none of the above. treating the dichotomy in this fashion will get you absolutely nowhere.
Lol. Your preference is determined by your type, so what are you asking?

Maybe read some Socionics literature for yourself before you come around asking us to explain every single thing to you.

We loved so many, yet hated so much,
We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

Well, I'm allegedly P, but I think J is better.Originally Posted by KSpin

P is better than J : why ?
P types are flexible and tolerant - J types are aggressive and hostile
P types live on reality - J types live on a bubble
P types sees what IS - J types sees what SHOULD BE
P types are realistic - J types are bureaucratic

I'm confident in my ability to be able to plan... then change that plan if needs be. In this way, you could say I'm either a j type with a well-developed p side, or a p type who knows how to utilise j effectively.Originally Posted by Expat
I was joking, dudeOriginally Posted by Ezra
O really? What about the Ep, Se dominants?Originally Posted by Ezra
Err.. You're saying Ni dominants have no sense of timing at all?Originally Posted by Ezra
Wow. What about Ne, Ni dominants.Originally Posted by Ezra
Again, you're saying the Ne and Ni dominants have no imagination. And they're irritationals. "p" types.Originally Posted by Ezra
lol. I hope you're joking.

this topic does not exist. it is a figment of the collective unconscious of all.
HAHAHA. First sign of insanity attempting to deny reality. Or, as some people would have it, "only human".
Mea, I assumed " " signified my joking tone. Perhaps being fun-loving just doesn't translate well over a screen.
you're relatively new, so we'll give you a pass for your lack of experience: my insanity was established around here long, long ago.Originally Posted by Ezra
I see many reasons to think I'm more rational than irrational. The absolute model of socionics is misleading. One exists in some point of a scale between two extremes and the closer you're to the middle the more characteristics you share of both modes.

I am irrational according to just about every J/P description out there.
I think j has always been more evident for me. I have flashes of p, but it has never come natural to me.
Mike, you're right, although Socionics doesn't teach in poles and in dichotomies as such, most people are closer to rational/irrational if they're irrational/rational respectively than they might think.
Maybe you're an LSI. This would explain why I feel like I have to follow you everywhere with a blunt object in hand.Originally Posted by Ezra

FWIW, LSI is considered "the most extroverted" of introverts (Se subtypes obviously moreso than Ti).

So what makes them different to, say, LSEs?Originally Posted by Gilly
Heheh, I only said it because several times in the past I've been directed to "Rick's Blog" and told to "think in terms of functions not dichotomies". I was just clarifying that I was in fact thinking in terms of functions and not dichotomies.Originally Posted by KSpin
LSIs and LSEs have completely different ego-block functions. That's how they're different.Originally Posted by Ezra

The thing is, your statement showed that you -were- thinking in dichotomies.Originally Posted by Ezra
Saying you cannot have an introverted first function means you were essentially saying you couldn't be introverted. (So you must be Extroverted... and therefore thinking in dichotomies)

Like I said, I learn while I speak. I learn through interaction with others. I learn that you have a huge problem with me through what you say.
I don't have a huge problem with you, though what I've said to you so far pretty clearly implies as much. I try not to form really solid opinions on people ever; I do my best to treat people as they treat me, unless their behavior clearly merits otherwise by my judgment.
I just think you need to make an effort to learn on your own before asking us to spoonfeed you and deal with your annoying questions.

Sorry. I should have known a 7 can't stand all this that has gone on too many times before.
I will keep saying this until people take reason and learn the truth about this. If what you say here is true, then you cannot be an INTj. We should not accept a contradiction, and your presumed type contradicts what you say here. Therefore you are not an INTj, or what you state above is false. Choose another type, or change your understanding of the J/P dichotomy, please.Originally Posted by labcoat
