Mental functions and psychophysical orientations of human personality in the
context of analytical psychology of Carl Gustav Jung and socionics of Augustinavichjute,
also typological indicator of Myers-Briggs are factors according to which people
perceive world reality and realize own existence. Namely people according to
psychophysical orientations are focused in objective external actuality if are
extraverts, or in subjective private validity if are introverts. And people
according to four mental functions perceive phenomena and processes which exist in the world.
Mental functions form dichotomizing pairs.
Ethics and logics are pair of rational mental functions.
Intuition and сsensory are pair of irrational mental functions.
Also psychophysical orientations of personality are dichotomizing pair of
psychological attributes of introversion and extraversion if to not consider equaversion,
that corresponds to six global categories which form structure of discrete world reality.
Introversion and extraversion - movement and life.
Ethics and logics - energy and matter.
Intuition and sensory - space and time.
Ratio of mental functions and global world categories with numbers in magic
square of Pythagorean numerology are shown on the chart.

Four capital letters S-N-F-T designate mental functions of personality. Four lower-case letters s-t-e-m designate global world categories. Ss - sensory of spaces; Ns - intuition of space; St - sensory of time; Nt - intuition of time; Fe - ethics of energy; Te - logics of energy; Fm - ethics of matter; Nm - logics of matter. |

Parities of psychophysical orientations of personality with categories of
movement and life on the chart are not specified, but can be designated by
capital and lower-case letters E-I-c-g.
Ec - extraversion of movement.
Ic - introversion of movement.
Eg - extraversion of life.
Ig - introversion of life.
Letter s means distance or physical parameter of space.
Letter t is physical designation of time.
Letter e is physical designation of energy.
Letter m means weight or physical parameter of matter.
Letter c means speed or physical parameter of movement.
Letter g designates global world category of life which is not physical size
from the view point of contemporary physics, but this alphabetic character is
derivative of English words GENESIS and GENERATION.
Total six world categories form three dichotomizing pairs.
Life and movement.
Movement and life are interfaced with other global world categories, namely have
projections on all cells of magic square and each number without specification
on the chart.
Human personality according to category of life is involved or not into
objective actuality, namely can be interested participant of public events and
processes, or can be focused in subjective private validity.
Eg - extroverts are involved in objective actuality.
Ig - introverts are not involved in public activity and
focused in subjective private validity.
Human personality according to category of movement shows initiative or inert
attitude to objective actuality, namely initiates events and stimulates
development of processes, or is not initiator and stimulator.
Ec - extroverts are initiative participants of events.
Ic - introverts are shown as inert participants of events.
Energy and matter - not even numbers 1-7-3-9.
Human personality according to category of energy perceives figurative
impressions or semantic values.
Fe - ethical function - perception of figurative energy - number 1.
Te - logic function - perception of sign energy - number 7.
Human personality according to category of matter perceives separate details or
generalized ratios of objects.
Tm - logic function - perception of detailed matter - number 3.
Fm - ethical function - perception of generalized matter - number 9.
For example, perception of literary texts.
Human personality according to logic perception of detailed matter perceives
details or fragments of literary events, but does not realize interrelations of
episodes and combinations of subject lines.
Human personality according to ethical perception of generalized matter
perceives combinations of subject lines and interrelations of episodes, but does
not realize details and fragments of literary events.
Human personality according to logic perception of sign energy does not realize
symbolical meanings and metaphorical senses, but perceives literary texts in
which there are associative ratios of words, namely if content is expressed by
author by means of intricate phrases as in poems of Edgar Allan Poe or Velimir Chlebnicov.
Human personality according to ethical perception of figurative energy perceives
literary texts with symbolical poetic meanings and metaphorical senses which
generate emotional impressions in consciousness, but does not realize complex
semantic values which exist in intricate phrases and associative ratios of words.
Space and time - even numbers 2-6-4-8.
Human personality according to category of space perceives concrete measurements
or speculative abstract projections of spatial coordinates.
Ss - sensory function - perception of concrete space - number 6.
Ns - intuitive function - perception of abstract
speculative space - number 2.
Human personality according to category of time perceives contemporary
chronological interval which is synchronized with present validity, or
perception can be directed in potential prospects of past and future chronology.
St - sensory function - perception of valid time - number 4.
Nt - intuitive function - perception of potential time - number 8.
For example, perception of literary texts.
Human personality according to intuitive perception of potential time perceives
plot of a book according to descriptions of preconditions and prospective
consequences of literary events, but does not realize content if chronology of
subject lines and episodes is absent.
Human personality according to sensory perception of valid time perceives
literary content outside of imaginative chronology of subject lines and
episodes, or otherwise to tell outside of temporal duration and sequence of events.
Human personality according to intuitive perception of abstract space realizes
or in other words imagines in imagination literary scene of events as systematic
scheme where plot develops.
Human personality according to sensory perception of concrete space realizes
literary events and plot of a book without imagined spatial projections.
Number 5.
Dichotomizing pairs of global world categories according to number 5 in the
central cell of magic square can be integrated, namely human person can perceive
contrast parameters of sign and figurative energy, or detailed and generalized
matter, or concrete and abstract space, or potential and valid time as united
single whole.
It is possible to tell that latent mental functions of human personality can be
accessible to comprehension according to number 5 in the center of magic square.
Look information about realized and latent unrealized mental functions of
human personality on the fifth page in this section of website.
It is necessary to tell that global world categories can not be correlated
directly with gods of Greek mythology, namely it is impossible to speak that
Apollo is potential time or Artemis personifies abstract space, because each
deity possesses perception of all categories. But however each mythological god
within magic square of numerological numbers corresponds with any one global
category which is leading, and others are minor.
Also it is necessary to tell that mental functions of human personality from the
view point of socionics have other designations and comparison to global world
categories rather than within magic square in the context of analytical
numerology, that is shown in the table.

