レイニンが書いた暗示機能

This is a function through which a suggestion might be done most easily. In the fourth function area an individual is open for external influences.〔中略〕Each person is subject to suggestive psychotherapy. The problem is that the techniques of trance induction used at public sessions work effectively only with one or two out of sixteen types, the rest of the audience does not respond.

While the first function is about "things I have sufficient knowledge about", the fourth function is about "what other people know". Here a person is prone to be guided by others, to lean on external authority.〔中略〕Each type has a 'built-in' rapport with the external world. This is the core of the fourth function. Here the person is most gullible and open for external information, he takes it in without discernment.

As a rule, in this area people are hypochondriacal. Strange things happen here. For example, other people know whether I am ill or healthy. Others tell me whether I am in love or not. In this sphere a person is not discerning.〔中略〕To begin with when exposed to certain influences pay attention to your automatisms.

The fourth function - subjective sensoring ( ). Huxley (like Don Quixote, who shares the same fourth function) is very hypochondriacal about his/her health condition. This type is not good at discerning his /her feelings and symptoms. Here this type is most vulnerable to suggestion. And, at last, the fourth co function, the area of fears: activity, motion, deed. There we have ultimate fear, fear of conduct. This type finds it difficult to bring anything to completion: remodeling, writing a thesis, etc.

If the active set of stereotypes and habitual reactions in this sphere is extensive enough, the person may look rather effective in corresponding area. Unlike the situation with the second function, this efficiency is discrete – when facing unusual, non-standard environment all efficiency may disappear.

The subject matter of the fourth function is often used as the criteria for assessing a place, for example: “I am loved here, so the place is good ” (Maxim). Here person's motivation ("I want to") is detected: “I want to be loved”. The third and fourth functions affect the choice of the social niche. As a rule, we look for a place in a society where these functions would be protected in one way or another. It happens instinctively.

Function #4 - subjective logic ( ): “I want to understand everything! Explain things to me. Please do explain! I am not interested if I do not understand. A good place is where understand everything".〔中略〕Perhaps the two types – a Hugo and a Hamlet – are the most frequent attendants of all kinds of lectures, meetings, conferences, discussions and debates. It is important for them that that the event is well structured, the lecturer explains and clarifies everything carefully.

Function #4 - objective logic ( ): a person is suggested not by explanations but by facts. “Give me the facts.” A Dreiser does not need "explanations": “Do not explain, just give me the facts, I am not interested in your interpretation!” A Dreiser considers only real events and proven facts.
