table 4. Generalized portraits of the 12 socionic functions of the psyche (semantics of the functions)
| Main generalized semantics of the psychological function - based on the lists of questionnaire items presented below that are predominantly associated with each of the 12 functions | Hypotheses concerning the cerebral biochemical background correlated with a strong function | |
|---|---|---|
| Ni | Pessimism, depressed mood, with frequent notes of autoaggression - masochism or suicidal moods. Frequent symptoms of derealization and depersonalization with a sense of alienation from the surroundings. Laziness. Carelessness, lack of diligence, unreliability, weak motivations. Symptoms of apathy and abulia. Egoism, indifference, and frequent ill will toward other people, indifference toward children. Dreaminess involving withdrawal from reality into a fictional fantasy world, where one becomes merely an observer. Scenario-based mental modeling of both past events and various imagined events, generally devoid of pragmatic meaning. Frequent illusions of anticipation. Ni does possess the capacity for forecasts and for thoughts about the future, but within its characteristic pessimistic-depressive coordinate system there is little interest in the future, and its forecasts are negativistic in character (Ni provides frequent thoughts about the future only “on request,” when it is a subordinate creative function). The physiological capacity itself for thoughts about the future is blocked by program Si and its active serotonergic mechanisms – in this sense, the capacity for forecasting, which requires rational evaluative mechanisms, is less an Ni property than an “anti-Si” property. An Ni subject is characterized by a high capacity for introspection and self-analysis. An orientation toward searching for and seeing primarily dangers and threats in the surroundings. A situation of solitude is comfortable and habitual. Secretiveness, a weak need to communicate and share information. Avoidance of close bodily contact, avoidance of physical activity. Preference for twilight and darkness; more often an “owl” in sleep schedule. The most introverted function of all. | High glutamatergic activity (increased activation of postsynaptic NMDA glutamate receptors is associated with depression, autoaggression, and anxiety); low serotonergic and cholinergic activity; probably also reduced dopaminergic activity in the CNS. |
| Ne | Curiosity, a drive toward perceiving novelty, constructing, combining, and making sense of new combinations of elements. Originality of ideas. Paradoxical thinking. Likes novelty, uncertainty, incompleteness. What has been superficially assimilated and superficially understood quickly becomes uninteresting, being replaced by a drive toward something else new. Fantasies are not sequential and plot-based but characteristically “fragmented,” with almost chaotic “jumping” from the initial point-object in very different associative directions in search of similarity according to some criteria that often change involuntarily, with associations that have just come to mind suddenly intruding into the thinking process. Associations by contiguity (situational, temporal - that is, those capable of unfolding into a sequential chain) do not predominate; instead, associations by the structure and external form of phenomena predominate (that is, static associations - chaotic and practically unordered into any sequence in which one thing could follow another over time). Likes surprises. Sudden turns of thought are characteristic; in thought and conversation, often jumps from topic to topic (under the influence of new associations-considerations that have come to mind). Under the influence of sudden thoughts-associations, often mentally “drops out” both from conversation and from perception of the surrounding reality - hence increased distractibility in behavior and inattention to the surroundings. Fine motor skills tend to be impaired (probably because of elevated norepinephrine), and coordination of movements as a whole is also impaired. The lifestyle is characterized by adventurousness, carefreeness, distractibility, and lack of discipline. The presence of many different interests (usually unstable) is characteristic. The dominant principle in life is the next current interest (“interesting” is the key word). In everything around them, values pluralism and multiple alternatives, openness to change, informational openness, and freedom of information exchange. In behavior, uninhibitedness and impulsive improvisation dominate over systematicity and predictability. Carelessness in personal appearance and in the organization and order of everyday life. Easily picks up other people’s positive emotions (hope). Optimistic hope predominates over skepticism in thought. Interests are directed toward possibilities in the surroundings and therefore are to a considerable extent linked with the future. Toward surrounding people, is not malicious, does not hold grudges, and is undemanding. Needs them as links in information exchange. Introspection is uninteresting. Interest in any “bodily pleasures” is noticeably reduced. Selectivity in retrieving events from memory is reduced (may become confused about recent memories). | High dopaminergic activity, low serotonergic activity. Glutamine activity (linked with anxiety and depression) is more likely reduced, while noradrenergic activity is increased. |
