Behavioral Markers of the Joint Strengthening of the Qe and Se Functions

(V. Talanov)

• This is, in general, an interesting topic, one that has not previously been described at all in socionics (unfortunately). At the same time, simultaneous “strong” combinations of functions can be highly non-trivial and produce a vivid behavioral picture.

Tomorrow we will similarly examine the combination of De and Se, and the day after tomorrow - Qi and Se (we already examined the combination of Di and Se about a week ago). Each time, quite vivid and unique psychological portraits emerge, and quite true-to-life ones - such people around us are real and do occur.

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 Qe and Se in the item profile must simultaneously be positive (above average)

2. The main selection criterion is the sum Qe+0,4*Se (Se is taken with a lower weight because it has higher variance - the greater weight on Qe makes it possible to approximately equalize the contribution of the functions to the traits).

Thus:

Qe+Se

(averaging the profiles of 132 scale items, 228227 respondent answers in total, all profiles except the 2nd and 3rd type profiles are normalized to unit sigma of the type profile). All profiles are given after corrective factor rotation

Unnormalized type profile (deviations from the mean in units of the population standard deviation):

Approximate percentage of representatives of each type group giving the raw responses “YES” and “RATHER YES” for the trait (averaging of all scale items, taking the sign of the item into account, diagnosis by traits)

Contribution of the traits to the variance of the property, in percent:
