These three oppositions I call the differentiating features of quadra. All of them are included in the well-known list of Reinin, but very little researched in practice.In this article, one pair of traits I will name same as A. Aushra, since this name is already fixed in everyday socionics practice. This is the dichotomy &quot;democrats - aristocrats&quot;. Two other pairs of traits will be given names that differ from those given to them by A. Aushra, as the old names are rather awkward, both by their meaning and by their use that puts them on the same level as conventional everyday language. They seems to have been randomly and hastily chosen terms, to not leave newly originating concepts without terminological designations.Instead of the dichotomy &quot;merry - serious&quot;, that is far from the requirements of practice, I will be introducing a pair of opposing traits &quot;ascending - descending&quot;. Instead of the pair of traits &quot;judicious - decisive&quot;, which introduces considerable terminological confusion due to &quot;judicious&quot; being not seldom equated as a synonym to &quot;rational&quot;, I will use a more accurate in that sense dichotomy &quot;central - peripheral&quot;.<h3>Aristocrats and Democrats</h3>&quot;ARISTOCRATS&quot; (second and fourth quadra). These sociotypes are distinguished by predominance of vertical communication over horizontal. When vertical communication connections there is always a hierarchical inequality: boss - subordinate, senior - junior, our person - another person, etc. Such communication will inevitably have the nature of subordination. A person in aristocratic quadra is evaluated primarily by his communicative status respective to the person who is doing the evaluation (is he on my level or not?), and later on the other criteria.The degree of expression of the &quot;aristocratic&quot; trait, understood in a broad sense as subordination, is different for two aristocratic quadra. The second quadra has a more vividly expressed &quot;aristocratic&quot; trait than the fourth one. &quot;Aristocracy&quot; of second quadra is harsh and undisguised. It is always the division into servants and masters, talent and mediocrity, friends and enemies, which inevitably leads to a caste based social structure in the period of predominance of second quadra.In the fourth quadra there are no such social contrasts, therefore their &quot;aristocratic&quot; trait appears to be smoothed out. However, types from this quadra are also guided by the principle &quot;ours - theirs&quot; in assessing people. Are others living by the same laws as we are? Neither do doubts about the optimal nature of this quadra's priorities come up. The image of an enemy, as in the second quadra, is not formed, but people who behave in uncivilized way or simply intellectually immature individuals are put into second-class category.For &quot;aristocratic&quot; quadra time flows linearly and not cyclically. They can clearly separate past from future. Second quadra is oriented towards the future: this quadra is similar to a fired arrow that pierces time. Past is not valuable for the second quadra, on the contrary, it always carries a negative connotation. In the best case it is declared that it is needed to take up the most valuable developments, and move ahead. It is the second quadratic that produces ideas of the &quot;ideal&quot; governments of the future and tries to benefit all humankind by attempting to build them. The fourth quadra is more focused on the past, which is usually endowed by a positive image of established traditions that should not be changed but observed. Sociotypes of fourth quadra are opponents of various social experiments. In any case, due to the linearity of time perception in the two &quot;aristocratic&quot; quadras there is no recurrence of events, standing in one place in time. In periods of &quot;aristocratic&quot; quadra, there are no long period of stagnation or stasis.&quot;DEMOCRATS&quot; (first and third quadra). In these quadras the principle of horizontal communication predominates, that is, communication on equal terms, when there are no leaders and followers, people who are better or worse. The partner in communication is put on same level as oneself, not above or below. Accordingly, the attribute of subordination that is characteristic of &quot;aristocrats&quot; is missing here. Instead of power of a higher level center, &quot;democrats&quot; organize coordination between subjects of same level. Having hierarchical authority in periods of &quot;democratic&quot; quadra does not give any special privileges.&quot;Democracy&quot; as a trait is more pronounced in social organization of the third quadra. This is the most changeable quadra, which is committed to representational forms of government, constant elections and re-elections. During the period of the third quadra, tens or even hundreds of different parties become formed and enter into temporary coalitions. Interpersonal contacts are maximally informal, titles and ranks have very little weight here.The first quadra is not so &quot;democratic&quot;. Although horizontal communication for members of this quadra is a matter of course, third quadra's familiarity that transgresses all boundaries is shocking here. In the first quadra there is no such blatant individualism. &quot;Democracy&quot; here is not used it for public broadcasting of one's deviations from the norms. In the first quadra there are no struggles of disadvantaged minorities for their rights, for the simple reason that no one infringes on their rights in the first place, and minorities do not form with a harmonious lifestyle. &quot;Democracy&quot; is understood by the first quadra to rationally follow from natural laws.