| Si | Pleasure, satiation, enjoyment, food, appetite, bodily comfort. Increased sensitivity to one’s state of well-being. Also senses one’s body well, its muscles, even internal organs. Muscles are relaxed, without tension. A well-developed cerebral map of one’s body and the space immediately surrounding it - hence good coordination and spatial orientation. High sensitivity of olfactory, gustatory, tactile, and proprioceptive sensations. Senses the shape of objects well (sculpture is its domain). Developed fine motor skills (dexterous hands and fingers, and fine manual work gives pleasure). Movements are flexible, soft, unhurried, without any angularity. Relaxation, rest. Compromising and peaceable. Avoids stress and therefore any conflicts. Concentration on the present. A subject with program Si is simply physically unable to think about the future (it does not work; they cannot penetrate beyond the veil of the future with thought). Therefore does not make plans in advance (and rarely, with difficulty, thinks about the past), but lives in a stream of current sensations. In general, imagining anything that the Si subject does not currently see or sense is difficult. Complex scenario fantasies – these are especially difficult. Focused on getting enough sleep, eating with enjoyment and without haste, getting a massage, and taking a cozy posture in a comfortable chair. Dizziness and orthostatic collapse are uncharacteristic (that is, drops in blood pressure and dizziness upon suddenly rising from a lying position). Anxiety and anxious reflections are uncharacteristic. Does not notice dangers. Very far from any philosophy or any abstract reasoning. Thinking is concrete. Tends to simplify life in understanding and perception. Reflection on the past and future in general (one’s own or others’) is uncharacteristic. Cannot plan not only the future but partly even the current day (cannot plan activities in time at all, just as cannot look into the future). Fears are also uncharacteristic. In food and any pleasures, always knows measure and harmony - never overdoes it (overeating something is not characteristic of Si, despite all its gourmandism). Life proceeds in harmony, peace, and tranquility without any emotional rebelliousness. Anger, malice, rage, struggle, an active stance toward life, interference in other people’s affairs, planning, foresight, a sense of danger, anxiety, autoaggression, symptoms of depersonalization with disturbance of the body schema, and lack of appetite - all of these are far below average in the case of Si. From an evolutionary standpoint, a close connection is highly probable between the Si strategy of individual primates and their high specialization in grooming. What Si and Ne have in common, allowing them to be combined into one pole of “judicious” traits – peaceableness (somewhat more pronounced in introverted Si) and a generally benevolent and interested attitude toward other people (absent in both Ni and Se). | Reduced overall noradrenergic activity, substantially increased serotonergic activity. Activity of postsynaptic NMDA glutamate receptors is reduced or at an average level. Overall DA activity is reduced; ACh is unremarkable. |
| Se | Highly competitive behavior, proactive aggression, territorial aggression. Love of power. Coercive pressure and instilling fear as preferred strategies. Believes that the strong have the right to enjoy all the material benefits of life by exploiting the weak and taking the fruits of their labor. Egoistic; for the sake of personal interests, readily tramples others’ interests without considering even their relative absolute magnitude. Likes to display superiority (showing off and deliberately humiliating others as possible substrategies). Fearlessness. Low autonomic-emotional reactivity to situations of struggle and threat (bradycardia and low heart rate in emotion-provoking situations are especially characteristic). Aggression has a “cold” character - that is, it is not defensive but specifically proactive, beginning not from rage but much more often from boredom. Rage is more often demonstrative and controlled and, in any case, appears only after aggression has already begun (as a subsequent adrenaline surge additionally facilitating physical mobilization). High sexuality, increased libido. Good coordination of movements. Intensive metabolism (fears cold less than others). Prefers radical solutions liable to escalate conflict. Anxiety, shame, guilt, and respect for the rights and interests of other people are uncharacteristic. Feelings of revelation and “grasping the essence” from dopamine surges are uncharacteristic. Speed of decision-making. Moral egoism (demands made of others are much higher than those made of oneself). Uninhibited movements. Weak functioning of mirror neurons. Rapid wound healing. Reduced pain sensitivity. Instantaneous impulsive reactions to changes in the surrounding environment. Other people’s resistance does not calm but only provokes the Se subject to intensify coercive