    Yeah, perfect.

    Te gives you the external form, because they are extraverts, evolution.
    Ti gives you the points, the descriptions that make up that thing.

    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

    Depending on the computer, I have had varied results with pressing the "surprise me" button to preview more pages on amazon, but I bought the book and it's pretty good. However there's nothing about MBTI in it despite the title (He regards them as the same, but uses Socionics functions in the book), and has a 16X16 subtype system with 256 (too) short descriptions that I haven't yet been able to correlate to DCNH because of his confusing system. The descriptions of functions are good but some of his other ideas are strange/interesting. His typings of famous people seemed a bit off however.

    That's interesting. I tend to see external as implying internal and I still see it working for Ti/Fe and Si/Ne to an extent, but the abstract/involved might be the missing piece here, one that removes the asymmetry...

    / Source is always true, interpretation is arbitrary.
    / Source is arbitrary, deduction is always true.

    objectivity----meaningless----factual----<interpretive>----poetic----meaning----subjectivity
    subjectivity----arbitrary----correspondence----<deductive>----analytical----reason---objectivity
    I would rather say, "source is always taken as it is" - true as in, "source X saying Y" means exactly this, that source X says Y, while whether it confirms Y or not is a matter of interpretation already. But yeah, that's how I tend to see it in general... except I'd say Ti can imply Fe as in, actions are interpreted in light of explicit principles, examples of which had recently been mentioned by Ti/Fe valuers here. Though abstraction is potentially a better way of looking at it.

    I don't think deductive/inductive works for elements, but rather for their combinations in IM types. LIEs have result (synthetic, inductive) thinking style while ILEs process (analytical, deductive)... so it makes sense that both of you would voice this objection, while for Crispy (LII, result) his base function described as "inductive" might still ring true.

    I've only looked at Ni and Ne descriptions so far and they seem alright.

    Oh yes I do believe the closest thing to Inductive/Deductive dichotomy is Process/Result. I just included those cause they looked like a conclusion to the dinosaur example. The author of the book is LII as well so that would explain why he identified with the dichotomy.

    The first one is Dynamic. The second one is Static. That's as far as I'll go at this point.

    There are some references where some functions match the ones in Socionics while the others differ/opposite (eg. L. Thomson, L. Berens). Some of them introduce new and often useful things, so worth reading, but with great attention.

    Need a bit of thought, but I'm stunned: this is the first time that I don't bind Socionics Si associated with comfort and pleasure, but experience and effects. However, the guy borrowed "subjective/objective" from Jung. If you noticed, for Fields information he talks about "our reality" instead of dealing with the rules, as the Fields aspect are about.

    Well that's because you took those thinking styles for granted. I'd not accept your argument for the reason that they're based on something even more ambiguous and (IMO) arbitrary.
    Then, I don't know whether you used real forum users or something else to confirm this for yourself, but in the first case, if Crispy is LIE that would mean that your observations (if they exist) determined this inclination in a Te type again.

    I think that Ti and Te may be necessary and sufficient for deduction and respectively induction. Indeed IRL both Bodies and Fields information is required for both the usage of Logic and to apply those kinds of reasoning, but that's not the point of it. For example the premise of "all people are mortals" requires different processes to appear, but that's out of the scope of the deduction itself.
    If anything, a type may be considered deductive and inductive, from a certain perspective, based on Extroversion (eg EXXx inductive, Bodies observes and Fields assimilates), but in any case I disagree with the idea that it has anything to do with Process/Result.

    Oh yeah. This reminded me of some vs. contrast stevENTj posted once:
    Both look like Te to me. I read the second passage more easily (by a long shot) and am more inclined to write that way.

    is procedural and deductive.
    is categorical, formal and inductive.
    I agree. The reason is that you can't arrive at a categorical statement without making an induction of some kind. The case-by-case view on the other hand is stand-alone justified. The induction/deduction difference is rather useless, though. The two depend so much on each other that it's hard to even imagine the use of one without a counterpart use of the other. A person that uses one or the other in isolation would be unable to think for him/herself.

