Irrationality – a trait that enables creative and unconditional approach to eventual changes in time and space. As a result, forced prescriptions (laws, rules, decisions, relations, plans) make any irrational personality type to feel discomfort. In socionics, irrationality is considered as an opposite to rationality.
In the international designations of socionics, that consist of four letters, the fourth letter P stands for irrationality.

Irrationality (P) | |

| If I am suddenly interrupted while executing my duties | It makes me feel discomfort | I’m taking it easy and peacefully |
| Laws and rules | make a person feel secured | limit the creative expression of a person |
| If the implementation of a project is late | I will definitely remind about the deadline | I will adapt to changes, as all things are unpredictible |
