My theory about the personality types

Thus, there is four personality types:

1. a psychologist,

1. a technician,

1. a speaker,

1. a theorist,

each of which possesses the inclination to use own, first of all, dominant function of the consciousness: the psychologist possesses the inclination to use intuition, the technician possesses the inclination to use capability for tool activity, the speaker possesses the inclination to use spoken language, the theorist possesses the inclination to use abstract‐logical thinking.

Theories about personality types by Katharine Briggs and Isabel Myers

Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs Myers have added to six Jung indicators still two indicators ‐ Judging (planning) and Perception (impulsiveness). Capability for Judging (planning) means the inclination to make a decision previously and to act according to the plan, studying intermediate stages and methods of achievement of the purpose. Perception (impulsiveness) means the inclination to have many versions and to act in the dependence from the circumstances. Thus, Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers have received sixteen personality types on the basis of eight indicators, but, in my opinion, it is too much for the visual testing.

In my opinion, the conceptual corrections of Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Maers to Jung's theory were not entirely successful for the following reasons.

• First, their criteria are interdepended, capability for thinking includes planning and capability for thinking excludes impulsiveness, capability for a feeling exclude planning and capability for a feeling means by impulsive actions.

• Secondly, the typology of Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers resembles artificial theoretical construction, since sixteen types is too much for the visual testing. It is not possible to compose the list of identification marks for sixteen types of personality. Personality types of Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Myers don't exist in the nature, thus these people investigate what exists only in their heads.

• Thirdly, the typology of Katharine Cook Briggs and Isabel Briggs Maers doesn't have physiological substantiation, because the centers of Judging (planning) and Perception (impulsiveness) does not exist in the human brain, but centers of spoken language, tool activity, intuition and abstract‐logical thinking exist in the human brain.

Typologies of Katharine Cook Briggs, Isabel Briggs Maers, David Keirsey and socionics of Aušra Augustinavičiūtė are a delirium and pseudoscience, similar to astrology, my typology is better than their typologies. If your money is spent for use of their typology for career guidance, then this money is spent for nothing. Advantage of my typology consists that the visual test exists in my typology unlike typologies of my competitors. My visual test gives results about personality type of the respondent with bigger degree of reliability and validity. I consider that my visual test gives more reliable results, than my verbal test even. My competitors (Mayers, Briggs, Keirsey and Augustinavičiūtė) can't create the visual test in principle as too many the personality types (16) exist in their typologies in comparison with my typology (4 personality types exist in my typology). My competitors can't recheck results of their verbal test with help of visual test, and I can recheck results of the my verbal test with help of visual test even then, when the respondent consciously lies on the verbal test or the respondent does not understand test questions because facial expression (identification marks) of the respondent lies never. In my opinion, the personality type is written on a face, literally on a forehead at each person. Also it is necessary to be able to see this personality type on a forehead. It is very useful in our life. I can teach by any person within several lectures to see this the personality type on the faces of surrounding people by identification marks.

Theories by Evgeny Klimov, Victor Soroka‐Rosinskiy, Martin Trow

My recommendations regarding the selection of profession have much in common with recommendations Evgeny Aleksandrovich Klimov.

He divided all professions into five types:

1. “man‐ nature”,
2. "man - technics”,
3. “man‐ man”,
4. “man ‐ sign”,
5. “man ‐ artistic image”.

In my opinion, the first type ("man-nature") of professions is intended for such personality type as the technician (livestock breeder, agriculturist, veterinary physician, microbiologist, chemical Laboratory Assistant) The second type ("man - technics”) of professions is intended for such personality type as the technicians (engineer, turner, electrician, welder, tractor operator, joiner, architect, builder). The third type ("man - man”) of professions on the management by people is intended for such personality type as the speaker (head, politician, seller, businessman, officer). Third type ("man - man”) of professions, which assume individual work with the client is intended for such personality type as the psychologist (psychotherapist, educator, priest). Fourth type (“man ‐ sign”) of routine professions is intended for such personality type as technician (bookkeeper, programmer, draftsman, corrector, scientist ‐ experimenter, cartographer, secretary). Fourth type(“man ‐ sign”) of creative professions is intended for such personality type as the theorists (scientist ‐ theorist, jurist, editor). Fifth type of professions is intended for such personality type as the psychologist (artist, writer).

Other authors stated the similar ideas about four the personality types of teachers, students or philosophers.

For example, Victor Nikolaevich Soroka‐Rosinskiy have named four “breed” of teachers:

• theorists,

• realists,

• proponents of utilitarianism,

• actors.

