Now we can move into the **Third Subdivision** level of our **Psychological Configuration**. At this level, each of the four function categories are split again through a further **Mental** or **Physical** processing direction, giving us eight distinct branches of psychological processing. <img src="Assets/image5.png" class="theme-aware" alt="My Diagram"> - **Intuition (M/M) → Internal Intuition \[M/M/M]** & **External Intuition \[M/M/P]** - **Feeling (M/P) → Internal Feeling \[M/P/M]** & **External Feeling \[M/P/P]** - **Thinking (P/M) → Internal Thinking \[P/M/M]** & **External Thinking \[P/M/P]** - **Sensing (P/P) → Internal Sensing \[P/P/M]** & **External Sensing \[P/P/P]** Each of these eight branches directly represents one of the Eight Layers of Human Ability as they appear through the processing channel of the Mind. These branches are commonly recognised through Jungian and post Jungian typology as the eight Cognitive Functions, and we will be using them as the final building blocks for forming each Psychological Configuration type. <div class="my-red"> <strong>Intuition [Mental/Mental]</strong> <div class="my-orange" data-canvas-target="internal-intuition"> <strong>Internal Intuition (Ni) [Mental/Mental/Mental] - Layer 8</strong> <p> <strong>Internal Intuition</strong> is the more inward and concentrated form of Intuition. It condenses patterns into singular insight, long range meaning, future direction, and likely outcome. </p> </div> <div class="my-orange" data-canvas-target="external-intuition"> <strong>External Intuition (Ne) [Mental/Mental/Physical] - Layer 7</strong> <p> <strong>External Intuition</strong> is the more outward and exploratory form of Intuition. It expands patterns into possibilities, connections, alternatives, and emerging directions. </p> </div> </div> <div class="my-red"> <strong>Feeling [Mental/Physical]</strong> <div class="my-orange" data-canvas-target="internal-feeling"> <strong>Internal Feeling (Fi) [Mental/Physical/Mental] - Layer 6</strong> <p> <strong>Internal Feeling</strong> is the more inward and personal form of Feeling. It tracks personal values, emotional significance, authenticity, and inner alignment. </p> </div> <div class="my-orange" data-canvas-target="external-feeling"> <strong>External Feeling (Fe) [Mental/Physical/Physical] - Layer 5</strong> <p> <strong>External Feeling</strong> is the more outward and relational form of Feeling. It reads and responds to social dynamics, shared emotions, natural harmony, and communal needs. </p> </div> </div> <div class="my-red"> <strong>Thinking [Physical/Mental]</strong> <div class="my-orange" data-canvas-target="internal-thinking"> <strong>Internal Thinking (Ti) [Physical/Mental/Mental] - Layer 4</strong> <p> <strong>Internal Thinking</strong> is the more inward and analytical form of Thinking. It breaks down systems, concepts, and problems through internal logic, refining them until they make more accurate and precise sense. </p> </div> <div class="my-orange" data-canvas-target="external-thinking"> <strong>External Thinking (Te) [Physical/Mental/Physical] - Layer 3</strong> <p> <strong>External Thinking</strong> is the more outward and practical form of Thinking. It organises the external world through structure, measurable results, and practical outcomes. </p> </div> </div> <div class="my-red"> <strong>Sensing [Physical/Physical]</strong> <div class="my-orange" data-canvas-target="internal-sensing"> <strong>Internal Sensing (Si) [Physical/Physical/Mental] - Layer 2</strong> <p> <strong>Internal Sensing</strong> is the more inward and stabilising form of Sensing. It compares present experience against memory, routine, familiarity, and past conditions that have supported steadiness and reliability. </p> </div> <div class="my-orange" data-canvas-target="external-sensing"> <strong>External Sensing (Se) [Physical/Physical/Physical] - Layer 1</strong> <p> <strong>External Sensing</strong> is the more outward and reactive form of Sensing. It engages directly with sensory reality and responds to what is physically happening in the present moment. </p> </div> </div> --- <div class="canvas-grid"> <!-- top-level: level-1 (blue) --> <div class="canvas-card level-1"> <strong>Psychological Configuration [Mind]</strong> <div class="canvas-grid"> <!-- second-level: level-2 (purple) --> <div class="canvas-card level-2"> <strong>Internal Attitudes [Mental]</strong> <div class="canvas-grid"> <!-- third-level: level-3 (red) --> <div class="canvas-card level-3"> <strong>Intuition [Mental/Mental]</strong> <div class="canvas-grid"> <!-- fourth-level: level-4 (orange) --> <div class="canvas-card level-4"> <strong>Internal Intuition <br>[M/M/M] - Layer 8</strong> </div> <div class="canvas-card level-4"> <strong>External Intuition<br>[M/M/P] - Layer 7</strong> </div> </div> </div> <!-- another third-level: level-3 (red) --> <div class="canvas-card level-3"> <strong>Feeling [Mental/Physical]</strong> <div class="canvas-grid"> <div class="canvas-card level-4"> <strong>Internal Feeling<br>[M/P/M] - Layer 6</strong> </div> <div class="canvas-card level-4"> <strong>External Feeling<br>[M/P/P] - Layer 5</strong> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <!-- second-level again --> <div class="canvas-card level-2"> <strong>External Attitudes [Physical]</strong> <div class="canvas-grid"> <div class="canvas-card level-3"> <strong>Thinking [Physical/Mental]</strong> <div class="canvas-grid"> <div class="canvas-card level-4"> <strong>Internal Thinking<br>[P/M/M] - Layer 4</strong> </div> <div class="canvas-card level-4"> <strong>External Thinking<br>[P/M/P] - Layer 3</strong> </div> </div> </div> <div class="canvas-card level-3"> <strong>Sensing [Physical/Physical]</strong> <div class="canvas-grid"> <div class="canvas-card level-4"> <strong>Internal Sensing<br>[P/P/M] - Layer 2</strong> </div> <div class="canvas-card level-4"> <strong>External Sensing<br>[P/P/P] - Layer 1</strong> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> - First divisions are in purple - Second divisions are in red - Third divisions are in orange. --- We now have the complete subdivision blocks required to form each **Psychological Configuration** type. <span class="nav-buttons">[[4.1.1 Psychological Configuration Initial Subdivisions (Nature)|« Back]] [[4.1.3 Psychological Configuration Types (Nature)|Next »]]</span>
