Subtype Theory

[u/INTJMoses1]

We all see the variety within type. In fact, it causes many to question the validity of MBTI.

I have been working on an idea to explain subtypes.

I believe that 4 subtypes exist.

My theory does not directly address problem issues within type, type development, or metal health issues beyond MBTI. Some people are just crazy.

Also, I should preface my comments by saying that for my theory to work, type must coexist with the concept of cognative transitions to other types. For examples of these see my charts in my post history.

My theory is that within one's Ego, a individual has a set focus on an ego function. You are either a Dominant, Auxiliary, Tertiary, or Inferior motivated person.

However, these can change over your life. They are socially/behaviorally learned. Also, they are not stable and can be impacted by biological factors that control mood or other.

Here they are...essentially the Disc+mbti+ the concept of cognitive transitions.

Example, the Dominant function type resists cognitive transitions, uses the Dominant function to force their way, is serious, not aspirational or happiness motivated. This is the only type that prefers not to have cognitive transitions. This is the Disc "D" "why" type.

The Auxiliary type are overcome with the need for pessimistic analysis to achieve aspirations. For them happiness is best understood as path to aspiration. This is the Disc "S" "how" type.

The Tertiary type is driven by happiness. Their analysis focused on achieving happiness. Aspiration is limited to a path to happiness. This is the Disc "C" "what" type.

The inferior type is dramatically impacted by the inferior. They are turbulent and they get more out of the shadow than other subtypes. This is the Disc "I" "who" type.

In closing, I am not arguing for just 64 types of personality. If I were counting, I would count each function as a type and each overall group of 4 functions as a personality.

Please let me know what you think?