&quot;Democratic&quot; quadra do not live in linear but in circular (cyclic) time. The third quadra has a distinctly undulating rhythm of ups and downs, which are almost impossible to predict. Therefore, the sociotypes of the third quadra are very focused on the present moment. Traditions of the past are not very meaningful for them, they are most concerned about the near-by future. Stagnation in the life of the third quadra alternates with periods of turbulent reformations, while its economy is dominated by the elements of market supply and demand.In the period of the first quadra, time as if completely stops. This is the quadra of homeostasis - a dynamic equilibrium of society with its environment. Violent clashes don't occur for the most part, life goes on calmly and harmoniously. First quadra exists outside of time as one big family, in which one generation takes over the place of previous generation, reproducing an almost unchanged previously developed lifestyle. To be part of this &quot;cocoon&quot; is very comfortable, but at the same time dangerous: any aggression from outside quickly destroys it.<h3></h3><h3>Central and Peripheral</h3>&quot;CENTRAL&quot; (second and third quadra). The periods of these quadra are positioned in the middle in the overall macrocycle of social development. These periods turn out to be the most eventful and most expansive ones, and therefore attract much attention from the outside. In them, the concentration of energy per unit of communicative space reaches the highest values for a given society. For this reason, the times of second and third quadra - are the most boisterous times in history.Common priorities of &quot;central quadra&quot; - are information aspects F and T (Se and Ni), which in theory of socionics functions are interpreted as a force component in communication and the aspect of change under the influence of time, fatefulness. The fate of society is determined during the &quot;central&quot; period of its history, and not at the beginning or the end of its existence. It is the &quot;central&quot; sociotypes who are most susceptible to suggestion - persuasion and uncritical adherence to any program of external origin.Even though representatives of both quadra inevitably fall into the center of publicly significant events, still &quot;centrality&quot; as a sign of more pronounced in the second quadra and not as much in the third. This is connected with significant organizational talent of the sociotypes of second quadra and their innate penchant for collective action within the framework of strict discipline. Whatever the epoch is &quot;outside&quot;, but in the center of any strong organizations in primary roles are people of sociotypes from the second quadra.Third quadra represents a kind of a center instability and anarchic tendencies. More precisely, it is polycentric - it breaks down to several local centers, that compete with each other. This quadra is much better at using force in defense rather than offense and takeover. The time of third quadra is usually characterized by the adjectives &quot;confusing, turmoiled&quot;. It provides ground for the activities of various fraudsters and impostors. Instead of the official religion of a society, mystic and exotic cults gain popularity.&quot;PERIPHERAL&quot; (first and fourth quadra). Shared priorities of these quadra - are information aspects I and S (Ne and Si), i.e. free from ideological mix-ins style of thinking, and comfortable, nonviolent, harmonious with nature style of life. &quot;Peripheral&quot; sociotypes are not inclined to fight for power, to expansion and competition, as much as the &quot;central&quot; ones. They carry out their mission in the early onset of social development or in his late completion, when the heat and the passions of peak periods have already subsided or have not yet begun.&quot;Peripheral&quot; sociotypes rarely occupy key positions in leadership, and if they get them they don't keep there for long. If it much harder for &quot;peripheral&quot; sociotypes to become widely famous, to make an outstanding career, to go down in history. Even when representatives of &quot;peripheral&quot; quadra achieve something, success accompanies their activity only when they are on the periphery of public attention: when they live quietly, work informally, occupy ordinary positions.If we compare the degree of &quot;peripherality&quot;, the fourth quadra ends up being farther away from the center of attention. Fourth quadra is opposite the second one, which is always the most likely contender for the central positions. In addition, both of these quadra are aristocratic, thus, it is understandable that their co-existence is possible only when the leading positions are occupied by the second quadra. Thus, fourth quadra types are still relegated to the periphery.First quadra, as a whole, gets along better with the second one, since it feeds it by its ideas. Second quadra leadership may even bring the first quadra closer to itself. In a society, periodic shifts take place