This typology was developed by Pavel Platonov, and I am translating it into Ukrainian and adapting it to our realia. So, again, there are 24 types and 4 aspects. They represent a person's life choices, lifestyle, and values to which they devote their time and efforts.
Aspects
1. Work (daily life). These are the two main activities to which a person devotes themselves in order to be someone and socialise. They receive money and reputational benefits for their work, supporting their daily life and remaining in their family, rather than simply living under the sky.
People for whom this aspect is important and leading are called workaholics and careerists. The fulfilment of this function determines the realisation of an individual's plans in this area and their overall level of success.
2. Education. Everything related to preparing for independent living, a keen interest in science, learning about the world, as well as improving qualifications or retraining. Intellectuals, creative people, researchers, to a certain extent adventurers, people with a broad outlook have this aspect in 1st or 2nd place (as basic or creative).
3. Leisure. Here, the important thing is how much time a person spends relaxing. If you haven't been on holiday for many years in a row, then this aspect is painful and ranks third. All types of leisure activities, from bars and clubs to meditation, are located here.
4. Family. All significant blood relations, and to a certain extent, strong friendships. A full cycle of emotional attachments and feelings. Passion, love, affection, sympathy, admiration, friendship, trust, tenderness, care, etc. Here, one can also be responsible (the first two aspects) or lonely (the fourth aspect).
I will talk about individual types and small groups next time.
