First Post - New to Socionics - Not new to MBTI - I've converted to the Dark Side...
Ha. No well, honestly - I wrote an article about all this juicy goodness (won't post it... just yet... so ya'll know I'm being GENUINE) and I've always been interested in Socionics. The 16 types.
I'm an ENFP/IEE - past year or so just really dived right in. At least, with the other side... that side... you know....
and it seemed all the women I'd be dating - once I got them to take the test (I'm horrible at typing...) I'd - you know - I'd find my self altering my behavior to appease their INTJness or INTPness - etc.
Sure enough - it worked. It scared the crap out of me and I researched everything about ENFP.
Then, well - I discovered the "romance styles" - Infantile, Aggressor - etc. I wrote an article on that - my first on the series - and it swormed all over FB. People loved it!
Then, since I discovered Socionics - I instantly got bitter. I told my friends on the "other" forums and they said "Oh, it's nothing but heart break over there..."
So, I noticed. It seems every 'relations type' is "Moth to Flame" "Most unsatisfactory" "the highest demotivating pairing" You basically had a 1/16 chance of finding a friend or lover, and a 1/8 chance of finding someone who could TOLERATE.
In a heavy Russian voice: "You live to die; die to live - " with the cigarette and Vodka on the table - just all bleak.
But then it got even freakier - as I'd go on a date, a few with a girl - and we'd have a conflict. I'd pull up Socionics; research, and... My god. It was amazing.
It was the DARK SIDE. :) (Nah, knowledge is power... right?)
So... I ran with it.... and here I am.
But, I'm secretly using it in my life and discovering that my best-friend is an INTJ - wow! Go figure. INTP relationship head-butted heavily after disagreement involving morals - etc... ESFJ I found "tah dah" Stupid.
That's all slight sarcasm, but you get what I'm saying.
So yeah, just saying Hi. Doing some research and using the search.
