Quaternary Frameworks (Classical Four Temperaments, DISC, PAEI, Helen Fisher)
4-type models and Socionics.
16 scales across 4 models peak on 4 of the 15 dichotomies - extraversion, planfulness, logic and antagonism - half as many rows as Study 2 reaches.
Three of the four fold into two axes - extraversion for the temperaments and DISC, planfulness for Fisher's. PAEI does not.
Choleric, Dominance and Director top and bottom out on the same pair of types.
Sanguine with Influence and Administrator with Conscientiousness come similarly close.
The four classical temperaments.
What each temperament marks
All four peak on the same row - extraversion/introversion.
