I Live on a Dual Carriageway
Posted by: Spencer Stern on: August 31, 2007
What is a dual carriageway I hear you ask… it really doesn’t matter but if you must know its “a road divided by a central strip of land etc. with each side used by traffic moving in one direction”.
Anyway its the weekend again and I’m going out soon to meet, yes, another dual aka. “potential [...]
Courtship Is A Special Problem For Thinkers
Posted by: Spencer Stern on: August 28, 2007
It is true to say that finding your perfect life-long partner can and might be a special problem for any one of the social types although I’m biasing this towards thinkers and day-dreamers.
The Reinin dichotomy that identifies the division between subjectivists and objectivists would highlight a key difference in how people go about ‘the [...]

Posted by: Spencer Stern on: August 24, 2007
As I break for the weekend I thought I would leave you with a short trailer to a longer 10 minute film parody of The Secret.

Here’s a run-down of the types I think that have been ridiculed in this video including my own [...]
Correspondence of Personality Disorders with Social Type
Posted by: Spencer Stern on: August 21, 2007
One of the most exciting things I like to research at the moment involves the relating of Psychiatric personality disorders with Psychological social types.
For example, we’ve already had a post about a sociopathic ISTj I had a short history with and as an INTj I can admit to having schizoid-like qualities specifically my tendency towards [...]
Socionics vs. Myers-Briggs Temperament Instrument (round one)
Posted by: Spencer Stern on: August 21, 2007
They both had common roots…
It all began with Carl Jung’s groundbreaking work Psychological Types from the 1920’s. He is most famous for proposing his classic ‘two types of person’ in society, the idea of introverts and extraverts (originally spelt by Jung with an ‘a’).
As already presented on the Social Attitudes page Jung defined many rational [...]
Every relationship appears different to the untrained eye
Posted by: Spencer Stern on: August 21, 2007
From the Socionic perspective every relationship you observe can be examined closely and matched with principles that have been previously identified.
For example, last night at my ‘business meeting’ I noticed two guys who blatantly shared a ‘relation of benefit’ where ‘the (ISTj) beneficiary’ was always offering advice to the weak unconscious area of ‘the (ISFp) [...]
“To be ignorant of one’s ignorance is the malady of the ignorant.”
Posted by: Spencer Stern on: August 21, 2007
I’m having a late night reflection session as I sit up in bed with my laptop. A different style of post therefore. I was just thinking about the danger of society not being aware of Socionics.
I regularly observe and notice social types, relations and groups all around me.
For example, having gone to a business style [...]
Clubs, Religion and Politics (part one)
Posted by: Spencer Stern on: August 20, 2007
Socionic clubs are very similar to the four temperaments that have been revised over the centuries. In this study I wish to relate two out of four clubs incorporating my views on social-political systems and religion.
The other two clubs don’t correspond with the four temperaments unless we subdivide them to match up thus I will [...]
The Quadra-Club Correlation
Posted by: Spencer Stern on: August 20, 2007
The Alpha and Gamma quadras are a mix of Researcher (NT) and Socialite (SF) clubs.
–> <–
The Beta and Delta quadras are a mix of Humanitarian (NF) and Pragmatist (ST) clubs.
–> <–
This raises four questions as follows:
1. What is the difference between Alpha Researchers (NT’s) and Gamma Researchers (NT’s)?
From a [...]
