Socionics

8.5. Evident and alleged elements (or external and internal elements)


To explain the division into evident and alleged elements, I will also use a quote from the web-page:
http://socjonika.net/#!Elementy_informacyjne


To obtain the eight characteristic information elements, one more division into evident and alleged elements should be used. Evident elements are adapted to operate on the basis of unambiguous data, aiming to ensure the certainty of the obtained results. The alleged elements operate on less unambiguous sets of information, and their aim is to obtain the results, which are the most relevant, bringing the given situation closer, even with the cost of the certainty of this approximation. It can be presented in such a way that the evident elements focus on certain experiences, information, and methods of manipulating this information. While the evident elements focus on the whole pool of them, using less unambiguous methods that will allow drawing something more from them. Thus, the evident elements help to obtain a certain, solid attitude, whether in the field of perceiving (irrational elements) or conclusion (rational elements). In turn, the alleged elements allow for some orientation in the situation in one of these areas.

As before, I will also use the diagram used in socionics to present the evident and alleged elements.



To adjust the above-mentioned evident and alleged elements to the Mandala of Characters, I rearrange these elements.



Similarly to the previously considered Socionics dichotomies, I will put division into evident and alleged elements on the Mandala of Characters.



So, above, I have presented three main divisions. That is, divisions into the following information elements:
— static and dynamic,
— object-oriented and relation-oriented,
— rational and irrational, and
— evident and alleged.


Besides, to the above dichotomies, Socionics also distinguishes other dichotomies, such as:
— global and local (also called abstract and involved),
— α (alpha) values and γ (gamma) values,
— β (beta) values and δ (delta) values.

Information about these dichotomies we can find, for example, on the following websites:

From the above dichotomies, my attention was drawn to the division into:
— global and local information elements (also called abstract and involved).

The above information elements are most often called abstract and involved. However, I like the other names of these elements. I found them on the website about Socionics written by Ibrahim Tencer. On his website, I have just found terms—global and local elements.

In my opinion, the terms “global” and “local” reflect the nature of these elements better than “abstract” and “involved”.

I think so because the global and local elements are complementing the evident and alleged elements that I talked about earlier in this chapter.

Then I will show where the global and local elements are.

As in the previous presentation of Socionics’ dichotomies, I will use diagrams. First, I will present the global and local elements in the diagram used in Socionics.



Next, to adjust the above global and local elements to the Mandala of Characters, I rearrange these information elements accordingly.



Similarly to the previously considered Socionics’ dichotomies, I will put the division into the global and local information elements into the Mandala of Characters.



And here I will finish presenting the divisions of information elements in Socionics. Above I presented the divisions' thanks to which I can bring new interesting ideas to the Mandala of Characters. Among other things, these ideas create many opportunities for various associations. And various associations and analogies can help discover the secrets of human characters.
