Flexible-Maneuvering
Irrationality is a perceptual style focused on sensory impressions, intuitive flashes, and sensitivity to the states of body and mind.
• Tends to act improvisationally, watching how the situation unfolds
• Generally flexible and tolerant
• May change decisions frequently
• Takes on many things but may lose interest and drop them midway
• Movements appear smooth and soft
• Leadership tends to be democratic (bottom-up)
• Stress tolerance is relatively high
Static types perceive the world as a collection of states, attending to stability and inherent qualities rather than change.
• Tends to perceive the world as “states” rather than continuous processes
• Attends to stability and inherent qualities rather than change
• Remembers events not as a continuous flow but as independent scenes and moments
• Values the fixed structure of states and relationships
• Attends to simultaneity (“what existed at that moment”) rather than cause and effect

Characteristic Behaviors and Cognition
• Recalls memories as still images and discrete scenes
• Strong awareness of frameworks — relationships, rules, values
• Emphasizes grasping the present state, the “here and now”
• Tends to find stability and essence in repetition
Serious types believe in objective, absolute standards of correctness and approach encounters and relationships through step-by-step, formal processes.
Emotions and Relationships
• Has difficulty reading emotional atmospheres and subtle moods
• Does not separate fun from activity — enjoyment is embedded within the activity itself
• Encounters must pass through step-by-step, formal processes (e.g., greetings and introductions)
• Values information such as names and titles; without a proper introduction, does not consider someone an acquaintance

Worldview and Judgment Style
• Believes correctness is determined by objective, absolute standards
• Personal opinions and experience matter, but beyond them there is “an answer that holds in general”
• In discussion, presents “the correct method” itself rather than their own view

Behavioral Tendencies
• Asks “who did it?” rather than “why did they do it?”
• When a mistake bothers them, would rather redo it themselves than explain
• Tends to believe there is a single correct answer for methods and actions

Speech and Vocabulary
• Frequent objective assertions: “this way is the most efficient,” “this is not correct”
• Rarely negotiates concepts; assumes a “correct definition” already exists
• When explaining actions, relies on examples and marks right and wrong explicitly

Logical types tend to lean toward objectivism (Serious)
Obstinate types treat their interests and aims as sacred and inviolable, while treating resources as flexible tools.
Core Values
• Interests (aims and passions) are sacred and inviolable
• Resources (possessions and abilities) are flexible tools to be used

Behavior and Psychology
• When interested, does not give up even without the resources: “if I lack them, I’ll work until I have them”
• Strong attachment and sense of identity toward their interests, tastes, and principles
• Not much bothered when others use their possessions or time, but reacts strongly against intrusions on their values
• Prone to reject outside pushes and suggestions of interests (“why not try this?”)

Example Remarks
• “If resources are short, I’ll find a way to make up for them”
• “If I gave up my interests that easily, I would fall apart”
• “No matter how busy I am, I can’t cut what I love”
• “I don’t want others steering my interests”
Process types move through things sequentially and in stages, immersing themselves deeply in whatever is under way.
Key Characteristics
• Moves through things sequentially and in stages
• Once committed, finds it hard to stop midway
• Easily becomes immersed in a process, entering the situation itself
• A single-tasker who concentrates on one thing at a time
• Tends to read books and information in order from the beginning

Speech Tendencies and Vocabulary
• Prefers words like “flow,” “process,” “step by step,” “in progress”
• Says things like “I’m still in the middle of it,” “once I stop I can’t get back in”

Behavioral Tendencies
• Values the coherence of what is under way more than completion
• Struggles to resume work that was interrupted
• The type who “can’t stop” once a game or a task has begun
Positivist types perceive the world through what exists and what has been achieved, and seek to optimize and polish what is already in place.
Cognitive and Expressive Tendencies
• Perceives things as “what exists” and “what has been realized”
• Seeks to optimize and refine what is already there
• Relatively open and affirmative at first meetings
• Uses affirmative expressions more than negative ones (“can do,” “there is”)
• Even when pointing out a problem, adds an affirmation: “we have this, but we also have that”

