An Overview of the Theory

History & Placement

Before there were cognitive types, there was Carl Gustav Jung, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who spent his entire life trying to understand the underlying mechanisms of human cognition and consciousness. He published his research in many parts and books, one of them being his famous book, „Psychological Types,“ released back in 1921, in which he discussed the possibility of categorising people into a number of archetypes and what constitutes them. Later on, in the coming decades, groups and people such as the Briggs Family, Ausra Augustinaviciute and many more would expand upon Jung’s admittedly incomplete theory through different lenses, in the forms of books and research that would later be used to build entire communities around them.

So many, in fact, that there would be, on average, two new schools of thought each year passing from the day Carl Jung published his original work back in 1921, about 5 on average each year if we start counting from the day the Briggs published their most popular work back in 1956. It goes without saying that the said amount of theories, while greatly appreciated in many ways, is in fact way more than any one person can be expected to read over, let alone understand. And it is also unfortunate that the community’s efforts just keep on dividing the community in the same pseudo-scientific pit that it finds itself in.

This great amount of attraction to Jung’s original work and its derivatives did not come for no reason. However, while the individual reasons may differ, ultimately everyone agrees that Jung had found a treasure with the way he decided to split the hairs of reality in order to understand the underlying mechanisms that run our cognition on a daily basis. Ultimately, the typology community has always held great potential for changing the course of all human lives and history, but it has always been held back by the many divisions that form from within it and the cracks found within theories that do not behold themselves to scientific protocols or methods. In that, the MTT finds its purpose in uniting the typology community at large into one great theory that takes every great element from every other theory to create one greater theory that is constantly improving through the infrastructures provided by the MTI to constantly research it in as many ways as possible in order to ensure that the MTT is truly the best.

Summary; Carl Gustav Jung, a psychiatrist, studied human cognition and consciousness, introducing the concept of psychological types in 1921. Subsequent researchers like the Briggs family expanded on his work, leading to numerous typological theories. The Typology community aims to unite these theories into a comprehensive model with the help of MTI through the MTT model, striving for a more cohesive and scientifically grounded approach.

In the graphic above we can see the development of Jungian Typologies over time, it starting with Jung’s original work then with a follow up from Katherine Briggs and it would not take too long for so many others authors to hop on board.

Framework & purpose

The Modern Type Theory (MTT) is a system that approaches cognition algorithmically from the perspective of evolutionary cognitive psychology and connectionism. It hopes to have a cohesive and accurate model that represents the functions of the human brain through modified Jungian faculties in an electro-like circuit model. This model represents the individual colours of cognition through an analysis, dissection, and mix of the primary colour provided by Carl G. Jung and improved upon by various typological teams. These teams include but are not limited to Dave and Shan from OPS, the various authors of Socionics, the various authors of the MBTI system and its sub-schools and more.

The MTT and MTI aim to achieve these goals by ensuring that the MTT remains open source and institutionally backed to ensure that it has all the resources it needs to become a perpetually growing community, sustained theory, and practice that is ever more scientific than any of the other theories that came before it, so that it can be a beacon of truth for the community at large.

Quote “The typological community has always held immense potential for knowledge and the betterment of the world. However, it has consistently failed to reach its full potential due to various unclear reasons. At MTT, we believe that we have identified many of the factors that held the community back from reaching its metamorphosis, and we are committed to being the driving force behind change.

The MTI aims to achieve these goals by aggregating efforts in researching the truth of value of other typology systems and synthesizing their functional elements into one greater cohesive model that being the MTT.

Quote “The Modern Type Theory is a typological theory based on the works of C.G Jung as well as other derivatives such Aušra Augustinacvičiūtė, Dave & Shan Powers and many others. It specifically orients itself on a modified cognitive model that would be best described as a mixture of Evolutionary Cognitive Psychology and Connectionism, it proposes that everyone has a type and that types represent functional dynamics that evolved to fit and answer for tribal and evolutionary needs, It attempts to explain it through the use of the Jungian Functions as information and energy processing units.“

And it goes without saying that the MTT has not only been built on the backs of giants in terms of the typology community from greats like the Briggs, John Beebe, Linda Berens, Gulenko, Ausra and more but also on the backs of giants from other fields such as C.R. Darwin, Michael Faraday, Luigi Galvani and more as will be illustrated by the following figure below:

Summary; The Modern Type Theory (MTT) is a cognitive system integrating evolutionary psychology and connectionism to model human brain functions based on Jungian faculties. It aims to be open-source, institutionally supported, and scientifically advanced. MTT seeks to unify typology systems, like MBTI and Socionics, into a cohesive model. The MTI initiative combines research efforts to synthesize typology elements into MTT.

A Basis For The Theory

Evolutionary Specialization Theory

The Modern Type Theory is a theory that bases itself upon a hypothesis built by its founders, which is named the Evolutionary Specialisation Theory or EST for short. It suggests that types came about due to evolutionary needs which could not be met by singular individuals due to the finite nature of their capacity. This required that individuals would cognitively specialise in order to tackle the various needs of their groups and have their needs met as well. This is due to, as mentioned prior, a finite capacity of the human brain, but also due to time constraints posed by short lifespans and the social nature of humans. In that way, the theory suggests that the types represent different systems of allocating the human capacity or energy, and that typology is the study of the systematic way in which mental energy is allocated.

Quote “ In essence, human biology evolved to allocate mental energy through different types, each offering distinct competencies. This can also be seen on an individual level, aligning with mainstream biological views that types represent survival strategies arising from energy limitations. Quote “

Quote “The theory stems from the idea that due to cognitive limitations imposed by the need for survival, the human brain has not evolved to be able to make all possible observations and make decisions from all possible points of references. But rather that it has specialized in some capacity in its tribal nature, that caused imbalances due to the specialization and the contradictory nature of psychological reality but also left the space for balance.”

And in despite of the hypothetical having a foundationally intuitive background it does not go without basis in mainstream biology, it finds resonance in foundational biology such as some of Charles R. Dariwn’s observations, particularly in the Descent of Man where Darwin hints at the advantage of the product of individual individuation within the tribe for survival and growth. As for instance when he noted „If one man in a tribe… invented a new snare or weapon, the tribe would increase in number, spread, and supplant other tribes.“, This goes along with broader biological theories including but not limited to: Group selection, Kin selection, Inclusive fitness, Multilevel selection theory, Reciprocal altruism and Mutualism.

Summary; The Evolutionary Specialization Theory (EST) proposes that types evolved due to cognitive specialization for survival needs in groups, stemming from human brain limitations and social constraints. It suggests that types represent different systems of allocating mental energy. This theory finds resonance in mainstream biology, supported by observations from Charles Darwin about individual innovation within tribes contributing to growth and survival.

The Tritype Pyramid

One of the most important things to mention when constructing a framework of cognition is a mention related to the various layers at which cognition operates, this recognition has been arrived at by various other individuals from the community such as Gulenko and Linda barrens but also us as well. The different typologists call it different things but we call it the “Tritype Pyramid”, and what it is is the three main levels of cognition and the ways it expresses it self. The three are known by three names starting with the Express self which is the highest level of cognition which is simply whatever you decide to display to the world which may speak of your innate cognition or your learned styles of cognition and or neither of them, followed then by the level under it which is the Codified self which represents everything the you learn and the style or styles of cognition you learn to emulate which is still tied to the innate cognition but entirely so to allow for a level of dynamic cognition not limited by the evolutionary tendencies. Finally there is the lowest level representing the most innate level cognition that being the Process self which is the fixed evolutionary level of cognition that is extremely hard to change on any level and nearing on impossible. That precise level is what most of what type tries to explore, not so much the dynamic elements that change on a day to day basis but what the underlying framework and structure that lies under all of them is which is represented through the systems that are known as Types.

Summary; The „Tritype Pyramid“ framework discusses the three levels of cognition: the Express self, representing what you show the world; the Codified self, reflecting learned cognitive styles; and the Process self, representing innate cognition that is hard to change. This framework aims to explore the underlying structure of cognition beyond dynamic elements.

This Figure above says that the self is a mix of inborn nature („process self“) and learned experience („express self“ & „codified self“). That human core nature shows most in new situations, while experience shapes how one adapt and express the self.

The Information Theory

The Plane

The first fundamental premise of MTT and for Jungian theories in general is that cognition is a metaphor for the inner plane of information, and that metaphor itself can be represented through what we know as colours. Cognition is a light spectrum of colours, and all intermix and create variations of their primary colours. For the naked eye, it just looks like a plane of information akin to a canvas with a bunch of colours just thrown around with no rhyme or reason and a seemingly infinite amount of colours with no overarching theme or limit.

But a typologist’s eyes, much like the eyes of an artist, see beyond the seeming chaos into the inner structure and beauty of the canvas, and see the individual primary colours that make the painting come to life. They do not see it as a black box that cannot be understood and just produces results that are beyond comprehension. But a delicate systematic approach, all priming from basic elements, grows in complexity over time to produce the final result which can be a complex or simple work of art, but ultimately arrives from the same basic colours and paintbrush.

So, the other part of the premise is that we are able to partition the spectrum of light into the different primary colours, which we can use to reverse engineer the complex paintings that our brain is capable of producing. By doing this, we are able to break down any complex thoughts into their smaller primary elements which make them up, to understand the underlying structure behind thoughts which have a seemingly infinite complexity when, in reality, they do not. They are just more complex mixes of the same primary colours at the end of the day.

Summary; The first premise of MTT and Jungian theories suggests cognition is metaphorically represented by colours, forming a spectrum. Typologists and artists can see beyond chaos, understanding the structure and beauty of the canvas as a systematic approach from basic elements to complex results. By partitioning the light spectrum into primary colours, complex thoughts can be broken down into smaller elements for better understanding, revealing their underlying structure.

Speed / Energy

Now that we know of the plane of information representing space, we can add another dimension in play which would represent time, an essential element when constructing the metaphysics of anything, some would argue as much as the most essential element in any form of metaphysics. As for the reason for why such a dimension would be needed in a typology, it will become clearer as we move forward in the theory book but to quickly introduce it, we can say that not only are there electrons in the brain which when combined with the chemical processes and the means which are the neurons produce information of different kinds, but that such information travels through the brain and converts into other forms which all not only takes place in space but in time as well. We will represent said movement and speed by either the willingness to go faster or the willingness to go slower i.e. Accelerative and Decelerative, where elements that are accelerative accumulate momentum and move faster and the decelerative ones will act in the opposite manner.

Capacity Management

Base Laws

Following the established principles by the EST section of the theory book, we can establish a few rules around the mental energy management laws, which will be referred to as capacity, so as not to confuse with energy as a synonym for change of momentum. The first of these will be that there exists no equilibrium of capacity as that would break the specialisation law established by the EST. The second will be that capacity management happens in categories and the hierarchy of categories is determined by the ratio of imbalance. That is to say, the energy division cannot be done from element a from group a, such that group b will be the benefactor. Analogously, you can’t lower your video resolution to get better audio as they operate on different planes — an imperfect analogy. The other part of that is that if group a has a ratio where element a is 80 to b’s 20, while group b has a ratio of a’s 60 to b’s 40, group a would be higher up due to the more extreme ratio. The third and last is that elements within subgroups are often ordered based on their individual size within the main group. So, if a and b were to be subgroups of delta, the individual elements within groups a and b would be ordered based on their individual sizes.

Jungian Faculties

Introductory metaphor

The Jungian faculties split the hairs of reality akin to splitting the layers and tones of a picture, then split it again into the individual colours to see how they differ, then to see what the primary colours are. Then we can reverse engineer the picture by mixing the colours together again according to an algorithm, by which we can then apply the same principle over and over again to all pictures because they all come from the same primary colours in spite of the seemingly unique mix. The elements will be the representation of the primary colours from which we can build everything that is cognitive, from which we can explain all behaviour.

The elements through colours

Processing Units

Most of MTT, including the elements, will be revolving around one main core idea, which is that of processing units, their interactions and the framework around them. Processing units represent the various processing drivers of the brain in the kind of information and energy they deal with, and the intricacies of said interactions. They cover the range of cognition and the difference in it, and a lot more, so that MTT takes a semi-connectionist approach to constructing a framework around cognition. It works on the axiom that the brain functions a lot like an electrical framework, akin to the work that has been done in similar fields, such as in the case of the Hodgkin Huxley model.

Figure 9. https://www.canva.com/design/DAF7DeXLH8I/JooGI8TKLsCodm8qo67QHg/edit

The Circuit

The First Dichotomy

• The first dichotomy is that of the agent and its perception of the world; it is the dichotomy between the drivers of decision making and that of observation. Simply put, in MTT, the first dichotomy is that between the processes responsible for observation, data intake, and output versus the processes responsible for judgement and decision making. Also, the dichotomy known as deciding v. observing, as the elements mentioned earlier, will be distinguished through the fact that they are responsible for observations or decisions, which is also synonymous with judgement v. perception.

Figure 10. https://www.canva.com/design/DAF7DT9qWs8/69ItKxfn3LREvu9akZCMJg/edit

The distinction between the agent and its observations

Decisions

• The first thing we want to start talking about is the decision-oriented processes. These are processes directly responsible for managing identities, meaning the creation, perception, and management of self and others. But most importantly, this all plays into making decisions or the judgement calls, ultimately so that you can say that something is functionally the right thing to do or that something feels like the right thing to do. What matters is the decision ultimately, and any decision requires a driver. The drivers are the so-called decider functions, but before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s describe the axis of decision and the elements within it.
• Feelings or values are one of the two main ways of arriving at a decision. It is one of the abstract mechanisms as it cannot be quite explained explicitly, but it revolves all around the value orientation of something so that the right decision is one that is based on the values of the individual and the individuals around them. The other way of arriving at a decision, however, is thinking or function and as the name implies, it is all about the functionality of the decision. So instead of thinking of the emotional impact of the decision relative to a set of values, it is all about the functional impact on what does or does not work.
• Figure 11. https://www.canva.com/design/DAF7DmDoOAU/6m0PBJ4NDmoQoCjIXsfk2g/edit?utm_content=DAF7DmDoOAU&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

Decision Elements Symbolized

Observations

• Observations are all about the perception of objects in relation to each other. They are the processes responsible for the quantification and intake as well as output of things or objects. They are also responsible for the perception of systems, time and space. They play a vital role in everything as they constitute the data and patterns in terms of intake and output. Not only do they play a vital role relative to each other, they also play a vital role relative to the decision-making process, as without things to cast judgement upon, it cannot be done. They are also directly related to the perception of order and chaos as well as perpetrators of either. The underlying position behind observation will always be that of information relative to objects, so that any issues of the world, whether they be systematic, time or space related, will be observation issues.
• Sensing, the explicit and concrete way of perceiving the world, is all about sensory data, the simple „what can I see, taste, touch“ and so on. Sensing makes up the perception of literal things, while on the other hand, we have the second way of perceiving the world, which is through intuition. Intuition perceives the implicit world; it is responsible for the perception of patterns or for seeing between the lines. While sensing is there, intuition is kind of there as well, as you can see the patterns or pattern emerge, but more mentally than in reality.

Artistic expression of change in objects

Anti Category

• In each of the dichotomies, there exists an anti-pair which moves against the category, so that if the category is identities, it tries to not be identity-related and if it is objects, it tries to not be object-related. This fact may make it difficult for individuals from other schools of thought to comprehend why the categories are applied. We can see this in the case of thinking, for example, where it tries to be objective and disconnected from identity even though it is based on identity and in intuition where it is all about what isn’t in the object. Therefore, it tries to make itself appear beyond the object even though the patterns ultimately emerge from the objects themselves.

Artistic expression of negative space

Axes

• Due to the dichotomous nature of the elements in each category, we can create axes out of them so that we would have the T-F axis and the N-S axis. By further asserting that each individual is dominant in one of each of the elements as supported by the base laws, we can start creating a base typology through creating the types based on the dominance of the elements. Consequently, we would have [TN, NT, FN, NF, TS, ST, FS, SF] types. By further asserting the laws established in the base laws section, we can arrive at the base types, which would be [TNSF, NTFS, FNST, NFTS, TSNF, STFN, FSNT, SFTN].
• In this, we know that each type has both axes and that they are dominant in one element of each. This would create types that are dominant in function, inferior in values, with a secondary dominance in patterns and a secondary inferiority in sensing. Alternatively, there could be types that are dominant in values, inferior in function, with a secondary dominance in sensing and a secondary inferiority in patterns, as well as everything in between.
• The T-F axis is an axis of decision, so it is called the deciding axis. Likewise, N-S is an observing axis, so it is called the observing axis. Those who lead with a deciding axis are known as deciders, and those who lead with the observing axis are known as observers.
• Quote “First we will start with the basic dichotomies with a better or worse option for each, so that we have T>/<F and N>/<S. This would start a basic typology where individuals can be either ST,NT,NF or SF and if we say that the order matters we can have all the prior ones + TS, TN, FN and FS and now if we were to argue that everyone has everything but under the pre established dichotomy rules we get: TNSF;TSNF;FNST;FSNT;SFTN;STFN;NFTS;NTFS.”

The Faculties Compass

Dimensions

Qualitative v. Quantitative

• While the Jungian faculties represent the primary colours, most systems do not stop there. Most systems, in fact, similar to display technologies, require another dimension in order to allow for lighter and darker tones of each of the colours. This will be represented through the legacy terms of introverted and extroverted, or as known in MTT as qualitative and quantitative. By multiplying the faculties by two due to there being a qualitative and quantitative version of each, we get the famous 8 cognitive functions.
• The qualitative or quantitative orientation will take a different form depending on whether the element is a deciding or observing element. In terms of the observing elements, it is in terms of the quantity of the elements relative to their quality as opposed to the deciding elements where it is the quantity of agents relative to the agent. By adding a faculty with an orientation, we get a cognitive function.
• Quote “The main difference that will be declared between the quantitative [referred to as extroverted due to the simplicity of tradition] and the qualitative [referred to as introverted for the same reason] functions is exactly that, the fact that some will be seeking quality as their end while others will be seeking quantity as their end. The Quantitative and the Qualitative ends take on different forms depending on what kind of function it is, as will be elaborated on later by the human needs section. As we see here, this yields 8 cognitive functions which will be referred to by the first letter of the function’s end and by the first letter of its introverted or extroverted orientation so that we would have things such as Ti, Te, Fi, Fe, Si, Se, Ni, Ne. In general, the big distinction is that the quantitative wants to create more of while the qualitative wants to create better of. This may be later revised by the charges if they are ever added to MTT.”
• Figure 15. https://www.canva.com/design/DAF7HmwxQgU/Ux6lpotlKSRJO7i-rCs0Zg/edit

Introverted Thinking (Ti) thrives on internal logic, analysing information for personal understanding. Extroverted Thinking (Te) takes a more objective approach, applying logic to the external world and seeking solutions that work for everyone. When making decisions, some prioritize their internal compass. Introverted Feeling (Fi) follows personal values and principles, while Introverted Intuition (Ni) relies on gut feelings and hunches about future possibilities based on past experiences. Some people find external factors more influential. Extroverted Feeling (Fe) considers social values and what’s important to the group, while Extroverted Intuition (Ne) gathers information and explores various possibilities from the outside world. Our perception of the world also hinges on how we take in data. Introverted Sensing (Si) focuses on the structure of data and past experiences, while Extroverted Sensing (Se) immerses itself in the external world, taking in sights, sounds, and sensations to perceive what’s happening right now.

Qualities

• As seen in the figure above and as implied in other sections of the theory book, there is another dimension to the qualitative and quantitative dimension itself, which is that of the qualities seen between each of the elements with the same orientation within their respective groups. So, Ti and Fi would share a quality, Te and Fe would share a quality and so on. This originally comes from the human needs section of Objective Personality, but it has been modified quite a bit since being added to MTT.
• It adds another dimension to it by highlighting the mechanism by which the faculty arrives at its orientation. So, for example, the way the Introverted Deciding [Di] functions arrive at their orientation is through the focus on the self, which is innately qualitative relative to the quantitative agents. Once again, the same happens with the observing extroverted [Oe], for example, where the many objects are quantitative relative to the singular object orientation of the introverted observing [Oi] functions, which is rather qualitative.
• To further define the qualities, we can start with Introverted Deciding elements, or Di, which are based on the agent’s focus on itself. Thus, Di is all about the self, as opposed to Extroverted Deciding elements, De, which are all about the other agents. On the other hand, we have the Extroverted Observing elements, which are all about gathering more objects, as opposed to the Introverted Observing elements, which are all about synthesizing them into as high a quality object or object structure as they can.