from territorial margins to its center. At this time, someone from first quadra can &quot;slip by&quot; and due to their unconventional ideas or harmonious, non-destructive style of life take up a central position.Each quadra can be defined as a commutative (not dependent on the order of the traits) intersection of two dichotomous axes. The number of combinations of three pairs of traits by two is equal to three. Thus, in total there are three ways to geometrically build quadra with the use of cross-shaped intersection of polar differentiating traits on a plane. Here are these methods presented graphically:<h2>One Turn of Quadral Estafette</h2>Analyzing the processes of transition from one socio-historical era to another, I noticed that the elements of a new way of life spills out immediately, one all-encompassing wave. Usually the period going to replace the obsolete, deployed initially passive and hidden. From this fact, I concluded that each period quadra relay begins with introverted site.And only after introverted work to penetrate the &quot;pores&quot; of the social organism is done to the end, there is a bright flash of extroverted activity was concentrated wafting all members of society to changing priorities. And if at the initial stage of introverted quadra many still doubt that the new rules will supersede the old, with the onset of the last subperiod extroverted doubt the victory of reputation lifestyle completely disappear.Another fact that I noted in the analysis of the dynamics of the historical process - is puzzling many people due to the fact that seemingly reached a complete success and social texture suddenly very quickly and gives a crack collapses before our eyes generations of his followers. This means that people are confused flowering (akmaticheskuyu phase) era with its finale that takes place in expansively extroverted.<h3>Intraquadral Roles</h3>All this led me to construct a theory vnutrikvadralnoy turnover types - quadra sweep. I am convinced that represent quadrupole as a gradual increase in activity to a climax with its subsequent decline to a level below the initial untrue. Quadra period is not a bright flash with dull beginning and end, and a chain of two flashes separated introverted subperiod stabilization.Also after the second burst of activity followed by a sharp break quadra quadra era and goes into oblivion. The second plot in extraverted quadra is final - this is her last burst of energy, but many researchers believe its climax than violate the logic of events: is there at the top and not only the rise of descent?Culmination of the present only the second plot: it is separated from both sides introverted, quiet areas, indicating that its key provisions. But the public consciousness for some reason does not keep up the historical process. That's when you need to operate at full capacity, winning the maximum number of points of support in society, many workers are just sleeping, waiting for better times. This is the cause of their subsequent failures.Thus, the whole quadra period should be divided into four sub-periods, or stages, each of which has the character of one of the members of the quadrupole sociotypes. And alternation types built on the principle of an introvert extrovert replaced. If we ignore the projection quadra relay on the dynamics of historical epochs, it is necessary to talk about the four roles in the quadra that should be assigned to its four sociotypes. What is this role?The first role is performed sociotypes interrupting previous deployment program quadra and sort it a piece of information that will serve as seed capital for the native quadra. Let us call this role delousing. Beginning of a new period proceeds always implicitly, so there can be only delousing introvert. In addition to the delousing as type, standing at the entrance quadra have the responsibility for compliance verification of actions obschekvadralnoy program.After skipping a quadrupole done, there is an intensive expansion quadra priorities in all areas of society. Active role distribution quadra values assumes one of extroverts quadra. By the end of the second phase culminates with the entire period, so performing this role sociotype called culminators. In culminators in emphatic form concentrated all its advantages and disadvantages quadra.Then, a feedback mechanism that adjusts the degree and direction obschekvadralnoy activity. For the culmination should introverted stabilization phase, during which the expansion is reduced, there is an internal reallocation of resources. sociotype responsible for these actions in the quadra called stabilizer. Stabilization subperiod gives quadra &quot;second wind&quot;, preparing her for the final spurt.Ends beautiful quadra and unexpected flash extroverted, during which finally settled contradictions accumulated throughout the quadra period. sociotype performing sprint is called Finalist. Last shot quadra spawns many illusions about the inviolability of proven orders. With the collapse of hope and transformation processes are started, which resulted in the quadra &quot;throws a bridge&quot; to the other side - his smenschitsy. Therefore Finalist - is both a type mezhkvadralnogo transition.If we arrange vnutrikvadralnye steps in chronological order, then line up the following chain of successive roles:Gatekeepers - Culminators - Stabilizers - Finalists</blockquote>
