LII by Serge Shaneri

(machinetranslated)

Ego block

It's the most important aspect of Subject’s personality.
This is a block of the thinking program.
Ego block is formed by the first two functions: Leading Function (its ideas contain a result of Ego block) and Communicative Function (a tool to implement Leading Function ideas).

For LII, it's thinking and intuition. They quickly capture potential opportunities, come up with ideas and use them to structure information, or generally just come up with new structures, rationalize. LIIs often have the talent of an inventor, an order-designer.

Leading function

Leading function creates an image of the world.
It contains the major potential of a type.
Each type imagines and understands the world in accordance with the topic of this function.
More often a Subject comes up with ideas on the topic of this function.
(Topic of each function will be specified in braces)

(Ti - Introverted logic - structure, causes, space)

For LII it is thinking. LII presents the world in terms of structures, cause-and-effect relationships, and orderly organized space. First of all, they pay attention not to the objects themselves, but to their relative position (one might say, to the space in which they are located). Also, this function in LII is engaged in the accumulation of information, which, in his opinion, is full of potential opportunities and promising. Since LIIs understand the world in terms of cause and effect, they talk about it. Almost every suggestion LII makes is some kind of rational proposition. They are constantly comaring, analyzing and ordering something. Well understood in technology and formal structures (mathematics, computer science, programming, etc.). Their understanding of the structure of the world, being the dominant part of the psyche, is usually changed inertly and with difficulty, not that they learn with difficulty, just not quickly (but thoroughly), and it is difficult to convince them, they are stubborn.


Creative function

A Subject is guided in the world by their creative function. Its topic is what they think and talk about.
This function executes a type's program.
It's very flexible and easily triggered. Its topic is usually discussed with delight.
(Ne - Extroverted Intuition - potential, idea, possibilities)

For LII, this is a topic of potentiality. Robes are quickly involved in the understanding of abstract ideas, they easily figure out the scenarios for the development of events. It is typical for them to evaluate the probability of the realization of certain events. Intuitive perception predisposes to abstract thinking, a tendency to generalize. If Rob wants to motivate someone, he talks about potential opportunities and perspectives. His ideas are aimed at the rational structuring of space, inventing structures and schemes.




Super-ego block

Super-ego serves for socialization.
It contains weak functions which a Subject needs to develop.

LII wants to positively influence relations (or globally - the system of relations) through his activities, possibly making them fairer. They show negative attitude to the manipulation of relationships aimed at achieving their own goals.

Role function

This topic causes Subject's stress. A Subject mobilizes whenever they have to interact with the topic of Role function.

(Fi - Introverted Ethics - relationships, priority, subjective distance)

For LII, this is a theme of relationships and morality. Hence the manipulation of relationships is perceived by LII as pressure. In a tense situation, LII will try to rationally use ethics (such as appealing to morality) and priority issues in order to adapt and resolve the problem. It can also manifest itself in the fact that they can simply distance themselves (a kind of relationship manipulation) in order to solve the problem.

Vulnerable function

The most important topic. If a Subject is not good at this, they won't feel good at all. Each person has their own upbringing in this function. It's important if a person's behavior on this topic corresponds to the idea of what is right or wrong which they and their inner circle have.


(Se - Extroverted Sensing - load, adaptation, volitional interaction)

For LII this function processes the aspect with meaning of volitional influence and tangible reality. Hence it is very important for LII that there is no unnecessary pressure, and that he does not have to think about this topic again. It is important that their space is respected and that they are not forced to do anything. LII believes that pressure is necessary only in special situations (moreover, each LII thinks in his own way what a special situation is). They critically tolerate negative assessments of his volitional qualities, also if these are his own assessments.

Super-Id block

Super-Id is a child-like block according to which a person demands or expects something from the world.
This block estimates if TIM's environment is acceptable enough.
This is a block of rational egoism, anti-conscience.

LII expects from the world people who know how to have fun. Waiting for ideas on the topic of spending time with pleasure, raising the standard of living.

Suggestive function

The most pleasant topic. А subject subconsciously expects information on the topic of Suggestive function. It's not easy for a person to pay much attention to it by themselves. It feels nice when someone helps with it.


(Fe - Extroverted ethics - emotions, state)

For LII, the resource is emotions. They are constantly waiting for emotional support and the imposition of a positive (comfortable) emotional background. LII perceives fun as something valuable, and generally likes to have fun, but for themselves, such information may not always be produced easily.

Activating function

It's the energy system of Psyche. Information on the topic of Activating function gets an emotional response in the subject's consciousness. Constant support on the topic powers up a Subject. A Subject gets de-energized if conditions on this topic are unsatisfactory.

(Si - Introverted Sensing - balance, harmony, comfort, compatibility, quality)


Information on the following topics will inspire LII, emotional upsurge: well-being, convenience, harmony, balance, beauty, compatibility, relevance, need, consumer qualities, resource, care, addition, aesthetics, health, hygiene, feeling, form , support, nourishment, pleasantness, comfort. Caring for LII cheers him up, while they themselves love (with the proper level of development) to take care of people in order to cheer them up. In general, LII needs support on these topics, it keeps them in an emotional tone.

