Mental functions form the complex of a human person and have different
degrees of displays that forms system of 16 psychological types in the Brigs
Majers Type Indicator and socionics. Namely each psychological type has one
conducting most significant function and has minor functions which determine
distinctive features of type:
- the first conducting mental function is strong;
- the second mental function is actual;
- the third mental function is weak;
- the fourth mental function is non-actual;
- the fifth mental function is latent strong;
- the sixth mental function is latent actual;
- the seventh mental function is latent weak;
- the eighth mental function is latent non-actual.
It is possible to correlate the sequence of mental functions to
characteristics of planets in astrology:
- the first strong mental function corresponds with characteristics of the Sun;
- the second actual mental function corresponds with characteristics of the Moon;
- the third weak mental function corresponds with characteristics of the Mars;
- the fourth non-actual mental function corresponds with characteristics of the
Venus;
- the fifth latent strong mental function corresponds with characteristics of
the Jupiter;
- the sixth latent actual mental function corresponds with characteristics of
the Saturn;
- the seventh latent weak mental function corresponds with characteristics of
the Pluto;
- the eighth latent non-actual mental function corresponds with characteristics
of the Neptune.
Characteristics of the Mercury can be considered as quintessence or the fifth
element of first four mental functions, and characteristics of the Uranus can be
considered as quintessence of latent mental functions.
The detailed information on the sequence of mental functions
in the complex of a human person look on pages of other website:

The complex of a human person is formed by four mental functions which
correspond with discrete pairs of global world categories and in total
correspond with 8 positions in the complex, that is shown on the chart:
![]() |
For an example look the typological chart of
sensory-logic introverted type of Brigs Majers Indicator where letters mean: R - the right half of face to which there correspond logics T (right eyebrow) and intuition N (right corner of a mouth), and also introversion I (right eye); L - the left half of face to which there correspond ethics F (left eyebrow) and sensorics S (left corner of a mouth), and also extraversion E (left eye). |
Logics, ethics, intuition, sensorics correspond with energy, matters, time,
space. Introversion and extraversion correspond with movement and life, that in
total forms the complex of a human person:
- the ratio of logic with energy is connected to perception of sign energy Te;
- the ratio of logic with a matter is connected to perception of detailed matter Tm;
- the ratio of ethics with energy is connected to perception of figurative energy Fe;
- the ratio of ethics with a matter is connected to perception of generalized matter Fm;
- the ratio of intuition with time is connected to perception of potential time Nt;
- the ratio of intuition with space is connected to perception of abstract space Ns;
- the ratio of sensorics with time is connected to perception of valid time St;
- the ratio of sensorics with space is connected to perception of concrete space Ss;
- introversion is connected to perception of passive movement and life
segregated from world around;
- extraversion is connected to perception of active movement and life involved
in world around.
The information on letter designations of mental functions
, and also the
information on perception of world around according to ratio of global world
categories with psychological parameters of a human person look on pages of
other website: www.numeralgame.64g.ru/annum/annum3en.htm.
To ratio of mental functions with discrete pairs of global world categories
there correspond eight positions, and also two positions correspond to
introversion and extraversion, that is shown by white circles.
According to numbers in white circles it is possible to see that the
sensory-logic introverted type of Brigs Majers Indicator has the following
sequence of psychological parameters:
- the type is introverted that is marked by a dagger in the appropriate white
circle;
- sensorics of concrete space Ss (left corner of a mouth) has the first strong
position;
- logics of sign energy Te (right eyebrow) has the second actual position;
- ethics of figurative energy Fe (left eyebrow) has the third weak position;
- intuition of abstract space Ns (right corner of a mouth) has the fourth
non-actual position;
- sensorics of valid time St (left corner of a mouth) has the fifth latent
strong position;
- logics of detailed matter Tm (right eyebrow) has the sixth latent actual
position;
- ethics of generalized matter Fm (left eyebrow) has the seventh latent weak
position;
- intuition of potential time Nt (right corner of a mouth) has the eighth latent
non-actual position.
Typological charts of all 16 psychological types of the Brigs Majers Type Indicator and socionics
are shown in the following table:
Red circles in the shown typological charts correspond to positions of
realized mental functions and white circles correspond to positions of latent
mental functions.
Displays of mental functions in psychological types of analytical physiognomy
are connected to the shown positions if to take into account that 64
psychological types of analytical physiognomy can be shown (displayed) as 16
types in the table.
If the psychological type is extraverted but shows attributes of introversion,
or is introverted but shows attributes of extraversion then latent positions
become realized and realized positions become latent.
14![]() |
For example, if 14th psychological type of analytical physiognomy is usually shown as logic-intuitive introverted type but shows attributes of extraversion, and in essence is shown as logic-intuitive extraverted type, then the fifth latent logic function, connected to perception of sign energy Te, is shown as the first realized function. In result the person is as though reoriented on perception of other global world category, namely logic function is reoriented from perception of detailed matter Tm on perception of sign energy Te. And also other mental functions are reoriented on perception of other world categories, that is possible to see above in the shown typological charts. |
If harmonious or contrast psychological types of analytical physiognomy are shown as different psychological types of Brigs Majers Type Indicator and socionics then in this case also latent positions become realized and realized positions become latent, and besides intensity of displays of mental functions change.
10![]() ![]() |
For example, if 10th harmonious psychological type or 64th contrast psychological type of analytical physiognomy are shown as logic-intuitive introverted type but another time shown as intuitive-logic introverted type then first realized strong logic function Tm is shown as the sixth latent actual, namely turns from realized in latent and turns from strong in actual, that changes intensity of display. And as the first realized strong there is a display of intuitive function Ns which before was the sixth latent actual. And also other mental functions turn from realized in latent and turn from latent in realized, and are shown with the changed intensity, that is feature of harmonious and contrast psychological types of analytical physiognomy. |
If explicit psychological types of analytical physiognomy function according to the third function that changes intensity of displays on 2-3 and 6-7 positions then in some cases latent positions become realized and realized positions become latent, and also in some cases 1-5 or 4-8 positions remain former.
38![]() |
For example, if 38th psychological type of analytical physiognomy is logic-intuitive introverted but functions according to the third function and is in essence shown as logic-intuitive introverted type then first realized logic function Tm and fifth latent logic function Te remain former, and fourth realized ethical function Fe becomes latent and eighth latent ethical function Fm becomes realized. And besides there are changes of intensity of displays on 2, 3, 6, 7 positions where actual intuitive function Nt is shown as weak and weak sensory function St is shown as actual, and also latent actual intuitive function Ns is shown as latent weak, and latent weak sensory function Ss is shown as latent actual. |
Pay attention that distinction of explicit and contrast psychological types
consists that obvious psychological types can function according to the third
weak function which is unobvious, but contrast psychological types can not as
the third weak function is passive. Therefore weakness of the third function in
contrast types is shown differently rather than in explicit types.
These are the basic features of displays of mental functions in harmonious,
contrast, explicit psychological types of analytical physiognomy, but it is
necessary to take into account more complex ratio of features. For example, if
any contrast psychological type shows attributes of different types, and also
shows attributes of extraversion or introversion then features are more complex.
Or if any harmonious psychological type shows attributes of different types, and
shows attributes of extraversion or introversion, and also functions according
to the third mental function then features are even more complex.
More detailed information on displays of realized and latent mental functions
in psychological types of analytical physiognomy look on pages of this website
in section which has the name transactions.
The following page shows examples of visual identification of harmonious, contrast, explicit psychological types of analytical physiognomy according to faces of people.
