In this topic list your negative feedback from studying Socionics...
It made me doubt myself, my self perception and my abilities.
And it made me realize how much I actually "act" IRL. When I thought I was finding myself (being actively social), I was in stead learning how to fake better. Now I know I'm unable to be myself is most situations. I hate lying and deceiving, and even more the thought of myself living with a fake personality. I'm not 100% sure I wanted to know.
Edited for gayness.
It has little to no practical use beyond the initial awe moments of identification with certain things in relations to other things.
How ENTps seem to get crucified but its good in a way becaue it stops me from doing it to other people.
Edited for gayness.
We need to start crucifying ENTjs again.
Lets not crucify anyone and say we did.
It's often too vague and general.
I'm worried that it might eventually become part of the mainstream. That would be a disaster.
Why does that worry you Expat?Quote:

It is obviously difficult to type people properly - as evidenced by so many people here not knowing their own type even having read so much about it. That makes it less useful and people shouldn't rely on it.
And I agree that people shouldn't be hired based on the results of personality tests. They do that at my husband's work.
What line of work is that if I may ask?Quote:

When you say they do it, what do they do precisely?Quote:

Oh and when I say my husband's job is in IT, "IT" doesn't mean "it" - it means "information technology". LOL.
Socionics approximates with Pringles to me: Once you've studied it you can't help type people even if you try and put a cap on doing so. :8*
Right, but do they really test for personality, or you think they do? And if they do it, how do they do it and how do they use the results?Quote:

Like, "We have a candidate but we have to see how he gallups first."
I notice that, sometimes. When I'm sitting around and people walk by, I wonder what type they are, then actively try to type them. What hurts me, is that I do nothing with the information..Quote:

Love that "galluping", can I borrow it?Quote:

Also, I don't do the things that would make her feel better, or I don't try to make her happier, or I don't try to get to know her, and I don't stop trying to stay the fuck away from her. There's alot I don't do. I can never be bothered to state them all, on the first go-round. It makes me look, umm.. haha.Quote:

Well... you aren't technically supposed to do anything with Socionics. The idea was just to explain people as they are naturally - not as they could be, not as they should be. Trust me. Trying to apply this stuff to your interaction does nothing but make you extremely self-conscious about what you say/do and how you act. Attempts to "manipulate" people with the fundamentals are just superficial and will most likely only remedy the underlying incompatibility for a short time.Quote:

Socionics can maybe give you insight as to why some people get under your skin and some don't, but that's pretty much the extent of this stuff.
Socionics approximates with University to me for it either attracts academics who theorize or for those who simply want to take a course as a means to an end who live in the 'real world'.
Uh, what about both of 'em? :8*Quote:

That's why I even tried to come back and say more, because when I said "do something with it," I immidiately realized what conclusions would be jumped to. I guess I can't really explain what I mean at this point in time.Quote:
