Understanding the Type Grid: Vectors and Cognitive Analysis

The August conference focused on utilizing the type grid for effective personality typing through deductive reasoning and various vectors.

### Understanding the Type Grid: Communication and Deductive Reasoning
* 📅 Welcome to the August conference, where we will explore the various ways to **utilize the type grid effectively**, emphasizing the **upcoming documentation release**.
* 👥 Mr. Domes confirmed his participation, and our focus will be on the two primary interaction styles, which will be renamed to **"communication styles"** and **"disposition"** to avoid legal issues.
* 🔍 The type grid includes interaction styles categorized as **structure, starter, finisher, and background**, alongside temperaments like **Guardian, Artisan, Intellectual, and Idealist**, following the model presented in **Plato's Republic**.
* 💡 During the session, we will **build out the type grid** and discuss a **new vector submitted by an audience member**, showcasing a **different approach to using the type grid**.
* 🧠 It is essential to apply both **forward and deductive reasoning** when utilizing the type grid, as many individuals struggle to identify their type by solely relying on their **perceived traits**.
* 🔄 The process of elimination is crucial; by understanding the **communication styles and dispositions**, one can significantly narrow down potential types, demonstrating the importance of **logical deduction in typing**.
* 📊 We will also introduce additional vectors, such as **cognitive axis analysis** and **cognitive orbit**, which can enhance the understanding of **individual cognitive functions** and their applications within the type grid.
* 🧩 Ultimately, mastering the type grid requires recognizing its **absolute nature** and employing both **forward and reverse reasoning** to verify one's type accurately, making it a **powerful tool for personal development and understanding**.

### Understanding Cognitive Axis and Orbit in Typology
* 🧠 The combination of cognitive axis analysis and quadras helps narrow down personality types to **four choices** by eliminating others based on **specific functions**.
* 🔍 Once reduced to four types, one can analyze communication styles and dispositions, such as whether a person is **direct or informative**, further refining the options.
* 🔄 The distinction between control and movement types, where **control types focus on outcomes** and **movement types prioritize processes**, is crucial in identifying specific personality types.
* 🌌 Cognitive orbit, a more complex concept, describes how functions interact within a person's cognitive structure, with the **activation of one function impacting another**, similar to **gravitational effects in space**.
* 🌠 Primary orbit involves the interaction between the **hero function** and its corresponding **nemesis**, illustrating how behaviors are influenced by these **cognitive dynamics**.
* ⚖ An understanding of cognitive orbit can significantly aid in typing individuals, especially those who are **older and more integrated**, by observing their reactions to specific stimuli related to their **cognitive functions**.
* 📊 The analysis can eliminate many types based on observed behaviors, such as an ESFP's **sensitivity to having their choices taken away**, thereby narrowing down possibilities effectively.
* ❓ Questions about the application of cognitive orbit and its relationship to other cognitive functions can lead to **deeper insights into personality typing and behavioral understanding**.

okay, all right, cool. Uh, so welcome to the August conference. Um, and uh, go ahead and mute yourself, Mr. Dominic. Uh, and then you can, uh, there you go, cool, awesome. So today we're gonna be talking about basically how to use the type grid. Uh, and Mr. Domes, can you confirm that you're listening? Um, because I was hoping alongside this. Um, uh, okay, yes, you are listening because I saw you unmuted yourself, so it's good to go. Yeah, you're good to go. Um, so uh, we've been working on like how to use the type grid, and there's a lot of vectors with which the type grid that we haven't even talked about. So I really want this recording, uh, for this, uh, CSJ conference for August, uh, to actually have something to do with the how to use the type grid, uh, documentation that we're actually going to be releasing. So we're going to be talking about various vectors with which can be done, uh, to achieve that. Uh, So currently right now we're aware of the

two main ways, uh, uh, interaction styles, which we're actually be changing that over to communication styles, so we don't get sued, uh, same thing with, uh, uh, temperament. We're going to be changing that to disposition, basically, so we don't get sued, uh, and those are going to be some of the first few, uh, things that are going to be applied to the typ grid, um, or they actually already are applied to the typ grid when it gets re-released. And obviously, we have interaction styles being, you know, structure, starter, finisher, and background, and then also for, uh, uh, temperaments, we have, uh, Guardian, Artisan, Intellectual, and Idealist, etc., following Plato's Republic, uh, uh, model, uh, presented, uh, by the Greeks. So, that's great. Those are just two, literally just two, um, two ways of going about it. So, I'm going to share my screen and go into whiteboard mode here. We're actually going to start. I'm going to build out a type grid, and we're going to actually list out each of the different vectors that are available, and

Interestingly enough, a member of the audience actually created a new Vector for use on their own, and they submitted it to me. I'm also going to be sharing that particular Vector with you folks today as well because I think it's very interesting, and it gives you an opportunity to use the type Grid in a completely different way than we have previously. So, let's see how I could do that. Share whiteboard. Awesome. And can you guys see my whiteboard here? Let's see here. Awesome. Let's do a different color. Okay, so I'm just going to fill out the type grid right here. So, ESTJ, and then we have ESTP, and then ENTJ, and then FJ, and we have ESFJ. So, as I'm filling this out, remember when you're using the type grid, you're supposed to try to basically utilize it in the form of deductive reasoning, right? Because you can still type somebody not necessarily by identifying

