Identifying an INFj

[EyeSeeCold]

In the Eastern part of the world, body shapes, facial features, communicative gesticulations, manners of speaking and gait have already long been attributed to or identified in Socionics types. I'm not saying they're accurate or inaccurate but if they have studies to back those up then you have to consider the possibility of psychology and cognition being manifested through physical structures and processes in humans.

If someone has personal observational evidence to back up physiological tendencies there's nothing wrong with that, but it would be backwards to try and find physiological correlations to Socionics when there are much more substantial fields of study to pursue that.

Alright, let's see how good the correlations the eastern socionists make actually are. But there's no way to really do that. Most or all of socionics could easily just be confirmation bias.

They supposedly have done studies, they mention them all the time. It's hard to find any databanks linking it all though, they have mostly been references to studies and not details of formal procedures and conclusions thereof. I found one but not sure where I did, besides this (sort of irrelevant) one of course, done on the Reinin dichotomies: http://www.the16types.info/vbulletin...in-Dichotomies.

The point of this thread is that EII, being a rational type, are very likely to analyze things and not just to either experience them or pass things around them as static images. This analysis has to do with making correlations, ties between things sometimes things that are seemingly different or unrelated, thus observing relationships and not just human relationships. I do observe a lot of human relationships, too, but I've noticed that I tend to "judge" or compare or build and make relationships between ideas that I read in one place to ideas of another place.
