Static/Dynamic in Humanitarian Socionics

Static/Dynamic as I use it:

Static in the most general sense means orientation to space (stationarity), and Dynamic means orientation to time (temporality).

At the intellectual level, static thinking is discrete and fragmented, and the various parts do not mix. It consists in rigid semantic connections, such as what is stored in the memory cell of a computer. For memorization, it is helpful for statics to fix the material on paper or some other tangible medium. Statics create better clear schemes or designs with minimal change. Dynamic thinking is continuous, a holistic image with moving boundaries. Dynamics have better associative memory, combinations of two concepts with a conditional temporal connection. One concept, appearing, immediately causes the other in consciousness. Dynamics create better models which convey changes, or design projects that remind people of their personal experience.

At the social level, static corresponds to the division into classes, niches or specializations. This specialization leads to stability but conservatism; rapid changes cannot be easily implemented. Dynamics corresponds to diversification of resources, which makes the group much more unstable and sensitive to outside interference. It is a more holistic group where one thing affects many other things, not as autonomous and specialized. However, it can better endure supply interruptions and change of values.

At the psychological level, static corresponds to a balanced nervous system. This means that the mood is difficult to raise or to spoil. Dynamic corresponds to an unbalanced nervous system, where one thought alone quickly carries away into a chain of associations. This can lead to rapid improvement or deterioration of mood, for reasons that seem very small from an outside observer.

At the physical level, statics only tend to change the aspects of their physical setting for a specific reason rather than just because they are bored. They are more stable in parameters such as body weight, temperature, blood pressure, sweating: these fluctuate more slowly and within smaller limits than dynamic types. Dynamic types, on the other hand, can change their wardrobe, housing interior, arrangement of furniture in the apartment just for the sake of diversity or boredom. Their body weight, temperature, blood pressure, etc. are less stable and fluctuate more widely.

If you want, we can later consider how this applies specifically to functions, temperaments, club dyads, types, etc. Examples can help add clarity and groundedness.

  1. Yes, please, this would be interesting to look at at different levels. I am assuming that you have not already done so, which might be wrong of course. I could have missed another post, as I am exploring the blog in a rather haphazard fashion.
