From element to system
From simple to complex
Up the system levels
Gestaltic Progress
From whole to part

From complex to simple
Down the system levels
Temporal Processing Patterns
How different types navigate through time and process temporal information
Time Line
Elaborative Temporal Intuiting
Types: Skeptic (ILI), Dramatist (EIE), Humanist (EII)
Looks at the present from the past, projects historical patterns forward.

Merit-based hierarchy
Politics, coalitions
Organic Formations
