Can’t say I cared much for the chapter on femininity and masculinity + the many references to more esoteric, mystical symbols, but I suppose it might simply be the Ni-Fe way to go “omg look at how all these philosophies all over the world (Fe) actually say the same thing (Ni)”! Not sure if I really buy the integration of the Socionics framework into MBTI either (like the justification for PoLR seemed rooted in that one mythical story lol). Ig I’m just generally not a Socionics fan so I wasn’t going wild over the parts that tried to integrate both theories though I do appreciate the various MBTI!Quadra descriptions. Frankly I did feel quite repulsed by the description of the quadra that doesn’t value either of my axes so mission accomplished ig?
No like overall it’s good like I still feel as if the Te-Fi/Fe-Ti divide is the one that’s most valuable to me personally but a lot of the book’s content is very interesting probably moreso to a more learned man than myself. If I were more intimately familiar [;)] with Kierkegaard, for instance, perhaps I’d truly be like “ahh yes this describes my man perfectly!” Also it was nice to see excerpts that demonstrated that some people actually experience Ni bc I myself could not imagine such a thing ngl.
Random musings:
- consider that Ni is statistically the rarest dom/aux function simply bc we all have low self esteem /jk
- I realised that the entire NFP/STJ quadra was highlighted as being individuals that fundamentally felt screwed over by the world around them. Which? Mood.
- Se and showmanship isn’t a connection I’ve made in the past though to be fair Naranjo did do that 3 and ESTP correlation thing. I suppose it makes sense.
- hierarchy of types based on these descriptions bc my Fi says so, just for fun: ESTJ/ESFP, INTJ, ISTJ, ENTJ, ISFP, ESTP, ENTP, INFP, ENFP, ENFJ, ISFJ, INFJ, ISTP, INTP (god when I read this description I felt so annoyed at the imaginary person I envisioned), ESFJ (lmao when pierce said that they could be literal sheeple)
- ok wow I put ti doms rly Low maybe pierce had a point about PoLR
- I just have a strong bias towards the Fi-Te axis lmao like I think generally I have great admiration for the certainty and strength of an NTJ/SFP type.

I really enjoyed the comparison of the eight functions to the eight I Ching trigrams. This is the first I've seen someone link the I Ching to type outside of Human Design.
Pierce's profiles of the 16 personality types are excellent and more nuanced than what is out there on the internet. He understands that each type can't be viewed in isolation and is part of a mosaic of the other types.
His comparisons of each function to its opposite were also thought-provoking.
I like that Pierces uses an eight function model and I look forward to exploring how I can incorporate elements of his model, such as the I Ching archetypes, with John Beebe's eight function model.
I normally only read type books written by Jungian analysts and found this to be a worthy addition to my library that I will refer to regularly. This book helps cross the bridge between popular online typology and Jungian typology.
