Intertype Relations Mapper for Socionics and MBTI
Video Walkthrough Written Instructions (click on titles of boxes to show/hide):
- Getting started
- What is this for and what does this do? This program allows you to map out the relations between multiple sociotypes spatially. If you're not familiar with Socionics and/or MBTI, I recommend going to sociotype.com and mbti-notes . If you don't want to go into the deep theory of cognitive function stacks and intertype relations, just see my readme.
- Setting up boxes for each type
- To create new boxes: Double-click anywhere. All boxes appear in the upper left hand corner of the screen (BELOW the buttons, so you will have to scroll down).You may have to move boxes to see the new boxes that have been generated.
- To set the type for a box: Type where it says "MBTI type" and press enter. If the box is white after you press enter the type you entered is invalid. You can still change the type of the box after you've set it.
- To move boxes: Click and drag. The final position of the box will be centered around your cursor.
- To delete boxes: Click inside the box and press esc.
- Setting up line relations between types
- To create a line between two types: Click on the first type and press ctrl. (Border should thicken if done correctly.) Click on the type you want to compare to and press ctrl. See the line appear
- To move lines: Move the boxes the line is attached to, and the ends of the line will move with the boxes.
- To delete lines: Click on the line you would like to delete.
- See what relations the lines correspond to
- See text description for specific line: Hover over the line

- How does scoring work?
- What the numbers mean: You know how every line you draw has a rank representing the compatibility between two types? Well, the score-calculating buttons return the average of the ranks of the relationships drawn. It does NOT factor in relationships between two boxes that do not have a line drawn between then. Counterintuitively, a high score means low compatibility and a low score means high compatibility.
- Calculate average score for 1 person: Averages ranks of all lines collected to a particular box. After clicking this button, select the paticular box by clicking on the box and then pressing ctrl.
- Calculate average score for whole group: Averages ranks of all relationships drawn.
