GENERAL PROPERTIES AND VALUES OF THE PSYCHOTYPES OF THE FOURTH QUADRA
V. L. Talanov
To identify clusters of properties common to the “Delta” psychotypes, 11 thousand questionnaire items with known socionic profiles were analyzed. From these, items satisfying two simultaneous criteria were first selected: 1) the absolute value of the mean score of the four types of the Fourth Quadra on the given item had to be greater than the mean values for the other three quadras; 2) no fewer than three types of the Fourth Quadra had simultaneously to show, on the given item, a value above or below the mean (below the mean – for items with negative loading).
The selected items (more precisely, the most characteristic among them) were then divided into 59 semantic clusters, with the items in each cluster grouped both by their substantive meaning and by the mutual correlation of their type profiles.