pressure and aggression. Conflict is a source of pleasure rather than unpleasant experiences. Thoughts are concrete and highly selective (without fantasies). The voice is more likely low than high (and other symptoms of increased testosterone and androgenic activity in general are also characteristic). High tolerance of respiratory viral diseases. What Se and Ni have in common, allowing them to be combined into one pole of “decisive” traits – their simultaneously increased egoism and ill will toward people (more pronounced in Se and less pronounced in Ni because of the latter’s passivity). What Se and Si have in common – concreteness of thinking, poverty or absence of fantasies, good development of the spatial map, and good coordination of movements. | High ACh and testosterone, low glutamine activity. Serotonin and norepinephrine are average or above average; dopamine is average or below average. Oxytocin is reduced, vasopressin increased. |
| Ti | Ti creates a static map of the surrounding reality in order to simplify the subject’s orientation within it. Since no “imprint” of reality can be analog and at the same time one hundred percent perfect (the brain would not have enough resources for this), Ti is therefore forced to partition and classify reality, distinguish what is important from what is unimportant (that is, construct hierarchical models), and, most importantly – identify similar features so that instead of a thousand different descriptions it can ultimately use only a few universal ones. Ti methods – evaluating structures, classifications, and concepts. Classification and systematization of objects into the cells of structures. Bottom-up inductive cognition of the world (specifically analytical cognition, not perception – cognition in Ti proceeds from the particular to the general by identifying similar features and constructing generalized schemes and models; perception, by contrast, more often proceeds from the general to the particular – indeed, this is precisely what the “maps of reality” produced by Ti are for). Classification of objects according to criteria of important versus unimportant, primary versus secondary, cause versus effect. Unification and standardization. Comparison of objects or their elements with various criteria. Sorting. Analysis of complex phenomena by constructing hierarchical models of them. An instinctive predisposition toward command of the laws of formal mathematical logic and use of them in evaluating objects, events, and phenomena. An abundance in speech of special words that increase the precision with which the formal-logical meanings embedded in a phrase are transmitted (strict construction of the phrase, an abundance of function words clarifying logical interrelations, fastidiousness regarding the use of cases and prepositions that reflect logical interrelations among words). Perfectionism in constructing logical models, where every small element matters because even one small element can destroy the logical coherence of the entire construction. For the same reason, careful regard for the “truth of facts” and unwillingness to distort them to accommodate someone else’s opinion, even that of a superior. Interest in the organization of the state system as one of the most important systems of the surrounding world. Increased interest in any fields of activity that use or reveal static structures of logical interrelations - science, law, programming, mathematics, encryption and decryption, cartography, archaeology, and so forth. Interest in constructing mathematical models of social and natural phenomena. The main thing in Ti is the need to explain and understand observed phenomena, where to understand means to establish cause-and-effect relations (that is, hierarchical relations) and construct a reproducible theoretical model of the phenomenon. Ti’s principal evaluative criteria are structural coherence, functional viability of the structure (model), simplicity and beauty of the structure, and its universality and repeatability across different phenomena. Comparing objects with one another, comparing them with criteria, and finding similarity and commonality in a disparate set of phenomena is Ti’s favorite and most frequent occupation. Ti is characterized by an increased capacity for spatial-logical operations - hence a developed ability to quickly understand the meaning of such phrases as “father’s brother” and “brother’s father,” as well as a capacity for rapid and successful mental mathematical operations with simple fractions, which is positively correlated with Ti (and negatively with Fi). Ti is characterized by increased concentration, consistency, and a certain “viscosity” of thoughts and reasoning, which adhere closely around the object being mentally considered. It is characterized by patience, meticulousness, and long-term inertia of interests. Another, and evidently physiologically connected, side of subjects with strong Ti is their low insight into other people’s feelings and experiences (both positive and negative). The capacity for emotional resonance is weakened (although not to the same degree as in Te). At the same time, in Ti (unlike Te), the capacity to establish emotional and social contacts is selectively impaired, and the capacity for diplomacy and emotional manipulation in general is sharply weakened. Low suggestibility, distrustfulness, low sociability. Ti also has a reduced capacity for mental visualization. It is characterized by strong inhibition of any external sensory interference (noise) and any internal impulsive urges. | Low oxytocin, reduced dopamine. Serotonergic activity is apparently increased. Vasopressinergic activity also tends to be increased (especially in LSI, but partly also in LII). |
