How often are you wrong and on what things are you wrong more often?
What about the things you are very often correct about?
How do you know you are right?

I'm never wrong, but if I really trust you I'll tell you I'm lying.

You would be wrong to trust me!

Right about: things that need to get done by or on certain time; people; right about finance; right about what's going to happen or what will happen;
Wrong: that I'm useless, I often downplay or criticize my own will; wrong about excessive excitement about ideas that may not be too useful.

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

I wait for the future to see if the results I was pushing came to fruition. When they do, I declare them to be right.

And how does this apply in your typings?

I've screamed, begged, argued, rolled over, threw them a donut, anything to try to convince them that they are that type and to very little result as I have ZERO will over anything. Then in a few month/year (s) they come back and tell me I'm right.
I take out that brick block and bang my head on it. Mostly because I think "why did I try so hard to try to get through, when I know so very well that I can't."

(adding in: How do you know when you're right?)
Mostly I deal with brainstorming...and experimenting...rather than "truth".
In these cases, rather than making an assertion, I usually say "maybe..." or "what if..." or "what would happen if..."
With these, I look for feedback. Feedback in brainstorming lets me know which directions to brainstorm towards. Feedback in experimenting lets me know what works, what didn't, and eventually leads to ideas of why something worked/didn't work, and maybe even what to try next.
I quite often get technical terms wrong. Probably because I might remember the idea behind the term, but not the term itself. But I also often get confused by how people use some terms/phrases.
I have found that it's easier, and leads to less fighting, if I say something like "a book I read said...." if that is the case. This way, I am not stuck arguing for what someone else said, but still able to use that info that I read as an idea...rather than as a "truth". Unfortunately, this was a hard lesson to learn, and I might still fall back on repeating info from a book, without stating it's not my own idea, particularly if I'm focusing on what's being said now...in the moment...rather than having time/space to add descriptions and edit.
I don't tend to make judgments easily, usually spending a lot of time on the fence about something...seeing it through multiple lenses. So if I did make a judgment about something, and later get feedback about whatever it was I had judged, then I'm likely to go back onto the fence, or alter my judgment to accommodate the new info.
I would say that I look for feedback via personal experiences (mine or others') to let me know if I'm on the right/wrong track.
(note: it's quite possible that what I wrote here...is wrong.. in one or more ways.)

being wrong requires that you first take a stance on an issue. a lot of times the wrongness results from the overconfidence in insisting to have an opinion when you're better off admitting you just don't know. of course taking this too far leads to analytical paralysis, so in the end it's still a balancing act.
I'm wrong all the time. I feel I both can and can't have any opinions. As soon as I have an opinion I begin to feel it's wrong, but on the other end of this I can actually be kind of insistent. I feel a complete mess in this realm and I feel bad about it too. It's not just about what you say but about how you say it and the way that you're thinking about it. Sometimes you can feel one thing, but be thinking about it another way and they don't line up so you don't speak from one place. This makes it far more likely that you will be "wrong" even if a single statement you made is in one sense or another, correct (if it can be).
I rarely assert an opinion about something or say out loud to someone that I think this or that is right or wrong. Because I know there's always two sides and rarely do I have all the information.
If, however, I KNOW I'm right, I will assert it, maybe. If the other person objects and I still know I'm right, I'll stand my ground and feel the need to defend it. Like this: "trust me, I wouldn't be saying this at all unless I was 100% certain so the fact that you're disbelieving me is ridiculous". lol I dunno. It's rare though. I hardly ever do that.
If I really don't care, but I still know, I won't say anything. Or if I don't want to get into a disagreement over it. I ALWAYS hold my hunches inside. And I sometimes hold my knowledge inside too, even when I know for sure. I keep it and use it when it's needed but otherwise, why bother. Plus, the more knowledge I have that other people don't have, the more power. mwahahaha
I guess I know I'm right if I get my information directly from the source, or from several sources I completely trust. I never take rumors to be true.
I'm OFTEN wrong with dates, names, places, details. But sometimes I get them right. Sometimes I get them *almost* right. But it's funny, like for example, finding a place... if I've been there once before, I can sort of feel my way there. "this looks right" and then I turn and voila! But I might not remember that he told me it was on the west side of the street, for example.
I think life experience has taught me not to assume that I'm right when it comes to people, their motivations, their feelings. I mean, I'm usually right, but things are often more complicated than they seem, overall.
Did any of that make sense?

The key to being always right is to be highly self absorbed. But then admitting you are wrong makes you always right.

I'm not often wrong about people, but I sometimes get information confused, like I'll read three sources about one subject and get facts mixed up.
It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so.-Mark Twain
You can't wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.
I tend to be right about factual evidence and I have good spatial awareness. It's like the opposite people think sometimes. lol it annoys me because people tend to think I'm a non-logical guy but really all of my problems have been social, I feel like I'm mildly autistic somewhat.
However, I realized that I actually am a bad judge of character. For example I will think somebody is boring then end up liking them. Or I will think somebody is really cool and then hate their guts. I think I got interested in socionics to give me better Fi or something. I don't really like psychoanalyzing everybody or being insightful about people's 'inner natures' like most people are. I realize that most people only like doing this because they get off on trying to troll others and seeing all the ways they can get a rise out of people but I never enjoyed doing this unless it was other gay people and pretending that I could change them. I felt guilty about this though. It was fun to see them get so seriously upset while I stood there and smirked but I also felt immature. I can't help it, I'm sensitive. =p When I kick the baby kitten in the face my instinctive reaction isn't 'fuck yeah man im so bad-ass' its 'That was kind of crappy of me.'
If I know a fact, I know a fact - I know its source, and I don't remember the last time I bobbled one. If I don't know something or am unsure, I usually don't posture.How often are you wrong and on what things are you wrong more often?
What about the things you are very often correct about?
How do you know you are right?

If it's a concept, then I try to argue it on that basis.

im wrong when i agree with maritsa
Obsequium amicos, veritas odium parit
So do other people who agree with her on wrong things like half her typings. Most notably potential competitors for cock are typed SEE and potential providers of said cock are typed delta ST.
People who neither care for a cock nor can provide one are left to bear the weight of their own typing.
When I'm right, ahem.
And I hate the part when your sausage falls deep into the mustard jar, I can't get it out.
I'm uncertain how to answer the questions in the OP without sounding vague, because I think it depends on the context. I'm often right about the stuff I am knowledgeable in, and where I'm not I will refrain from making any tentative predictions. I've been accused of being a smart ass and a know-it-all, which is upsetting since I don't see myself as conceited. I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong or just saying I do not know.
I'm always right. When I'm wrong, its because you misunderstood and it was just a theory and I was thinking out loud.
