Dual/quadra/compatibility
What if you do not have a dual as a partner or a collegue at work?
What if people do not marry and stay single, does it mean they can develop anything on their own? Where is actually the sense of personality development? What is it we are developing first, second, third and why do we need to develop these different functions and blocks? I have got my vision about it and what is yours or what is an official socionic vision about it?
Does socionic sugget anything clearly - is there any wholistic theory why we are the way we are and where are we heading....or all comes to get safely supported through your life : to find the dual, your quadra and and this all what you need. I feel really sorry for the whole "dual/quadra explanation" approach. It is a fairy tale story for kids, not adults.... or may be I am simply missing the point?

Well, there is NO official point of view, because socionic is a quite new branch of psycology. As for now there are many schools of thought with different points of view.
And getting dual is not a panacea, and people of the same Quadra may be not the best company if they have other tastes. To find a compatible type is only a start, you should have much more in common to have good relations. But to have good relations with incompatible type is quite unreal (on a short distance, of course, as friendship or love).
Andyou can improve your function not only with help of your dual but with help of anybody who has this function in EGO, but I don't think it will be that efficiently as with your dual for some reasons.
