Reinin Dichotomies Calculator

Extraversion

The outer world and other people are more understandable to me than my inner world. I tend to expand my social circle. I need communication to restore energy. In solitude I lose energy, although it may sometimes be necessary.

Introversion

My inner world is more understandable to me than other people. When meeting others, I expect them to take the initiative. I tend to limit my social circle. Communication drains my energy, and I need solitude to restore it.

Intuition

Strong imagination, figurative thinking, and abstraction. I quickly grasp meanings, create ideas and images. Insight, foresight, perceptiveness, creativity.

Sensing

I understand the material side of the world well: bodily sensations, space, and objects within it. Perception relies on sensory experience (what I see, hear, touch, smell, etc.).

Logic

I understand the world through logic, correctness of actions, facts, causes, and effects. I understand rules and work with numbers. I am guided by necessity: “needed / not needed”.

Ethics

I understand people’s feelings and emotional states, as well as relationships between people. I understand relationships, can build and maintain them, bring people closer or create distance. I am guided by the feeling of “like / dislike”.

Rationality

A tendency to form beliefs, views, evaluations, and principles that I rely on when perceiving the world. I easily follow plans and principles.

Irrationality

A tendency to perceive the world as it is, without attachment to beliefs, views, evaluations, or principles. I quickly respond to changes in circumstances.

Static

Abrupt and completed movements, fixed poses, prolonged maintenance of body position or facial expression. When speaking, I present information in separate parts and blocks that can be rearranged. Reality is perceived and described as a set of separate states.

Dynamic

Smooth movements, flexible facial expressions, changing poses. Transitions are fluid. When speaking, information unfolds smoothly, flowing from one thing to another. Reality is perceived and described as a continuous stream of change.

Positivism

I first notice the positive sides of a situation: what is present, what is good about it, and how close it is to some ideal standard. I note what can bring it closer to that ideal.

Negativism

I first notice the negative sides of a situation: what is lacking and how it differs from some ideal standard. I note what can move it even farther from that ideal.

Questimity

Questioning intonations are characteristic. A tendency to ask questions. Conversation is conducted as a dialogue. In speech I expect questions, and after answering I continue without losing my train of thought.

Declatimity

Assertive intonations are characteristic. A tendency toward monotone speech; I prefer speaking without interruption, in separate blocks. Conversation is conducted as a monologue. Questions may interrupt my train of thought, so it is better to ask them at the end.

Tactics

Long-term goals are seen vaguely. I do better taking immediate steps based on the current situation. The key to success is correct actions and solving present tasks.

Strategy

I can set long-term goals and think through them. How much closer or farther I have moved from goals matters. Goals may change and be restructured. The key to success is setting the right goal.

Constructivism

I do not like becoming emotionally involved in other people’s переживания because it is hard to come back out afterward. I limit exposure to situations that could strongly change my emotional state. I can relive feelings by immersing myself in memories. I may rewatch films or reread books even if I remember the plot. In songs, I first pay attention to the lyrics and their meaning.

Emotivism

I become emotionally involved in other people’s experiences, but recover quickly. I can talk calmly about a traumatic event from the past without reliving the feelings. If I remember the plot, rewatching films or rereading books is uninteresting. I can listen to a song many times without paying attention to the lyrics.

Process

The main thing is the process itself. I focus on it and can immerse myself deeply. I do not strive to summarize outcomes or results. If interrupted for a long time, it is hard to re-enter the process because it feels like starting over. Summing things up may not feel important.

Result

The main thing is the result — what the activity is for. A tendency to summarize intermediate and final outcomes. I can easily interrupt the process, note an interim result, and then re-enter it from the same point.

Yielding

Interests and desires should correspond to available resources. One should act based on resources rather than desires. Interests can be abandoned if they are too resource-intensive. In an argument, I may agree or leave it if proving my point is not worth the effort. If the price rises, I may give up the desire even if I wanted it.

Obstinate

Desires and interests are more important than resources. Resources can be found for them. Cost does not matter if I really want something. To fulfill my interests and intentions, I seek any possible resources. If it cannot happen now, I postpone the desire but return to it as soon as possible.

Carelessness

It is impossible to foresee everything; anything can happen, so I usually approach a situation as new and different from previous ones. I may start again on something I already know how to solve or have done before. The situation has changed, new circumstances appeared, and it can be done differently. I am not inclined to rely on other people’s experience and often do things my own way even after hearing it.

Foresight

Situations are usually typical and have standard solutions that can be transferred and reused. I keep approaches to common situations in mind and can offer solutions. I rely on other people’s experience and apply it as a correct, proven order of actions.

Judiciousness

Comfort is a necessary and important condition for work and life. Before a task, I need to rest and relax. My normal state is relaxation. It is natural, familiar, and necessary. When needed, I can mobilize myself.

Decisiveness

I value willpower, decisiveness, and speed of decision-making. A state of mobilization is natural, familiar, and necessary. Rest itself is not among my values.

Subjectivism

The same thing can be seen differently by each person depending on viewpoint, concept, or perspective. Each point of view describes a phenomenon from different sides. A judgment may be correct within its own system of coordinates but fail in practice. To prove something, terminology must be aligned, since we may understand the same thing differently.

Objectivism

Facts are the most stubborn things. To make a judgment, one must study facts and apply them in practice. Practice and facts are the measure of truth. If a judgment is true, it will work in practice. To prove something, it is enough to provide facts; perhaps the opponent simply does not know them.

Aristocracy

Every person belongs to a certain group, class, or category (Muscovite, higher educated, entrepreneur, military, convicted, one of us, outsider, etc.). If it is known which group a person belongs to, one can infer what qualities they have.

Democracy

Every person is an individual with their own unique qualities (tastes, intellect, achievements, etc.). I relate to a person without giving importance to which group they belong to.