Martin Trow has named four categories of the students:

“academicians”,

“collegials”,

“professionals”,

“nonconformists”,

which resemble theorist, speaker, technicist, psychologist respectively. In the opinion of Martin Trow, “collegials” like to organize parties and to play sports, marks are for them of secondary importance. “Professionals” attempt to obtain good estimations and it is good to be arranged in the future. “Academicians” are absorbed by studies from the soul, but not for the benefit, they dream to become graduate students and professors. “Nonconformists” are representatives of "bohemia" who do not care about study, nonconformists despise by average men and nonconformists conduct by a loose life.

Nature of the relations between the types of personality

Diagram 1 indicates the nature of the relations between the types of personality. The best relations exist between the identical personality types, for example, the best relations exist between two technicians. Acceptable relations exist between the close personality types, for example, acceptable relations exist between the technician and the theorist, between the theorist and the psychologist, between the psychologist and the speaker, between the speaker and the technician. The relations of hostility and incomprehension exist between the opposite personality types frequently, for example, the relations of hostility and incomprehension exist between the technician and the psychologist, between the theorist and the speaker. The nature of these relations is manifested in the conflicts or in the inclination toward the collaboration in all spheres of society.

Table 1.

Visual test

Each personality type has identification marks in appearance. The ability to see this identification marks allows to add visual test to verbal test or do testing with help of visual test without verbal test at all. This ability comes together with experience growth of determination of personality type. It is not always conveniently to propose verbal test to own boss but nobody will forbid to us to apply to own boss the visual test. Only visual test makes it possible to determine the personality type of man, imprinted in the materials of video. The visual observation is more convenient method in comparison with the application of a verbal test, since application of the visual test doesn't distract of surrounding men from performance of own direct duties. For example, the method of covert observational research have used by me under conducting of the research of unemployment problems for different personality types, when I sat on reception at the inspector in Public employment agency in town Berezniki. I determined the personality type of unemployed men according to the identification marks and I fixed into the notebook the information, obtained from the dialogue between this unemployed man and inspector. Respondent can lie during the answer to questions of verbal test about own personality type, but his face will lie never about own personality type. Therefore the results of visual test about own personality type are more precise and more reliable in comparison with the results of verbal test. The personality type is written on a forehead at each person. The reliability of the results of visual test can be accepted as absolute. I have executed an empirical research for the purpose to determine the degree of reliability and the degree of the validity of verbal test in 2003 in the school of №6 town Berezniki. I have defined personality types of pupils in advance on the basis of observation for them during one year with help of use of the visual test. Then I proposed to them to answer on questions of verbal test. 94 pupils was interrogated The results of visual and verbal test have coincided in 74 people. The degree of the reliability of the results of verbal test, the degree of the coincidence of the results of visual test and results of verbal test have composed 79%. Such is degree of validity of the verbal test. The especially low degree of the coincidence of the results of visual test and results of verbal test is observed at technicians.

I used my method of definition of types of the personality with help of visual test in all three methods of data collection under observational techniques:

• Covert observational research. When I conducted a research in jobcenter and I sat on reception at the inspector.
• Overt observational research. When I as sociologist interviewed the imprisoned women in prison on the personality type.
• Participant Observation. When I worked as the teacher at school.

Table 2.

Empirical research about shares of the personality types in population of town Berezniki.

I have tested 242 pupils of 8, 9, 10, 11 classes of school № 6 of town Berezniki in 2002 with help of visual test. It has become clear as a result of these researches that shares of the personality types in population make:

• psychologists ‐ 19%, of them boys ‐ 1/5, girls ‐ 4/5,

• technicians ‐ 32%, among them boys ‐ 1/2, girls ‐ 1/2,

• speakers ‐ 46%, among them boys ‐ 1/2 girls ‐ 1/2,

• theorists ‐ 3%, among them boys ‐ 2/3, girls ‐ 1/3.

The list of advantages and problems in the life for the different personality types

Psychologist has the following advantages in the life:

• The high degree sexuality, which makes possible for psychologist many times to enter into the marriage and to search for husband, capable of becoming the source of protection and the source of money for the large family.

• Craftsmanship in fight behind the scene, which goes on in any “office”, insidiousness and cunning, the ability to use human weaknesses of the surrounding people in own interests, ability to be deputy of head, ability to solicit for itself benefits and privileges, to establish special relations with the head, to ingratiate, to betray by patron if it is necessary.

Psychologist has the following problems in the life:

• The absence of the capabilities for manual craft and inability to understand the equipment device, all this results to the unemployment and to the parasitic inclinations.