them forwards, but you can also identify them backwards. And that's one thing that I think a lot of the members of this community have yet to realize, is how you could use logic to use deductive reasoning to eliminate choices on the type grid to figure out who you are. Everyone's trying to use the type grid from a proof-positive point of view, where it's like, Well, I know I have these traits, so I am this. That's not necessarily good enough. You need to use two different ways, so forward reasoning and then deductive reasoning for deduction. Because if you don't do that, you're not really verifying what you believe in terms of the type grid itself. And that's one of the biggest challenges that we've had, especially when doing coaching sessions with people, because they're too busy saying, Hey, I have these traits, and then, This is obviously what type I am. But the reality situation, that's not actually true. That's really not actually the case. So here's the structure types and

then the starters and then the finishers and the backgrounds. Can everyone see the Whiteboard appropriately? I'm just double-checking here on that. Yes, cool, awesome. Be writing a little bit to the uh the right as well. Um, so Artisans, intellectuals, and then the idealists. Okay, so this is a standard type grid. Now, granted, we have um, we have uh communication styles um, as the first vector, and that's where you try to identify um, you know, if your structure starter, finisher, background, etc. And then there's also um, so there's four styles and then three um, three points of testing. Now, the fact that it's three is very useful because when you have, when you're able to like test if you, is this direct initiating control, right, or is this uh, is this inform initiating movement. You have three points. If you get two, it still counts towards that. If you have just one, not necessarily, because that could, that one could apply to other locations as well, because two of these are movement-based and two of these are control-based. Two of them are

informative. Two of them are direct, for example, so you can't just survive on one identifier. So, three points of identifications or identifiers that go in for communication styles. Well, guess what? It's the same thing for disposition. It's the exact same thing because, on a disposition standpoint, you have the four temperaments, etc. And then, you have three identifiers each. Great, pretty standard. Everyone is aware of that. Now, what you could do is you have to treat this like times tables. Okay, so hey, I know my guy is informative. This is excellent. So, if we're informative, that automatically eliminates these types here. And then, so we've just gotten rid of, we've just eliminated eight types because, you know, there's informative. Okay, well, I know that they're actually movement. Okay, well, we've just eliminated yet another four types. Great. So, just using the interaction style vector and identifying that they're a started vector, you've eliminated 12 types, and you're down to

four right and then you eliminate their disposition, or you don't even have to do this. You is actually, uh, well, I mean, they're definitely not, uh, abstract. So, you've just eliminated half the types just by that. They're not abstract, and, uh, well, I don't think they're systematic either. So, you just eliminated 12 types right there. And you know they're an artisan, right? But what happens when you combine both ways of doing things? Well, you've eliminated, uh, x amount of types down here. You've already eliminated these types down here because of informative and direct, right? So, they're not direct, but they are informative, um, and then they're not responding. And then all of a sudden, you know this person's an ESFP, right, through logical deduction. Why do people have such a hard time getting doing it this way? The reason why is because they don't first believe that the type grid is law, basically. They don't first have, they have to first come to the belief, the truth, that the type grid is absolute. It

is law. It's. It is a fact. The typ grid itself is like the laws of thermodynamics, like entropy. It just is. The sooner they can come to that conclusion, the better, because then they realize that instead of trying to identify their type by saying, Okay, well, I know I'm movement, so I'm automatically these, so instead of it becoming an elimination game, it's a positive game, and they're like, Oh, well, I know I'm this, these types here because I know I'm movement, right? But I also know I'm extract abstract, so I automatically know I'm one of these four. Okay, well, I'm abstract and I'm movement, but I'm always focused on what I can get out of things and whatever, so that makes me interest-based. So, that means I'm automatically U, one of these two. Um, and then I'm like, 'Okay, well, am I informative or am I direct?' Oh, I'm informative, so that means I'm an ENFP, right? And that's how they use the type.

grid from that direction, so they do it through like, uh, forward relim, forward elimination versus reverse elimination, but it's all deductive reasoning. Here's the problem: both ways are incorrect unless you do both ways. You have to do it both. If you can't test a type grid going forwards and backwards at the same time with any of the main vectors, um, uh, then you're wrong. The reason why you have to do it backwards and forwards through your elimination is because you're trying to prove to yourself that your first result is correct. If you're doing it backwards, well, your result, great, you got a great result, but you got to do it again, but this time you got to do it forwards, okay? Verify it again. Does it still work going the other direction like multiplication tables do, right? You know, 8 * 8 is 64. It doesn't matter which direction you're coming from, from the left or the right, you're still going to get the same end result, 64. It doesn't matter when you're using a

multiplication table. It's the same kind of thing with a type grid. You're getting the same result, so you have to use forward reasoning and reverse reasoning when you're deducing which type you are, but you have to do it twice to really know. Here's the difference, though. There are, guess what, other ways of doing this. So, there is the um, so these are communication styles forwards. We'll put a plus sign disposition style forwards, but there's also Comm Style backwards, just negative, and then there's also disposition um negative. So, let's talk about these two new vectors uh with the typ grid and what do they actually mean. Think about it. What types have XYZ traits but are missing other traits? Okay, so um, let's see if I can actually um pull up a bookmark of mine. See here. Okay, so you look at it this way. What types are not direct initiating control, right? What types are not direct initiating in control, uh, and then um, no direct responding movement, uh, no informative initiating movement, you know, and no inform responding.

control okay, but then you have the temperaments going across as well, right? Reverse temperaments, right? So, I'm going to give you guys a photo that was provided to me in the chat, and I'm actually going to change my share from the Whiteboard. So, I'm going to stop the share. I'm going to share again, and this time I'm going to share this image provided to me by a member of the audience. All right, can everyone see this picture now? Okay, so if you notice this picture, this is a completely different way of looking at the type grid, right? So, you have the types that are not informative, initiating movement. Then you have non-informative, responding control. So, you have responding on the corners, you have initiating on the corners on both sides, but then you also have movement on the right side and control on the left side, basically, right? But they are what they are not, okay? So, this is a completely different way of looking at the type grid and using the type grid to eliminate.

types reverse or positive, basically by just simply looking at which communication style they don't have and which disposition, AKA temperament, that they don't have. All right, so what this provides is there two additional vectors with which to look at the type grid just based off of this way. Now, I got to give credit to where it's due because the person who came up with this is a member of the audience. My goodness, need to turn off my thing here. Let's see, turn off notifications please. Quit fast enough apparently. Okay, so all right, so with that being said, um, it's important to understand that you know you have this option available to you as well. Now, this person you know labeled this Discord or uh dynamic or successor and inceptor. Inceptor being uh people who are um I think it's like um like they're trying to change perception etc. Uh change thinking for for the most part. Uh Dynamics to try to always keep things fresh. I don't necessarily agree with these names actually. I don't but still

uh, the way that they're being presented is a way that actually fundamentally works when you apply logic directly to the type grid. Now, I understand that uh, this makes the type grid to look like a completely different other typ grid. I get that, that's fair, but the difference is, is that when you're looking at, okay, which types are not direct initiating control or not resp, you know, or um, and have their uh, you know, their temperaments going out in that way, it's like, okay, what are the not, and then it allows you to again slowly eliminate and then uh, pinpoint exactly which type you are with the typ grid, right? That's just one way of doing it. Let's go back to the Whiteboard. All right, so we have the Whiteboard back, um, and as you can see, we have these particular uh, we have these four vectors, but here's additional vectors here. We have cognitive axis analysis, okay, and then another Vector after that. We have quadras, quadras uh, analyzing quadras, and this is what we've done typically like

On the how to type live streams, we usually just focus on communication styles, dispositions, cognitive access analysis, and quadras. There's another vector, this one's really hard but possible, cognitive orbit. Now, what's great about cognitive orbit is that if you're actually able to pull off a cognitive orbit, which is very hard for my own personal skill level, it's really hard for me to do. I wouldn't expect people to be able to do cognitive orbit. I'm still playing with it. I'm still memorizing it, basically is what I'm saying, but cognitive orbit is really hard. So, let's talk about how cognitive orbit actually works. Okay, well, actually, let's talk about cognitive axis and quadras and then cognitive orbit, right? So, we have cognitive axis, and then for perception functions, we have NE plus SI, and then we have SE plus NI, okay? And then we have judging, which is TE plus FI, and then we have, I'll actually do FE plus TI, okay? So,

axis analysis, and let's look at it this way, in terms of quadras. Okay, so quadras, you have SFJ plus NTP. Okay, and then you have STP plus NFJ. And then you have SFP plus NTJ. And then STJ plus NFP. So these are the quadrants, super important. So COG access analysis is like super important because when you're talking to somebody, their sentences actually equal to a cognitive access. So the reason why is because, you know, when someone says, I like that idea, which cognitive axis is that coming from? I like that idea. Would someone like to, would someone from the conference like to answer that question? I like that idea. Which column of access is that statement? TFI? That is correct because you're literally saying, um, you're literally saying, I like that idea. When you're saying that idea, it's a TE statement. Okay? When you're saying I like, it's an FI statement. However, when someone says, I like what I think, very different. Okay? That could

actually be applied to both in the judging because to think is a judgment right. It's either what they think or what I think. However, when you say I feel, I feel is typically an Fi statement, although it can be an Fe statement because what is their feelings based on? When you say I feel, your feelings are based on what people generally feel as a thing, or they also say uh or I like something based on or I feel about something based on how they as an individual feel. It's like it's like an SE user. The SE user is saying, You know, well, I'm uncomfortable about this. You think that's an SI statement, but in reality, they're an SE User. It's because the SE is reacting to something how anyone in general would react to something because they're all about reactions. The Knowing reactions of people psychologically speaking, they just know in general how people react and how things would be sensitive to others, but they just assume that's how they are sensitive. They're placing their own s, their own sensitivity within a

crowd of people who might be sensitive to something. It's a generalization, just like an extroverted thinker, uh, like a few people on this call, uh, think about things how people would in general. It's not what they think themselves individually, so when they say the word I think, it's actually about people, what people think in general. This is why I call exerted thinking right here. This is why I call it group think, because it really literally is group think. It's how people think in general, right? So the thing is, is that te also could be like stats, and sometimes you have, there's good stats and there's bad stats. It could also mean value, and there's good value, good being fi. The word good is fi, okay? So good stats versus bad stats, it's like, you know, um, someone on the call here is a business owner, and they're like, Oh, these are really good numbers. We're having a really good quarter right now, right? He's literally saying how he feels about the numbers, and it's how he, the individual, feels.

feel good about these good numbers, these good sales results, this quarterly report, or this good current ratio. Current ratio ratio is also te so it's why te users are very good. Financial are financially capable. So why people like domesday. Domesday is an infp. They can become very capable day traders specifically because of te. Te lets them keep track and because they know the value of things. It's all about value. It's all about weighing things out. Everything is weighed out to an extroverted thinker. Everything. It's kind of like when you had back in the day, you had weights, right? You have to put a certain amount of gold to equal a weight on a scale in order to buy something from somebody. And provided that the scale or the weights were not fake, the gold itself, as long as that person was honest, that gold would, you know, the value that's attached, the value that's attached to that gold, that buying power basically is a human interpretation, right? Which is extroverted thinking versus introverted.

