Is that some reference I'm missing?

Here is a sort of flipping of the chart

One more thought about this...

The artificial vs. natural is basically the classic nerd vs. jock conflict.

Since I lean quite a bit into the chaos part, it's kinda the midway point. So as a third party it can be a sort of mediator against situations where you are with two people that are in this sort of conflict... thinking of examples in school where this was the case.


Seems higher IQs seem to cluster around the Artificial side, and the typical type of autism in either Order or Artificial. But always many exceptions... would consider my childhood friend who was in gifted and is now a doctor to be midway between natural and chaos. Like when he announced to me that he would be joining gifted class it was slightly surprising... from a personality perspective he wasn't the type to match up, though you could tell he wasn't dumb even if he often did dumb things.

      I think it's just a momentary lapse. I'm OK now.

This is an interpretation I came up with, some of it my own and some of it repackaged into a single word.

Could even be the quickest way of typing oneself without having to understand the system (or how they measure up relative to what is average), if they are aware of what archetype they fit into most.

The reddit board liked it, other than the usage of "technician." I kinda agree, but I was (somewhat covertly) trying to give it a musical perspective.

The Innovators write the music. The Performers perform it for others. The Technicians analyze the technique and teach it. The Theorists study the composition.


Anyways, the conflict between nerd and jock (top left vs. bottom right) has been established. But what about top right vs. bottom left?

...top right is thought of as "goths" while bottom left was thought of as "preps."

Personally, although I was friends with some goths (though never continuously part of their clique exactly), tbh I couldn't ever identify groups of "preps" for some reason.

I had no grievances with any of the specific groups, but I'd say it was more like Me vs. the institution of school itself. I just found it sooooooooo boring. School itself can be a replacement for preps.

And there is some linkage between ADD and top-right lateral/impressionistic type of thinking, and the way there is a conflict between ADD and schools telling kids to sit still for long periods of time (which I can't do, the fidgeting and thinking about something else will always happen unless I make great efforts to listen and sit still).

There are articles about this, also pointing out the most watched TED talk, which is about schools killing creativity. This is the fundamental clash between newtype vs. bookkeepers.

Hilariously awesome stuff.