The Qualities Visualized

Acceleration

• The vast majority of theories stop at eight cognitive functions, with a few teasing the idea of more, and even fewer actually formalising such an idea. Examples include various socionics models such as Model-G, Model-B, and to a greater extent, Model-L. Such models do this by introducing the concepts of charges and information loss, but in MTT the way we arrive at it is through a second dichotomy. A dichotomy that is less about information and more about energy, less about space and more about speed. This dichotomy is acceleration versus deceleration, or in other words, going faster or slower.
• Just like how the information elements deal with information by gathering more of it, organising it, and so on, the energy elements deal with energy by accelerating it or decelerating it. They will be of the same faculties as the information elements and they can function at certain states at certain times, but they are usually considered functions of their own, especially within the block stack. Simply put, there are accelerative forms of the faculties that are concerned with expending more energy into the faculty and accelerating its functions, and there are those that are more concerned with decelerating its functions to slow everything down.
• The importance of this dimension to the functions is not only to formally introduce the concept of energy to an information theory but also to act as an explanation for perceived introversion and extroversion, as „extroverts generally want to expend more energy and go faster while introverts expend less energy.“ Most theories have abandoned the notion of the ‚I‘ or ‚E‘ in the letter name denoting social introversion or extroversion, yet they have not introduced a formal mechanism to explain it, which ends up causing a lot of problems in their typing processes.
• Quote “Decelerative and Accelerative elements are energy elements, as opposed to quantitative and the qualitative elements which are information elements. While there is something called a transformation process in which energy elements and information elements switch their roles, Accelerative and Decelerative elements are generally referred to as energy elements.”
• Quote “ the Accelerative functions are focused on faster accelerating the processing which allows for higher output lower quality and excitability , the Decelerative functions focus on decelerating the processes which leads to higher quality lower output and composure. The 8 energy functions are directly correlated to the OPS animals, which are renamed to the fblocks in MTT.”

Acceleration v. Deceleration Visualized

New Functions

As we can infer from the previous section, there are new functions which are created due to the dimension of energy. In this section, we will explore what that means and what the new functions do. We can start off with the decelerative ones. The decelerative functions, as the name would imply, are all about slowing things down to rather get a better look or judgment at whatever we are working with. Decelerative functions are functions like iT, which is about slowing down thoughts or functional judgment, iF, which is slowing down emotions or emotional judgment, iS, which is about slowing down sensory perception, and finally iN, which is slowing down pattern perception. Decelerative functions allow you to make generally better judgments in a slower fashion with a lower quantity. On the other hand, however, we have the accelerative functions which we will get into now.

The accelerative functions rather favour an approach of ‚the faster the better‘. They accelerate things, allowing you to deal with multiple decisions or observations at a time when that is required. While it might be great for building a house as you want to approach it delicately and the quality of each decision makes the difference, there are other scenarios such as a combat field where every second and quick decision makes the difference between life and death. Examples of accelerative functions are eT, which is about accelerating thoughts or functional judgement, eF, which is about accelerating emotions or emotional judgement, eS, which is about accelerating sensory perception and finally eN, which is about accelerating pattern perception.

Summary; The section discusses decelerative and accelerative functions based on energy dimensions. Decelerative functions slow down processes like thoughts, emotions, sensory perception, and pattern perception for better judgment. Accelerative functions speed up processes to handle multiple decisions or observations efficiently, crucial in scenarios like combat where quick decisions are vital for survival.

iT carefully analyses problems to achieve a deep, logical understanding. eT accelerates logical reasoning for faster decision-making. iF) takes time to analyse values. eF intensifies emotional reactions, influencing quick value-based decisions and heightened sensitivity. iN processes information intuitively more deepy to grasp underlying patterns. eN generates rapid insights and connections, emphasizing possibilities over detailed analysis. iS meticulously and slowly examines details and sensory information for a comprehensive understanding. Extroverted Sensing eS quickly absorbs broad sensory input, focusing on immediate experiences.

Stacks

Stacks are essentially the holy grail of any Jungian typology; they represent a percentage of all the structures found within any Jungian typology. To quickly define stacks, we can describe them as simply as a comparative structure of elements, of which there are usually two kinds: the dichotomous and the relativist. The more known stacks are usually dichotomous, in which we have dichotomies such as T vs. F and S vs. N, which give us structures such as STFN. In such structures, the important factors are that there are always groups, being the dichotomies, and that the groups have bigger and smaller elements within them but are also bigger and smaller relative to other groups, so that SN is bigger than TF as a group, but that S is bigger than N, and that T is bigger than F.

The other kind of stack, which is rather simpler but also less common, is the relativist stack in which each element is compared relative to each other element. We can see this, for example, in the DCNH stack in which D might be, for example, >N,C,H, which would make it the first or most dominant element. Then we can continue this on until we have a full DCNH stack.

Summary; Stacks in Jungian typology are essential structures representing a percentage of all typologies. They come in two types: dichotomous and relativist. Dichotomous stacks include elements like T vs. F and S vs. N, creating structures like STFN. Relativist stacks compare each element to the others, as seen in DCNH stacks where elements are ranked relative to each other.

Visual Representation of the Stacks

Cores

One core principle that is very important to understand about MTT is that there will always only be four fundamental core process ends, those being function, value, data, and patterns. There will be a great number of ways to arrive at said ends through the functions‘ modulations into qualitative, quantitative, accelerative, decelerative, or even other ways including the manipulation of said functions through hormonal compositions and through other methods, but despite all the mentioned, these are all ultimately modifying the four essential Jungian Faculties which represent the core of the Modern Type Theory as they do any reasonable Jungian Theory.

One way this has been attempted to be visualised in previous MTT versions is through the concept of cores, a concept in which each faculty represents a core which can transform and be modulated into its different four forms, the reason why that idea is very important is because it sets MTT as a unique theory as it does not have a static number of functions which dynamics are based off such as four, eight or sixteen function models but rather it is a dynamic four faculty model that is equivalent to a sixteen function model in terms of descriptive ability but also to a four function model in terms of mechanics.

Quote “Fundamentally this will imply that the MTT model is a singular chain model where all stacks will be made up of four dynamic elements, this might not however seem always clear such as in the case of blocks but it is the case as blocks represent running protocols and not a number of elements themselves.”

Summary; The core principle of Modern Type Theory (MTT) focuses on four fundamental core process ends: function, value, data, and patterns. These can be modulated in various ways, ultimately modifying the essential Jungian Faculties. MTT is unique with a dynamic four faculty model equivalent to both a sixteen function and four function model in terms of descriptive ability and mechanics.

Core Modulations

AGENT ARENA

AA [Also AAD] or Agent Arena is a dynamic rule found within some concepts of the theory, most notably of which is the F-Blocks. It simply states that some dynamics have a lead element, which is the agent, which acts upon the auxiliary element, which is the arena i.e. the canvas or platform that can be acted upon. This can help greatly distinguish how types similar in elements may be different in the way they go on using it, as some types may see the particular function as their own identity and the other as rather simply the tool. The AAD was inspired by some of the work around neurotypology and a further extrapolation of the OPS animal dynamics in terms of their directionality.

NT Inspired visual around the AAD

F-Blocks

Function Blocks or F-Blocks are one of the most intriguing concepts in MTT and are highly inspired by the OPS’s conception of Animals. They represent the combination of elements to further create compound processes, as long as they consist of one D and one O. In the case of MTT, there is directionality from A to B or B to A.

Function blocks work on many levels; on a higher level, they describe the interaction of different qualities such as the interaction of Di and Oe together as a process. But also on a lower level, in which they describe the interaction of T and N or even Ti and Ne, for example.

They are all about how the various elements express themselves through other elements and what process is created through their dynamic.

Quote “By adding up the common qualities found between two deciding functions of the same temperament with the common qualities found between two observing functions of the same temperament, we can see that functions operate in a dynamic manner in a way that allows simulating more functions through the combination of them.“

Much like the functions, the FBs also have a stack, which is known as the FB stack or animal stack. The legacy term ‚animal‘ is used interchangeably with FBs. The structure for it is largely provided by OPS, in which there will be 4 FBs in a stack denoted as 12/3[4]. The main rule is that you can’t have the dichotomous FB in 1 and 2, so no CB/BC/PS/SP. With that being the main rule established, we get 16 unique FB stacks, which are divided by 4 as there are 4 that start with each FB. That is an important distinction as the first FB, unlike the others, is determined by your type.

Summary; Function Blocks (F-Blocks) in MTT are inspired by OPS’s Animals concept, combining elements like D and O to create compound processes with directionality. They operate on various levels, describing interactions between different qualities and functions. FBs have a stack structure known as the FB stack or animal stack, following rules to create unique combinations for dynamic function simulation.

Visualisation of the Function Dynamics

Quality Blocks

F-Blocks, as mentioned above, are all about combining processes to create more processes. We can first start by describing how they work on a high level, which is on the level of qualities before the elements themselves. So, by combining the qualities of Di and Oe we get something called Consume, Oi and De gives us Blast, Oe and De gives us Play, and finally Di and Oi gives us Sleep.

„Consume,“ for example, is classically all about internalising new information into the agent. In MTT, due to the FBs not being commutative, that is to say, their order is relevant, we also get something called „reverse consume“ in which it is about expressing the internal through creating new information. „Consume“ is any Di+Oe and the classical is Oe to Di while the reversed is Di to Oe. On the other hand, however, we have „Blast.“ „Blast,“ however, is classically about expressing known information onto the tribe, that is classically described mostly as the process of teaching or enforcing, which we achieve by imposing Oi onto De. We can reverse it by imposing De onto Oi, in which it becomes much more of a politician’s process in which we impose the tribe upon the structure of known information.

The energy FBs are usually described in their transformed states, rather than in their energy states. For example, Sleep is classically all about the self reflecting on the known information, while the reverse variation is all about organising the self. We can get both respectively by imposing Di onto Oi and Oi onto Di. Finally, we can get Play by imposing Oe onto De by presenting new information to the tribe. We can reverse that by presenting the tribe to the change flow of information so that the process of creation would account for the tribe. The latter variation is De imposed onto Oe.

Summary; The F-Blocks combine qualities to create processes like Consume, Blast, Play, and Sleep. „Consume“ internalizes new information, while „Blast“ expresses known information. Energy FBs focus on transformed states: Sleep involves self-reflection, and Play presents new information to the tribe. Processes can be reversed by switching the order of qualities.

Quality FB Definitions

We can simply visualise the way FBs function through a four-way Venn diagram in which we have all the qualities and their intersection representing the FBs, and the clockwise or anti-clockwise movement representing the directionality of the FBs, such as in the figure below for example:

Beebian Structure

In MTT, there are three models divided into three sections: information, energy, and the mixed model. The most important, however, is the information model as derived by Dr. John Beebe and modified by the MTT team. This is a model that organises the informational elements into four blocks: the first block is the ego block and the second block is the shadow block. Together, they are referred to as the ego or conscious stack and the shadow stack. The structure starts by pairing the dominant function axis with the inferior function, then the auxiliary dominant with the auxiliary inferior. For the Ti Ne type, that would be Ti Fe and Ne Si. Together, they make up the ego stack of Ti Ne Si Fe. The shadow stack, being the polarised version of that, would be Te Ni Se Fi. This means the type is:

Table 1.

Ego	Ti	Ne	Si	Fe
Shadow	Te	Ni	Se	Fi

You can refer to each one of the informational elements through the numbers assigned to them:

Table 2.

