NT the Promethean type.
This type must live in a world seemingly & apparently surrounded by "aliens".
"To be able to understand, control, predict, and explain realities...the four aims of science:
control and understanding, prediction and explanation. Scratch an NT, find a scientist.
"...in the acquisition of skill and knowledge. The NT must be competent in whatever
domain of enterprise or inquiry he chooses;"
"He must be wholly competent in his work and in his play,"
"His communications tend to be terse, compact, and logical."
"...the NT cold, remote, and enigmatic."
"...can easily become isolated in an ivory tower of intellectualism, seemingly cut off from
the world other types find as reality."
"...NT's will be lost to others because of this tendency to communicate at levels of
abstraction others find unintelligible."
"At times, a NT can be quite oblivious to the emotional responses of others and may not
always be sensitive to the complexities of interpersonal relations."

NF the Apollonian type.
"...NF' search for self is circular and thus perpetual."
"...to satisfy his hunger for unity and uniqueness, to become self-actualized into a perfect
whole and to have an identity which is perfectly unique,"
"No matter how the NF structures his time and relationships, he needs to have meaning. He
wants their significance appreciated, or, at the very least, recognized as existing. Only through
this kind of feedback does the NF know that he has unique identify."
"...no facade, no mask, no pretense, no sham, no playing of roles. To have integrity is to be
genuine, to communicate authentically, to be in harmony with the inner experience of self."
"NF's are extremely sensitive to subtleties in gestures and metaphoric behavior nor always
visible to oher types; he is also vulnerable to adding dimensions to communications which
are not always shared or perceived by others."
"The search for meaning as a necessary pilgrimage for all people is advanced by the NF's in
their writings."
"More than any other group NF's can speak and write fluently, often with poetic flair."
"...NF's may exhibit a sense of mission, using their creative efforts to win followers for their cause,"
"Work toward midwifing people into becoming kinder, warmer, and more loving human beings appeals
to NF's."
"Some NF's are willing to make great personal sacrifices to help others find their way."
"...always wants his experiences to have meaning beyond the mere event."
"...they seek relationships...with interaction. As the NF seeks self-actualization in identity
and unity, he is aware that this is a life-long process, an ideal toward being and becoming
a final, finished self."

SJ the Epimethean type.
"...he must be the giver, not the receiver; the caretaker, not the cared for."
"...the SJ supports his parental and responsibility purposes which a belief in and desire for
hierarchy. For the SJ the hierarchical structure of society is the essence of society. There
should be subordinance and superordinace. There should be rules which govern the
interactions of members, certainly in the city, school, church, and corporation, but also in
the family."
"...the SJ is prepared. Many of his actions are preparations for those setbacks and untoward
events that are bound to occur. ...we should see him as being realistic about error and
shortages."
"This same sanction for hierarchy is also expressed in the SJ's reverence for elders and in their
belief that elders should be respected and deferred to."
"If there is a job to be done, a task to be executed, a duty to fulfill, the SJ feels that he
somehow has an obligation to see that the end is accomplished,"
"...SJ is receiving far less appreciation than is his due."

SP the Dionysian type.
"...Dionysian SP must be free; he will not be tied or bound or confined or obligated. To do as he
wishes...today must be enjoyed," "Of all the styles, the SP works best in crises, and the
deeper the crises, the more apt he is to respond quickly and dramatically."
"Dionysians frequently are described by friends as "exciting, optimistic, cheerful,
light-hearted, and full if fun." Socially, SP's tend to be charming and witty
conversationalists, often having an inexhaustible repertoire of jokes and stories."
"The atmosphere takes on a glow, seems brighter, more colorful- charged with
adventure."
"Oddly, the SP seems to have endurance beyond that of other types; he seems
able to put up with discomfort, deprivation, hunger, fatigue, pain, and show
courage in a way other types do not."
"...esprit de corps, is loyal to his brothers, and defends his group..."

NF the Apollonian.
"Apollo was the self-appointed bearer if truth,...Apollo symbolizes the duality of the Hellenic
spirit: the urge to ideals, to truth, to beauty, to spiritualit ad sacredness..."
"He stood for the Grecian ideal of purity of spirit, of dedication to helping others, of the bringer
of therapeutic music and song. He represented the healer of mind and body. He was he giver
of prophecy, spokesman for the gods, the inspirer and the inspiratonal..."
"...efforts to bring peace and happiness to man."

Less mythology, more science.

SP - hormone: Dopamine ("Explorers")
SJ - hormone: Serotonin ("Builders")
NT - hormone: Testosterone ("Directors")
NF - hormone: Estrogen ("Negotiators")

http://hunternuttall.com/blog/2009/02/the-science-of-seduction/

I have done extensive research on this. With drugs.

Let me tell you.

Stimulants increase dopamine and testosterone.

Excessive sexual stamina tweaks your estrogen level.

(serotonin is very dangerous to mess with and nobody should try this at home in any case)

This is how we're gonna build cybernetic organisms in the future. More on that later.
