Which type do you feel is the most useless?
This is a truly stupid and preposterous question.
I agree.
So then why did you ask it?
I don't know.
Not type related. I think most people are past the stereotyping of types. You may of had better results about a year and a half ago when people were still learning about socionics.
I wasn't really looking for serious responses. Just being ornery, I guess.
I do very well agree that this topic is silly and biased, but if I had to choose, I would probably say any type with :Te: in the super-ego (i.e. Alpha and Beta ethical types), especially INFps and ISFps.
I don't think of IEI's as useless.
.
On the surface, EII.
To be perfectly honest, I couldn't even wrap myself around this thread until someone could answer me what makes a type 'useful'. That said, I have trouble seeing how any contributions I've made have been particularly helpful. Some people I know have told me that I am, but can you ever really quantify that really? Probably, no.
Yes, I cannot understand why Logos thinks that LII is more worthless than IEI.
And what could you possibly mean by your sig that :Ti: is the root of all problems and stupidity? I regard it as a nice dose of sanity in a world gone mad.
Those two votes for EII are completely off the mark.
They have to make brownies and put up with LSEs.
If George Bush (Senior) had a good INFj wife, the world would be a MUCH, much, much better place. Think about it.
i think the 1% at the top would feel useless if they didn't have the other 99% to boss around.
Nothing is inherently useful if you do not specify the purpose.
Exactly. Most people are not overly important in the grand scheme of things but most do some form of good and are important to those who love them. Its funny i even see IEE as useless sometimes. But i do see that we do some good things.
I have a problem with these type of questions. I cant see how any good can come of them. However i can see how a lot of bad can come from them.
Most useless is ILI. I can't even describe the feelings I have for ILI's.
haha, so many people voted for their own types. :D I voted ESE and didn't even consider voting for EIE.
I didn't bother voting, but at least I gained mild amusement from those who failed to recognise the humour or sarcasm in various places. As a result, said people (and obviously therefore their types, since clearly personality = type, no more no less) are now inherently useful. Therefore, the most useless type is the type of anyone who has not yet provided me with the aforementioned mild amusement and will not do in the future.
haha... I wonder if that was a mistake.
Fuck you.Quote:

Well anyway, you see Joy, if you want to think of any type as useless you first have to try and tell us what the point or use is, which you don't. You're claiming uselessness in something when the very nature of 'use' has never been found in the first place. Not good.
There isn't any use or point to *anything.* And everything. At all. Life itself (and everything in it, including socionics) *is* pointless/nihilistic/useless, but it's up to each individual to find their own meaning. It can seem very pointy and wonderful, but it's all just an illusion. Illusions aren't bad or hopeless either- they're grand, you can embrace a dream for its own sake. If dreams always have to come a reality- don't they kind of lose their power? This doesn't mean that life is a bad thing though, life is actually very great because of this reason. That there is a point or some sort of 'path' is very bigoted and heterosexist actually. There's no use in anything. Stop looking at things in that way.
It's not about use. It's about gestures. What you think of having 'use' you just like it because of its GESTURE - not 'use.' I realize this is heavy :Fe: thinking, but so what. It's true. If you ever contemplated about life while on drugs or a substance that gets in touch with your natural creativity and spiritual side of the brain, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, on my own, I tend to think of myself as fairly useless. However, I can accomplish things if I know how to do them.
About the usefulness of IEI's - they're excellent for keeping SLE's entertained and occupied and mollified... thus taking the pressure off of me to do so. So, even if only for that, they are a necessary part of the socion to me.
What do you have against ESE's ?Quote:

If one's choice differs from one's conflictor, I'd be interested to see what conclusions we might draw from this.
FWIW, I chose IEI.
EDIT: And now I'm beginning to think that in reality, it is the SEI which is the most useless type. Obviously creative Fe does fuck all; it serves nothing. But I think there could well be some value in Ni base. Si base is truly useless.
I think if anything it's more likely that you'd find certain people with your super id functions in their super ego block useless.
I've seriously considered E6, and it's one of the least likely types for me. I'm sorry if you think only a 6 would have a problem with my super authoritarian mother's strictness. As for this thread, I knew I was being unfair and bitching about something I didn't really have a good reason to bitch about, and I knew I would probably feel like an ass later if I said something about this person while drunk, so I avoided giving specifics about the person I found useless.
I don't think anyone really caught the tone of the thread. But it doesn't matter. And neither does your opinion about my type.
I'm going to go ahead and say SLI. Sorry fellow SLI's. It's the truth though.
