This project was inspired by the book
The Semantics of the Information Aspects
, which attempted to concreticize the way different
IM elements
manifest themselves in people's speech. Here we are looking for real-life phrases that reflect the point of view of different IM elements (or 'psychic functions'). An equivalent project has been started on the
Russian version of Wikisocion
. If this page grows too large, it will be split into eight separate pages.

Features of

Surrealism and symbolism. Use of imagery to represent events and concepts, painting things in such a way that they seem grander than they really are. Because
types naturally look beyond what happens on the surface to the underlying bigger picture, some may complain about the omission of details (when, where, who, what) or of mysticism. Except
types have enough difficulty putting their thought processes into words, much less converting what they see into details that may reflect corporal reality, but mean nothing. So those who don't value
may either fail to follow or respond with criticism, or both.
More importantly, the imagery is not static, but evolving due to their progressive thought process. When you listen to someone explain something in
, it is like watching a video. One sees easily sees how one thing leads to another (if-this-then-that), as well as the interaction between symbols.