Black sensory actually is intuition of space.
White intuition actually is sensory of time.
Black ethics actually is logics of energy.
White logics actually is ethics of matter.
Namely Augustinavichjute in socionics described direct parities of mental
functions with global world categories.
Sensory - space.
Intuition - time.
Ethics - energy.
Logics - matter.
But actually such scientific concept is doubtful, because mental functions of
human personality and global world categories are not identical.
Sensory function - perception not only space but also time.
Intuitive function - perception not only time but also space.
Ethical function - perception not only energy but also matter.
Logical function - perception not only matter but also energy.
Namely people perceive dichotomizing pair of time and space by means of
intuition and sensory, also dichotomizing pair of energy and matter by means of
ethics and logics.
This fact is necessary for considering in order to prevent muddles if books
of socionics will be used in the context of analytical numerology at
coordination of mental functions of human personality with numbers of magic
square and characteristics of mythological gods of Ancient Greece.
Mental functions form algorithmic patterns according to which people perceive
structure of world reality, that is shown on the chart.
![]() |
Mental functions on the chart within each pattern
are located according to physiognomic features of human face. Sensory - left mouth corner. Intuition - right mouth corner. Ethics - left eyebrow. Logic - right eyebrow. Look information about ratio of mental functions with physiognomy of human face on pages of other website www.emotions.64g.ru. |
Mental functions are designated by letters S-N-F-T in green, blue, yellow,
red squares, that corresponds to four fundamental world elements.
Elements of air - green color - sensory function.
Elements of water - blue color - intuitive function.
Elements of fire - red color - ethical function.
Elements of earth - yellow color - logical function.
It is necessary to consider that four world elements differently correspond
with mental functions of human personality and types of temperament within magic
square of Pythagorean numerology. Because mental functions and types of
temperament are different structural components which form psychological
construction of human personality.
Read information about ratio of four types of temperament with fundamental world
elements and magic square of Pythagorean
numbers on pages of this website in other section which is named as
numerology.
Numbers in white circles and arrows on the chart show structural gradation or
sequence according to which mental functions form algorithmic patterns.
First leading or strong function.
Strong mental function designates confident position of human person or basic vital credo.
Human person according to strong function exists as oneself.
Second actual function.
Actual mental function designates position according to which human person has realization.
Human person according to actual function proves oneself in relation to people adequately.
Third weak or irrelevant function.
Weak irrelevant mental function designates uncertain and vulnerable position.
Human person according to weak function painfully reacts to influences, also can
not be realized and proved in relation to people adequately.
Fourth non-actual function.
Non-actual mental function designates indifferent position.
Human person according to non-actual function stays idle and perceives actions
of people as indemnification of own inactivity.
In total four mental functions form eight algorithmic patterns which can be seen
in the table.
STRONG | ACTUAL | WEAK | NON ACTUAL | |
sensory-ethical | sensory | ethics | logics | intuition |
sensory-logical | sensory | logics | ethics | intuition |
intuitive-logical | intuition | logics | ethics | sensory |
intuitive-ethical | intuition | ethics | logics | sensory |
ethical-sensory | ethics | sensory | intuition | logics |
ethical-intuitive | ethics | intuition | sensory | logics |
logical-intuitive | logics | intuition | sensory | ethics |
logical-sensory | logics | sensory | intuition | ethics |
Four mental functions form only eight variants of algorithmic patterns, that is caused by rules in socionics of Aushra Augustinavichjute and typological indicator of Isabel Brigs-Mayers. Namely if first and fourth functions are rational then second and third are irrational. Also if second and third functions are rational then first and fourth are irrational.
Following page shows 16 psychological types which are complex combinations of four mental functions and two psychophysical orientations of human personality.