Examples (affirmative framing)
• “This glass is half full”
• “We’ve already raised $438,000”
• “On this point, I think you’re right”
Democratic types perceive others through their individual, unique characteristics. Relationships form around personal closeness and empathy; labels and stereotypes are viewed with reluctance.
• Sees others not as “a certain type of person” but focuses on their individual characteristics
• Judges through personal, direct impressions: “approachable,” “intelligent,” “interesting”
• Relationships are based on one-on-one compatibility and shared values rather than group belonging
• “Being who I am” matters most — individualist by nature
• Shows little interest in topics like “where is this person from?”
• Rarely uses expressions like “I represent such-and-such”
Parent Functions
Types with this as a basic function

Characteristics of People Strong in This Function

Positive Traits (Healthy Range)

[Conflict Mediator]
- Instantly makes hidden emotions visible
- Surfaces unverbalized tension
- Catalyst for thawing conflicts
- Suppression detection through amygdala + insular cortex instantaneous activation → true-feelings trigger → purification
- Reveals hidden organizational problems, enables early conflict resolution
- Deepens relationships, improves team psychological safety

[Motivation Refresher]
- After release, detects the freed emotional capacity
- Injects new motivation with empathetic words
- Converts emotions → action energy
- Sharp rise in serotonin and oxytocin, new dopamine release
- Stalled projects start moving again
- An energy generator who converts information (suppressed emotions) into action energy

[Conflict Thawing Agent]
- Senses silent conflicts, sets up confession sessions
- Timing assessment (learnable), setting up safe spaces
- Gradual drawing out of true feelings, promoting detox
- Frozen relationships start to move, organizational flexibility improves

[Relationship Reboot Gene]
- Sweeps away accumulated stress within the group, re-bonds cooperative relationships
- This is the survival advantage (evolutionary value)
- Rebuilding bonds through oxytocin
- Regular organizational resets, reduced turnover

[Impression Generation / Trust Building Ability]
- Builds deep trust even from brief interactions
- Quickly becomes intimate with new people, "showing off" technique
- Immediate honest disclosure → promotes mutual disclosure
- Rapid oxytocin release creates "I can trust this person"
- Advantages in networking, sales, and negotiations

Neutral Traits

[Talkative / Noisy]

Differences by Developmental Stage

[Childhood (0-12 years)]
Neural development: Early amygdala development, prefrontal cortex immature, almost no impulse control
Behavior: Talkative and bright child, constant "Why?" and "Really?", makes friends quickly but also has frequent troubles
Challenges: Impulse control, learning timing, being labeled "noisy"
Parenting approach: Affirm directness, but also teach timing, distinguish "when and where it's okay to speak up"

[Adolescence (13-25 years)]
Neural development: Prefrontal cortex development begins, but amygdala remains stronger, timing judgment starts to emerge
Behavior: Social and energetic, center of parties, intense romantic relationships
Developmental tasks: Acquiring sense of timing, learning to read the room, trainable as Creative function
Risks: Consequences of impulsive behavior, relationship troubles, but high resilience

[Adulthood (26-40 years)]
Maturation: Full prefrontal cortex development (around age 25), improved timing judgment, optimization of Creative function
Behavioral refinement: Honest at appropriate times, space-setting technique, detox facilitation skills
Optimal roles: Interpersonal mediation facilitator, emotional coach, complaint resolution specialist, family therapist, "true-feelings extraction" director
Challenges: Maintaining timing judgment, managing excessive impulses, sustainable activity levels

[Middle Age (41-60 years)]
Characteristics: Deepening of honesty technique, improved intuitive accuracy based on experience, refined sense of timing
Strengths: Deep reconciliation ability, mentoring younger people, organizational mediation role
Challenges: Energy management, increased physical fatigue, risk of becoming the "loud old person"

[Old Age (61+ years)]
Characteristics: Embodiment of directness, living witness to reconciliation, model of "living honestly"
Strengths: Years of experience and wisdom, deep insight, master of timing, yet impulsivity remains
Legacy: Model of "living honestly," passing on reconciliation techniques, influence on younger generations
