im acquainted with HBDI. i agree with what you pair everything with. i understand what you did too. question is, what is the application? if this is just a simplification of MBTI, or if that is your goal, great, but if it has no application besides that then fine. the only reason we have systems like MBTI or HBDI is to describe something we dont understand. one cannot define what T is or what S is or N or whatever in the brain so we come up with a model to represent such processes.
i agree that it is "reductionistic", but personally i dont want to change a model that describes something we cant define pretty well. you could also be "reductionistic" by using the temperaments or the functions.
