Introduction
NXT Origin is the category for personality types that share common traits according to their instinctive approaches, forming their Type Outlook, Type Tactic, Type Instinct, and Type Nature in the NXT personality framework.
Overview
NXT Origin delves into the instinctive approaches that form one's personality, explaining the variation in conduct among different individuals. By breaking down this topic, one can understand the differing viewpoints and methods that people adopt in their daily lives.
As mentioned previously, humans are motivated by the four primal human desires, with each individual prioritizing the primal human desires differently. This difference in prioritization results in the formation of the four Personality Classes.
While each Personality Class corresponds to a desire, each class can be further specified based on the differing approaches to their desires. These approaches are known as Class Methods. There are a total of four Class Methods: Sensing, Intuition, Thinking, and Feeling.
Listed below is a brief summary of each Class Method:
- Sensing - Processing concrete realities.
- Intuition - Processing abstract concepts.
- Thinking - Processing logical reasons.
- Feeling - Processing emotional justifications.
Explorers and Builders will prioritize either Sensing or Intuition when making observations. Likewise, Leaders and Evolvers will prioritize either Thinking or Feeling when making decisions.
The combinations of the Personality Classes and Class Methods will result in distinctive sets of traits and preferences, forming the eight Type Instincts, which are the essence of the eight Cognitive Functions.
Furthermore, the varying priority of the eight Cognitive Functions will ultimately form the 32 archetypes in the NXT personality framework. The way in which the 32 archetypes are formed will be further explored and elaborated in the subsequent topics.
In short, NXT Origin is centered on the Class Methods, explaining how they shape and determine an individual's personality. Below are the topics that will be covered within NXT Origin.
Type Outlook
Type Outlook will delve into how the Explorer and Builder Personality Classes can be further specified based on different Class Methods. While each Personality Class has a corresponding desire, individuals within the class may prefer different approaches to the same desire. This preference determines their Type Outlook.
Individuals may prefer using Sensing to process concrete realities, or Intuition to process abstract concepts. This gives rise to the classifications of Sensors (S) and Intuitives (N).
Type Tactic
Type Tactic will delve into how the Leader and Evolver Personality Classes can be further specified based on different Class Methods. While each Personality Class has a corresponding desire, individuals within the class may prefer different approaches to the same desire. This preference determines their Type Tactic.
Individuals may prefer using Thinking to process logical reasons, or Feeling to process emotional justifications. This gives rise to the classifications of Thinkers (T) and Feelers (F).
Type Instinct
Type Instinct will delve into how an individual's Personality Class and preferred Class Method combine to shape their instinctive behavior. As people prioritize the primal human desires and Class Methods differently, each individual will have a unique pairing of these two aspects. This preference determines their Type Instincts.
There are a total of four Personality Classes, that can each be further specified based on two separate Class Methods. This gives rise to the classification of eight Type Instincts, with each individual possessing a primary Type Instinct.
Type Nature
Type Nature will delve into how an individual's Type Outlook and Type Tactic pair up to shape their natural inclination. As people prioritize the four Class Methods differently, each individual will have a unique pairing of their top two Class Methods. This preference determines their Type Natures.
There are two different Class Methods under Type Outlook, which can be paired with either of the two Class Methods under Type Tactic. This gives rise to the classification of four Type Natures: Factual Application (ST), Awesome Aspiration (SF), Theoretic Innovation (NT), and Imaginative Inspiration (NF).