1	2	3	4
5	6	7	8

The four blockings are all named and numbered so that the Ego block is that of the 1,2 functions, then the Sub-Conscious, which holds the 3,4 functions, with the Shadow block holding the 5,6 functions, finally followed by the Super Ego block with the 7,8 functions. These blockings and the stacking of the informational elements are very useful and will be used in other sections such as the energy model as well as the mixed model.

– Note that the Beebian structure itself is a modified version of the Grant Stack.

Energy Model

The energy model merely represents the isolated portion of the energy functions found within the greater mixed model or F-Blocks model, unlike the information model which functions through alternating IEIE/EIEI chains. The energy model is a directed alternation of IIEE/EEII. The energy model represents the Sleep and Play blocks, so that one stack could look like the following:

Table 3.

eN	eF	iT	iS
iN	iF	eT	eS

The point of the energy model is to show the difference between itself and the information model and ultimately how the two come together in the greater or F-Block model.

Greater Model

The Greater Model, also known as the F-Block model or in OPS as the Animal Stack, is essentially the combination of the informational model and the energy model to give the greater F-Block or Animal Stack, where the blocks of each intertwine to create a greater stack where each type uses 2 informational blocks and 2 energy blocks in their ego stack and the rest in their shadow stack (not to be confused with those of the information model). The main rules to be known about the mixed model is that it is an alternating model where information and energy blocks alternate (exception in the / spot) and that the type is defined through its first block. Ultimately these rules come together to create the following stacks:

Table 4.

CP/S[B]	BS/P[C]	PC/S[B]	SC/P[B]
CS/P[B]	BS/C[P]	PC/B[S]	SC/B[P]
CS/B[P]	BP/C[S]	PB/C[S]	SB/C[P]
CP/B[S]	BP/S[C]	PB/S[C]	SB/P[C]

These stacking rules imply 16 new types that lead with energy functions (not to forget transformations), making the total of base types 32, all of which can be found below. Note that writing only the first two functions is required to identify a type:

Table 5.

IP	EJ	IJ	EP
Ti Ne	Te Ni	Ni Te	Ne Ti
Ti Se	Te Si	Si Te	Se Ti
Ti Ni	Te Ne	Ni Fi	Ne Fe
Ti Si	Te Se	Si Fi	Se Fe
Fi Ne	Fe Ni	Ni Fe	Ne Fi
Fi Se	Fe Si	Si Fe	Se Fi
Fi Ni	Fe Ne	Ni Ti	Ne Te
Fi Si	Fe Se	Si Ti	Se Te

Function Slotting

Function slotting is all about the roles of different functions depending on their position within (usually) the information model stack, how that affects the energy dispersion, their role and more. To begin with, the general theoretical amount as suggested by the OPS team is a division of 80/20 between the dominant and inferior functions, then a 60/40 between the aux dominant and aux inferior representing the balance and imbalance aspect of each. Then for each, we can then divide said number in a 60/40 between the ego and shadow function so that if function 1 slot 1 had 100 energy points, it would actually end up having 60% and the other 40% would go to function 5 slot 5. Most importantly, however, is that one of the things this assumes is that half of the energy is split between the observing and the deciding functions ultimately. What makes the difference is the ratios, as implied by energy dispersion laws established earlier.

Quote “To understand this graph, we first divide mental energy in half: one half is for decision-making, while the other half is for observations. They are then divided again. The first and fifth elements receive 80% of the 50% allotted to their respective groups (D or O), with the remaining 20% of that half going to the fourth and eighth elements‘ faculties. The logic behind the rest should now be self-evident. This shows the the innate balance and imbalance in types.”

Summary; Function slotting involves assigning energy points to different functions based on their position in the information model stack. The OPS team suggests a division of 80/20 between dominant and inferior functions, and 60/40 between auxiliary dominant and auxiliary inferior functions. Energy points are further divided between ego and shadow functions. Half of the energy is allocated to observing functions and the other half to deciding functions. This division highlights the balance and imbalance within types.

The Energy Division Rules Visualized

Then the function slot roles, which are still being explored, are often affected by many external factors such as possible DCNH subtypes, FBS and more. Despite that fact, there are some generally known things about the function slots. One of them is that the 1, 4, 5, 8 functions are essentially the ego functions that represent the attitude and main quality of the person, as well as the opposite, which plays an integral role in the type. These functions tend to run on a singular level, like a switch on and off, where it seems like you can only have one of them at a time and not both. This naturally occurs due to the imbalance in capacity division. Obviously, the other side of that coin is that the other functions, those being the 2, 3, 6, 7 slots, are of less importance but also balanced due to that fact, and act as useful tools that the agent uses to their advantage.

Quote “The 1st function is known for being the core of the identity of the individual, that is their high horse of which everything else is built off, they overdose on this function like there is no tomorrow. The 2nd function is the the favourite tool of the type, whenever there is a problem this probably can fix it. The 3rd is usually of an interesting relationship where it is often neglected but can often be a high horse unjustifiably so at times, it is both neglected and loved in a contradictory bipolar manner. The 4th is the completion of the type, the type sometimes seeks it but usually hides away from it trying to avoid doing it, it is the major conscious weakness of the type. The 5th is the types technical 3rd or 2nd strongest element yet due to the temperamental issue the type often avoids and ignores doing it. The 6th function has been known for being unjustifiably overconfident, it has also been known to be an area that the types likes to manipulate, especially Fe 6th which have been known to play characters often. The 7th is the least cared for function, it sound suggestive but would be on the bottom of the priority list. Finally the 8th is of the same temperament of the 1st yet is highly incompetent, it is the easiest and most likely the only realistic way to solve the issues of the 4th function as progress in it will inevitably lead to progress with the 4th without having to deal with the issue of temperament. ”

The other generally known thing is that there are functions that are aspirational to the type, yet it is incompetent in them, ones that it is competent in but does not care about, and so on. All of these functions and their dynamics, as well as everything mentioned above, will be in the attached figure.

Summary; The function slot roles in personality types are influenced by factors like DCNH subtypes and FBS. Ego functions (1, 4, 5, 8) represent a person’s core identity, while other functions (2, 3, 6, 7) act as tools. Each function plays a specific role in the individual’s psyche. The 1st function is dominant, the 2nd is a favourite tool, the 3rd is neglected but valued, the 4th is a conscious weakness, the 5th is technical but avoided, the 6th is overconfident, the 7th is least cared for, and the 8th is incompetent but crucial for growth. These dynamics are illustrated in the figure provided.

All the known function slot rules and roles

Modulations

Modulations are a very important pillar of the theory as they act as definition extensions, usually definition extensions for the information elements. One example of such is the concept of modalities, which is what functions are fluid as opposed to which ones are rigid. It helps in understanding many different behaviours of a type such as why some subtypes feel the need to control the narrative and tribe (mDe) while some others are rather on the self-confident side (mDi).

• To talk more about the modalities (also sometimes referred to as function genders), they are a modulation of volition. Simply put, it further describes a function to be either a fixed, assertive, volition exertive element or a fluid, passive element. The former being masculine and the latter feminine, this can be found in typings written as FF, FM, MF, or MM depending on the modalities. The modalities work on an axis basis, so that if you have your 1st slot as masculine, for example, the 4th would be feminine.
• In OPS, modalities coding is written by the sensory then the Dec. As far as we know, it is utterly arbitrary and we decided to go by the general typology custom by placing the importance on the 1st or 2nd function. So, if you have mTi and mNi, you would be an MM and not an FF.
• The second thing we changed, but are not perfectly certain of, is the assignment of the modalities themselves. Another arbitrary move is to assign one to the faculties and one to the qualities. For the sake of consistency, we have placed both on qualities, and this matters hugely as we imply those on the 8 function model. So, if you have mTi, you have mFi, and if you have mNe, you have mSe.
• We have also abandoned the learning styles association as it is not only arbitrary, but also due to the fact that the learning styles themselves have less than shaky scientific standing at this point.
• Figure 26. https://www.canva.com/design/DAF9RvFDG0U/LAlAENZO0Q4r9gozEeHYrw/edit?utm_content=DAF9RvFDG0U&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

Modality Dynamics Visualized

Another very important modulation is that of the charges. Unlike in Socionics where charges are baked in within the definition of the type and decided arbitrarily based on a magic spinning wheel, in MTT any type can have any charge constellation as long as it is within the axes rules established in the modalities part. The charges in MTT also follow these rules. Charges are essentially function definition refiners that focus on whether the function is looking at positive space or negative space, and also on creating or destroying. So, for example, Fe+ is looking at what people like, Fe- is looking at what people hate. All function definitions alike can be found in the figure below:

All the charged IE definitions

Positive and Constructive Functions:

• Ti+ (Constructive Logic): Makes sense for applying logic in a way that’s helpful and works for you.
• Fi+ (Constructive Emotion): Represents positive self-values and things you find important.
• Te+ (Constructive Sense): Represents understanding how things generally work and what makes sense in the bigger picture.
• Fe+ (Constructive Sentiment): Represents positive social values and what’s generally considered good or liked.
• Se+ (Constructive Fact): Focuses on gathering and interpreting positive data points.
• Ne+ (Constructive Potential): Identifies positive possibilities and what could be.
• Si+ (Constructive Structure): Focuses on established structures and how things have worked in the past.
• Ni+ (Constructive Outcome): Envisions positive future outcomes and how things will develop.

Deconstructive and Negative Functions:

• Ti- (Deconstructive Logic): Represents identifying flaws in logic or what doesn’t make sense for you.
• Fi- (Deconstructive Emotion): Represents things you dislike or don’t value personally.
• Te- (Deconstructive Sense): Represents identifying flaws in how things generally work or what doesn’t make generally.
• Fe- (Deconstructive Sentiment): Represents negative social values or things generally disliked.
• Se- (Deconstructive Fact): Focuses on missing information, errors in data, or negative aspects of data.
• Ne- (Deconstructive Potential): Identifies limitations or what could go wrong.
• Si- (Deconstructive Structure): Focuses on how things haven’t worked in the past.
• Ni- (Deconstructive Outcome): Envisions negative future outcomes or what might not happen.

Channelling Modes

Channelling modes or chains in MTT is a concept and theoretical debate which revolves around the set of functions used, and in what mechanism or order the type arrives at its functions. There are obviously the four-function models which tend to be rather simple with a few exceptions, but problems start to arise with eight and especially sixteen function models such as MTT. This problem arises due to various factors such as the function qualities or temperaments being opposing to that of the ego stack so that no transformative flow would be perfectly reasonable. MTT takes the position that the main stack is that of the F-Block and the other being the shadow version of it, which can be unlocked through an X → G2 (usually a G1 → G2) transfer.

