• In order to get start with working with our next revision of the model, we need to articulate a prototype for how the mind works. Then we can from there build prototypes for how different types of minds work. I will first show an image for the new model and the show images for each of the 16 types. Previously we only had 8 types because we didn't know how to quantify a difference between individuals to 16 distinct types.
  
  This blog post is about creating a conceptual framework for understanding normal minds. This blog-post will also be quite technical in nature, but without a technical definition we can never find empirical support for the model so it's a requirement. This is also a continous work in progress so if we find a better way to explain this we might change it.
  
  Here is the new prototype:

  Current Research
  
  Some interesting research I have found lately is that people with high reward sensitivity [1] is more prone to Execution and that anxious and scared people are more prone to Processing. That is something one could research more about, the relationship between affective-traits and proactive cognitive control and reactive cognitive control. The trait novelty-seeking seems to correlated with having dopamine-receptors associated with lower levels of dopamine. [6]
  
  Genetics and epigenetics
  
  Differences in genetic which influence the serotonin system is related to Encoding [4]. Differences in genetics which influence the dopamine system is related to Control [3], Association [5] and Conflict [3]. Dichotomy Execution is also related with the current level of dopamine in the prefrontal cortex and the dichotomy stress is related to the current level of serotonin.
  
  The future
  
  What is missing now is a solid scientific base for the conflict dichotomy. We have some references to support the semantics. Now that a empirically-based semantical model of the mind and also of all the 16 types, we can proceed in development of better ways of presenting this to make it more useful for people and organisations. Improving semantic descriptions and the self-reporting test would also be good.
  
  So, how does different types get explained by this new model?

  Summary
  From this we can make a new iteration for self-reporting questions. We get one new dichotomy which gives us four new traits to test.
  
  VG "Evaluative Cognitive" "Energized by being cautious, flexible, careful."
  VF "Evaluative Affective" "Looses energy from beying cautious, flexible and careful."
  XG "Explorative Cognitive" "Energized by reflexive responding to the environment."
  XF "Explorative Affective" "Looses energy by having to respond to the environment without reflecting first."
  
  These new traits are available now in the self-reporting test.