    I hate this thread.

    If Te is the above descriptions, Ti would be like a very elegant formula expression the relationship between one thing and another, and the things affecting that relationship. The Ti information is all heavily packed down, but is rather like a von Neumann machine in that you can unpack it all into an expanded construct.

    Like,

    y2 = 4ax

    That's the equation for a parabola. It's basically the raw materials for constructing relationships that yield more useful information. A mathematician carries around those rules in his head (because high schools and freshman courses love teaching you useless legwork ), but you could just as easily have a rulebook that codifies them, and have a machine extract the information you want. Or a monkey. Or someone with zero mathematics background.

    I agree that the top description from StevENTj just looks like a gigantic Te dump of disembodied factual information (like dates in history).

    I think Te PoLR for me is like, I can never register information unless it's constructed as logical and causal relationships. However, the spirit of the comparison is basically valid, the examples used were just very very weak.

    Sorry about this post being an incoherent tangle.

    Steve's Ti example uses too much specialized language to make it a good comparison. You'd have to know the specialized language to understand it regardless of your type and what you value.

    So why do you agree then? It's deduction which is categorical, induction is not.

    True but irrelevant. A car without a driver can't run, that doesn't necessarily mean that a car without a driver can't exist. It's ridiculous. The same happens with abstract concepts, and in fact the sciences as well are separated because they deal with different aspects, although they depend on each other (psychology, biology, chemistry, physics). You can't just say that chemistry doesn't exist because it depends on physics.

    Thinking in the same vein as posts above, Te seems to employee a 'black box' approach: punch in some data and have it spit out an answer. Ti might be more concerned with evaluating the process within that black box to form a consistent framework that deals with categorical inputs and associated outputs.

    I don't think it has anything to do with socionics elements, ftr. Language and complexity aside, what Ashton and Steve probably attempted to do is show that Te focuses on the function and Ti on the definition - except it fails because the examples don't really fit it, not nearly to the same point as the original one with dinosaurs. Clear Ti style would be closer to formal definition or the formula, not necessarily explanatory like in this case. Similarly, Te isn't limited to dry facts never going beyond the surface, as the second example implies. While in a way both address the functionality as well as nature of TNT, I'd say it isn't really representative of Te, either.

    Also, it might be a case of "I don't like it so it isn't in my quadra" on Steve's and Ashton's part as much as it is on labcoat's or Golden's.

You can't just say that chemistry doesn't exist because it depends on physics.
    You could just as well say that I take socionics relations for granted, or clubs, or temperaments, or whatever other aspect of theory I see work in practice.

    It's something that struck me as accurate when I read it and fits rather well with my experiences of real users (and even real people). It's also something that made me realize you're ILE when I first came across it, by the way. I'm not saying it to reaffirm that I agree with the typing or whatever, merely to illustrate with a real... well, forum life example that it's a significant aspect and one often replaced by the view that functions represent a sort of "thought processes", which leads to stereotypes, such as those about ILEs you used to battle against. People expect Ne-egos, especially Ne-dominants, to be something like holographic thinkers, and I suspect it's your rather strict deductive approach of a cause-effect thinker that makes them call you a Ne-PoLR - LSIs represent this style as well, while SLEs and LIIs are holographic thinkers. Disregarding it and projecting thinking style on ego functions directly is probably the reason for at least some misunderstandings.

    Also, the thinking styles groups aren't taken out of nowhere - they already exists as supervision rings, from the beginnings of socionics. Unfortunately I don't have access to a direct source, but from here:
    Together, these relations make the socion an energetically cohesive unit. First of all, we have 8 pairs of dyads, or dual types. The purpose of these relations is to "even out" or balance the individual's life activity. "As far as we are aware, without this, the individual's full-fledged intellectual realization is impossible." Secondly, the 8 dyads split into two energy rings (or tracks) of four dyads apiece. These dyads are connected by a one-way connection; new information only flows in one direction. Information in these two rings flows in opposite directions, creating an "induction" effect between the two.
    These two energy rings are pairs of supervision rings going in the same direction. They correspond to process/result dichotomy (and I don't care if it was Reinin who named it so, he didn't "invent" it), but more importantly they are described as one-way information flow. Sharing a thinking style might be part of the reason why this flow is so effective, and more so in supervision than in benefit, while exact function arrangement explains it being one-directional.

