Hello
I'm not good with intros, unfortunately. So this will be rather short. I'm Hyena. I'm a 22 year old girl from the USA. I've got some knowledge of the MBTI and enneagram. Out of the two, I'm only certain I'm a counterphobic 6. Anxiety gets turned into aggression and so on. I have decided to move beyond those into socionics territory pretty recently. I hear it is more accurate so hopefully this is easier than figuring out MBTI.

Welcome.
Socionics is easier to figure out than MBTI. For one thing, Socionics has a theory about inter-type relationships and is fairly self-consistent.
MBTI classifies personality types and says that this person is an apple, this one an orange, and this one a bunch of grapes. But it only has anecdotal things to say about the ways in which people get along with each other. It said that my best romantic match would be an MBTI ISTP, probably from the fact that many people have watched an LIE and an LSI go off together and be pretty happy with each other past the point of the survey.
I've tried two of them (MBTI ISTP or Socionics LSI), and what went wrong (and right) in both cases was exactly what Socionics predicted and what MBTI said nothing about. So.......as personality theories go, I'm in favor of Socionics.
