Scientific Query: Are there consistent patterns in body language, and if so what do they indicate about psychology?
Hi.
So Physiognomy.Me was the Beta phase of what is now CognitiveType and Motus was a project we did back then. However, CognitiveType doesn't start out without a premise like the Motus project. It operates on the premise that the psychology proposed by Carl Jung adequately describes the nature of the human psyche - and the method of VR it uses are representative of those concepts. However, the above is a methodology by which this assumption could be put to the test. Starting with absolutely no basepoint, this project would aggregate thousands of cues and create classes for each new signal, and see how the data naturally sorts itself out statistically -- and see whether or not the data does naturally fall into 16 definite patterns. Or any of the concepts of CognitiveType such as the relation between Ti and Fe, or the dominant & polar wheel.
For those who don't know, physiognomy.me was the forerunner project to this one where we did a lot of experimenting and testing as to what signals appear together and how often. We started a catalog, but we were doing this all by hand so after a while we grew really tired. Something like an A.I. could be programmed in the future to do all of this at hundreds of times faster than we could, though, and the project completed. But anyhow, just in doing this manually the consistencies started to emerge and though the strenuous "formal" study ceased, the implications/patterns the data was making were still unforgettable.
I continued to use essentially this same sort of method of connecting similar signals but in my head -- weeding out inconsistent signals, keeping consistent signals, and gauging the accuracy of partially-consistent signals -- and made the correlations from which the Larin series is based more holistically, mostly for my own knowledge and out of my own curiosity. So that's where things emerged. The larin series is subjective in that sense, which - considering what I know about subjectivity/objectivity and human limitations, cannot be helped nor do I consider it wrong. All we can do is seek our own truths, and I must let others decide how accurately they believe my judgment to be by letting them form their own by presenting to them information.
