グレンコが書いたIEI(INFJ)

In her behavior, the IEI is guided by her intuitive presentiments. Due to this quality, she is capable of surviving in the most difficult situations. She quickly distinguishes falsehood, hypocrisy, artifice, and degradation.〔中略〕telling of coming changes for the better. In conversation, she dislikes highlighting mistakes of the past.

She is flexible and adaptable, and she does not impose herself on anybody. Instead, she puts in the effort to adjust to the habits and tastes of those around her. Sometimes she complains about her health, poor care, or indifference; however, in extreme situations will pull herself together and suppress her pains. In a comfortable environment around familiar acquaintances, she gains confidence and strength.

She gets along with people who are sure of themselves, who are strong and determined. However, she does not allow her relationships to turn into despotism — in such cases, IEI will openly declare〔中略〕stupidity and primitiveness of blunt force. She has a good sense of which kind of force to apply to achieve her goals. She resorts to forceful methods only when she feels a physical threat to herself or her loved ones.

When there is no clarity and the situation is ambiguous, IEI’s mood spoils; she feels lost and confused. Chaos, disorganization, and lack of support plunge her into despair. She begins to act enthusiastically when she is relying on a thoughtful, logical plan aligned with a clear end goal in sight. She is in need of various designs, schemes, and methods. In extreme situations, she becomes cool and unemotional. Her thoughts become clearer, and she finds it easier to undertake informed decisions. She dislikes strict, meticulous control. Constant, firm discipline is not for her.

In interaction, a notable trait that allows us to reliably identity a person belonging to this sociotype is an apprehensive, somewhat shy smile, which appears when IEI feels agitated, or when the conversation subject turns to her. She is curious about all that is unusual and original and is inclined to chatter about all sorts of interesting trivialities. It’s difficult to focus her attention on essential things.

Light humanitarians (Lyrist and Mentor) work better with dynamic, volatile psychological states, which, as a rule, are rooted in the subconscious and that part of the psyche that is susceptible to suggestion. They are better able to cope with extreme states and uniting people using the different values of social groups. Advisor and Humanist are strong when you need to dig into the deep problems of an individual soul, while Mentor and Lyrist work well with the superficial, current problems of the mass psyche.

These two types are naturally endowed with a sensitivity to changes in time, a philosophical worldview. Their abstract-intuitive states produce the role of a person who senses the objective world and knows how to find a convenient place in it (role function S). However, they have a different adaptation to the environment. Critics show assimilation (conformity), being a gourmet, and the ability to be content with what they have. The Lyrist, on the contrary, contradicts the environment, showing his ability to〔中略〕look good and feel healthy despite the difficulties