Id Block

Id block is an implementing mental block through which the Subject helps others, provides time, work and product of their activity to society.

LII is an innovator by nature and strives to create prospects and a measured routine. To do this, he uses his thinking and accumulated information about methods and technologies.

Ignoring function
The most unconscious topic.
Positive information on this topic puts SEI into a creative mode, inspires them.
This function automatically switches on if others need help on its topic.

(Te - Extroverted Logic - technology, activity, efficiency, methods)


Demonstrative function

The Subject provides their product and work results through this function.
They can perform the work by themselves if necessary or give specific methodical advice that will lead to a productive result.
(Ni - Introverted Intuition - time, meaning, perspective, routine)

LII's ideas come in such (structural) ways to save time with the help of technologies and techniques. The information about productivity and activities puts LII into a work mode, inspired (not so much energetic as creative) state. LII also uses the meaning of this aspect in order to refuse people (for example: “no, there are too many frauds to do, I won’t” or “I won’t tell, there is a complicated technique”). In general, LII makes sure that unnecessary (meaningless) actions are not done, and often points out to people about this, even more often than himself.

LII's dichotomies and small groups characteristics:

Introvert. Their attention is directed to internal (implicit) objects. They do not like to spread themselves and prefer quality rather than quantity. SEI also expresses it in a great attention to harmony and compatibility, which are the internal characteristics of objects.


Intuitive. They easily handle general ideas, prefer to generalize and think globally. They often speak vaguely (using common words even in a specific example). They are set to perceive information intuitively, so understanding for them is more important than sensing.

Farsighted. The careless (not “farsighted”) love everything in a new way, as it never happened before, while the farsighted ones rely on their experience. Thus, experience for them will be to some extent a goal, the achievement of which is already a value, since experience can be relied upon and used. Farsighted people also like to think ahead of everything, so that later there is a plan that you can rely on.

A Democrat. Democrats do not form an opinion about people (or events) that's based strictly on their association with any groups. It is important for them to note the difference, to highlight uniqueness. Democrats often use comparative degrees of adjectives and adverbs in their speech.

Negativist. SEI more easily notices missing details and sees a worst case scenario. Even if SEI is an optimist who is used to positive thinking, they will pay attention to negative details to fulfill their social role program. Also it is often expressed in intonation.

Obstinate. Obstinate, setting a goal, then with difficulty refuse it and will connect more and more resources to achieve it. With LII, this is also expressed in the fact that it is difficult to convince him if he thinks that something is arranged in a certain way. This can only be done with a powerful argument, because LII feels confident in this area.

Thinking. LII likes to talk structures and causes and reasons. They feel more confident expressing the results of their thoughts and not emotional evaluations.

Merry. For Merry types emotions is a more interesting and discussed topic than relationships. And structures are more interesting than methods. This means that they estimate relationships by emotional comfort level and if a person fits this criterion, they befriend them quickly. Mentally being Merry is expressed as a discussion of the world structure or its specific parts. It is important for Merry types to discuss causes and structures, because when you know how things work, you can always decide how to act. Merry types like to come up with new words to denote objects or events. They often have internal (e.g. within a group) terms. “Business before pleasure" usually is not about them.

Emotivist. Some types first pay attention to constructive element in communication, and others notice emotions in the first place. LIE's feeling is triggered faster than thinking, so first of all they pay attention to emotions when perceiving and sharing information. (even though Thinking is more confident faculty)

Result type. LII is focused on results. Coming up with a plan they think on how it should end in the first place. Remembering past events they evaluate them according to results they got.

Asking. Often uses interrogative intonations, likes to complicate the topic of conversation (if it does not contradict its other properties). Easy to interrupt, knows how to listen.


Judicious type. Judicious types discuss the value (harmony) of potential opportunities. The rule “measure twice, cut once" works well for Judicious types. Discussion stage is more important for them than action, because they choose an opportunity during discussion.
It is also important for them to maintain comfort. Judicious types are easily relaxed.

Strategic type. For strategic types setting goals is easier than coming up with tactical (short-term) solutions. Strategist's goals and needs are more steady.

Rational. Main information flow is aimed outward (thinking). That means that LIE is more focused on their judgments than on what they perceive from external environment. This is reflected in a need for planning.

Static. Represents the world in frames separated from each other. It can jump from one to another, that is, first talk about one situation (like describing a picture), then about another. Uses state verbs in speech (is, is, correlates ..).


Alpha Quadra. This is a group with childish values. The important things for them are to see potential opportunities and long shot prospects, to feel fun and comfort. They are interested in how everything works and can be organized.

Scientific Club of interests. Thinking and intuition together result in a predisposition to science, exploratory, inventive activity.
