Typology Causing Relativism

This is a categorical error. Cognition is much more complex and variable than being right or left handed.

Handedness is a cognitive trait. This shows that it's possible for cognition to be "complex" overall and yet have certain simple, innate features.

A cognitive trait how? Do you check that with your lobotomy drill? Lol. The differences are small trends only and very inconsistent in nature. Please stay up to date with research on this like everybody else in the thread.

You didn't even read the article:

But the point is to demonstrate the fact that the preference for either hand has nothing to do with behavioral differences. The real explanation lies in the fact that a certain evolutionary course has decided the right-handed dominance in favor, by pure chance, for more efficiency and cooperation among humans.

So to seek explanations in "right-handed people and left-handed people are different, we must make distinctions between the two" is to miss the point (because there actually is no difference). The entire reason was purely coincidental and accidental. The real reason and the real explanation for why some people are right-handed and some left-handed, and why there were so few left-handed people, lied in the fact that the more social and more cooperative a species is, the more the general population will trend toward one side.

The difference between left hand users and right hand users is the hand they use most now get outta here

No it is not. It is a motor skill.

Huh? What other kind of trait could it be?

I know as much as anyone in this thread does about socionics, which is the subject at hand. If mainstream psychology hasn't picked up on type differences then it's their loss.

Something that isn’t the result of a single on/off switch or “trait” in the brain. If handedness is a cognitive trait, then what is the trait? What does it look like cognitively?

Try your other hand. Obviously talking about handedness.

I'm sure that "type differences" are just something that more or less exist in all of us, but they just show up at different times and at different circumstances, some are more pronounced and obvious than others. Just because you observe a certain trait in others in that moment, doesn't necessarily mean that that trait is permanent, nor does it mean that seemingly opposite and contradictory trait does not exist in that person at the same time.

So it's pretty ridiculous to think that for example, there are "Aristocratic" types and "Democratic" types, when people are usually a bit of both, or they're mostly sociological constructs that people learn and adopt and change over time.

I'm not suggesting that everybody is the same, there definitely are differences among people. But it's not as simple as saying "These people look the same or behave similarly, therefore they will be acting the same or similarly in the future".