feeling that's why gold has intrinsic value and paper money does not. Although paper money itself is propaganda, paper M like propaganda is also te. Why is that? Because paper money or the value of things are nothing more than opinions, right? They're nothing more than opinions. So you have your own feeling based on the opinions of others, but then you also are opinionated. This is why te users I don't maintain as thinkers. I think them as opinions basically. They're all about opinion. It's not about what's actually true or false. They claim exert thinkers claim that certain things are true and false because they feel good about an opinion that's readily or widely accepted. And if it's widely accepted, how couldn't it be true basically, right? It's extroverted thinking. It's not actually truth. It's just an opinion, right? So you can use cognitive AIS analysis to pick out sentences that people say when they start talking about belief or opinions. You know, I feel good about these numbers or that's a good price. The sentence that's

a good price is a fit statement. Okay, um, you know, or when someone says, I think that's a good price, that's a TIF statement because it has I think for TI. I think that's a good. I think that's a good, right? Or I feel that's a good. I feel that's a good, right? So it's completely different. So you have to be aware of these things. This is why it's possible, using cognitive access analysis alone, a robot, an AI system could be developed to actually extract people's cognitive axes directly from their text messages on social media or anything they post on Twitter or Facebook at any given time. It's really easy to do. You just have to know how to code these different things using statistical models, and then boom, there you have it, right? In fact, there's already a system in development for that, so something to be aware of, right? Logic. Logic is a big deal because logic is different. It's like if this, then that. If this, then that. Everything is compared with one reference point instead of a

series of reference points. The reference point is true versus false; that is one reference point compared to another. A user compares from a reference point from many directions, right? So, they make these statements. Well, let's look at perception. Perception is about experiences or things that are happening in SpaceTime. It's all about occurrences or what's happening or what's going to happen or what has happened, right? Perception is nothing more than someone's personal location or other people's personal location in SpaceTime. That's all it is. It's a human being's awareness of SpaceTime. That is perception. So, three-dimensional space and when and when did it happen, where and when and where did it happen, where will it happen. Okay, um, where did it happen is SE, okay? When will it happen? Uh, where did it happen to those people or to that person as Essie. When will it happen is NE, right? Um, or when do I want it to happen? That's NI, right? Or it happened to me. That's SI.

okay now how do you get it to an axis? How do you convert it to an axis? You convert it into an axis by doing statements like this: Hey, I really like that place fit uh because I had such a great experience there. You are going to want to do it too. That's an SI NE statement. Or I'm not comfortable with doing that. I know you want me to do that and E. I'm not comfortable SI. Okay, that's an N SI statement. Okay SE and I is like oh I see what you're doing there. I want to do it with you. That's an SE. I see what you're doing which is SE. I want to do it with you. That's ni right. Or wow that person made a bad mistake or they made a bad choice. I'm not making that choice. That's an ni statement right. And then um or I don't know why people want to do that. I don't know why people want to go buy that car. I used to own that car. That car sucked. That's an SI statement saying

that other people don't want to have that experience that that person had. Okay, so you could literally break down sentences people say into cognitive axes. So, let's say you're looking at an essay, okay, that someone is saying of a thousand words, okay, okay, and how they're explaining it. You look at each sentence and you determine which on the cognitive axis, and sometimes there's multiple axes occurring per sentence, and you write them all down. You circle various areas of the essay, and you write down which cognitive axis is applied to it, and eventually you'll see that there is a majority axis for one P or one J axis. There's two J axes and two P axes, okay, and eventually you'll see that one P axis and one J axis are very prevalent within the document itself, okay, or this could be an audio recording or a video recording of some kind or movie. You can pull out cognitive axes, and then you write down how many times you see of each axis, and whichever is the most for P and

whichever is the most for J becomes their axis. And then once you have identified their axis, so let's look at it this way, let's look at purple here. Okay, we see that this person is saying SE and we found out that they're also a tefi user. Okay, so that means they have these functions, these four functions. The majority of the time, they're using these four functions. Well, guess what type has SFI, TE, NI in the top four functions? Well, it's SFP, NTJ, Quadra. Okay, these four types have these four functions. This is why people who are ESFPs, that's why they think they're ENTJs, because ENTJs have the same four functions as ESFPs, right? So why is this important to the typ grid? Well, how is this Rel? Well, if you can identify their cognitive AIS, check this out. Let's assume that we have no idea what their J Aises, and we just know that they're an SCNI user, and that's it. Well, let's go to the

typ grid if we only know they're an scni user. That means they are not this type, they're not this type, they're not this type, they're not this type, they're not this type, they're not this type, they're not this type, they're not this type type. You know, oh wait, they are isfp. Excuse me, uh, they're not this type, and they're not this type. Okay, so we've just eliminated half of the types by identifying one axis. You see how important this is now with the type Grid. It's pretty important, huh? If you can eliminate, if you can just identify one axis that they're using primarily, you've just eliminated half the types. Okay, and let's say you identify the tefi axis. So then let's get rid of all the tefi, uh, the ti users, which they are not from the typ grid. Well, they can't be that, you know, um, they can't be that, they can't be that, um, and they can't be that, which means oops, um.

