It works by drilling down into each of the four preference pairs (Extraversion–Introversion, Sensing–Intuition, Thinking–Feeling, and Judging–Perceiving) to reveal five intrinsic facets for each. It highlights how these 20 facets fit with Step I type and where there are inconsistencies that can explain interpersonal challenges.
