I was thinking lately about why certain pairs of functions are positivist or negativist. For example, TeNe, FeSe, TiSi and FiNi are positivist, whereas TeSe, FeNe, TiNi and FiSi are negativist. I think there is a simple enough explanation as to why: TeNe: This is fundamentally about the future, about working towards a future idea or purpose that is not yet actualized. This is inherently convergent and thus positivist because we are trying to get closer to bringing this idea into existence. FeSe: This is about the present moment involvement, responding based on our sensations and emotions in the present. It is positivist because present moment consciousness is undivided and also merges us with our environment. TiSi: This is about normalization, in other words maintaining or reaching some stable order. It is convergent because major deviations from this order are rejected and because it is trying to reach a point of overall stability and completion. For the logic to be embodied the...

How would you prefer to make the most of an uncertain future? -Gamma: Be wary of unwanted surprises and take action to protect against them. Plan so that you know what to do should things go badly and build a strategy for success. Trust your instincts, do what feels right and think critically. What would be your preferred approach to people and how to relate to them? -Gamma: I engage in frank, good-natured conversation with others to get an instinct about people and whether we can make the right relationship for my goals. I don’t like over-friendliness and I feel that I can judge people if I don’t like what I see. What sort of environment would you most prefer to spend time in? -Gamma: Somewhere I can exercise some control over, where I know and trust people to respect my privacy and autonomy. A place where I can achieve things for myself, but in helping myself also help those I care about. How do you most prefer to gain greater knowledge or understanding? -Alpha: ...
