the lower-case non-preferences will always be an exact mirror of the upper-case letters of the
preferences. The last four letters aren’t a “shadow” or “inferior”--they are preferences in their own
right, albeit less used ones. Indeed, for a person who has several borderline 6/10 preferences, the
lowercase trailing letters may be almost as important as the upper case letters. Thus it is proper to
include them.
Strong Preference(s)
There is no reason why a person cannot have more than one strong preference. Suppose that an
INTJ has both very clear I and very clear J, and both preferences are 10/10 when measured on a
test? In this case, we can designate this INTJ as (say) an IJTNsfpe, underlining the top preferences
to show that they are clearest.
It is possible to have one, two, three or even four clear preferences. It is also possible to have no
preferences at all.
Conclusion
The method above explains individual variation without the need to resort to unproven hypothetical
constructs, namely type dynamics and cognitive functions. Furthermore, it is empirically sound and
can be measured on a test. It also matches up with existing field observations. As a simpler and
more elegant solution, it deserves consideration within the internet type community as an alternative
to an increasingly shaky theory.