yeah, here we go, which means they can only be SFPS. See, we have two SFPS here and NJS. Oh, SFP, NTJ, Quadra. Oh, all these people with these same functions that are showing up in the cognitive axes, right? Okay, this is how you use cognitive axis analysis combined with quadras to identify types. So then, so is this any good? Well, here's the thing. When you're doing cognitive axis plus quadras together, it will really only bring you to these four choices, okay, where you are able to see. I just eliminated all those types, and I've got them down to four. And then, once you reduce it down to four, you just go over to communication styles and disposition, okay? Or is this person direct? Yes, okay, well, they're direct. Great. We automatically know they're not these because they're informative. Raise it down to two, okay? Um, well, they're both abstract. Yeah, that's abstract. So, they're both here still. They're both systematic. So, they're both still here, okay? So, automatically, ENTEs, because we know they're

intellectuals because they're both systematic and whatnot, which means we have to use communication style to figure out which one they are. Because we know they're not Artisans, we know they're intellectuals, but which communication styles? Well, they're both direct. Well, that's hard. Okay, well, one's initiating and one's responding. One's control and one's movement. If this guy's control, that means he's outcome-focused, right? It's all about the outcome. Okay, it's all about the outcome. And then we have the INTJ, which is more so about the process. How are we going to get there? See, control types are all about the why. Movement types are all about the how. Movement types don't really care so much about the goal as long as they get somewhere. Control types care about the how or care about the why. They just don't care how they get there. That's the big difference between control versus movement, outcome versus process. Okay, and then we found out that this person is definitely outcome-focused, so there can only be an

entj basically. So, when you combine cognitive access analysis to quadras, you will eliminate 12 types at most to get to four, and then you use communication styles and disposition to solve for the final four, basically. So, use the vectors in that regard. Now, we already talked about how to use the, or we already talked about communication and style and dispositions from the point of, you know, like that photo that was provided. I haven't delved deep enough in that. I just know it's another vector. That's why I'm listing it here. I mean, I'm still learning too as much as everyone else is, but it is an additional vector to the type grid. That's why I'm listing it, even though I haven't fleshed it out quite yet. So now, let's go into the really, really hard one, the really, really hard one, which is cognitive orbit. And this one's really hard because I've barely talked about it, and it's really, I mean, I could do it pretty fine, but other people, it's a

struggle, so let's get rid of these marks here. You know what, actually, I'm just going to use the eraser. Okay, kind of orbit draw, and let's do blue this time. Cognitive conni of orbit. So, let's look at a, uh, let's look at an ESFP, shall we? Let's look at an ESFP. I'm in the mood for ESFP land today. So, we have SE, FI, TE, NI. Okay, that's the first four of their ego. Okay, what happens when we look at the unconscious? We end up having SI, FE, TI, NE, E. Okay, here's the difference. We know with cognitive axis analysis that these functions are connected together in a certain way. So, using the red, let's put in the axis. So, SI is always connected with NE, right? And TI is always connected to FE, right? And then we have NI always connected to SE, and FI always con to T. Those are cognitive axes. We've already talked about those. But what happens when we talk about cognitive orbit? Well, the SE is connected

to the SI, and it goes in both directions. It's a two-way street, okay? SE is connected to the FI. Well, same thing here, all the way across. They are also connected. Same thing here. They are also connected. What this does is it creates something called cognitive orbit activation, something that will need to be added to the glossary, of course. All of these things are activations, so all these things, think of them as like planets or atoms or protons, electrons, um, you know, spinning around each other, right? Cognitive orbit is what affects one, affects the other, okay? So we know that axis cognitive axis, which we have, which is really hard to see for some reason because I decided to use red ink like a madman. I should probably not use red ink. Um, let's just add some green in here for a nice little Christmas effect because why not. H um, I to like green. Um, so we got our cognitive axes in there, but let's look at the orbit. What's with the orbit? Why does it matter? Now, obviously, in cognitive axis, what affects

one affects the other because it's coming out in our sentences, right? It comes out with how we communicate, it comes out with how we behave, right? You know how we do our sentences, how we perceive things, how we make decisions. The kind of orbit is something a little bit different. What happens to one function in an orbit automatically impacts another. So, right here we have a hero function, okay? So, what affects this hero automatically affects this Nemesis function over here, okay? Now, I granted they're not stacked on top of each other like one would expect, so that means that this is the parent, this is the child, this is the inferior. Over here we have the critic, the trickster, and then we have the demon, okay? So, what affects one affects the other. I think the best example of cognitive orbit out there, and by the way, this is what we call primary orbit. This is primary, this is primary orbit, something that needs to be written down, understood. This is primary orbit. We're going to talk about secondary orbit in a second, but primary

orbit what affects one of these affects the other. Okay, so extroverted sensing hero, when it's giving a good experience to others, it makes the introverted sensing Nemesis more comfortable. If the introverted sensing Nemesis is uncomfortable, they need to find somebody else and make that person comfortable so that the SI Nemesis can be comfortable itself. Okay, let's look at the critic. The critic does not like being guilted into things. It's feeling guilted, which automatically makes the person feel bad because it's being guilted. Wait a minute, this is a problem. This is a serious problem. Why? Well, let's look at a different color, a horse of a different color here. You know, let's just do brown. Let's look at the color of fecal matter, shall we? Um, notice we have Fi, which is sympathy. Notice we have Fe, which is empathy. Don't you get tired of all those people whining about the difference between sympathy and empathy? They can't tell the difference. It's so annoying. Why