| Te | The task of Te is to evaluate the efficiency of actions already performed or, more often, only contemplated and planned. Hence the main Te criteria: efficiency, benefit, expediency, utility, return on investment, prospects. Hence Te’s particular success in business. Saving time, combining tasks, increased workaholism. If Ti is oriented toward the optimality of theoretical knowledge, the optimality of a theoretical static picture reflecting the world, and the optimality of any constructed static structures, Te is oriented toward the optimality of current, actual actions. Unlike Ti, Te does not search for an ideal theoretical solution, mentally “polishing” it for a long time, but instead stakes on “some” solution to the existing problem. The main criterion – the result and its benefit (a good ratio between effect and costs, primarily material and time costs, and also labor costs, although labor costs, because of Te’s workaholism – come last). The authoritativeness of other people’s views is not very important for Ti, because Ti rechecks everything itself regardless of time; but for Te, the authority of the sources of proposed approaches, theories, and recipes for solving problems is important - Te is optimized for real-time activity and therefore may lack the time resource for rechecking (although it too likes to recheck facts), so the authority of another person’s opinion is one important criterion when making decisions, which Te always does under real-time conditions. If Ti is specialized for constructing complex static structures (existing outside time), Te is specialized for constructing complex schemes of the subject’s own actions unfolded over time. Hence Te’s close connection with temporal planning of one’s activity. Ti is not alone in developing stereotypes of its static reflections of the world; Te also develops its stereotypes – but these are linear models unfolded over time, dynamic stereotypes, stereotypes of acceptable chains of effective actions. For Ti, cause-and-effect relations are one indicator of their logical unidirectionality, that is, the hierarchy of elements within structures “pulled out” of time and out of anyone’s concrete subjective experience (static schemes of reality). For Te, however, cause-and-effect relations – are not a question of structure and hierarchy; they are concrete links for constructing an optimal linear sequence of one’s own actions over time. If Ti does not avoid making structures more complex when this is necessary in the interests of truth, Te is characterized by a tendency to coarsen and simplify recipes for action in order to make them more acceptable for practice and therefore more optimal from the standpoint of extraverted-logical criteria. If the main criterion for Ti is truth, correspondence between model and reality, the main criterion for Te is benefit, practical efficiency from the standpoint of the subject’s interests. Because of its specialization in sequential chains of causality, Te understands world history, the sequence of historical events, and changes of eras and formations better than Ti. Te (but not Ti) is negatively correlated with musical ear (for most Te subjects, “the bear has stepped on their ear”; they are especially insensitive not only to music but also to intonations in other people’s speech). Te is immune to being infected by another person’s mood (even more so than Ti). The speech of Te subjects contains selectively few adjectives but many action verbs. Te, like Se, is characterized by attenuation of emotional-autonomic reactions (subjects of extraverted logic show attenuated sweating and heart-rate acceleration responses in emotion-provoking situations). Unlike ethical functions and Ti, Te does not know how to control voice volume (for example, to highlight important moments in speech by increasing volume). For Ti, principle matters (its main criterion – the adequacy of the created map of reality to truth), but for Te, the result matters - therefore Te lies much more often and willingly than Ti (for Ti, the probability of deliberate lying is far below average; for Te, conversely, it is above average, as one of its successful strategies for achieving the currently relevant goal). If Ti is positively correlated with the strength and duration of orienting reactions in a new environment (looking around and surveying), Te is negatively correlated with orienting reactions (it does not spend much time studying a new environment, immediately begins acting according to ready-made templates, and adjusts its programs in the course of action). Because of its orientation toward optimality of action, extraverted logic is also characterized in its sphere of interests by a much more