    Correspondence to inductive/deductive is another matter, especially with the definitions you quote; synthetic and analytical are probably better terms. Also, for example mathematical induction doesn't merely suggest the truth, it's a valid proof method. Wikipedia has it down as in fact deductive reasoning - but as in this case, many people, when they think of "induction", don't mean "inductive reasoning" in a strict logical sense you quote, but rather as a metaphor for synthetic approach, or try to illustrate something by analogy with induction in physics. It might be a good idea to ask people what they mean by it before drawing conclusions.

    Yeah it's pretty dumb on it's own. There's also the question. How do I make it go is a request for Te information. If I or someone said you have to wind a watch up to make the hands move then this is a Te response.

    If I asked why I would need to wind it up this is a request for a Ti explanation. If you responded by saying, you need to wind it up to make it go, then this is not a Ti answer. If you said I have to wind it up because there's a spring inside which pushes gears that turn wheels that move the clock hands and you would need to wind up the spring to push the gears then this would be a Ti response. - then you would understand two things, that you need to wind the watch up to make it go and why you need to wind the watch up to make it go.

    Aiss, I don't see the support in what you say, neither the connection between your conclusions with this array of statements. Please take is somehow systematically because it's impossible to tell what's a fact, what's observable (with several exceptions) and what does that conclude.

    I don't ask you to take all the types and show how Process/Result applies on them, but first of all please at least point out what understanding of Process/Result you use. The "thinking styles", too.

    For example you say:
    Also, the thinking styles groups aren't taken out of nowhere - they already exists as supervision rings, from the beginnings of socionics. Unfortunately I don't have access to a direct source, but from here:
    How? Where is the reason for which they "exist from the beginning of socionics"? They only coincidentally correspond to one of the many rings of the Socion. I could also invent the "defecating style" and assign it to another ring, does that mean that it's correct and based on Socionics? No. There must be some evidence and explanation.

It might be a good idea to ask people what they mean by it before drawing conclusions.
    Either way you take it it's the same thing. Yes, there's a possibility that people don't know what these terms mean, so they use them incorrectly, so they're wrong even more. This is why I quoted Wikipedia, so that any confusion to disappear. Use the dictionary and you get the same thing:
    Quote Originally Posted by deduction

    a. a process of reasoning in which a conclusion follows necessarily from the premises presented, so that the conclusion cannot be false if the premises are true.
    Quote Originally Posted by induction

    a. any form of reasoning in which the conclusion, though supported by the premises, does not follow from them necessarily.
    b. the process of estimating the validity of observations of part of a class of facts as evidence for a proposition about the whole class.
    Your relativism is unjustified in this case, IMO. BTW, what users are you talking about?

    The only confusion that I see that can happen is the meaning of "categorical". It has two meanings that however, both apply to how Ti is used. They are related, though, categorical in terms of "categories" means the same "black-or-white" approach, true/false, or the absolute conclusion.
    ---

    So let's put it this way, take your description of Process/Result (or maybe some thinking styles, I didn't figure out what you clearly associate with what) and your understanding of deduction/induction and explain how they emerge from each other. Let's discuss, I'm interested in case you're on something real.

    They may be black and white but it doesn't mean they're white and black box as far as clarity goes. I rather associate internal elements with black box in this sense.

    I think he meant these (at least this is what I used):

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-box_testing#

    Funny thing that they're literally the symbols of these two functions!

    i think the "Ti answer" just sounds like saying what they are which seems more like "Se" if i were to get all "external statics of objects" about it and be all literal like that.

    is procedural and deductive.
    is categorical, formal and inductive.

