Okey let's go through this point by point.
Quote:
People actually think they can explain everything into types as a way to explain their failed relationships and justify blowing someone off before giving them a fair chance
That's true, but I don't see how that kind of misapplication has any bearing on the actual content of socionics itself. You can twist just about anything into easy self serving answers.
Quote:
Everything is a perspective, so the more you think about socionics, the more it consumes your mind. But it's always wrong and you spend more time trying to make it fit reality rather than let reality fit you. There are no real benefits.
Again, what has that got to do with socioncs? Confirmation bias among it's practitioners has more to do with the fallacious nature of human beings rather than the merits of the theory in its self.
Quote:
Other aspects of psychology don't matter at all in socionics land. Personality disorders, psychiatric illnesses, and simple things like giving someone the benefit of the doubt or finding ways to appreciate kinds of people that conflict with your supposed type are a no-no because there's a relationship chart and it can't be wrong or that would make this all pointless
I don't know what you are talking about, no one with a brain is claiming that socionics is the key to understanding human psychology. It's just a conceptual framework dealing with information metabolism and how it can play in human interactions.
Quote:
In socionics simple things like trust, humor, patience, benevolence, and good-will towards others have nothing to do with your relationships with other people, but only type has anything to do with your relationships with other people (unless one actually believes this to be some kind of major distinction, which makes me want to fart)
No, socionics is about the supposed interaction of information values between people. It has nothing to do with what you are talking about.
Quote:
There is no such thing as simple bad luck or simple misunderstandings. If something can't be explained by socionics Jungian functions, it's because you're too stupid to understand it.
Just beacuse you can take socionics into absurdity, does not mean socionics itself is bunk.
Quote:
Everyone has strong opinions about how to understand and apply socionics and can't really agree on anything. :redflag
True, that is why you should take what you read with a grain of salt.
Quote:
The functional elements are way too general to accurately diagnose causal relationships between types, let alone diagnose the types themselves that would cause such phenomenon
I more or less agree with this, I'm am not at all claiming socioncs to be perfect or even remotely scientific.
Quote:
For this to be useful, your type shouldn't change, except because everything is so general, it can and does, because you're not a robot and you have free will.
Type, if it exists does not change. The type people think they are can.
