Human Social Temperaments: yin, yang, and harmony

The three basic human social temperaments are yin, yang, and harmony for feminine collective wellbeing, masculine individualistic achievement, and harmonious connection, respectively. The harmonious temperament transcends yin yang, and exists only in human. The theory of human social temperaments is the combination of the three popular theories, including the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Big Five, and the Merrill-Reid social style theory. The theory starts with the personality system based on the brain structure and neurotransmitters. Human social temperaments are derived from the personality system and the instincts. The yin, the yang, and the harmonious temperaments produce the collective, the individualistic, and the harmonious societies, respectively. The five factors in the personality system are Bonding relation-Free relation, Sensitivity-Assertiveness, Distinctiveness-Network, Goal-Context, and Persistence-Updating, corresponding to agreeableness, extraversion, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness in the Big Five. The combination of the factors (Bonding relation, Network, and Context) in the personality system results in the yin personality for feminine collective wellbeing. The combination of the factors (Free relation, Distinctiveness, and Goal) results in the yang personality for masculine individualistic achievement. The social temperaments are the combination of the yin-yang personalities and the active-passive intragroup interactions among the basic social units. The combination results in yin passive, yin active, yang passive, and yang active, corresponding to Amiable, Expressive, Analytical, and Drive in the popular Merrill-Reid social style theory. Each temperament has its positive and negative instincts. The additional temperament is harmony that transcends yin-yang, and exists only in human. The instinct for the harmonious temperament (harmonious) is the conscience instinct that is the combination of the hyper friendly instinct and the detective instinct (theory of mind), resulting in maximum eager cooperation without lie. The yin, the yang, and the harmonious temperaments produce the collective, the individualistic, and the harmonious societies, respectively.
