[if unindividuated, the awkward "companion" preference of the Auxiliary]

 
 
Inferior:  the "companion" preference of the Dominant [S if Dominant is N; T if the Dominant is F or vice versa] andthe opposite energy direction [E if the Dominant is I] of the Dominant;

THE SHADOW:
[THE TERTIARY AND THE INFERIOR]
["THE AWKWARD" AND "THE POOR"]

YOUR TWO LEAST FAVORITE  PREFERENCES ARE IN YOUR TERTIARY (AWKWARD) AND YOUR INFERIOR (POOR):  THEY MAKE UP YOUR "SHADOW".
