I value knowledge of the self over all else, and it governs every area of my life. I hope to use socionics to help myself and others to the effect of spreading self knowledge! But it has its limits of course. Other parts of the theory are really secondary to that main point.
Socionics is how I understand people.
Pretty useless other than for mental masturbation.Originally Posted by Nico1e

It does help with some preliminary planning in social environments.. But you should really just learn about it, ditch it, then use it instinctually with moderate consideration when the opportunity pops up.

To better understand differences between people, how people communicate, what people communicate, what attracts people to other people, etc etc etc.

Nothing can ruin my optimism about the usefulness of socionics, for now.A wave of pessimism just hit this topic, I wonder if it will recover
whoa, that's weird. When I quote you, the words that appear in the quote are different from the words that are showing up on the screen. It looks like a previous edit. I was going to say 'use videodrome to destroy videodrome.' (Somebody recommended that I watch 'Videodrome' recently.) Use socionics to destroy socionics?
I was very interested in personal relations and the way that different people have clear but predictable differences in their relative strengths and weaknesses and preferences. Socionic theory reflected what I had observed and had already to some extent intuitvely knew to be correct. In this sense I found it fascinating, it filled in the picture where before I was just forming a outline. I am on this forum as I still have a genuine interest in this theory, however I am more interested in the interactions between the diverse and generally intelligent members.
Socionics shouldn't have to do anything, it describes an aspect of social systems, it describes aspect of indvidual cognition and the exchange of information. As soon as the system is described, it does of course change the system, awareness distorts, it will create bias and give names to groups, that otherwise would not have been formalised through language, so of course as/if socionics spreads these changes will grow and be magnified. However I do not believe that having 'socionics' do anything would be particularly helpful, due to the potential for stereotyping (imagine playground bullying etc., employer prejudice etc.), and the possibility of some people assuming type-confirming behaviours. However that is not to say that if picked up organically by teachers, researchers etc... it could be useful for helping people understand themselves, their strengths and weaknesses, and aspects of their social world, this is very much how I have used it.

I do notice differences whenever I go to other forums about MBTI, where they aren't aware of quadras. There is more of an attitude that says 'anybody can talk to anybody.' I'm thinking of PersonalityCafe, for instance - I don't really like it over there, but I sometimes go there out of boredom. I like it that anybody can talk to anybody, so yeah, in that way, there is an absence of bias. Over here we're more likely to assume that we shouldn't even try to talk to particular people.
However, even without the knowledge of the system, people are still having preferences for particular types that they like, and they avoid types that they dislike. They just don't have a good way to describe why they don't like those types. Also, I see so many people who don't even know what to look for, when they try to imagine what kinds of relationships would be the most desirable and the easiest for them. So I definitely prefer socionics.
I would like to use Socionics for many many reasons and areas of life. Everything from Business, Law, to Psychology, and Medicine; I'm always reading different publications to see how the idea may be applied to other scenes and areas of life. Just the other day my boyfriend suggested that I speak at a seminar.

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

I guess at this point, nothing. I decided I don't really like trying to make accurate assumptions about people. I wouldn't want them to do that to me and I would rather accept people and myself for what I am in a given moment, rather than feel a need to be consistent.
I guess some people will think that is immoral or that I'm not being fair with people, but I would then say they aren't being fair to me either, if such a claim was made against me.
It's also kind of annoying not really knowing how much of this stuff mirrors reality or is just a result of my mind wanting to make answers out of an ever-changing reality. I suppose, in truth, there isn't much difference between the two, however.
It would be cool if someone were able to come up with a Model T approach that could stand up to scientific scrutiny though. I think something like that in the scope of socionics could be a lot more interesting when we can show what assumptions we are making.
It always seemed odd to me that some types can be labeled 'harmonizers' and yet have a specifically defined relationship with all the other types. If that were always true, then the type wouldn't be harmonizing, would they?
I don't think any typology can meet your scientific expectations. Just how accurately do you think science can describe 'you'? Do you think your personality and your identity can be represented in a numerical model? Is that what you hope to have when psychology finally 'mirrors reality'? I'm genuinely curious if you think this is possible, and if so, what do you think it would look like? How would you overcome philosophical problems like the question of the human machine and our uniqueness as a species and as individuals?
I've recently begun believing that abstractions that cannot be numerically expressed govern our human experience, something psychology tries to investigate, hence their incongruity.
Mental masturbation came to mind when I saw this. Im not sure yet. So far socionics has helped me to understand stuff that always been there, I just didn't know WHY it was - I don't have as much doubt now.
To me socionics can be pleasant as:
mental masturbation <3
seducing people
something to talk about with fellow hobbyists, especially when in a group who doesn't understand it and don't want to be reduced into mere letters
seducing people
playing with people
Socionics uses me. I do n t use it. Im a victim.
When I was looking into socionics in the beginning, I guess I was looking for a new way to understand myself or something. Forer effect or whatever, before that I'd always taken personality type tests and felt like I'd figured out a few pieces of who exactly I was at that moment. And it happened to also try to give some insight into who my counterpoint would be, which was cool too. After I delved into it further, I guess a lot of the underlying assumptions of the theory (information metabolism, cognitive preferences and capabilities, etc) have pretty much become part of how I fundamentally view reality. Socionics itself has more or less become my standing best explanation of people and how they get along or don't, so I tend to put on my Rus-colored glasses when I run into problems or I just get bored. I have a hard time nailing down people's types irl so it's a pretty limited tool for me.

