Assigning sociotypes to the 4 temperaments based on Alexander Afanasyev's definition of temperaments

So i decided to do this for fun, to be honest. Here's the definitions of the temperaments:

"- A physique at the top has a positive relation toward the world.

- A physique at the bottom has a negative relation toward the world.

- Emotion at the top expresses itself strongly.

- Emotion at the bottom expresses itself weakly."

"Sanguine individuals are “life-loving, cheerful, and rabelaisian” (A. Afanasyev, 1993). As the physique reflects one’s essence, color, and perception of the world, and emotion “determines the intensity of expression of the perception of the world,” we can say that sanguine individuals have both at the top of the steps of the functional hierarchy (A. Afanasyev, 1993)."

"Phlegmatic individuals are no less live-loving, but they are restrained when it comes to expressing it. Naturally, their physique is at the top, but their emotion is at the bottom of the steps of the functional hierarchy."

"Melancholic individuals are not life-loving, but have a calm nature to them. It follows that their physique and emotion are at the bottom of the steps of the functional hierarchy."

"Choleric individuals are “bilious, not calm, and not cheerful,” so their emotion is at the top and their physique at the bottom of the steps of the functional hierarchy (A. Afanasyev, 1993)."

Ok, so lets start:

ILE: Sanguine (idealistic radical optimism is very clear in this type)

LII: Melancholic (they have a more negative relation to the world, but they express it in a very incospicious way)

SEI: Sanguine, dont think i need to say much

ESE: Sanguine, also dont think i need to explain

SLE: Choleric I would say probably fits the best due to their irritable Negativist-Constructivist nature

LSI: Phlegmatic, some may disagree, but in general they're positivist and emotivist so they tend to accept things easily, and are also not emotionally inert

IEI: Choleric, they have a more dark worldview and can express it fairly strongly

EIE: choleric, no need to explain

SEE: Sanguine, they are very life-loving and Rabelaisian type

ESI: melancholic or Choleric, lean towards choleric

ILI: melancholic 100%

LIE: Phlegmatic or sanguine, lean more towards phlegmatic tho

IEE: sanguine

EII: maybe more phlegmatic, but could also be sanguine

SLI: phlegmatic

LSE: choleric, funnily enough, they tend to be very irritable due to being questims, and they are also negativist. Could also see Phlegmatic in some cases.

Now, we could translate this to psychotypes, and i actually will, but its not perfect, so dont sue me (i actually dont agree with most of these as archetypes, but i do think they can work)

ILE: Bukharin. They are pretty cheerful, trusting, can have a penchant for magical thinking (but in general they have a more developed scientific thinking). They also both have a certain enthusiastic and sincerity. Think Alice in Wonderland as an example of this combination.

LII: Lao Tzu. I would have choose Einstein if it wasnt for LIIs peaceful loving, pacifistic nature and squeemishness.

SEI: Borgia. I think its self-explanatory. Malleable, sensual, sensitive, pliable, afraid to question orders.

ESE: Bukharin. Youthful enthusiasm, hard-working, sincerity, caring, kindness.

SLE: Akhmatova. Unquestionable self-confidence, impulsiveness, fearlessness, ruthlessness, uncompromising. Alexander the Great is an example of this.

LSI: Plato. Absurly rational, gigantic ability to work, emphatically serious, businesslike, great interest in everyday life, housekeeping, and tirelessness in work. Plato himself was an LSI.

IEI: Rousseau. Masochism, magical thinking, soft, pliable. Rousseau himself was an IEI.

EIE: Tolstoy. Thirst for leadership, mystical-artistic nature, squeemishness, rejection of comfort. Tolstoy was actually an intermediate between EIE and ESI.

SEE: Dumas. Sexiness, penchant for violence and sadism, emotional manipulativeness, cognitive empathy, vanity, cunning. Theres many examples of this combination.

ESI: Tolstoy. Squeemishness, ascetic hard-working.

ILI: Einstein. Hate sentimentality, and even when surrounded by people who are easily delighted, they invariably maintain their cool, desire for solitude, a true individualist and will never give their undivided heart to the state, homeland, friends and even their own family, the extreme rationalism and arid mental organization of “Einstein” seem to exclude the fruitfulness of their aesthetic life in the cultural field.

LIE: Arristupus. Have a combination of crude materialism with equally crude rationalism, cunning, cynicism, can easily laught with others, or cry with someone who's crying

IEE: Bukharin. Kindness, caring, trust in people, youthful enthusiasm, ideal mediator, non-jealous, energetic.

EII: Borgia. Pliable, malleable, sensitivity, hard time saying no to requests, not inclined to discuss orders

SLI: Goethe. Empricism, the standard of a harmonious personality, strong, flexible, calm, democratic, a consistent supporter of private property, a person inclined to consider personal enrichment a sinless matter, delegate responsibility to those around them, their non-intellectual nature appeals to everyday people

LSE: Tvardovsky. Vulgarity in all its manifestations, even the most refined, which also occurs as the highest form of bourgeoisie, was contraindicated to him, aversion to posture, pathetics and pathos sometimes takes anecdotal forms (very practical and dismissive of sentimentality), caring, homely, handy, though not without arrogance and irony to the simple cares of life.

Obviosuly, these aren't perfect archetypes, but its still interesting.

Do I fit "Dumas" or "Pushkin"?

So I did this questionnaire I actually did before but to be quiet frank, I don't remember that time at all, so I decided to revisit it and re-did it. Here it is:

QUESTIONNAIRE

  1. How much do you enjoy novel experiences? Are there places you would like to visit? Is there any food you would find interesting to eat at least once in your life? Are your holidays usually spent traveling?

Draw a comparison to others and how you align/differ in comparison to them in this area.

So in general, I don't enjoy too many new experiences, well, it depends. I love meeting new interesting people, I love getting into dumb situations with my friends, but I in general prefer just being at home and chilling.

There are some places I would like to visit, maybe Spain, maybe France, and so on. I would love to visit L.A., but the situation of the US is…I can wait, let's just say that.

When it comes to food, I usually prefer sticking to my preferred foods which I already know I like. But there probably is food which I would like to try. Like, if I see some food I never had before on the internet, I wanna try it. If it looks good, why not?

I just in general tend to have a very laid-back, leisurely lifestyle where I don't do much of…anything really. Why would I do something when I can do nothing? That said, I'm of course open to new situations if they arrive, or like I said, meet new interesting people, meet new potential partners, and so on.

  1. Are you a spiritual person? Are there any religions you practice or believe in? Do you generally get interested in these kinds of things?

Describe your relation to spiritual ideas.

I would say I'm not very spiritual or religious, though I had some phases of hyperspirituality, where I even started doing an altar for Aphrodite, in my neutral state of being I'm not a very spiritually inclined person. I'm not that interested in these things, I just kinda wanna not think too much about anything to be honest. However I do like Greek mythology, but that's more from my own artistic side, cuz i like to imagine the imagery of these Gods and Goddesses and think about how it would be like to worship them and things like that. I don't know if I would call that spiritual though. I do find the theme of spirituality in various media very interesting, even if it's some fictional religion or something. But I tend to avoid religion due to personal reasons.

  1. Are you a popular person? Do people enjoy being in your presence? When talking to people about exciting or novel things, does it come easily to you?

Explain how you connect with others.

So it's complicated because I actually talk to and am good with many people. I tend to make friends pretty easily and I would say I'm pretty easy-going and open, sometimes too open due to my oversharing. However that same oversharing is also what can get me in awkward situations. I do have to put up with bullying but that's for reasons that have nothing to do with my personality, it's just bigotry from their side.

It does come easily to me when I'm talking to people about exciting or novel things. I just love to tell people my business and my news because it's fun to share my inner world and life with others. I also like it when others share their own exciting things with me cuz otherwise it just feels boring and too one-sided, however I won't lie and say like I haven't just pretend to listen to other people for the sake of politeness.

  1. Are you a productive person? Can you say that you are good at finishing draining projects?

Describe your ability to complete projects.

I am in no way a productive person, in fact I'm a slacker. I LOVE not doing work. It's fun, people should do it more. Genuinely, having to get something done if I'm not interested in it is actual torture. Like, that's my personal hell. Having to do a job which I feel no passion for. What's the point? If I really have to, I will finish it, but probably not right on the deadline and it will drag on for a LOOONG time. I just really hate any sort of obligations or responsibilities.

  1. Are you prone to action? How do you deal with things unfolding differently than you would like them to? What factors do you consider when a situation is unacceptable to you? How loose are your criteria for feeling like everything is going optimally?

Describe your relation to authority and how you act when things go unfavorably for you in a social situation. Explicitly think of professional environments.

So I am not really prone to action, I prefer to do what I like and let others do their own thing. Like, I prefer to chill as I said already.

When it comes to things not going the way I want them to, I do 2 options: 1. Start whining and complaining, Or 2. Just accept it and move on. Or the double whammy, do both. Oh, or just leave the situation as a whole and avoid it. I've done that many times, like leaving school after having an outburst and heading home.

When a situation is unacceptable to me if I'm not able to do as I wish without external restraints. I don't like being told what to do, or berated or harassed and when that happens, I just leave the situation. I leave the room cuz I won't be talked to like that. Of course in professional environments you have to put up at least a little when it comes to being told what to do, and I can tolerate that, but excessive control is what I cannot stand. In general I am very avoidant and scared of authority and just keep interaction with people in those positions to a minimum.

  1. When engaging with complex factual data, how do you react to a high and unfamiliar difficulty level? Do you find enjoyment when digesting difficult information? Some say that knowledge is power–how do you relate to this statement?

Describe your preferred way of gathering information.

I do love reading up on typology theories and making my own connections to them and so on, but if it gets too difficult I tend to just abandon it until I get the energy to engage again. Digesting complex data can be fun, but again, I prefer to disengage if it gets too much.

