This page is about a theory constructed by a single western socionist. There might only be a handful of socionists who believe in it.
Discussions about
visual identification
of
subtypes
frequently occur among western socionists on
The16types.info
.
This page is about the theory that a 1:1 correlation between some
function dichotomies
and the facial structure of
subtypes
exists. It was constructed by proper functional anaylsis and
provisional DCNH descriptions
.

VI dichotomies
Three VI dichotomies have been proposed so far. Roundish/Longish and Angular/Soft can be used to determine the
DCNH subtypes
by VI. Mathematical/Natural is more subtle but might be useful to distinguish between the eight
IE subtypes
. Even though the
system of accepting and producing subtypes
is still the most often used system in the west, there is still no method to determine accepting and producing subtypes by VI.

Roundish / Longish
People with a strengthened
mental
function seem to have roundish faces whereas people with a strengthened
vital
function seem to have longish faces. 
This difference is very easy to notice.
Angular / Soft
People with a strengthened
bold
function seem to have soft faces whereas people with a strengthened
cautious
function seem to have angular faces. In other words: Introverts with introverted subtypes and extraverts with extraverted subtypes have rather soft faces (round or oval) whereas introverts with extraverted subtypes and extraverts with introverted subtypes have rather angular faces (square or rectangle). 
This dichotomy is more subtle than the first one.
Mathematical / Natural
People with a strengthened
strong
function seem to have "mathematical" faces (circle, square, rectangle or oval) whereas people with a strengthened
weak
function seem to have "natural" faces (angular circle, rounded square, broad rectangle, piriform oval). It is relatively difficult to notice this difference.
Visual Identification in different subtype systems
VI of accepting and producing subtypes
No particular pattern concerning the
system of accepting and producing subtypes
has been detected so far. A correlation between the
accepting
/
producing
dichotomy and face-shape does not seem to exist. Nevertheless, there might be other undiscovered patterns.
VI of DCNH subtypes
There seems to be a 1:1 correlation between Gulenko's
DCNH subtypes
and facial structure. Nevertheless, the correlation is a bit sophisticated because it not only depends on the subtype but also on the temperament:
Subtype
EJ temperament
EP temperament
IJ temperament
IP temperament
Dominant subtype
circle
oval
rectangle
square
Creative subtype
oval
circle
square
rectangle
Normalizing subtype
rectangle
square
circle
oval
Harmonizing subtype
square
rectangle
oval
circle
This confusing correlation can be explained by
function dichotomies
:
strengthened functions
function dichotomies
corresponding VI dichotomies
facial structure
base function
and
role function
mental*bold
roundish*soft
circle
creative function
and
vulnerable function
mental*cautious
roundish*angular
square
ignoring function
and
suggestive function
vital*cautious
longish*angular
rectangle
demonstrative function
and
mobilizing function
vital*bold
longish*soft
oval
VI of IE subtypes
Gulenko's
IE subtypes
seem to correlate with facial structure very well:
