The Thematic Hierarchy

I've constructed a model mirroring spiral dynamics. It's based on developmental stages. There is a lot of variation in which stage someone gets to in life. Each stage resembles a cognitive function. There are 16 levels but I haven't named the higher levels. Any type can be at any level but some types (Ni primary especially) are more likely to ascend the hierarchy.



The stages are as follows:

Appearance Se
Convention Si
Success Te
Learning Ti
Progressive Fe
Introspective Fi
Experimental Ne
Universal Ni
The Now Se
Rewriting Si
Mission Te
Axiom Ti
Fe
Fi
Ne
Ni

Anyway, don't worry about the names of the levels. The point is the order the functions go in

There is actually a second side of this, a different function order. And it goes:

Se
Si
Fe
Fi
Te
Ti
Ne
Ni

And then repeats in a higher form.

So while I is a bit higher than E, andN is much higher than S, there is a hierarchy where F is higher than T, and a hierarchy where T is higher than F.

Pretty much every stage based development model you see, many of them anyway, are a (rather bad) approximation of the function orders I have just shown.

I have just shown you the future of developmental psychology.

Is that a big deal?

I can't believe I've made one of the greatest breakthroughs in psychology EVER, and no one asks me questions about it.

There are multiple different hierarchies which follow this function order.

At least one of these models doesn't have higher versions of the functions, so it's two orders of 8 levels rather than 16.

The actualisation hierarchy, also known as the hierarchy of the unconscious and the elevator of enlightenment, Is a rather complex model involving multiple aspects, but part of this is the 16x2 levels that I have shown.

There is at least one hierarchy where I have developed higher Ni.

I know a few hierarchies.