While MTT’s position is that every type can access every kind of cognition in some capacity, which is rather absolute, the way to arrive there is still rather in debate. The MTT mechanics make sense logically and seem to add up in reality as well, but there may be other explanations in which you can run all functions in one chain instead of two so that you would have all of them active at the same time. But as far as MTT goes, it takes the position that you can only run four info + four energy functions at a time through one chain. You can only access the rest through switching the chain, akin to the rails of a train switching paths.

Quote “This was part of the reason why the electrical circuit model was used to begin with, there were problems with integrating the dual channel element to the 8 function model with the animal stack. The problems stem from a variety of things, such as the fblocks themselves, such as that if you were to let’s say go through Ti Ne then Te Ni that would mean that you CB’d which should be impossible according to the rules established prior by OPS, or even worse if the dual channel would work in a way such as that Ti then Te then Ne then Ni that you either aren’t doing either consume or blast or doing them both at the same time. Then there is a question of temperament, are you being Di or De. Do you just adopt the temperament of the stronger function? and many questions like that, so the simple answer is that you go through one chain and you can go into the other which would unlock the other. Maybe there is a way to integrate the stacks together in a dual channel manner where it doesn’t break the theory itself, or maybe there are ways to refine the theory itself but they just aren’t here yet.“

Summary; The concept of channelling modes or chains in MTT involves the order and mechanism of functions in models like the sixteen-function MTT. The main stack in MTT is the F-Block with the other being its shadow version. While MTT suggests every type can access all kinds of cognition, debate exists on the process. MTT proposes running four info + four energy functions at a time through one chain, switching to access the rest. Challenges arise in integrating the dual channel element in the eight-function model with the animal stack. Refinements may be needed to integrate stacks in a dual channel manner without breaking the theory.

Single v. Dual Chain

The Ordering Problem

The ordering problem is currently the biggest topic of discussion in terms of MTT, as it presents the theoretical problem of which function should come first in the F-Blocks. This problem is a problem that MTT has to deal with due to the creator’s incompetence in not recognising the non-commutative nature of FBs, which ultimately meant that the order in which the FBs came was meaningless and therefore never mentioned. However, as MTT recognised directionality and the AAD, which functions come first becomes an extremely important matter as it can change the dynamic completely. Where normal consumption is about consumption and reverse consumption is about production, for example. Thus the way they are ordered relative to the type is extremely important.

In Legacy MTT, it had been assumed that the dominant functions would be dominant in their dynamics, so that for a TNC CP/S[B], the FBs would correspond to Ti Ne eN eF / iT iS [Si Fe]. The potential problem with that assumption, however, is that it could imply that deciders can have observer issues by default baked into their type with no special conditions, which is obviously contradictory to their essence and definition. The original DODO structure has support from its original perspective as well as others, but there are others that may also be true such as the 4xD solution, or that each type should have F-Blocks that correspond to whether they are an observer or decider, so that deciders would have all deciding F-Blocks and observers would have all observing F-Blocks.

Summary; The ordering problem in MTT concerns the sequence of functions in F-Blocks. Initially overlooked due to non-commutative nature, the order gains significance with directionality and AAD recognition. Legacy MTT assumed dominant functions dictate dynamics, potentially causing issues. Various perspectives exist, like the DODO structure and the 4xD solution, to address this challenge.

4 Possible Solutions

Mechanics

The mechanics represent the information and energy, as well as the interconnection between types, as suggested by TGM, acting as an extension of it. This part of the theory is rather important as it shows how all the functions interconnect and how you can access the rest of the mechanics of the theory, such as how a reversed consume would be able to access normal consume, for example.

The big problem in mechanics is the ordering problem mentioned above, as it makes a huge difference in what each type has access to and what the theory ultimately says. As far as 5.0 is concerned, the DODO model will be used as it is the current prominent one until further notice.

„Quote, “The flow mechanics were first discovered when the MTT team was attempting to properly integrate the eight-function model with the animal’s model, in which also the cores were invented. However, it spiralled out to create its own variation of the four sides of the mind, which finally ended up in connecting all 32 types. Some relate it back to IFS.”

The mechanics also show the inspiration the MTT model takes from circuit models in terms of explaining the flow of information and access to it, as everything will function in part like an electrical circuit, as will be shown in the example below.

The primary mechanism we introduce is gate flipping or closure. Similar to the logic of the ego mode, closing one gate while opening another permits electricity to flow through opposite functions, facilitating entry into the shadow mode or shadow type.

The second mechanism is reverse flow. Both upper gates close, compelling mental energy to travel upwards in a backward manner, thereby altering the type fundamentally.

Employing both the first and second mechanisms simultaneously allows for the closure of ego gates while opening shadow gates. However, the upper gate remains closed, resulting in the reversal of the shadow. The super ego mirrors temperament but opposes value structure.

The third and final unique mechanism involves transforming information functions into their energy variations, altering the circuit. This initiates a trickle-down effect, connecting all types. Henceforth, other types can be derived by combining these mechanisms, as depicted in the forthcoming graph.

Summary; The mechanics in TGM theory demonstrate the interconnection of functions and accessing different mechanics within the theory. The ordering problem impacts access and overall theory interpretation, with the DODO model being used in version 5.0. Flow mechanics connect 32 types and draw inspiration from electrical circuits. Gate flipping and reverse flow mechanisms facilitate entry into shadow modes. Transforming information functions into energy variations alters circuits and connects all types.

CHAPTER 4 Types

Base Type

Now, after a proper introduction to all of the elements and their interactions, we can start talking about the types themselves, starting with the base type. This itself merely represents the first FB within the greater model, but the entire information dynamic in the information stack can be seen within the type name, such as STC. Base Types are considered to be the greatest difference denominator between all of the variables, as they represent the basis on which everything is built and usually show the strongest difference between any two individuals.

Future versions of the theory are expected to gradually roll out descriptions of each of the base types and potentially even further subtyping at some point. Although a precise description for all of the type range is rather unlikely, considering the fact that due to the 5 anchors of the system being the base type (32) multiplied by (16/4 FBs) multiplied by (4 Modalities) multiplied by (4 Charge Constellations) multiplied by (24 DCNH Stacks), it ends up resulting in over 49,000 full types.

– Note that the DCNH types are considered to be the dynamic range of any type meaning that there are only 2048 static types

All 32 Base Types in order of Quadra, Club and Sub-Club

MTT Code

Most systems have their own unique naming schemes for the different types, and the same functions ultimately. For MTT, that reason stems from understanding the value of a lettering system that is beyond the base functions, but also not being able to integrate any already existing system which allows for seamless integration of the jumpers within its code.

Thus, you get the MTT Code, which is the wonderfully simple first two cores or letters in their appropriate order, then the first animal, so that the following four types: Ti/Ne, Ne/Ti, Te/Si, Ni/Ti would be the following letter codes in MTT: TNC, NTC, TSB, NTS. As we can see and as stated earlier, the difference between the mirror types such as Ti/Ne and Ne/Ti is whether the observing or deciding element comes first, so that one would be NTC and the other TNC. Then the second difference is between the consume, blast and sleep types.

The MTT code has the most beautiful symmetry of any code system that is of 32 types, and one of the most for any in general. The first two slots are dynamic to the dominance of D/O and the dichotomies of D(T/F) and O(N/S), while the last slot is set by the first FB implying the quality of each of the functions so that TNC would be equivalent to TN where D equals I and O equals E so that it is Ti/Ne, but TNS would be equivalent to where D and O equal I so that it is Ti/Ni.

Visual demonstration of the MTT Code

The MTT code happens to have the most versatile split coding of any other type of code. Split coding refers to the ability of the code to be split into parts to represent its different types, for example with the Myersian code it would go that IxxP would represent any Di dom, of which there are 4 in a classical 16 type setting. Below, we can find the list of all of MTT’s extenuated abilities (excluding permutations):

Tins

TINs or Type Identification Numbers (sometimes Type Identification Number System) are essentially a unique string of numbers that represent each of the unique variables in the full type code. They give each individual type a unique code that helps in identifying one string of numbers. The TINs are helpful in demonstrating the type visually in graphs, to show dynamic changes and relative relationships to other types. Their use is rather ambiguous, but ideas for it range from using it on the dynamic type range (DCNH+ Codified Self+ Expression Self) to show live changes in someone’s type akin to a heart monitor, or to convert it into quick QR codes for future machine identification of individuals.

The TINS works by assigning each variable a number ranging from 01 to n, representing the number of variables that exist within each letter. For instance, T N S F, which exists as the first variable in the MTT code name, would have a numbering akin to 01 02 03 04. Then we add the next n set of variables using the same method repeatedly. (Note that each variable class, such as MTT Code Name, gets its own count so that all first 4 variables, second 4 variables, and finally last 4 variables would count in the final number count. This means that the entire code would have 12 numbers ranging from 01 to 12.) This process continues until we finally get a full TIN that looks like 0105090107120104010301071016.

As mentioned previously, the code is divided into classes so that there are 5 classes, those being MTT Type Name → Fblocks (First Excluded) → Modalities → Charges → DCNH. The stack is in said order. The first class (MTT Code) populates the first 6 digits of the string, then the second (F-Blocks) populate 6 followed by the modalities which populate 4 like the following charges which also populate the 4 after that only to be followed by the next 8 digits to be populated by the DCNH stack. The first two have digits that range from 01 – 12 followed by the two after that ranging from 01-04 then finally the last ranging from 01 to 16.So that “0105090107120104010301071016” would be broken up into “010509 ← MTT Code 010712 ← F-Blocks 0104 ← Modalities 0103 ← Charges 01071016 ← DCNH Stack”

Summary; TINs, or Type Identification Numbers, are unique strings of numbers representing variables in a type code. They visually demonstrate types in graphs and can be used for dynamic changes. Each variable is assigned a number from 01 to n. The code is divided into classes: MTT Type Name, F-Blocks, Modalities, Charges, and DCNH. Each class populates a specific number of digits in the TIN.

Important information about what each of the number represent

Clubs

Clubs are a simple grouping of types that is proportionally rather useful and is quite popular among different typology systems. Clubs emerge from the commutative first two valued elements in a type so that any O+D type would be in a club corresponding to said O+D. Therefore, we would have 4 clubs: those being NT, ST, NF, SF. Said 4 clubs can be further divided by dominance of D/O to create the distinction between the 4 mentioned and TN, TS, FN, FS, or also NT(D), ST(D), NF(D), SF(D).

These clubs simply serve to show what these types share in common. NTs would be abstract nerds concerned with the functionality of the abstract, while STs are pragmatists who are concerned with achieving practical solutions. NFs are people who appreciate the beauty of imagination and everything possible, leaving SFs to be those who appreciate the beauty of everything that exists.