is that why is that guys why well let's take a look at an INFP, shall we? Fi hero, Ne parent, Si child, Te inferior, okay? And then we have Fe Nemesis. Wait just a minute, but this is sympathy, Mr. CS Joseph, right? It is sympathy. Well, this is empathy, Mr. C. Joseph. You're right, it is empathy, Mr. C. Joseph. Does that mean an INFP is capable of feeling sympathy and empathy simultaneously? Yes, yes, that's exactly what that means. The question is, which one's primary? Primarily, INFPs feel sympathy. They are capable of feeling empathy for people, and they mostly are motivated to do it because they're worried that they're selfish. They're worried that they're not giving enough, so they are empathetic to other people, and then they mislabel it with their little Te inferior belief system that it's sympathy because they're used to giving sympathy with their introverted feeling hero because their Si has created a habit, because Si is all about habit. This is why Se users have a hard

time making habits. It's no different. It's literally the same thing, gentlemen and ladies. Because see, this is why you have INFPs out there complaining that, Oh, I'm definitely empathetic. I'm an empath. No, you're a sympath who just happens to be empathic sometimes, and you only do it from a negative, worried filter because you're worried that you're not caring enough because you already know that you're pretty selfish. That's why these people think that they know the difference between sympathy and empathy when they really don't. They think they're being sympathetic, but they aren't. You have to understand, guys, every human being, doesn't matter regardless of type, you are capable of feeling sympathy and empathy. You're capable of it. It's just which one is more than the other. The one that is more makes you the sympath. If your Fi is more, if your Fe is more, it makes you an empath and empathic. That's why I laugh every time, like my INTJ who's

like, oh, I'm an empath, and I'm like, no, you're not. You're a sympath. You actually don't understand anything about this. I'm sorry, but that's a fact, right? You know, so primary orbit. Let me erase this here because I want to. Don't want this too cluttered. Don't want this too cluttered. So awesome primary orbit. What affects one function affects the other. Let's look at it this way. What happens when an inferior has its choice taken away? If I go up to an ESFP and I take away their choice, guess what happens? The demon immediately activates because of the orbit, the inferior function where a person's fear exists. Fear can lead to violence from the demon. Oh, are you enslaving me? You're taking away my choice. Fine. Nobody gets a choice. If I don't get a choice, nobody does. That is an inferior versus any demon of an ESFP. All right? If someone takes away my choice, no one gets choice. No one. I and and why when you ask the

esfp why that is. They're like, I spend all this time making everybody else so comfortable with my SE hero, and I am choosing to make other people comfortable and have shared experiences with them and doing things with them and make them comfortable and making sure their life is not boring and go out on my way for this, and you have the audacity to take away my choice. Great, no one gets a choice. Oh, look, that's a cognitive axis. The cognitive axis feeds into the cognitive orbit. Look at it this way. Here's your axis, here's your orbit. Look, it's a yin and yang equilibrium, also known as because the original AR robus was a yin and yang and a robus. What affs one affects the other. The axis, I'm going out of my way to make you really, really comfortable because I want to do that. I want to make you as comfortable as possible. I want to have shared experiences with you. I want to have your attention. Essie absorbs others' inent attention. Essie needs attention. If Essie does not have

attention. They feel unwanted, like as if they're not cool enough to have shared experiences with, and it's like, and then they feel obligated, and then because of that, it's like as if their choice is being taken away from them. I've done all these great things for you, and now you're taking away my choice, really? Well, then you get my any demon. I'm gonna take away everyone's choice. No one gets a choice until I do, because I have gone out of my way to make you as comfortable as possible, right? That's the worst part of anfp. That's where an esf's sin nature or Human Condition comes from. Everyone has something like that, so that's an orbit, that's a cognitive orbit when you have the inferior function and the ne function. So knowing orbits, you can know up to eight, four to eight different behaviors within a human being, because what affects one function in the ego affects the other in the unconscious and vice versa, for a total of four vectors, primary orbits, which is ego to

unconscious secondary Orit orbit, which is unconscious to Ego, eight possible vectors of cognitive orbit. In each of these cognitive orbits, okay, you can identify specific behaviors. So, if you want to identify someone's type, go for their Gateway functions. It's very easy. Gateway functions are the easiest functions to go for because they're pretty used, they're necessary for cognitive transition. Go up to that ESFP and take away their choice or make them perceive they're taking away their choice and see how they behave. Oh, this person is really, really sensitive about having their freedom taken away from them. That means they could only, that means they have Ni inferior, which means they could only be these two types here, ESFP and ESTP. They can only be those two types. You've just eliminated 14 of 16 types just off of that alone. But it's a lot of information to keep track of. It's really complicated. Cognitive orbit is really, really complicated. It's really hard when there's communication styles and disposition and cognitive axis and

quadras. Why would you spend so much time doing cognitive orbit? Ah, there is a use case for it. The use case for using cognitive orbit is when you are talking to someone in their 60s, and they're so well integrated and so mature. And the older the person is, the harder it is to do that. It doesn't matter what communication style or disposition or cognitive AIS or quad you go to, because they're able to cognitive transition so easily between the four sides of their mind because of how integrated they are. It's really hard to tell which one is their ego, which is how we determine which their type is by identifying the ego. It's really, really hard. So then your only option then is to use cognitive orbit to try to eliminate it further, because you'll identify their Quadra, and then you'll identify the Quadra of also their subconscious, because they're bouncing back and forth between their ego and their subconscious, and you can't tell, you can't, right? Or they're bouncing back and forth from