competitive (and therefore more conflictual) spirit than introverted logic. A Te subject is very individualistic in activity and inclined to rely only on themselves, on their own strength. The principle of “art for art’s sake” is more alien to Te than to any other function. If typical Ti views are characterized by adherence to the principle of long-range action (everything in the world is interconnected, and any structure influences everything that exists in the world regardless of distance), Te adheres to exactly the opposite principle - short-range action (to understand the essence of a phenomenon, it is sufficient to study only what is located immediately nearby). Ti tends more toward simultaneous (parallel) cerebral information-processing mechanisms, also used by the visual analyzer, whereas Te tends toward successive, sequential information-processing mechanisms, “occupying” and taking them away from the auditory analyzer and premotor cortex. Different regions of the left-hemisphere cortex tend toward Ti and Te mechanisms (but in both cases predominantly the left). In the case of Ti, this includes the region at the junction of the left superior temporal and parietal cortex, associated with perception of spatial-logical relations. In the case of Te – the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is especially important, where the cerebral center for evaluating the efficiency of actions (comparing costs and results) is located. The ACC is activated in response to reduced efficiency of actions, in turn activating the locus coeruleus and causing a phasic norepinephrine surge – hence workaholism as the principal strategy for solving arising problems (on the role of the ACC, see: Gehring, William J.; Goss, Brian; Coles, Michael G.H.; Meyer, David E.; Donchin, Emanuel (1993). “A Neural System for Error Detection and Compensation”. Psychological Science 4 (6): 385. doi:10.1111/j.1467-9280.1993.tb00586.x.). | Probably increased noradrenergic activity against a background of reduced vasopressinergic activity. |
| Fi | Evaluation of other people’s relationships (their causes, quality, direction, changes, etc.). Evaluation of other people’s attitudes toward oneself. Evaluation of other people’s emotional states (without emotional resonance, with a “cold nose”). Evaluation of other people’s actions from the standpoint of morality. Evaluation and direction of one’s own behavior according to moral criteria (example: a feeling of lasting gratitude for other people’s good deeds as a moral principle. Program Fi subjects sometimes also experience guilt about certain actions of their own). General moralistic, didactic moralizing (capable of becoming sanctimoniousness). Increased attention to formal behavioral ethics, including group ethics (as if what a person says is not so important, but they must say it politely). Tendency toward ethical tabooing of behavioral norms. In its moralizing, Fi almost always relies on group morality (possibly making it more contrastive and exaggerated), but does not go against the current. Multidimensionality of ethical evaluations of any external situation (“My ethical evaluation of any situation always depends on a great many of its most diverse nuances and therefore is rarely predictable in advance”). Unlike Ti, Fi does not cling to rigid universal principles in the sphere of moral evaluations. The stronger Fi is, the more flexible its system of moral taboos and the more it is tied to specific people and situations (“What is permitted to Zeus is not permitted to the ox”). Ability to avoid quarreling with influential and useful people. Constant evaluation of contemplated actions in terms of possible consequences for one’s relationships. Almost never goes “against the current,” that is, is in no way revolutionary. In this Fi resembles manifestations of Si, but the causes of the resulting conformity differ. In Si, it is the desire to preserve personal comfort and tranquility; in Fi, it is concern for the system of one’s relationships. Therefore Si and Fi behavior diverges if all the subject’s friends “go into the revolution.” The Si subject will still prefer to remain sitting on the sofa, whereas the Fi subject will follow everyone else (again, in order not to damage relationships). Program Fi avoids conflicts in relationships and more often calms people around it than provokes them (however, this is characteristic only of the program position of Fi; in the creative position it may quite well be used for deliberate provocations). Fi is attentive to differences among people, never confuses people, and is always attentive to individual personalities. Strong Fi is characterized by weakened mathematical abilities and especially weakened perception of spatial-logical relations (phrases such as “father’s brother” and “brother’s father” invariably cause difficulty in rapidly grasping the meaning; abilities for mentally operating with simple fractions are likewise sharply impaired, where spatial-logical operators such as “above,” “below,” “numerator,” “denominator,” and so forth are also actively used). A number of symptoms indicate weakened capacity for mental spatial rotations of objects (that is, Fi is associated with a deficit of spatial imagination). In