After a diagnostic interview, an analysis of Micah’s answers suggests the 8 IM Elements may best be assigned to the functions of Model A in the following order, making his best fit type the ‘Intuitive Ethical Integrator’ or ‘IEI’. Leading Function - Telos (T1) To Micah, “faith is something that everyone has, so it’s just a matter of what you’re gonna decide to have faith in” . With this view, Micah approaches the fields of film and literature with a near “spiritual” reverence. It is with this reverence that Micah requires a story to be “allowed… to speak through metaphor and imagery” , believing that to do otherwise and overly “preach” the message would not be having faith that it will be interpreted correctly. Micah sees the close identification with literature, and his eventual contribution to it, as his life’s calling.

After a diagnostic interview, an analysis of Ken’s answers suggests the 8 IM Elements may best be assigned to the functions of Model A in the following order, making his best fit type the ‘Logical Sensory Integrator’ or ‘LSI’.

In this way, we can see that Ken feels it is important that information, both when acquired by him and when presented to others, should be clearly defined and explained, reducing any ambiguity in the scope of their interpretation, while allowing himself and the interlocutor to understand the matter with definitional precision. To do...

After a diagnostic interview, an analysis of Ben’s answers suggests the 8 IM Elements may best be assigned to the functions of Model A in the following order, making his best fit type the ‘Intuitive Ethical Energiser’ or ‘IEE’. Leading function – Ideas (I1) The most prevalent theme throughout Ben’s answers to this interview is the sheer breadth of interests he has. From Socionics to music, poetry, education, running, anthropology, linguistics and political debate, Ben repeatedly drew attention to those things that interested him, regardless of whether they were beneficial or not. Furthermore, it became clear that his motivations can be traced back to this capture of interest, and the desire to explore or find out whatever is unusual or new. For instance, his taking on a more authoritative role as a Resident Assistant is described as an exploration of role-play.; his exercise routine of running and weight-lifting, experimenting with music and meditation, a means of seeing potenti...
