    Cool Biased? Can't be objective? Embrace it!

    1. Choose one of the tests:

    http://www.socionics.com/sta/sta_turbo.html

    4 questions

    Instructions:

    * Answer according to what you wanna look like (look-a-like). Count points if it is a difficult question to answer.

    2a. You are the type opposing your result in this table (Look-a-like relations):

    ENTp - ESTp
    ISFp - INFp
    ESFj - ESTj
    INTj - INFj
    ENFj - ENTj
    ISTj - ISFj
    ESFp - ENFp
    INTp - ISTp


    http://www.socionics.com/sta/sta_turbo_xl.html

    54 questions

    Instructions:

    * Answer according to what you wanna look like (look-a-like)

    * Utilize the unsure button when you are unsure due to a difficult question to answer philosophically, if you get too many Xs then my method wont work for you on this test.

    2b. You are the type opposing your result in this table (Look-a-like relations):

    ENTp - ESTp
    ISFp - INFp
    ESFj - ESTj
    INTj - INFj
    ENFj - ENTj
    ISTj - ISFj
    ESFp - ENFp
    INTp - ISTp

    My answers:





    My result:


    Why this method works:
    "Business relations (also known as look-alike relations) are similar to identity and kindred in that partners have half their functions in common — in this case, all the even-numbered ones ("Producing functions 'come second' and are even-numbered: 2, 4, 6, and 8")."
    Sources:
    http://www.wikisocion.org/en/index.php?title=Business
    http://www.wikisocion.org/en/index.p..._and_producing

    Which means that what we want to look like is a product of an incomplete (half) perception of reality. The other half is what we actually are but can't perceive, (and in an "normal" individual what we want to look like):



    "Aushra Augusta suggested that accepting functions focus on obtaining a picture of reality, and producing functions create some sort of 'new' product that is molded to that cross-cut of reality obtained by the accepting function."
    Source:
    http://www.wikisocion.org/en/index.p..._and_producing Content 2

    This means that my method lets you produces a result that is going to when calculated with my algorithm (Look-a-like relations) give you your actual type.

    If those tests have not changed from back when I took them (it's been some years, admittedly), then they are not useful for typing in socionics. For that matter, most socionics tests are not overly useful. (Socioniko.net had one that I would have loved to try out, but it is long closed down.)

    You again.. I hope you reverse engineered both tests and proved them to be subjective, if not...

    first one I got

    If your type is INFj - "The Empath"
    In a relationship you seek to reveal your great affection and empathy for your partner. You like to observe ethical conduct and aspire to create an ideal relationship between people. You could often be overanxious about your health for seemingly no apparent reason. You are fascinated by people who can demonstrate resourcefulness and efficiency.
    -
    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'm not disagreeing, but I'm curious why people's self-image is as their look-a-like? It's a curious observation.

    Jung Psychological Types, MBTI and Socionics. 3 is the magic number. 4 is my lucky number.

    Edit: Probably diden't embrace your bias...

    There are two tests, both have the same kind of questions which assesses one's general nature; I'm a type of person who cares and values human relationships, ethics and bonds; so, in this generality of who I am, how can you assess me to be an analyst, an INTj?

    you're saying essentially that the infj is really an intj? they are so different from one another; one is a merry dichotomy and the other, me, very serious.

    I very much doubt that what you're trying to assess here has any accuracy. One test, perhaps the first one, is good enough to show someone's type, if the person is honest and objective, that means that they get their mom to help them answer the test

    The first test is dichotomous, which is far less useful than typing by socionics IEs. The second test works off of traits that do not always correspond to a given dichotomy or IM element. If the source material is bad, then it is bad. And what does subjectiveness have to do with anything?

    1. Usefulness is subjective.
    2. What you believe to correspond is subjective. If you can prove that it doesn't correspond post some sources, I can't take you for your word anymore.
    3. It is not bad til you link the sources which supposedly "don't" correspond.
    4. Do you understand the concept subjective now?

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

    Look at the traits and how can one have the self image of something they are not?