their uh unconscious. Maybe both of them, maybe all of them. So hard to tell. Well, how do you do that? Well, cognitive orbit is another way for you to verify that what it is. So, you basically, you do a behavior targeting a specific kind of function. It doesn't matter which of the eights, and you see. So, you're literally shoving information into a function to see how it comes back to you, basically. That's cognitive orbit. It's like, uh, it's like the slingshot effect, uh, that, uh, you know, when you're orbiting a planet and use it, taking advantage of its gravity to accelerate yourself around the planet to come back at a different trajectory. Could be back towards the Earth, using the gravity of the Moon to slingshot, uh, a space probe or spaceship back to the Earth, right? That slingshot effect by using gravity. It's literally the same thing with cognitive orbit analysis. You are throwing information at a cognitive function as if that function is a planet. The information swings around the planet, and it comes back to

you in a different form, and depending on how it comes back to you in that form, it exhibits a certain behavior. And you know where in their cognitive orbits do they lie between secondary orbits or um between secondary orbits or uh U primary orbits, and that will help you identify, okay, which of these two types they have to be. And then you go through everything again against those two types by identifying that one function. But here's the thing: you can keep sending information with their cognitive orbits and hit different functions, different planets basically, to get that slingshot effect to come back to you. And then all of the sudden, you're actually able to see, eliminate even more types from the type grid, such that you finally arrive at the conclusion as to which type they actually are, even if they are a 70-year-old person who's super integrated and super mature and super happy in their life. It's really, really hard to type an elderly person who is happy, really hard. It's hard but possible because they've just become so

integrated. They've become so changed over time, it makes it really, really hard, right? So, that's cognitive orbit analysis. That's how you do it. It's just a lot of information to keep track of, right? This is the advanced of the advanced of the advanced in typing somebody. This is why publicly I've only really provided the communication styles and the disposition temperaments in the form of the type grid to people so that they just use those two vectors because predominantly that's really all you need. But as people get older and more advanced and more integrated, it becomes a problem because, wow, I can't tell if they're cognitive transitioning or not. That's when it's hard to type people. This is why people get so pissed off at me when I suggest that my Lunas is actually an INJ. They get really mad. Did you guys know that Jessica Alba is an INJ? Yeah, I never thought you'd see, hear that, to see that coming, but it's true. She's an INJ. Munas is an INJ, but she's cognitive.

transition during the interviews as an ESFP because that's a subconscious. That's why you have to go deeper with these other vectors around the typ grid to be able to utilize a typ grid properly. You can always default to deductive reasoning to find out how it works. You can always default to that. So excellent. Um, that concludes the lecture component of this conference. I'd like to open it up to questions now, uh, from, uh, who we have on this, uh, on this thing here. So I'm going to stop sharing this, um, and, and I'm going to, uh, open up the questions right now regarding, uh, vectors, uh, for the type grid. We, uh, showed seven vectors today. There is an eighth vector, but I am not willing to speak of it today. It is way too advanced and definitely not something, uh, to be talked about later. It's something that I talk about, like with me, certain members of my team, uh, but definitely not something we'll be talking about now. But, um, and honestly, when we re-release the

tit grid. It will be just the seven vectors and not the eighth one. Uh, so any questions regarding today's presentation that we've done so far? Anyone can raise their hand or just start talking. I'm cool with that. So, you talked about primary and secondary orbit. Um, is there any like orbit between other sides of the mind than just ego and unconscious? Kind of uh, the answer to that is yes, but it manifests in a way. Um, it manifests in a way that's a little bit different. For example, you hear me talk about concepts known as the Demonic child. Basically, the Demonic Childs. And I was not actually prepared to talk about this today, but good question. I'll answer it. Yes, Kayla's all smiles today, so is Mr. Domes. Um, all right, four sides of the mind, right? Imagine the four sides are actually, you know what, I'll whiteboard it because why not? Why not? Why not whiteboard it? I'm going back to the whiteboard here, and I'm actually just going to pull

out my eraser and erase it because why not, why not racing. I'm bad at racing. You know those people when they're erasing the whiteboard and their ass is shaking as they do it? That's like literally what I'm doing right now. No, I'm just playing. Uh, all right, so uh, we're racing tons of stuff. Oh, what if, what if, what if you just wipe the whole at one hit? Oh, okay, well that would make a lot of sense. I don't know how to do that. Oh yeah, oh the clear button. Uh, clear. Okay, thanks, the clear button. Thank you for pointing out the obvious because as an ENTP, I don't understand obvious. I'm not an SE user. SE users are all about obvious. Okay, okay, so four sides of the mind. Um, it's funny because I was actually, this is actually part of season 17, episode five. So you're going to get a little bit of preview of the next lecture that's coming out. Um, so let's look at this. Uh, again, ESFP. I'm very ESFP focused right now. There's

a reason for that. It does not necessarily have anything to do with certain people who are on the conference right now. I promise. It's actually because of a lecture. I'm actually be looking at ESFP pretty hard in the lecture. And then we have NT, FI, NI, TF, SI. Okay. And then over here, we're going to have NE, TI, FI, IN, TE, FI, SE. And can anyone guess which types these are? Oh, actually, it's pretty obvious, I guess. So this is an ESFP right here, and this is an ENTP, my type right here. What's the relationship between these two types? Can anyone tell me what's the relationship that these two types have? Anyone go ahead and give a guess. It's all good. They're both starters. They are each other's super OS. Yes, they are each other's super Egos, and they also are starters. So both answers are correct technically, but they are each other's