    Thoughts?
    Yea I think this is good, however I think it suffers in one vein, that being that I don't think Ti or Te egos actually think or talk literally like this. This example is a good example for discerning the difference between the function, but not a very good example when applied to people. So in other words yes I think its good, but its purpose for usefulness in my opinion only really extends into the realm of understanding the theory, and not into anticipating the behavior of individuals with Ti and Te.

    One key element to this is that, any Ti or Te ego will have the other function (Te for Ti-ego or Ti for Te-ego) in their id block as a strong function, but not preferred. A Ti type for example is talent/strong at using their Te and Ti functions, but integrates the Te into a their Ti, because it's there ego preference. A Te type integrates the Ti into their Te, because it's there ego preference.

    This is made more physical by considering a Ti type taking data, facts and statistics (Te) and using them to build a structural/theoretical understanding of something (Ti). They are not poor at understanding data, facts and statistics.... but their urge is to integrate this knowledge into a structural system, a theory. The system they choose is usually a matter of subjective preference (hence the introverted function).

    Te's do the reverse, stripping down theories for data, facts, and statistics. They usually look at the subjective systems as being useless in and of themselves, they are only looking to extrapolate the objective facts from the system.

    The point however that I'm making isn't all of that though, its that real Ti and Te types are likely to draw upon both functions from time to time. So a Ti type isn't going to simply be bumbling around claiming everything must fit into a little theory, they may even be big data heads, memorizing tons of objective facts, looking into statistics, be talented at dealing with objective facts.... but more often than not and if given enough time the Ti ego will want to try to systematize these facts into a structural system of their understanding, because its part of their ego, they are more preferential to this form of logical information.

    Really the odd thing is that Te and Ti are the same thing, logical information, but they are two different forms of that information. The nature of the information doesn't change but the nature of the person's perspective of that information does change. The Ti type views the logical information from within a subjective framework. The Te types views the logical information from an immediate objective framework. But its the same information, the distinction in viewpoint is merely an introverted/extroverted difference, the introvert being inward facing, the extrovert being outward. The introvert takes in the information from the logical objects (into their system), the extrovert takes out the information (from their system) or observes the object as is.

    Regardless what you had in mind, your propositions match my older statements (I can find them and paste them here). I recall at least one example, it was about a software patch.

    So you're approved, move along.

    "Categorical" refers to the kind of conclusion that you end up with after you perform an induction, i.e. something applicable in general to many instances of a certain generalizing type. So it's neither inductive, nor deductive, but the thing you have after inducing and the thing you need before you can deduce.

    What has always been dead obvious to me about Ti is that IxTjs reach these categorical statements in ways that look rushed and unjustified, hence inductive. These judgments appear seemingly "out of nowhere".

    Now I don't care if someone wants to claim Te types do induction of some variety too, but to call Ti primarily deductive is just patently false. Drop the issue.

    I rather tend to see my own Ti-demonstrative as being demonstrated in using Ti-like models and structures with (relative) ease while not really caring for them, but merely for their usefulness, never considering them "real" but rather a sort of filter which can help assess information, but can also limit perspective. "Ease" is referring less to ability of understanding these or lack thereof, and more to using them confidently, where weak and devalued Ti may be more mistrustful of possible limiting or blinding effect and not even try. I'd say the biggest difference with valued Ti is that I don't try to create a perfect the model or value it in itself, with an attitude that it's impossible to reduce the world (or its aspect) to an explicit formula like this.

    It's not far from what you're saying, really, but I seriously wouldn't describe it as "stripping down theories for data, facts, and statistics", nor such systems as "useless" (see above paragraph).

    Lol alright, how would you describe it I don't really see the difference between what you wrote and essentially stripping down theories for useful information, but whatever, a more pressing issue...

