    Default Dual-type theory --- What are Gulenko's opinions?

    Tcaudillg often refers to Gulenko when he tries to convince someone of his dual-type theory but he never presents any references. So we should try to find out what Gulenko really believes - and what tcaudillg might have misunderstood...

    I'm not much into machine translation because you never know if you really understand what the author wants to say. The only article I found where Gulenko talks about energy types is Man as a system of types (Russian original).

    Someone who speaks Russian should try to make a readable text out of it. Are there more texts about it?

    That's actually the latest article I've been working on translating. It's pretty clear at this point that Gulenko's "Energy Types" are a direct expansion of his DCNH subtypes, and are therefore not related to tcaud's theory.

    Great! So that's already the first of tcaudillg's misconceptions! He claims that Gulenko is of the opinion DCNH had nothing to do with a second type...

    Then I dispute either the quality of your translation or else, your interpretation of it.

    I have been in contact with Gulenko and have formally affirmed that he and I are talking about the exact same phenomena.

    And I quote: "I understanding you are defending the precept that there are two types in the same person. In our socionics such developments have emerged." (emphasis mine) He goes on to state that he is following Jung's example in the development of the theory, developing "first 2, then 4, then a system of types." Because the theory is not yet ready for publication, he has been developing it on his blog.

    Has Gulenko specifically told you that the phenomenon is not an extension of DCNH? EM sounds like the 16 after the 2, 4, 8.

    Afaik Gulenko is among the most influential socionists in the East and has been doing this shit fo' a minute He may not have become a God yet, but I'm sure he's not far from finding the orb.

    Actually the royals didn't hold him in high esteem at all, particularly because of his tendency to make mistakes.

    Gulenko is an LII-LSI. His expertise is in tracing moving energy, not so much personality theory. I think the primary reason for his interest in socionics is to create (EM) dualizing intellectual material. He has a habit of trying to approach socionics in terms of strong and weak traits, as per his strong Se EM. Systematization is secondary.

    And with that I'm leaving this thread because there is a critical shortage of proactive mental energy among the other participants... not fair for me to think for other people, particular T types.

    Gulenko's introduction to his Descriptions of the DCNH Subtypes in which he talks about the difference between a man's words and his deeds, is clearly referring to the same thing as "Man as a System of Types" article. He's referring to the same phenomenon in both places.

    Has Gulenko read and understood your theory, or is he basing his comments on the superficial resemblance between the two (i.e., both propose in some way that each person has two sociotypes)? I have not seen anywhere in Gulenko's theory, for example, where he proposes that Energy types can be linked to particular fields of interest or employment.

    For the record, I don't side with either of you. My only interest is the truth.

    That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. How else does a man become wise, except by seeking wisdom? Obviously, not everybody who seeks a thing finds it, but to say that the act of seeking precludes the possibility of finding is just irrational amphigory.

    Consider the scenario that a person seeking wisdom learns that seeking precludes wisdom: that person would then cease searching, and thus become more wise as a direct result of seeking. Hence, seeking wisdom initially cannot preclude finding wisdom in the end. It is still possible that some segment of wisdom cannot be obtained until after the deliberate searching has ended, however.

    I would think that every action under the sun (or above it, depending on your frame of reference) both precludes finding some wisdom and unlocks some other wisdom.

    Naturally, actions performed when precisely on an even plane with the sun have no effect on wisdom either way.

    No, it's not. It's the same way with women. Seeking out a woman just drives her away. You have to be somewhat detached from them to get them. Same thing with wisdom I think - true wisdom comes from detachment from knowledge.

    Knowledge is not wisdom in the same way that fuel is not a car. Knowledge is what wisdom acts upon.

    I have to assume that you guys who think this have some weird new-agey definition of what wisdom is. Wisdom is 1. Insight into the true nature of things, and 2. Good sense and the ability to make good decisions. Both of those are gained from experience and learning.

    Yes, of course, some people who seek wisdom will never find it. And sometimes just living life without particularly seeking wisdom will gain you enough experience to be considered "wise". But to say that those who seek wisdom will never find it is pure nonsense that sounds vaguely profound because it's counter-intuitive like some Eastern mystical proverb. But not everything that's counter-intuitive is true, much less profound. More often, the truth is simple and straightforward.

    If I ignore success I shall one day be succesful! Oh wait...

    Anyway, saying that if you're tring to achieve something you will never achieve it and that if you ignore something you will have it is just mumbo jumbo mystical talk. You won't get anything if you do nothing and just because when you're doing one thing you happen upon another does not mean that you must ignore that thing to get it.

    And using women as evidence isn't reasonable. Women are crazy. Many that I have known like to be persued very devotedly also....

    Agreed with the above two posts.

    RE: not pursuing women in order to get them, that only works when it makes you seem more mysterious. Eventually you'll have to let them get to know you, after which time they'll figure out you were full of it and not really mysterious.

    If you want a woman, just be retarded. If you are wise, never marry. I personally am trying to become full retard myself, but apparently there's a huuuuuge waiting list.

    This thread was not supposed to be a discussion about wisdom and women...

    Conclusion: We don't know what Gulenko thinks about energy types - but being wise and having a woman is more important...?