addition, Fi has difficulty penetrating the meaning of complex long sentences (both the first and second are “anti-Ti” features). It quickly tires of heterogeneous information that must be sorted (also an “anti-Ti” feature). Fi subjects generally have neat, legible handwriting, which indirectly indicates reduced noradrenergic activity (in contrast, increased in Te). The Fi subject usually evaluates the inquisitiveness of their mind and their intellectual abilities as modest and quite average. Intelligence, knowledge, and creativity (highly valued by Ti and even Fe) are usually rejected by Fi subjects as principal and important values. On this basis, however, Fi finds common ground with Te subjects - social success is equally important to both functions, although from the standpoint of different aspects of it. What Fi and Te have in common (allowing them to be combined into one pole of “serious” traits and making the corresponding socionic trait not entirely empty) – their common orientation toward social success and therefore their readiness often to “bend” to society, although they do so in different ways. By contrast, the opposite “merry” pair of functions, Ti+Fe, is more oriented toward a “principle,” toward some ideal (good or not), and for the sake of that ideal is sometimes prepared to oppose the position of the majority. However, these paired similarities of the functions are not as strongly expressed as in the opposition between decisive and judicious traits; therefore the semantic content of the “merry-serious” trait with features original to it is weaker. | Probably increased vasopressinergic activity against a background of reduced noradrenergic activity. |
| Fe | The essence of Fe is that it is always an evaluation of external events that matter to the subject, directly expressed through some emotion. The stronger and more frequently this emotional evaluation of events occurs, and the more strongly emotions are expressed in the process, the stronger Fe is. Program Fe is more “tuned” to emotional evaluation of those events that have negative meaning for the subject (negative events are more significant for the subject), whereas subordinate, creative Fe, compared with program Fe, relatively more often emphasizes positive emotional meanings that are more useful for purposes of emotional manipulation (for this reason, only negative human emotions clearly correlate with the rational pole, whereas positive emotions show a weak tendency toward the irrational pole). In subjects with strong Fe, emotions are accompanied by play of intonation and intensified facial expression. Strong emotions lead to increased attraction toward or rejection of the phenomenon or object that evoked them; in danger they trigger a program of defensive aggression, and at the same time they serve as a warning signal for other individuals in the troop. Strong emotions need spectators because they are an instrument not only for individual evaluation of a situation but, above all, for transmitting information about this emotional evaluation to other members of the group. It is no accident that strong negative emotions are contagious and are a component of group defensive aggression – for example, the cries and jumps of monkeys after one of them sees a snake. For the same reason, subjects with strong Fe are emphatically open about their feelings and may even give an impression of particular demonstrativeness and theatricality in their behavior. Even outside emotional manifestations, the Fe subject habitually tries to attract maximum attention to themselves - one means may be bright, frequently changed, or unusual clothing, an unusual hairstyle, bright makeup, and so forth. The Fe subject always tries to influence other people’s emotions with their own emotions as well, producing “emotional contagion.” Emotions, especially negative ones, can easily become contagious (and, indeed, this is one of their evolutionarily generated purposes, because they warn other individuals in the troop of danger). Subjects with strong Fe are characterized by abundant speech. Strong Fe is correlated with a strong sense of smell, high suggestibility, high sensitivity to distinguishing the individual timbre and intonations of other people’s speech, and increased emotional empathy (that is, resonant empathic experience of others’ feelings). Fe subjects are more suggestible than others to other people’s opinions and even deliberately seek others’ advice. Carriers of strong Fe tend emotionally to exaggerate both their joys and, in an emotionally negative direction, the problems they encounter. Increasing voice volume with a rapid, sharp transition to shouting is a habitual symptom of defensive behavior in subjects with strong Fe. The most vivid manifestations of defensive aggression (shouting, squealing, hair standing on end, jumping in place) occur in humans (and most other primates) when strong Fe is combined with strong Qe, that is, in the EIE psychotype. Fe generally reacts painfully to any criticism, even constructive and useful criticism, involuntarily responding to it with manifestations of defensive aggression. | Increased dopaminergic activity. |
