Derail/Function placement vs strength
People can say anything about things like "dimensionality" and "Model A", but they've never even been tested and those concepts and its definitions are highly vague and broad and abstract and things like "dimensionality" may just as well be meaningless.
There are some other theories that can explain our cognition, such as the Dual process theory, the "System 1 and System 2" kind of thinking, and it seems to be backed up by many evidence, at least. It's not perfect of course, like with any theories it is still in the process of refinement, but it's gaining traction and is applied in multiple disciplines.
So people on here can armchair philosophize and psychologize all they want, but it will likely not create anything substantial.

I spend more time reading sources outside socionics to learn about cognitive abilities which allows me to correlate things I actually observe and have firsthand experience with. Most recently it has been dna for me which is not there yet. Hopefully soon.
So yeah I believe he is taking bits a pieces from different theories and trying to correlate to socionics but of course there are going to be some contradictions and some things that just can't be correlated. I also do my own correlations between socionics and other systems. Not actively trying to correlate as much as it just kind of makes sense one day and then I can write about it. He is consciously and actively correlating. I think that is why people shouldn't even bother with things like his cognitive styles until they have a solid understanding of the basics.
Yeah, I think he's just basically plagiarizing and saying, "This fits in with Socionics, that fits in with Socionics".
