    Default socionics symbols

    Was there a thread somewhere that discussed why the symbols were chosen the way they were to represent what they do? I vaguely remember something like it, but can't find anything in the search that talks about it.

    Does anyone know? Or should I make a thread on it? And yes, I know this isn't really important to types; it's mostly for the sake of having knowledge, even if seemingly useless and uninspiring to most.

    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?


    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

    This?

    A few words about the origin of the graphic symbols. We have represented black sensing with the symbol — a figure that suggest the fullest contact with the external world. Intuition is a triangle , which fits perfectly into a circle. Logic and ethics are the external form and the internal content of the same process. Therefore, if we represent logic with a square — a symbol of strict reasoning — then a symbol that fits into a square must be chosen to represent the internal aspect of the same process. Thus was born a square without one corner — .

    We will assign corresponding field elements the same symbols, only with a different color: , , , and .

    Awesome, thanks. That's exactly what I was curious about.

    Wow...you gathered all that from my posts? That's incredible, but also a little disconcerting. You should make your own socionics.