| Qi | Very low stress tolerance. Avoidance of stress and risk. High individualism; does not tolerate group pressure. All people are equal to the subject - they are not divided into “our own” and “outsiders” (low vasopressin). Lack of self-confidence, shyness. Has difficulty readjusting and changing plans - attention is inflexible. Noise interference easily distracts and scatters attention (low acetylcholine). Clarity and perfectionism of internal moral attitudes. Not causing harm to another person and respect for others’ boundaries are indispensable components of them. Attaches exceptional importance to general, global social justice - a truth-seeker in life. Justice – the key word for Qi. Attaches exceptional importance to personal freedom, human rights, and questions of one’s own and others’ independence. Light sleeper. Afraid of pain. Touchy and vulnerable, gets stuck on memories of grievances. Pays little attention to time and uses it uneconomically. But is economical and prudent with material resources and stingy with money. Skin abscesses and dermatitis arise easily - a high level of inflammatory reactions (high histamine, low cortisol?). Libido is reduced. | Low vasopressin, low oxytocin, low acetylcholine; reduced androgens are possible. Increased glutamine and serotonin and low cortisol are probable (reduced hormonal function of the adrenal cortex?). |
| Qe | Irritability, high defensive aggression (including increased frequency of its symptoms - muscular “twitchiness,” motor restlessness, enhanced pilomotor reflexes, corresponding to high NA activity), high demonstrativeness and pretentiousness of behavior, large sweeping handwriting (the usual deterioration of fine motor skills with high norepinephrine), tendency to migraines, internal anxious restlessness, nervousness, lack of restraint and composure, orientation toward emergency situations of struggle, accomplishments, and heroic feats; reduced pain sensitivity; specialization in resolving crisis situations and therefore a tendency to increase the emotional intensity of any situation. A Qe subject is well adapted to leadership in situations where “life is an eternal struggle; we only dream of rest”; love of power is increased, and the subject likes to command and stand at the head of the process - especially at critical moments in history. Frequent changes in voice volume during speech. Carelessness toward errors and flaws. A tendency to stir up problems and nonconformist disagreement, “sharpen” situations, and intensify pressure when resistance appears (radicalism; a situation of unfolding struggle gives pleasure). Weakness of the visual analyzer - the auditory-verbal analyzer predominates over the visual one. Rapid memory. Likes the unity and emotionality of the crowd. Orientation toward leading and representing group interests in crisis situations (which are regarded as superior to anyone’s individual interests, except the subject’s own, which they know how to place at the head of group interests). | High norepinephrine, high acetylcholine, reduced serotonin, increased vasopressin. |
| Di | Conservative, petty, and viscous in thought. Resistant to boredom and monotony. Can remain motionless for a long time. Obedient “without reasoning.” Fatalistic. Concrete perception proceeds from the particular to the general and gets bogged down in details. Has difficulty understanding rapid speech and difficulty switching attention in conversation. Faith stands above doubt. Adheres to external rules and symmetrical order - is a perfectionist and pedant in these matters. A perfectionist in meeting deadlines (does not arrive late) and in the monotonous evenness of activity (without accelerations, decelerations, or any “breakthroughs”). Low level of excitability and defensive aggression (low norepinephrine; proactive aggression is always above the level of defensive aggression). A Di subject is completely devoid of demonstrative traits in behavior. An ardent adherent of groupism, attaches very great importance to loyal-subject fidelity to the group, collective, and superiors. Adheres to hierarchical organizational systems. Tends to underestimate the role of individuality. Does not understand or respect the boundaries of other personalities and does not value others’ independence (which may manifest either in excessive exploitation or excessive guardianship). Jealous. Recognizes the right to collective coercion of the individual. Sense of humor is weakened; poorly understands figurative meanings. Tends to be secretive and suspicious. Is not afraid of pain or bitter taste. There are physiological symptoms of low prolactin and high vasopressin. Di and Qe combine into a common pole of “aristocratic” traits, characterized by dominance of group values (troop, family) over individualistic ones. For the Qi+De functions, combined into the opposite “democratic” pole, individualistic values predominate over group values (importance of independence, noninterference, not imposing a point of view, etc.). In clarity of semantic content (and therefore in relative “strength”), the aristocracy-democracy trait is close to another quadral trait, namely merry-serious, and is weaker in strength and clarity of semantic content than the judicious-decisive trait. | Low norepinephrine, low prolactin, low glutamine, especially high vasopressin, increased serotonin. |