super ego. So, the ENTP down here is in the super ego slot, and the ESFP down here is in the super ego slot. This is also known, according to socionics, the Enigma relationship. Okay, the Enigma relationship, according to socionics, is very, very key. So, um, so what happens for cognitive orbit to the other sides of your mind, right? I talk about something known as the Demonic child, the Demonic child, right? Which is this, right? The Demonic child, when these two functions team up with each other, right? Sometimes functions can also spin on different axes and spin with each other if there is no other function in the way. For example, the demon and the child can also spin, okay? Which is another form of, uh, not really identifying their type, but identifying their maturity level or the level of integration, which is super advanced, and we're not going to talk about that today. This is why I haven't talked about, uh, Loops, cognitive Loop, uh, which is another term for that, uh, uh, book, uh, Mr.

domes cognitive Loop, but it is super advanced, and it's beyond intermediate. We're not even going to be talking about that anytime soon. We'll get to that later. It's another subject for another day. Um, but the demonic child. Uh, so I'll just put that here. Demonic child. What happens to... So we have hero, parent, child, inferior, for example, just do the four top four. What happens if I'm going to take the four sides of a mind and then flip them and change their position, their roles, change their frames of second, change their awareness changes, right? That's what happens. So then you end up having functions and slots that they wouldn't have been before, right? So the demonic hero. The demonic hero occurs after what we call an ego shift. Ego shift. And an ego shift is basically when this here, the super ego, and this here switch places. An ego shift. And it changes everything. It changes everything. When do ego shifts happen? Uh, they happen with times relating to serious trauma, PTSD, which is trauma, but it's serious, serious trauma.

like head trauma, like physical trauma. It can also be psychological trauma, which takes a lot longer, but physical trauma could actually be instantaneous. Psychological trauma, it could take over a decade or two before an ego shift can actually take place, right? It's a serious amount of trauma. So, when the ego shift occurs, the positions change. However, without an ego shift, let's say your ego doesn't shift in the process. Well, guess what? Then the positions don't change, but it could be hello, no, be quiet, Siri. Brites, Siri is talking to me. The Demonic child, you know, ends up things like the Demonic child end up manifesting or the Demonic parent, like because ultimately any function could basically obtain any particular role depending on cognitive orbit, depending on cognitive axis, depending on the positions of the four sides of the Mind as they change, but depending on ego shift, right? So, to answer your question, Mr. Doms.

Introducing, the type grid!

C.S. Joseph

Using the Type Grid: A Step-by-Step Guide

The conference focuses on how to use the type grid, with a discussion on changing terminology to avoid legal issues.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of using both forward and deductive reasoning to identify personality types.

A new vector submitted by an audience member will also be shared, offering a different approach to using the type grid.

Understanding the Type Grid for Personality Typing

The type grid operates like the laws of thermodynamics, and understanding it is crucial for identifying one's personality type.

Using both forward and reverse elimination is essential for verifying the accuracy of the type identification.

The type grid can also be analyzed through additional vectors, such as communication styles and temperaments, to provide a different perspective on personality typing.

Cognitive orbit is a challenging concept to master, but it plays a crucial role in understanding communication styles and cognitive access.

The cognitive axis consists of perception functions (NE + SI, SE + NI) and judging functions (TE + FI, FE + TI).

Analyzing sentences and their corresponding cognitive access can reveal a person's thought process and decision-making based on generalizations and group dynamics.

Identifying Cognitive Axes Through Language

Cognitive axes can be extracted from people's statements, such as "I think" or "I feel," making it possible to analyze their thought processes.

Logic, perception, and personal experiences in SpaceTime play a crucial role in shaping these axes.

By breaking down sentences and identifying recurring cognitive patterns, one can determine a person's dominant cognitive axes, which can then be used to eliminate potential personality types.

Using Cognitive Axis Analysis and Quadras for Typing

Cognitive axis analysis combined with quadras helps narrow down personality types to four choices.

Communication styles and dispositions are then used to further reduce the options, ultimately identifying the type.

Cognitive orbit plays a crucial role, as the functions within the orbit impact each other, creating a dynamic interplay that influences behavior and decision-making.

The Interconnection of Cognitive Functions

The extroverted sensing hero and introverted sensing nemesis are interconnected, with one affecting the other's comfort.

INFPs can feel both sympathy and empathy simultaneously, with sympathy being their primary motivation.

The cognitive orbit concept explains how the inferior function's choice being taken away can trigger the demon function, leading to a cycle of behavior and emotional response.

Cognitive orbit involves eight possible vectors that influence behavior and can help identify someone's type through their Gateway functions.

The analysis is particularly useful for understanding well-integrated and mature individuals, such as those in their 60s.

By targeting specific cognitive functions with information, one can observe the resulting behaviors and gradually eliminate types, ultimately leading to a more accurate identification of an individual's personality type.

The Dynamics of Cognitive Orbit and Ego Shifts

The presentation discusses the four sides of the mind and their relationships, focusing on the ESFP and ENTP types as each other's super egos.

The concept of the Demonic Child is introduced, highlighting how functions can team up and spin on different axes, potentially leading to an ego shift.

Ego shifts, caused by serious trauma, can change the positions and roles of the functions, leading to the manifestation of the Demonic Child or Parent.