“Knowledge is power” statement is true for sure. When someone has no knowledge, stays ignorant, doesn't update their brain and ideas, it only leads to detriment.That's why this anti-intellectualism going on is scary, cuz people really are illiterate. People really don't see outside of their own bubble. “It's not that deep” is literally a curse of humanity. I get wanting to turn off your brain every now and then, and I get wanting to just enjoy life, however you have to be educated in life. Even if not school academics, you need to be aware of what's going on in the world and what that implicates.

  1. Are there any hierarchies that you care about? Do you trust yourself to get to the top if you so desire? Did you ever feel like you had some inherent talent that others lacked? How often do you engage in disputes about worldviews?

Elaborate on how you fit into society at large.

While I don't like them, I am very aware of hierarchies. I know where I stand, and I know I will never get to the top, but I believe hierarchies should be abolished. When you put one group at the top and everyone else at the bottom, it causes more and more harm and hatred, and I'm very sensitive to that as a minority.

I never felt like I had some talent which others don't. I honestly still don't feel like I have any major talents. Sure, I write songs and I think I'm pretty good at it, but I doubt it’s good enough to be a talent.

I also don't like getting into disputes about worldviews since it's too energy-draining and it often leads to nothing so it's useless in my opinion. I do consume a lot of political content though.

  1. Think of your favorite thing in the world. It could be an object, a person, or even an idea. What came to your mind first? Do you think that everyone should feel the same way? Do you care enough to actively strive toward attaining said thing?

Explain whether or not these kinds of things are important to attain.

Hmm…maybe love. Currently I'm pretty conflicted on love due to my fear of men, but I would love to be in a relationship. Most, if not all of my fantasies are centered around love, art (music), hedonistic pleasure, and that's it pretty much. I would say however that most of my life is spent focusing on doing as little as possible, and enjoying life, which I have said a lot and it's sounding repetitive at this point. But the first thing that came to mind was love since at the end of the day I am a loverboy, and have many…infatuations, but yeah.

  1. When communicating with others, what is your preferred medium? Do you prefer texting, talking, expressing, or something else? How do you share most of your ideas with others?

Elaborate on your preferred style of communication.

I 100% prefer talking. It just leaves no room for ambiguity or misunderstandings. You can also hear the other person's intonation and understand what they mean regardless of what they actually said. I put a lot of focus on how something is being said rather than what is being said.

So, I'm pretty much sure for most of the psychotypes and their most corresponding sociotype based on Talanov other than EVFL, VLFE, VLEF and EVLF and this time I'm here with the EVLF type. But instead of just searching through quotes from Syntax Of Love, I will just post the summary a person on PDB made. Here it is:

"Ghazali was a major Islamic philosopher and mystic, seen as a renewer of faith in Islamic tradition, with immense influence on Arab-Muslim culture. He was caught between mysticism (1E) and rationality (3L), but in the end, mysticism won (1E > 3L). Ghazali's view of the universe and human structure mirrors his mental hierarchy. The lower level was the material and physical world that is tangible and perceivable (4F) then the higher realm consisting of knowledge, intellect, will and spirit (3L + 2V), and then at the top was a divine and hidden realm beyond ordinary perception, accessible only through mystical experience (1E only believes in mystical experience). His life was all about spiritual ecstasy through prayer, devotion and asceticism (1E + 4F). Ghazali practiced asceticism but he really just didn't care about the material world (4F). Thanks to their 1E, the EVLF type sometimes unintentionally provokes sexual attraction due to emotional excess (it's the voice I swear), but because of their 4F may lack real sexual desire, making them a "dynamist" who left partners confused and unfulfilled. How sad. Blok's relationships were like this too. He had that rizz and emotional complexity, but little ability to connect sexually with women, no willy. 4F makes EVLF have light sadness and a constant apocalyptic thinking, but the 2V nobility kept them from being total wrecks (unlike ELVFs) so they had that calm and noble vibe even when they were feeling all gloomy and doomy. Also 3L made them skeptical of rationalism and "feel it to believe it" always won (1E)."

So this isnt my description, but a description a...friend? of mine on PDB sent to me. They said that the only thing they're sure of is that they're an aristocratic declatim type. So is there anything more to it?:

• looking aftr the group before myself (a family person , a collectivist)

• does not ruminate, not likely to feel shame or guilt. anti people pleasing

• noncompetitive attitude, not vengeful, including moral revenge

• a "pretentious" look [meaning: looks distant, "cunning", alien]. not pretentious like being a pseud

• strong moral compass, not a cheater

• high pain tolerance and low disgust sensitivity

• nonjudgemental [other than morals]. Will not judge things like music taste or favourite movie

• mostly negative impact on groups. desire to impose my own line of reasoning on the group agenda. not a negotiator/"salesman"

I already know Katara is an ESE with an accent on EII, Iroh is an SEI with an accent on EII, Aang is most likely an IEE, Toph is most likely an SLE but not too sure, and for others I have no idea, so does anyone else know?
