Yes, that's a great point. Even experienced Socionists seem to go down that path. I think who a person's friends are is corroborating evidence for type, but by no means conclusive.

Here's another biggie:

"That person shows a lot of . Therefore, he's ILI."

Somehow, people assume that if someone has a function as a quadra value, then that means the person displays that function prominently. It could be true sometimes, more often not. A great example of how Ni types value Se is depicted in the relationship between Rocky and Adrian. Note that Adrian doesn't demonstrate an awful lot of Se, but she still likes Rocky.
