What This Is
This is a study reference for Model-L Socionics. It shows how each type distributes the 16 monadic information metabolism elements across the Model-L cross, while keeping a bridge back to the familiar Model A stack.
How To Use It
- Guided Lesson: step through the core workflow with the tool changing layers and opening examples for you.
- Type Journey: walk through the currently selected type as a focused profile: identity, strengths, radial supports, pressure points, valued needs, exact monads, relationships, and study prompts.
- Select Type: choose one of the 16 types to update the fictional portrait, Model-L cross, element library, relations, bridges, presence cube, and print sheet. Repeated selectors inside sections stay in sync.
- Model-L Cross: start with the main diagram; it shows all 16 monadic positions for the selected type.
- Fictional Type Portrait: finish with an illustrative character vignette and image for the selected type. The portrait image set and story variant are chosen automatically when you select a type.
- Dichotomy Explorer: recolor the cross by dimensionality, priority, base dichotomies, or derived groups; contrast cards explain each value and Layer Tour animates through the main layers.
- Tap a Model-L cell: open a plain-English explanation, compare it with another position, save a Position Study card, and read the full dichotomy table.
- Monadic Element Library: review each exact monadic element and where it sits for the selected type.
- Study Set: save useful position cards and relationship comparisons, add notes, and print only your saved material.
- Intertype Relationship: compare two types, see their Model-L grids, read the relationship path, and use the element lens to compare exact monadic forms.
- Relationship Study View: scan the full relation map for the selected type and jump back into a chosen comparison.
- Relations as Currents: read asymmetric supervision and benefit as one-way currents. Use the animated ring selector to switch between supervision, reverse supervision, benefit, and reverse benefit.
- Quadra Pattern View: compare relation and element patterns through quadra groupings.
- Model A Bridge: use the 2x4 bridge layout after the relationship sections and toggle between element notation and traditional symbols.
- Model G Bridge: use the energy-role bridge as a cautious comparison lens, with Gulenko's role names kept separate from Model A function names.
- Presence Cube: read the Model A presence traits, then see how the same construction expands into Model-L's 16-position geometry.
- Glossary: browse terms by topic; interactive terms jump to the matching view.
- Search / Pattern Finder: use the bottom tools to jump to types, positions, elements, dichotomies, glossary terms, or intertype relations. Pattern Finder searches across all types by element, position, capacity, status, and quadra.
- Dichotomy Quiz: test position names, elements, dimensionality, priority, and dichotomy values.
Navigation
The sticky section bar follows the page order: the Model-L cross first, then the reference sections, relationship views, bridges, Presence Cube, Search / Find and Pattern Finder tools, and finally the fictional portrait at the bottom.
Model A Bridge
The stack mapping is: Leading to A1, Creative to A2, Role to D1, Vulnerable to D2, Suggestive to D3, Mobilizing to D4, Ignoring to A3, and Demonstrative to A4. The displayed row order follows the common 1-2 / 4-3 / 6-5 / 7-8 block layout.

Tip: on iPad, landscape orientation gives the cross and detail panel more breathing room.