„By taking the two dominant elements of any type and ignoring the permutations, we get a very meaningful and interesting type grouping, which is that of the clubs. There are 4 clubs, each with their distinct meaning and description and common denominators, those being the NF, NT, ST and SF clubs. NTs are usually known for being theoretical nerds who appreciate the function in the implicit world, NFs, however, have the same appreciation for the implicit but in the sense of beauty and meaning. STs on the other hand, appreciate the practical utility of the world, while SFs appreciate the explicit beauty of the world.“

Figure 34. https://www.canva.com/design/DAF-sj0kzcA/t4-J9XIPuho7w8ztkuQXjA/edit?utm_content=DAF-sj0kzcA&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

Descriptions of each of the Clubs

Intuitive Thinkers (NT): Imagine them as architects of the mind. They thrive on abstract concepts, theories, and possibilities. They appreciate the underlying functionality of things, constantly analyzing and building systems that work efficiently in the realm of ideas. Think theoretical physicists, strategists, or programmers who find elegance in problem-solving.

Intuitive Feelers (NF): These folks are the visionaries. They delve into the abstract world of values, purpose, and meaning. They seek what truly matters, often drawing on intuition and inspiration. Imagine artists, humanitarians, or spiritual seekers who find beauty and significance in the potential of the world.

Sensory Thinkers (ST): These are the builders and doers. They focus on the concrete world, appreciating what works and what doesn’t in a practical sense. They excel at using their senses and experience to navigate the real world. Think engineers, mechanics, or athletes who value functionality and getting things done efficiently.

Sensory Feelers (SF): These individuals connect with the world through their senses and emotions. They value aesthetics, harmony, and the concrete experiences that life offers. Imagine chefs, caregivers, or performers who find beauty and meaning in the tangible world and the connections they build within it.

We can take this a step further by simply combining what we have already learned about the F-Blocks and what we have now learned about the Clubs to understand the relationship between the two, which results in showing that each F-Block represents a different club to each different Quadra so that we would get the following graph:

Table 7.

	Alpha	Beta	Gamma	Delta
Consume	NT	ST	SF	NF
Play	NF	SF	ST	NT
Blast	SF	NF	NT	ST
Sleep	ST	NT	NF	SF

And as can be seen here, this implies that there may be a stack of clubs where a TNC CP/S(B) would have a different stack from that of the TNC CS/B(P), which would be correct and thus we get what is known as club stacking. It can be helpful to get to the F-Blocks themselves, and or verify them by observing the types lean into different clubs. (Note that the DCNH may make this less clear.)

Quadras

Quadras are one of those concepts in the theory that are always used and you can’t quite get around without, hence multiple mentions of it prior to the formal introductions. The Quadras merely represent supersets of the clubs, merely the clubs + their animal with relevance to the axis. In other words, the Quadras represent the ego stack irrespective of its order, acting as another valuable grouping.

„Quote “The Quadrants in MTT are a relatively less explored area of the theory, often utilised as a tool for determining types through function axes. As a result, not much has been developed in comparison to other theories. Nevertheless, the table of values, which is currently being worked on, is an ongoing effort to investigate this area of the theory. The graph below of the table of values should provide some decent information in regards to the matter:”

There are, in total, 4 Quadras, those being Alpha (Ti-Fe + Ne-Si), Beta (Ti-Fe + Ni-Se), Gamma (Te-Fi + Ni-Se), and finally, Delta (Te-Fi + Ne-Si). Beyond the obvious implications of said Quadras, they seem to also represent varying values that are not explicit nor absolutely consistent but still valuable to know about, such as those in the following graph:

Stories

The stories represent a cornerstone of Modern Type Theory as they are one of the most utilised aspects of theory in terms of typing, as they are rather one of the most obvious things in an individual’s story (hence the name). The stories represent the dynamic between the dominant and inferior function (sometimes also the secondary dominant and inferior known as the secondary or small stories) thus, they speak of the archetype of the type and its stories, delusions, and struggles in life. Usually, stories are viewed from the high-level qualities but they can be broken down into the most complex functions, the highest of which can be seen in the following graph:

Figure 36. https://www.canva.com/design/DAF-suiIW4w/k3-Sqibstki5FnuaRj6M2Q/edit

All 4 MTT Stories

• Di Doms : Self-absorbed and believe they’re misunderstood. Everything revolves around their perspective and struggles.
• De Doms : Selfless but lack self-awareness. Constantly consider others‘ perspectives and misunderstand themselves.
• Oe Doms : Disorganized and chaotic. Feel controlled by a system limiting their freedom.
• Oi Doms : Overly controlling and plan everything. Fear chaos and lack spontaneity.

DCNH

The DCNH Sub-System is one of the most experimental yet most researched parts of the MTT theory. While being an integral part of it, it is also above it in an interesting way. The DCNH represents how the hormonal model affects the informational model, setting an important stage in a corner of the theory where now we are circling back to a more organic-like model. This model is less mechanical, precise and computer-like, but is also simultaneously all about how said elements integrate with each other. Due to the complexity of the DCNH and time limitations, it is very likely that the DCNH descriptions will be incomplete for many MTT versions to come. It is rather expected to be complete around 1 or 2 versions ahead, which is something to keep in mind.

Introductory information to know about the DCNH system is that it is based largely on Dr. Helen Fisher’s work „FTI“ and typologically structured by Dr. Viktor Gulenko, but MTT largely restructures it by abandoning any conception of function extensions and rather adopting a heavy source material view on it, restructuring it to be akin to the structure of psychosophy and adding a third pillar of transformation rings to relate it back to the informational model.

I. The 4 Roles and Hormonal Relations

The FTI suggests four main hormonal types, all four of which have been altered by Dr. Viktor Gulenko, then by the MTT team for various reasons. Ultimately, the four that MTT comes out with are the Creative, Dominant, Harmonizing, and Normalizing. (Also known by their role names as the Initiators, Implementers, Stabilizers, and Finalists or Terminators.) The types, in their order, correspond to Dopamine, Testosterone, Estrogen/Oxytocin, and Serotonin. The four types are thought of as social and internal roles to be thought of like a production chain where each part of the self or part of the social group takes a role in the chain. In this chain, the Creatives initiate, the Dominants produce, the Harmonizers stabilize, and the Normalizers terminate.

Summary; The DCNH Sub-System is a key part of the MTT theory, integrating the hormonal and informational models. It is complex and evolving, with descriptions likely incomplete in current versions. Based on Dr. Helen Fisher’s work and structured by Dr. Viktor Gulenko, MTT restructures it with four main hormonal types: Creative, Dominant, Harmonizing, and Normalizing, linked to specific hormones. These types correspond to social and internal roles in a production chain: Creatives initiate, Dominants produce, Harmonizers stabilize, and Normalizers terminate.

All DCNH Roles Explained

II. The Transformation Rings and Type

The idea behind the relationship of the DCNH and the Types is that types have a certain natural inclination to DCNH, which is represented in your transformation ring. The transformation ring represents the different mechanic lead types, so that those are for a TNC, TNB, FSC and FSB (technically also the 4 other jumpers). This allows for the DCNH stack itself to represent type leans so that a Creative TNC, for example, would be a more artistic, value-oriented and physically expressive version of the type. The 16 type rings have already been completed, but the other ones are to be completed in future updates. The former can be seen in the figure below.

All DCNH Transformation Rings

III. Psychosophy Like Structure

Psychosophy offers one of the most beautiful and consistent structures across all typology. In order to establish protocols upon which the DCNH stacks can be judged beyond a subjective relative approach, the Psychosophy structure (in parts) was chosen to provide consistent metrics for each of the spots‘ meaning. It has yielded great results thus far and seems to correspond greatly with reality. It achieves its goal quite nicely.

The Psychosophy structure has been integrated in a few ways such as the following that will be listed out. To begin with, the 1st and 3rd slots are both bold spots, meaning that they are the easiest to see in a person. Deviating from Psychosophy, it is said that the 3rd spot is what a person is likely to see when observing another person from a psychological distance.

The 1st spot is not only bold but also often overconfident and over expressive. It shares that relationship with its 4th spot, which can also be overconfident and over expressive, but only one of them goes at a time. The 1st and 4th slots seem to share a relationship where only one of them can exist at a time.

Adequately confident, however, are the 2nd and 3rd slots. The 2nd being the ideal as it is adequately distributed and does not have a great psychological distance. The 3rd, however, having just the right amount of distance and inadequate distribution, causes it to be the insecurity of the type.

One of the most important things to understand however is the monologue static versus dialogue dynamic positions, the monologue positions are things that the type itself feels the need to take responsibility of, higher tends to be an active role while lower tends to be a passive one.

That is to mean that a monologue high dominant type is a type that always jumps in to get whatever needs to be done, done, without communication with others usually. Think of Black Adam or the Hulk. Low monologue dominant on the other side tends to have a procrastination edge to them, they do not want anyone else do the work for them, but they don’t really want to do it themselves either, but they will if they have to or are inclined to do so.

On the other side however dialogue positions tend to be more dynamic positions that are more so about working together and more so about the type getting that delivered to them or them ensuring that others are doing it instead of the type itself taking all too much responsibility. The low dialogue position is considered to be the worst because it is a place of insecurity, that the type often expects others to fix for them.

Summary; The Psychosophy structure provides consistent metrics for evaluating the DCNH stacks. It integrates bold spots for visibility, with the 3rd spot being significant from a psychological distance. The 1st and 4th slots can be overconfident, but only one dominates at a time. The 2nd and 3rd slots are adequately confident, with the 3rd having the right distance but inadequate distribution, making it the type’s insecurity.

CHAPTER 5 Beyond Type

Core State

One important thing to understand in MTT is that most things merely represent core states, so that the change from qualitative to quantitative, from negative to positive or others are often merely just core state changes. The importance of understanding this is in understanding the inherent dynamic mechanics of the system’s structure. This is also rather important in understanding that the charges represent core states as well, in order to understand how someone can access the other charged versions of their functions. Note that the masculine functions are more rigid to change while the feminine functions are less so.

Homogeny Principle

The homogeneity principle simply states that things try to normalise each other to be like each other, so that if a exists, a will try to turn b, c, and d into a. This is important in understanding why introverts try to make everything ultimately qualitative, while extroverts try to do the same. This is rather important in understanding how the types are within themselves and with others. Note that this also seems to have an interesting effect on jumper types.

Everything must homogenize!

Symbology

In MTT, all components can be explained using another language – that of symbols. In this section, we will delve into the details of how MTT’s symbol system operates. Like everything else, the MTT symbol system, which we’ll refer to as symbology henceforth, begins with the fundamental four Jungian Faculties.

At the start, we can see the basic symbols for MTT’s Symbology and the inspiration they took from Socionics, starting with a circle to represent sensing, followed by a square for thinking, a triangle for intuition, and finally MTT’s unique touch of a diamond for feeling, as it is easier to visually divide into four than the L-Block, which is rather relevant for the visual representation of the Cores.

Then, in the slide after that, we can move on from the basic faculties to the full blown eight cognitive functions by simply filling or not filling in the shapes. The filled ones represent the quantitative functions, while the empty ones represent the opposite.

Then, finally, in the two slides after that, we can see that by writing in I for information or E for energy in the shapes, we can represent whether it is an energy or info function, therefore giving us all of MTT’s 16 functions.

Summary; • MTT uses symbols to explain all components, with a symbol system called symbology based on Jungian Faculties: circle for sensing, square for thinking, triangle for intuition, and diamond for feeling. • The symbology is inspired by Socionics and represents the eight cognitive functions by filling or leaving shapes empty.• By adding „I“ for information or „E“ for energy, the system can represent whether a function is energy-based or information-based, resulting in all 16 of MTT’s functions.

Basic MTT Symbology!

Type Names

In the following section we will take a minute to appreciate the MCNS or MTT Code Name System and see how it compares to other typological code systems and the difference in functionality, to start off we can quickly explain how the MCNS functions by the first and second slots being that of the Jungian Faculties so that the 4 possible letters for any are T,N,S or F, then followed by an importance in their order distinguish between deciders and observer, finally with the last slot being reserved for one of the 4 F-Blocks. This nicely gives you a 3 letter code name for any of the 32 types of MTT, unlike other systems which are often 4 letters or more just to be able to describe half as many types.

Figure 43. GIF https://www.canva.com/design/DAGC6I0GOuY/qq-EQlVeAwMv_NYh5uBnhw/edit?utm_content=DAGC6I0GOuY&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

Functional Visualization of MTT’s Code Name System

MBTI however uses its own naming scheme, one which follows a 4 letter static scheme, where the 1st slot represents a dichotomy of extrovert versus introvert, followed by the 2nd representing the dichotomy representing intuition versus sensing, before the final we have the 3rd representing thinking versus feeling and then final which represents the introversion or extroversion of the first observing (Perceiving) function incorrectly named perceiving versus judging.

This generally works just fine for a 16 type system, and is the most widely used and popular name code system, however it has a few problems such as the incorrect naming of perceiving versus judging which is rather just a small thing that is irrelevant in the larger scheme of things and is over exaggerated by the Socionics community, a real problem however is that it works for a 16 type system and just that. The only real way to use it for jumpers would be to use one of the many jumper extension systems, most of which have been created by MTT such as the simple J/C at the end to denote jumper v. classical types, or the corrected letter code name where a INTP-J becomes a ISTJ-a or ISTJ-α or in the case of specifically alphas ISTJ-l due to 16 personalities or the alternative version of it ISTJ2. OPS has also been known to just spell out jumper so that it would be INTP Normal v. INTP Jumper.

That however gets a level of complexity that is hard to explain and causes a nomenclature crisis, therefore the need for MTTs own code, with that being said, using said name code orally is generally acceptable with no major problems.

Summary; MBTI uses a 4-letter naming scheme for personality types. There are some issues like the naming of perceiving versus judging, but it generally works for a 16-type system. Additional jumper extension systems have been created to accommodate other types. The complexity of these systems has led to the need for a new naming code by MTT, though using the existing name code orally is generally acceptable.

Functional Visualization of MBTI’s Code Name System

When it comes to Socionics, it typically employs two distinct naming systems. One of these systems is essentially a derivative of MBTI’s model, with the P and J traits flipped for introverts and lowercase letters except the last used. This often leads to confusion among everyone, and the corrective value is ultimately negligible, in fact it is a net negative. MTI strongly discourages its adoption or usage.

Socionics, luckily also uses another naming system that is clearer compared to the less effective version. In this alternative system, the first and second slots correspond to T, N, S, F, but with Socionics‘ own terms L, I, S, E for Logic, Intuition, Sensing, and Ethics. The third slot indicates whether the type leads with an introverted or extroverted function with an I or E. So that a Te Ni for example would be labelled as an LIE.

ifs&linda

MTT’s distinct and independently created frameworks, like the Tri Type Pyramid, have been validated through independent replications. Some of these replications are more evident than others, with examples such as the IFS and the Linda Barrens Onion Model.

The IFS, developed by Richard C. Schwartz, views the mind as a collection of various subpersonalities or parts, each with its own traits and viewpoints. The main goal of IFS is to create harmony and connection between these parts and the core Self. It identifies Exiles, Managers, and Firefighters as parts playing extreme roles, emphasizing the positive intentions of each. Therapists using IFS aim to heal wounded parts, restore mental balance, and promote internal harmony by accessing the core Self, understanding different parts, and nurturing internal connections and unity. The model recognizes three key relationships between parts: protection, polarization, and alliance.

In contrast, the Tritype Pyramid, a component of Modern Type Theory (MTT), breaks down the self into three primary components: Express Self, Codified Self, and Process Self (the Core). The Express Self, least connected to the core, adjusts based on external conditions. The Codified Self represents learned behaviours and adaptations, potentially masking the true type in certain situations. The Process Self, identified as the core permanent type, reveals innate wiring and embodies the authentic self in MTT. The Tritype Pyramid, a cornerstone of MTT, highlights the exploration of individuals‘ natural wiring, particularly focusing on the processes of the core self.

While IFS concentrates on therapeutic approaches to heal internal parts and enhance internal harmony, the Tritype Pyramid, rooted in MTT, delves into understanding the authentic instinctual self and its processes. IFS recognizes the fluidity of parts but stresses accessing the core Self for healing. In contrast, the Tritype Pyramid categorizes the Express Self as highly adaptable, the Codified Self as dynamic, and the Process Self as stable, representing the core essence.

Summary; MTT’s frameworks like the Tri Type Pyramid and the IFS have been independently validated. The IFS views the mind as parts aiming for harmony, while the Tri Type Pyramid categorizes the self into Express, Codified, and Process selves. The IFS focuses on healing internal parts, while the Tri Type Pyramid explores the authentic self and its processes in MTT.

The IFS Figure

Moving on to a replication that closely resembles the TTP of MTT, we encounter the Linda Barrens Onion Model (LBOM), a concept previously unnamed until we dubbed it so. The LBOM proposes that individuals operate across three main levels: the Core Self, Developed Self, and Contextual Self.

The parallels between the three levels and the Tritype Pyramid are striking. The Core Self is depicted as „An innate aspect of our personality present since birth, embedded in our genes and DNA.“ This is followed by the Developed Self, defined as „When our contextual behaviors become ingrained and continuous, they become part of the developed self.“ Lastly, the Contextual Self is characterized as „Who we are in specific environments, reflecting how we adapt our behavior to suit varying situations.“

Despite noticeable differences between the LBOM and the TTP, it is fascinating to observe their remarkable similarities despite emerging independently in different contexts.

The LBOM Layers Explained

Neurotypology

Neurotypology combines elements of a typology and a trait theory, where types are positioned on a two-dimensional spectrum similar to the political compass. One dimension is the spectrum between linearity and laterality (y-axis), and the other is between lexicality and impressionism (x-axis). By utilizing this framework, you can create the neurotype grid.

The X axis, as the first spectrum, illustrates the level of lexicality or impressionism for the agent or type. To explain the terms further, we can refer to two key graphs developed by the neurotyping community. These graphs visually present their collective understanding of the concepts.

Figure 48. GIF https://www.canva.com/design/DAGDtaRzX90/Dl6E8geNDvKx4DOInwc0kg/edit?utm_content=DAGDtaRzX90&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

In the figure above, we observe that the x-axis represents quality, while the y-axis represents quantity visually. However, this perspective is beneficial when viewed correctly. The x-axis signifies the clarity of the agent’s linguistic perspective, where lexicality pertains to the agent’s adherence to the language structure and competence within it. Being on the left side generally suggests a strong grasp of word choice, an extensive vocabulary, and a tendency to describe things in detail. Conversely, being on the right side indicates success beyond language constraints, often involving non-linguistic thoughts that require active translation.

„Lexical thinkers are inclined towards well-defined systems as they excel in precise word selection and have a better grasp of specific concepts. On the other hand, impressionistic thinkers thrive in grasping loosely defined concepts and prefer using analogies in communication to draw parallels on a broader scale.“

„Lexicality refers to a person’s reliance on expressing ideas using specific language. A lexical thinker comprehends only what can be articulated, disregarding uncodified understandings. Non-lexical or impressionistic thinkers may grasp concepts but struggle to verbalize them, preferring alternative communication methods.“

• On the other dimension of the grid we have the y axis which represents how linear or lateral thought can be, as demonstrated beautifully by the Fig. above we can see that linear thought is essentially just one line that keeps on going while lateral thought is one that diverges into many many different paths. With these two axes defined we can establish someone’s position on the grid, there are those who lateral lexicals, linear lexicals, lateral impressionists and linear impressionists.
• “Linear thinkers have smaller bursts of thoughts, resulting in a consistently straightforward thought process which means that they tend to be more practical because they won’t unintentionally overthink the simplest problems. While lateral thinkers have bigger bursts, resulting in having more ideas to process at once leading to coming up with more complex or unexpected conclusions on the fly or losing track of thought”
• “Linearity refers to how linear the thoughts in your head are. An extremely linear thinker only has a single train of thought at any given time, and communicates in very straightforward ways; while a non-linear or lateral thinker will have multiple trains of thought at any given time and tend to communicate in more jumbled or indirect ways.”

Ability to step outside of themselves.Good doctors, lawyers, and killers because of the increased distance they can put between themselves and their actions.Tend to do more of their thinking on the inside and to verbalize only their conclusionsSelf-aware.	Great for jobs which involve keeping track of huge amounts of data in service of developing a greater whole, such as coding, accounting, and even most styles of animating.Understand new concepts extremely fast, as long as there is a clear, lexical justification for those ideas.Difficult to deal with nonsense.Solving problems.
HUMAN CALCULATORS	LEVEL-HEADED / REASONABLE PEOPLE	UNDERSTANDING / CARETAKERS
These people consider the world to operate under a very complex and particular set of rules which they are very serious about following.Are recognizably autistic to just about anyone.Particular about following the letter of the law.Doing everything deemed most-optimal.Eccentric geniuses.	While still mostly relying on language to communicate, are more capable of listening to their gut and considering the validity of ideas which they have yet to fully codify, even if they may continue working to do so.Serenely placid and perfectly reasonable towards most circumstances and people.	Able to understand others and help.Dad/Mom friend.Has the best position out of any Neurotype to be able to understand people of the largest different number of other Neurotypes and to help organize and codify those people’s ideas.They can step outside of themselves thanks to their more lateral thinking, and they are understanding of more impressionist ideas because they aren’t purely lexical thinkers themselves–yet their relative linearity and lexicality makes their minds a lot more organized than less-linear and less-lexical thinkers.Can range from gentle-hearted but stern-willed to more sarcastic, begrudging caretakers.