    I don't like the propoganda that Ti is "possibility or perspective limiting". I think this is maybe what it feels like to a Te type but not what the function is about. Jung describes it clearly in his psychological type paper that Ti is subjective, in other words the organization of factual data into systems is a subjective issue, not an objective one. The goal of Ti isn't too build a "theory of everything" and reduce life to some perfect intellectual model. The goal of Ti is to organize information into a structural system that makes sense to that individual. Much like a language has certain rules to its structure. While that structure is useful, ultimately its subjective to a culture. Other languages exist with different structures and word order and rules, its a different framework. Ti isn't about imposing a single minded view to something. Ti is about establish an arbitrary structure, in the same way an architect construct a building, the Ti type constructs theories which store Te data analogous to the room in a building. The Te type differs in that instead they work with this raw data directly instead of pulling it from the framework. The framework itself isn't really that important, the framework is just a matter of introversion. What remains logically valid in either case is the actual factual data, whether in its raw Te form or in its subjective Ti form.

    I was never claiming that Ti restricts to deduction. I said that Ti may be necessary and sufficient - that means that deduction can't exist without Ti, that induction is a Ti type of information. That deductive reasoning is in the field of Ti, that's it. I said "may be" because I'm not yet certain about it, I didn't have the time to put it on all sides, just apparently this is it.

    I neither claim that the usage of other functions can't be categorical.

    And they'd both be wrong.

    Dinosaurs evolved from already-terrestrial reptilian species. Furthermore, while the "single meteor" hypothesis is the one most favored by modern evidence, the issue of "what killed the non-avian dinosaurs" is still up for debate, such as with the hypothesis that natural tectonic activity or a multitude of causes ultimately killed the dinosaurs. This brings me to my next point, in that, "dinosaurs" are only extinct by the colloquial definition. From a more accurate phylogenetic standpoint, birds and crocodillians are "modern-day" dinosaurs.

    Just to nit-pick, while anyone with a decent education of Latin knows that "saur" means something along the lines of "lizard," Dinosaurs actually aren't. Dinosaurs are "lizard-like" and, cladistically speaking, diverged from the common reptilian lineage long before the emergence of lizards.

    There's a huge difference between using a model and considering it useless. IMO. Also, the way you put it isn't something I'd ever agree with, and I consider it potentially misleading to others. That is, I don't see it apply to myself, but I still think I'm Te-ego and agree with the general point you're making, so while I see what you're getting at I still call it a misrepresentation, if not misconception.

    I don't like the propoganda that Ti is "possibility or perspective limiting". I think this is maybe what it feels like to a Te type but not what the function is about.

    Yeah, propaganda. Did you read what I wrote, that it's what weak and devalued Ti fears, not strong? I'm using these, but they'd rather not.

    You describe Ti like it is in Ti-ego, but Ti information is external static fields aspect, something which can be called a structure, defined system, a model. When you are describing it in ego function like this, you're necessarily including both Ti and Te aspects, which I thought you were trying to avoid, your point being that all Thinking types "use" both types of information. Ti aspect is such systems, and this highly personalized development of it you describe is in ego function. Te as aspect is concerned with explicit actions (functionality?) of objects, but as ego function, Te has also been associated, by Jung and I think in socionics as well, with external (outside of self) and External (explicit) standards. Yet explicit systems and standards are still Ti aspect; super-id Ti is apt at using and discarding them rather than creating a personalized one of far greater complexity (which you described above as far as I can tell, though I agree "reducing" wasn't a good way to describe it, as much as I tend to perceive Ti information this way). Inner picture of the world for me is Ni, it's personalized intuition that dictates the language I speak, while the Thinking isn't so.

    That is how I understand subjective vs objective difference, as emergent from personalizing or depersonalizing the aspect. It also works to show the difference between introverts and extroverts, the former's primary focus obviously being on the inside (introverted, personalized element in base function) and the latter's on the outside (extroverted, depersonalized element in base function), with the secondary focus reversed.

    (Personalized and depersonalized are probably very bad words again to use apart from describing Thinking, but that's not the point. Don't take it personally, Fe-egos.)

    Also, while your analogy might be descriptive of Ti in general, it's rather against your own point about perspective not being limited by it, seeing as by all accounts, language you use does affect - and in particular, also limits or expands - your perspective. In socionics, probably preferring any information aspect over others does it, but what I was talking about is a specific reaction I've observed in weak Ti-types (esp. some Delta NFs).
