LIST OF "STATIC-DYNAMIC" CLUSTERS:

5. Static – absence or fragmentariness of plot-based fantasies. Dynamic – wide presence of plot-based fantasies.
6. Static – weak episodic memory, rare reference to it. Dynamic – many emotionally rich events are stored in episodic memory and often retrieved, replayed in thoughts.
7. Static – dominance of information through the visual analyzer; dynamic – dominance of information through the auditory analyzer, which is highly developed in all areas.
8. Static – secrecy, “buttoned-up” nature. Dynamic – talkativeness, confessional nature (possibly supported by increased dopamine activity).
9. Static – intropunitiveness, placing responsibility on oneself rather than on chance or others. Dynamic – extrapunitiveness, placing responsibility on chance, luck, or others.

Results

We begin the discussion right from the end—with the main conclusion.
Namely, the examination of the resulting clusters allows us to hypothesize that the static pole is associated with increased activity of norepinephrine, serotonin, and acetylcholine, and decreased activity of histamine and dopamine (all or some of these neurotransmitters). In the case of the dynamic pole, on the contrary, one should expect increased activity of histamine and dopamine in the CNS, with a decrease in the activity of norepinephrine, serotonin, and acetylcholine (again, all or some of these neurotransmitters).

Next, we will sequentially examine the composition (and therefore, the detailed content) of all the static-dynamic clusters listed in Table 1.
A word of warning: much of what we will find in the clusters may come as a surprise—for instance, plot-driven fantasies are significantly more characteristic of dynamic-logical types than of dynamic-ethical ones (at least, the author of the article initially assumed otherwise). In fact, the socionics “champion” for plot-driven fantasies turns out to be the LIE (followed by LSE, EIE, ESE). Therefore, the most plot-heavy novels are presumably written by LIE authors. One such writer can be named for sure—the well-known Russian hard science fiction author Al-r Nik. Gromov, truly a master of dynamic plot. Another example is the famous Soviet author Alexey Tolstoy (who, in our view, is often mistakenly typed as ILI—where he likely does not belong). A strong, dynamic plot filled with action is also characteristic of the novels by LSE Yuri Korchevsky. The EIE Lev Tolstoy also wrote lengthy plot-driven novels.

On the other hand, statics with plot imagination don’t fare well, so if they become writers, they usually create shorter works rather than novels. Vladimir Korolenko (LII), Anton Chekhov (intermediate between EII and IEE), and Arthur Blair (LII) are clear examples of this. Maxim Gorky, however, easily wrote long works, which suggests that he was unlikely a static—more likely, a dynamic.
