What are the personality variables:
- Emotional participation (Emotional sensitivity and expressiveness, priority of emotions over other input)
- Harm Avoidance (The degree to which an individual avoids danger, stress, shame and their survival instinct)
- Extrinsic motivation (The degree of being motivated by external stimuli, information, sensory input, material gains etc.)
- Intrinsic motivation (Value system, aesthetics, trauma, subjective thinking, subjective perception)
- Abstract detachment (The preference for abstract rather than concrete thinking, detachment from immediate inputs)
Note: Social intelligence, abstract intelligence and other types of intelligence don't influence personality, they just open different levels of cognitive perception and understanding. Average intelligence is assumed all across. Empathy is basically social intelligence.
How does this work:
Person A ( Ep 20% / HA 20% / Em 90% / Im 50% / A 40% ) - Ep+HA gives a generally strict, logical person who speaks directly, isn't afraid of offending or hurting others and likes to take risks and can tolerate stress. Em+Im gives a very ambitious and highly motivated individual who seeks fame or wealth, but also has strong values, views or aesthetics driving them to make their ideas a reality. A gives someone who prefers to be hands on and concrete, but can work with systems and theory just as well. This is approaching a description of Elon Musk.
If you want to get a psychopath version just reduce Ep to 0% and Im to 30% and you have Jeff Bezos, a profit driven maniac.
Disclaimer: I don't know these people and it's just an example they could be very different than that.
I thought about a lot of people and these 5 variables do a pretty good job of condensing their personality.
How does this compare to MBTI (don't have time to explain in detail):
Ep is Fe and Fi depending on Em, but Fi is also a function of social intelligence and empathy so is not strictly a personality trait.
HA is in part neuroticism and in part introversion especially when paired with high Im. Related to Si.
Em can be Te, Se and Ne depending on other variables, is also a function of extroversion.
A is a weird one, it's a composition of Ti Ni and depends on Im, but also decides if a person is an intuitive or a sensor.
Some quick conclusions:
1.Simply put MBTI introverts have high harm avoidance and extroverts are seeking external stimuli or have extrinsic motivators. Increased harm avoidance generally, but not always, decreases the engagement and motivators coming from outside.
2.One can be both an extrovert and an introvert, can be both a feeler and a thinker, Se Ne and Te are facets of the same thing.
3.Ti and Ni are biased modes of thinking which are highly related and can achieve valid results by subjective or unconscious modes of operation. It's more of a heuristic and informal logic thinking as opposed to structured or sequential thinking.
4. There are individuals with low extrinsic and intrinsic motivations who can generally be described as physically or mentally ill, lazy or directionless.
5. Fi doesn't exist, or rather, it's a highly developed empathy paired with Ni and Intrinsic motivation. It's less a personality trait and more a tendency to allow social intelligence to inform opinions.
6. Personalities change with time. An MBTI ISFP can become an INFP etc. Or let's say that an ISFP person already is an INFP, but values S input more than N input.
7. Everyone is all personalities all at once. A person is an ESFJ and an INTP and all the rest of personalities, but they all are expressed and voiced differently. There is a system of weights and networks as to which functions get to have more influence over the final expression of personality in a given time.
