A new subtype system

My view is that functions (in Model A, Model B etc.) are clearly blocked, so if we accentuate the leading function then we must also accentuate the creative function. For example, strategizing involves both Ni and Te, and mathematical thought involves both Ti and Ne.

D = Dominant. This subtype is very focused on his (or her) strong (3D or 4D) functions. I like Viktor Gulenko's description: D-personality is obsessed with a difficult goal, which is constantly “itching” in his brain, haunting him. Drawn by strong desire, he tries to reach his goal once, twice. He cannot. But his hand does not descend. On the contrary, he desires it even more greatly. In him is that which is sometimes called the “fighting spirit”, occasionally “playing hardball”.

H = Humble. This subtype is moderately focused on his strong functions. He is sometimes a bit neurotic.

----------

It is obvious that some subtypes are more extroverted and others are more introverted. This trait affects how much a subtype uses his secondary functions in Model D.

E = He is more extroverted than the normal subtype.

N = Normal

I = He is more introverted than the normal subtype.

----------

This is not enough, though. We cannot explain why LIIs like Seth Lloyd and Bill Gates, or ILIs like Robbert Dijkgraaf and Garry Kasparov, are so different. Both LIIs are dominant and extroverted subtypes, and both ILIs are dominant and normal subtypes. However, Seth Lloyd and Robbert Dijkgraaf are more "philosophical" due to a better balance between Ni and Ti.

M = Mental

V = Vital. This subtype can more easily access the vital functions.

----------

Hence, we have 12 subtypes. Here are some examples: Bill Gates is LII-dem, Terence Tao is LII-dnv, Seth Lloyd is LII-dev, David Keirsey Jr is LII-him and Tina Fey is LII-hev (or hem).