Technician has the following advantages:

• The wide choice of professions of professions in the industrial society, where technician can use its “golden hands”.

• Inclination to manifest such traits of character as practicalness, patience, diligence and accuracy in the routine work, ability to be an obedient performer.

Technician has the following problems in the life:

• low degree of sexuality because of what technician risks to encounter with such problems as the treasons of husband, late age of marriage or personal solitude.

• Low level of enterprise in the business and inability to search for the new place of work.

Speaker has the following advantages:

• Leader’s traits of character and the ability to lead by organization or state.

• Oratorical talent and talent of a military leader.

• Enterprise talent in business and ability to have broad contacts and acquaintances everywhere.

• The highest degree of success in love and sufficient level of sexuality.

• Ability to make meteoric career, to change from one lift to another, to have the biggest, but unstable income

Speaker has the following problems in the life:

• Inclination toward alcoholism and toward the group crimes , especially in the youth.

• Unwillingness to learn and to receive high education level. The absence of the diploma about the higher education prevents that speaker can reach big heights in career of the head.

• Unwillingness to follow rules of the schedule, the low degree of diligence.

Theorist has the following advantages:

• Highest education level.

• Absence of inclination toward the deviant behavior (to alcoholism, drug addiction and criminal behavior).

• Forward-thinking and existence of the long-term plan for the rest of life.

• Highest degree of the development of intellect.

Theorist has the following problems in the life:

• Inability to lead by people.

• Absence of enterprise talent and absence of inclination to be occupied by business.

• Difficulties in communication at children's age because of extreme degree of an introversion.

• Numerous conflicts with the speakers under the conditions of huge numerical superiority of the speakers over theorists. The conditions of constant pressure from the side of speakers bring up strong character of theorist.

• Theorist has the lowest level of discipline of pupils in the process of the teaching in the secondary school. Theorist has the lowest degree of the success in the love, the theorist feels a panic fear in the course of a public statement.

In my opinion, all four personality types are equivalent, simply they are differed from each other in their abilities, but each of them is capable to find own social niche in the society. There are no bad personality types. Each type of personality has own shortcomings and advantages in comparison with other personality types. For example, psychologist isn't suitable for the work in the industry and for the occupation by manual craft, psychologist is a little suitable for military service, for the occupation of businesses and for work as the head. But woman-psychologist has the highest level of development of sexual instincts, psychologist has the highest success in the behind the scene fight and with the use of three secondary in the contemporary society lifts of vertical mobility ‐ family, religious lift and artistic lift. Some teachers-speakers take offense at me very much because of my statement that speakers are unsuitable completely for use of the scientific lift, although teachers-speakers can have the Doctoral Academic degree, received “on the acquaintance” without the special scientific merits. In my opinion, only theorists and technicists can use scientific lift. Only theorists are capable to formulate the original scientific ideas and original scientific theories even in spite of the authority of Bible and the public opinion, as such theorists as Charles Darwin and Nicolaus Copernicus made that. Only theorists are capable to become scientific geniuses and generator of original ideas. But only technicists can check these original theories in experimental researches better than others personal types. Thus, theorist can use only one scientific lift. Speaker can use four very important in the society of lift ‐ political lift, army, business and press. Furthermore, speaker attempts to use other lifts, but these his efforts are vain often. Therefore the speaker is inclined to plagiarism in science and the speaker has low theoretical level. The speaker just is afraid to state the original ideas, but it isn't possible to develop science without promotion of original hypotheses. All ideas of speaker are someone else's, and theorist creates ideas only by his own forces. The basic reason for this phenomenon lies in the fact that speaker possesses by a bright extraversion, and theorist possesses by a bright introversion. The internal principles and the ideas are the main objects of attention of the theorist, and the power over people is the main object of attention of the speaker. Just speakers have inclination to writing off of examinations at own numerous friends and inclination to the organization of failure of lessons already at school. The speaker is capable to study well for the sake of good marks and successful career sometimes, but only theorists are capable to study with all the heart for the sake of receiving. of knowledge. The theorist tries to learn well in this case only the separate subjects, which have generated his scientific interest. The speaker is capable to the organization of scientific conferences in science better than other the personality types. The speaker is capable to the management of the scientific organizations and educational institutions since speaker has many friends in the scientific sphere, speaker is able to find sponsors and speaker has the highest leader’s traits of character. Speaker is capable to be engaged in popularisation of someone else's scientific ideas. Speaker is capable to be engaged only in descriptive sciences (Local history, history, geography), which don't contain deep scientific generalizations. Any great scientist-speaker isn't known to me. And however, as an example of speakers in science it is possible to point to Friedrich Engels and Vladimir Lenin who have brought a negative contribution to social sciences as they preached the false communistic ideas. Friedrich Engels couldn't graduate even a gymnasium, but Friedrich Engels pretended to become by great philosopher. Friedrich Engels has became by sponsor for Karl Marx's family, Friedrich Engels has organized the edition of works of Karl Marx. Friedrich Engels has became the organizer of the political union of communists – the First International (International Workingmen's Association). Vladimir Lenin was excluded from the Kazan university because of the organization of disorders, Vladimir Lenin has graduated by juridical Faculty as external student, Vladimir Lenin has organized political party and successful seizure of power in Russia. Vladimir Lenin became a tyrant and Vladimir Lenin used philosophy for justification of these unseemly purposes. Psychologists are supporters of a utopia and authors of fairy tales in the social sciences, supporters of theology and mysticism as Plato, Plotinus, Augustine of Hippo, Thomas Aquinas, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Friedrich Nietzsche and Karl Marx. Psychologists possess the superfluous originality of the ideas, which are converted into the fairy tale, the religion, the art fiction or the utopia for this reason. Technicians possess sample thinking and technicians are the born conservatives and reactionaries in the social sciences. For example, some of them consider until now in Russia that Karl Marx is the genius of all times and peoples. Technicians are forced to hide own theoretical backwardness behind quasiscientific style of compositions. The technician is a born performer, and and the technician is capable to be excessively exacting as the head and the technician is capable to organize petty control over subordinates even. Technicians are the second grade when technicians use three important in the modern society of lifts (army, science, business) therefore technicians are capable to find the place in life always. Technicians are unsurpassed masters at repair and use of technical devices.