Ultimately I use socionics for the upliftment of the middle class and the betterment of the human race.
It's not that I want people to be kinder in like a weak way, preaching that others should treat each other more decently is what any politician could do. It's that we are in a real battle in the real world of evil forces set out to destroy the middle class. It's not just an evaporation on the class, it's a serious destruction of an entire group of people.
On a grand meditative scale, there is a bio-feedback-link that exists between 'us' and them', ie people who are exploiting you and feeding upon all your empathy to nourish themselves .....as immoral as that is to most of us, there is still a sort of connection. The connection must be slowly and meticulously severed in order for them to become immortal. (and in turn, the rest of us perished) But don't feed in and start hating them or take my post too intensely because that's another part of The Trick.
The conquest for immortality, like anything else isn't something that's done in 'one grand gesture all at once.' There is a tempo to all of it, and the primarily plan to first destroy a race is to destroy the tempo. Once somebody's proper understanding of tempo, rhythm and universal flow is cut off from themselves, you easily control them and manipulate other authority figures to always keep your eye on them. You try to give them a sense of fake guilt, and so everybody who is in positions of power is corrupt and will look upon people who can still feel guilty to control them, because they lack the balls to stand up to those who are truly incapable of guilt or empathy. You see this weakness and perversion all the time in society, where we only chastise those who can be chastised. This weakness is exactly how The First Evil plans to execute every person who is in middle class, as well as every person who in search of their own identity- because your own true, unique identity self is part of your inner god-demon, which is how anybody becomes immortal in the first place. They are just much farther along in the tempo of things, although they are still effected by disease.
And then there is also the technological imprint to say none of this matters and to just 'lighten up' and that's what they want you to do. If a human being is suffering and you laugh at them, whoever needs your help will naturally just become mad at you. In the end, this isn't to be taken personally but understood in the objective sense. They want us to turn on each other and eat our own family (other middle classers) instead of get along , and have real hate be under the thin veil of 'Oh I was just joking around.' Thus the rage boils until finally an all war will break out and we kill each other, and they feed on this destruction and chaos that they instigated, in order to manifest a portal that will allow them to achieve pure heavenly bliss.
This is already done in a diluted way with Hollywood vs. Suburban folk and it will just keep on going on until a greater equanimity is achieved, until a proper revolution takes place and we do not let ourselves be intimidated by the mask of fake niceness. Or.... until we are destroyed. There are real lives at stake here and you don't really know what's going to happen, you can only skip and dance to a musical flow and tempo of things to control all other reality and see where everybody else is going vibrationally. If wars are fought they must be done to the proper beat or you will be warped back in another 'stuck dimension' whereas the other people are pulling your puppet strings from another line they took in the eternal hexagonal sphere of the universe. It seems so far away, and that's how the illusion of spacetime is maintained. "It seems" , "it appears", "it looks to be this" but NO NO NO. Don't see through just the veils you want to see, see through it ALL. Once you see reality as it truly is its such an awakening experience that your cells in your body should literally feel like they are raising. Congratulations, a gay male Shaman who is now level 99 (me) just helped you.