    There are people that:

    Feeler type
    Are interested in people and their feelings • Easily pass own moods onto others • Pay great attention to love and passion • Evaluate things by ethics and good or bad • Are often touchy or use emotional manipulation • Often pay compliments to please people
    There are people that:

    Thinker type:
    Are interested in systems and structures • Subject everything to a logical analysis • Are normally relatively cold and unemotional • Evaluate things by intellect and true or false • Are not very keen on talking about feelings • Do not like to clear up arguments or quarrels
    -
    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)

    1. Usefulness is subjective.
    Sometimes.

    2. What you believe to correspond is subjective. If you can prove that it doesn't correspond post some sources, I can't take you for your word anymore.
    3. It is not bad til you link the sources which supposedly "don't" correspond.
    You aren't posting sources here either, just your opinion of what works. Why demand of me what you aren't doing yourself?

    Dichotomies are not hard and fast rules. There are Rationals who seem more Irrational at first glance. (Rick DeLong has written on this, but I don't recall where exactly.) I am one of them. I resisted being typed Rational for months because I was stuck on dichotomies and temperament descriptions that told me I was Irrational rather than Rational. I didn't start considering Fi-base (EII at the time) until Rick himself put it forward during a type consultation. There are also introverted Extratims and extroverted Introtims, which Rick has written about on his blog. Getting caught up in the dichotomies at the expense of IM elements is a bad practice and can lead to mistypes. But even if you want to argue that they are useful in some circumstances, take Rick's description of the dichotomies and compare them to that test. Furthermore, certain questions on that XL questionnaire are overly simplistic; the true answers can be highly context-dependent. I can go in-depth if necessary, but I don't really feel like it at this moment. Exploring when it does or does not apply is far more constructive than simply saying "I do/don't do this" and assigning it to one side of a scale.

    By the way, your method gives me INTx, which is incredibly inaccurate when you look at the IEs involved. I am neither Ti base nor Ni base.

    The essence of our discussions are not relevant to the threads we are discussing in. The discussions we have lead nowhere of relevance to the subject.

    Please follow the instructions i mentioned this already, read them again if you need to.

    If you tested INTx that means you actually are IXXx so far. If you tested IXXx you diden't follow my instructions (abuse of unsure button).

    Now please leave room for others to reply in the thread before it becomes to much of a read. The discussion is over please don't start a new one just for the sake of discussing, you can do that in another thread or you can PM me.

    Edit: You need to try the 4 question test if you are testing INTx on the 54 question one.

    Honestly, I don't value your opinion enough or think highly enough of your understanding (or your general attitude) to take the trouble of continuing this conversation elsewhere. Nor have you answered my objections in a relevant or satisfactory manner. I'll just toss this in the "irreconcilable opinions" bin and move on.

    He simply made a theory...like socionics is a theory...that utilizing two tests he can determine the self image of one's type; if that doesn't agree with your assessment of yourself, why not just say why it doesn't or ask for a clarification about the possibility of how that works instead of just making a hard and fast rule about what socionics is which you interpret to be based on IE and then close the door on him theory/idea?

    I see the above as being both aggressive and Ne devaluing.

    Whether his reasoning is sound or not (which I don't consider it to be), it's rather pointless if he's applying it to a fairly shitty typing tool. I explained why it's a shitty typing tool. I also told him that his method did not work and why.

    I see the above as being both aggressive and Ne devaluing.
    I once told you I didn't think enough of your socionics understanding to take you seriously in matters like these. That still stands.

    1. Relevance:

    "In information science and information retrieval, relevance denotes how well a retrieved document or set of documents meets the information need of the user." in other words you need more information to take make a system like mine. I don't have to teach to how to make this system, it is difficult though.

    source:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relevan...ion_retrieval)

    2. Satisfactory = Contentment
    "Contentment is the acknowledgement and satisfaction of reaching capacity. The level of capacity reached may be sought after, expected, desired, or simply predetermined as the level in which provides contentment."
    it is not expected of you to feel this way for now self explanatory reasons see point 1.

    sources:

    @negern I did mention taking this elsewhere to her. I'm more than happy to ask the mods for a thread split for the divergent discussion, if that's what you'd prefer.

    Edit: We posted this at the same time. I'll grab a mod.

    I took both the tests; the method seems to be fine, for me, so if one person is good than because it's not good for you it won't be good for others? I type by traits all the time, it comes out to be fine. Again, it's YOUR way or the highway, it seems like.