| De | Marked hyperthymic temperament. Self-confidence, stress tolerance, thirst for action, movements are easily initiated (excellent functioning of the premotor frontal cortex), rapid pace of action, talkativeness, speed of thought, broad distribution of attention and rapid switching, combining many activities simultaneously, efficient use of time, future-directed action, excellent and rapid retrieval of needed facts from memory, no problems with concentration, unceremoniousness, fearlessness, easily becomes enthusiastic and inflamed with desires, high strength of motivation, strong sense of humor, responsiveness to novelty, strong orgasms. Rather indifferent to living nature and environmental stimuli. Sensitive to processes developing over time. Does not hold grudges and is not easily offended. Does not constrain other people’s freedom, is not malicious, but is also entirely unconcerned with global justice and truth-seeking - simply has no concern for other people or eternal values. Prefers to do everything personally rather than force others to do it. There are symptoms of dominance of the left division of the visual analyzer. Sensitivity to physical pain is average or above average. | Hypothetically - high ACh, NA, and DA activity. Oxytocin above average. Reduced vasopressin, histamine, cortisol, and serotonin. Glutamine average or above average. |
Lists of Questionnaire Items Predominantly Associated with Each Socionic Function
The exclusivity index, in descending order of which the questions are arranged in each list, is calculated as the product of the function weight (that is, its algebraic value in the function profile) and the proportion of this function in the total function variance (in turn, this proportion is calculated as the ratio of the squared function weight to the sum of the squared weights of all 12 functions).

Conclusions on the Validity of the Questionnaires Used
It is not difficult to see that the portraits of socionic functions of the psyche obtained in this article on the basis of questionnaire results coincide in all principal features with descriptions of the functions by those socionic authors who used the method of direct observation of people to describe these functions. For example, here is a description of the functions by O. Tangemann, who adheres to the most traditional socionic conceptions based on Model A (see http://socionics4you.com/post-7022):
“Te — business logic or applied logic: business acumen, efficiency, rationality, technology;
Ti — structural logic or theoretical logic: abstract structure, system, scientific theories;
Fe — ethics of emotions: open emotional interaction, direct emotional reaction;
Fi — ethics of relations: relations between people, moral questions, awareness and observance of traditions;
Se – volitional sensing, strength of character, physical strength: striving for power, dominance, status, acquisition of property, persistence;
Si — perception of sensations: harmony of spatial forms, a sense of comfort and relaxation;
Ne — intuition (insight) of possibilities: ability to evaluate internal content, a person’s potential abilities;
Ni — intuition of doubt and time: premonition, forecasting, the ability to notice and anticipate developmental dynamics, poetic imagination, mystical feeling.”
Not a single contradiction arises between this description of the functions given by Olga Tangemann and the description of the functions proposed in the present article. The difference is that the function descriptions presented in this article are much more detailed than Tangemann’s and also include additional details that, until now, have either been ignored by Olga Tangemann and other “socionics observers” or, more often, simply not noticed in people around them.
Face validity of a test implies that, in its diagnostic component, the test relies on diagnostic marker properties recognized by other researchers. Construct validity requires that results obtained from the test be consistent with and correspond to conclusions obtained from independent sources. As can be seen, both forms of validity are confirmed for the diagnostic questionnaires used with respect to the substantive content of the functions, which, first, is used in diagnosing types by these questionnaires and, second, is reproduced anew and in full when these questionnaires are applied to new independent samples. One can also conclude that predictive validity is confirmed for the questionnaires used – the socionic statistics obtained with their help reveal properties of functions that are not known to the general public (and therefore cannot initially have been incorporated into the testing results by the training procedure), yet they are nevertheless empirically detected using these questionnaires; moreover, they either had already been noted earlier as properties of the corresponding functions by individual specialists, or they agree well with theoretical conceptions that connect previously known and newly discovered properties of the functions into a predictable correlational constellation through the presence of common causes at a deeper level (including the physiological level).