• The exploration of the non-existent connection between the Neurotyping approach and Jungian typology was both fascinating and challenging, evoking a mix of intrigue and frustration. To capture the essence of this journey, the following figure will show some amount of that adventure:
• Figure 51. GIF https://www.canva.com/design/DAF3PFUfJUI/KHZZcjUVv0A1HbX0nSZfRw/edit?utm_content=DAF3PFUfJUI&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton
• The initial relationship to consider is the lexical impressionistic axis, which is a well-established and straightforward concept. This axis can be easily understood in Jungian terms and has been coincidentally explored by the OPS team and certain MBTI sub-schools. The connection is quite apparent: Ne-Si axis types tend to be more focused on lexical aspects, whereas Ni-Se axis types lean towards being more impression-oriented.
• Figure 52. https://www.canva.com/design/DAGD2sREem4/WrYyempXNzIbz–bCJnzrg/edit?utm_content=DAGD2sREem4&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton
• The divergence offered by the Ne function coupled with the sensory structure of the Si function add up to make individuals fairly lexical, as both allow for someone to be long winded not only because the sensory data is a structure but the supplement of potential word choice provided by the Ne allows for a never ending speech.
• The Ni-Se axis on the other hand does not provide that kind of luxury, as Ni gives a singular pattern and outline for the speech and the Se provides the most important facts but in an unstructured manner. Meaning that the Ni-Se speech ends up being some goal oriented speech that is highly efficient with just the major facts being mentioned, overall that with some of the traits associated with Ni, it leaves the axis relatively impressionistic.
• Figure 53. https://www.canva.com/design/DAGD2v0kmM0/qcCsbbK5gxzzdln2q6P1jQ/edit?utm_content=DAGD2v0kmM0&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton
• When we shift our focus to the other axis, things start to get more complex, highlighting the lack of grounding of Neurotyping in Jungian theory. As previously mentioned, the y-axis indicates divergence and quantity to some extent. Some may interpret this as Oi versus Oe, which aligns with the Ne-Si aspect but falls apart when considering the Ni-Se axis for various reasons. The two-dimensional nature of the chart rules out a simple Oe-Oi dichotomy, which would inaccurately suggest a correlation between higher Ne and higher Se, a notion that contradicts established theories.
• Another factor refuting this idea is the descriptions of the types themselves. By examining them individually or in contrast, it becomes evident that starting from the bottom far left corner representing types like ISTJ or STB (a consensus among Neurotyping scholars supported by other evidence), the top right corner would then likely represent a contrasting type such as ESTP or ESFP.
• Figure 54. https://www.canva.com/design/DAGD2iBGryQ/Za6qislAL7cpy2NB3bD9-g/edit?utm_content=DAGD2iBGryQ&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton
• In summary, Neurotyping and MTT, along with any Jungian typology, may not be seamlessly compatible for complete integration. This is because of their fundamentally distinct structures that cannot be effectively aligned. Therefore, researchers and theorists in MTT should explore a distinct strategy by examining and evaluating NT to identify intriguing structures, analytical tools, or metaphors that could be incorporated in MTT. However, at present, achieving integration seems unfeasible.

materials&learning

MTT and MTI provide a wide range of publicly accessible materials for people of all backgrounds to study MTT, most of them are usually found here but today we will explore some of the options offered by us to you. https://www.canva.com/design/DAF0qGFHwBg/Z4O5-2io4WLWBnbudE7Z6Q/edit

“MTT and MTI are committed to offering a diverse selection of resources for individuals from all walks of life who are interested in delving into the world of MTT. Our collection is vast, with materials catered to various levels of expertise and interests. From beginner-friendly guides to in-depth analyses, there is something for everyone.”

Artificial Intelligence

One of the latest offers currently made by MTI is the option of using AI discord bots who were trained on MTT material and have a wide range of information, you can test them out at the Official MTI server. Note that said AI is still extremely unreliable and prone to hallucinations, it should be used mostly for testing purposed and not any large learning missions.

Figure 55. https://imgur.com/a/E1i2dV6

As LLM chatbots go, these are not much radically different other than being trained on MTT materials. You can do the usual things such as asking them general questions, ordering them to make lists or theorize about things. They can be pretty fun to play around with but should be generally approached with caution.

Concise Versions

Concise or debloated versions of the theory are usually versions of it that are the bare minimum % of the theory to help you get a quick introduction or drive in core concepts more so that you do not get lost in the small things.

Class Recordings

Class recordings are often public recordings of MTI Academy classes in which everything from the theory to its and application and everything in between is explained, these classes can sometimes be found in the Supplementary doc, sometime in the Database but mostly in the MTIA Discord server itself. https://discord.gg/cE2DmT4h8q

Flash Cards

Flash cards are an amazing learning tool provided by Quizlet that allows you to do a variety of things such as simply see MTI flashcards to learn more about the theory in an interactive manner, play a matching game, or even take a knowledge test. Overall, it is a pretty awesome resource that everyone should try once.

Figure 56. https://imgur.com/a/hpeteGG

Other sources

Other sources include things such as the overview or presentation made by Cole, publicly available MTIA homework or notes, Ad3l’s YouTube channel and more. Generally speaking MTT and MTI are ever evolving and there will always be more and more resources to help you in your journey, this section of the theory book is only meant to open your eyes to the possibilities.

useful tools

The Modern Type Institute provides a comprehensive toolkit for learning and applying MTT. This includes tutorials, exercises, and other resources to deepen your understanding and practical use of MTT. But it does not just stop there is MTI has been responsible for the creation of many great tools that can assist you in deepening your understanding of MTT as well as applying it, these tools include things such as the X Database, the Typing Tool and others.

XDB: X Data Base

XDB is the most comprehensive database accounting for all relevant official MTI typing’s for any celebrity, person or fictional character and as of recently it has also become a official competitor of PDB as it now provides many ways to vote on people’s types allowing the community to have its say as well following in the Open Source spirit of MTT.

Figure 57. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1109511348427178086/1239572717695533178/2vi9pqH.png?ex=6643698e&is=6642180e&hm=78c8aa2a424648e969d7113d0c8fd83581bd2dd2eeeb2039cf7a63dee1129453&

To begin grasping the database interface design, we can break it down into its primary categories:

• On the left side, we have the views menu.
• Above it, there is the filters bar.
• Above the filters bar is where the tables view is located.
• To the right side, we find the extensions button.
• In the centre, we can observe the actual view itself.

Figure 58. GIF https://www.canva.com/design/DAGFKVpRqKs/KupQsbdJm3uw7jBpZfX9gg/edit?utm_content=DAGFKVpRqKs&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

Starting off with the views menu we first have to understand that a view is pretty much a pre packaged set of filters and way of displaying data from the database, and so with that knowledge there are a few primary views to introduce here to get an idea and the rest will be left for you to explore.

• Celebrities; This is a view for all public figured typed, whether it be a YouTuber or a president, you will find them here.
• Person: This is a view for all real people typed, this is to mean anyone who had an official interview with an MTI representative and went through the process.
• Fiction: This is a view for all fictional non real characters that have been typed from MTI officials for one reason or another.
• Mixed: This is a view combining all three above views into one, pretty much almost all of the database at your finger tips.
• All/All+: This is a view much like the Mixed but with more information about the people on the cards themselves so that you are not required to open each one of them individually.
• Master: This is a view that unlike every other gallery view, a grid based view much like a excel sheet, this excels at showing great sums of data all at once, great overview and control centre.
• Community: This is the view for the latest XDB feature, this view is dedicated to showing you what the community votes on different people, celebrities and fictional characters are, much like PDB.

Figure 59. Video https://www.canva.com/design/DAGFKoa6Pao/fTCXUqdcdddFrJZXd2Mx-A/edit?utm_content=DAGFKoa6Pao&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

When it comes to the filters bar, two key aspects are important for you: the filtering option and the sorting option. The sorting process is quite straightforward – you choose a variable to arrange the view, select either A-Z or Z-A display, and can add more sorting criteria if necessary.

The more crucial of the two options is the filtering feature, which offers advanced yet slightly intricate filtering capabilities. When selected, you will be presented with two choices: adding a condition or a condition group. The condition group is typically less significant, so let’s opt for the simple condition. Upon selection, three selector menus will appear. The left one, often labelled “names”, represents variable group selection – determining the sorting criteria, such as name, type, generation, or other attributes. The second menu is for logical conditions; for example, if you are filtering an array for individuals with TNC or CPSB, you can use the logical condition „has any of.“ However, if you are specifically searching for TNC CPSB, you should choose „has all of“ or „is exactly.“ Conversely, if you are excluding TNC CPSB, select „has none of.“

There are numerous options available, providing various paths to the same outcome, though we won’t cover all of them today. Lastly, after selecting the variable group and condition, you can further refine your choices by using the rightmost selector menu to pick specific variables or combine them, similar to the sorting feature.

Finishing up with the last parts of the database you have the tables view which allows you to change between tables to other databases that are linked and the extensions option allows you to view real time statistics about various things in the database.

Typing Tool

Typists have always relied on visual tools to assist their typing’s. Notable examples include the Type Grid or Type Tool created by OPS and CSJ. Initially, MTT typists, originating from OPS, utilized the OPS tool for typing, but soon they realized the imperfections it had and eventually OPS restricted its access behind a paywall. Consequently, MTI was compelled to develop its own tool. Through several iterations, MTI successfully crafted the best typing tool to date.

Figure 61. GIF https://www.canva.com/design/DAGFNK9NF6M/1VzWFOUoDTr21N08uQPSlA/edit?utm_content=DAGFNK9NF6M&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

We will first encounter the settings menu, which provides access to various tools:

• F-Blocks tool for typing F-Blocks
• Translate tool for converting MTT code into other systems
• Notepad tool for taking detailed notes that can be reviewed later in the Notes Database
• XDB embed for viewing real type examples while typing
• MTT embed for reading theory while typing

Once you’ve made your selections, you can begin typing. This tool is straightforward to use – just click on the relevant typing variable, and the opposite will be shadowed. For example, selecting „T“ for thinkers will shadow all feelers. Repeat this process until you’ve completed the typing.

Statistics

Every quarter, MTI conducts a visualization and statistical report & analysis of XDB to gain deeper insights into individuals, celebrities, fictional characters, and society at large using typological perspectives. Below, you will find the quarterly visualizations.

Note that you can always view real live data from XDB itself.