If the share of speakers becomes too high in the country, then conquerors won't be able to win this country, but too many periods of Civil Wars, revolutions and disturbances exist in the history of this country. The history of Russia serves as an example of such country, because of the share of speakers is too high among the Russians. The history of Russia is full a huge number of Times of Troubles, foreign invasions, revolts of peasants, campaigns of conquerors, resettlements or civil wars. Vasily Klyuchevsky even called Russians by the nation of resettlement's men. Only speakers could carry out these tasks and to solve these problems. The high share of speakers among the Russian population found manifestation in the Russian national character in the form eagerness to fight, recklessness, valiant boldness, but also in inclination to alcoholism, in insufficient degree of diligence and accuracy. The geographical location of Russia is inconvenient, Russia is located on the road between Europe and Asia. Russia did not have natural barriers on the eastern boundary and Russia was forced to conquer Great Steppe. The terrible waves of conquerors ‐ nomads went from Asia to Europe. Europeans attempted to enlarge their territory at the expense of Russia. Only speakers could survive in so restless a place according to the principle, expressed in the little‐known Russian saying: "If the earth and the sky fail, then we will live on swamp hillocks!". Byzantium was wiped off the face of the Earth by Turkish invasion because of reduction in the share of speakers among the population of Byzantium. Reductions of a share of speakers among the European population happens today because of mass immigration of psychologists from the South to Europe. Byzantium occupied the same inconvenient geographical location as Russia. Researchers are surprised to that to ease with which small group of speakers – Goths is has captured and plundered once mighty Rome with the enormous population. The main reason for the loss of Rome is the degeneration of the population of the Roman empire in the form of an increase in the share of psychologists. Increase of a share of psychologists in Ancient Rome has happened because Romans have brought home the Syrian slaves. The high share of speakers among the Russians, the Germans, the Americans and the Englishmen converted them into the outstanding soldiers. The share of theorists isn't too high in any country, since it is too small of really clever people everywhere.

Psychologists manifest their brilliant craftiness in the behind the scene fight, which still no one abolished and which goes on in any “office”. Psychologist Joseph Stalin have won in the behind the scene fight of such speakers as Vladimir Lenin, Leon Trotsky, Nikolai Bukharin Bukharin and other. Psychologist Leonid Brezhnev have won in the behind the scene fight speaker Nikita Khrushchev.

It is possible to draw the conclusion that there are no bad personality types, each personality type has own advantages and own problems in the life in comparison with other personality types. Each personality type lives as is able, using own advantages and hiding own shortcomings. There are no personality type of the second grade. If it is expressed briefly, then psychologists come into this world, that to give birth and raise children, to be engaged in art and to preach religion. Technicians come into this world that to work at a factory, to be engaged in manual craft and other types of routine work. Speakers come into this world that to govern by other the personality types, to be at war, trade and be engaged in business. Theorists come into this world that to write textbooks, to invent and be engaged in scientific research.
