May be a useless question to ask as many socionicists don't put much stock in VI.
I'm one the fence myself as to its validity. I think there may be something to it but it should never be the sole criterion used to type someone.
Still, I'm curious as to how one gets good at VI to the point where they can just look at someone and suggest or rule out types with a reasonable degree of confidence?
I've looked at numerous photos of people within each sociotype and while I was able to capture some common features for each type, there was still enough variation to the point where it just confused things. There were people who were supposedly that type who didn't have that key feature.
There can be several different looks among people of the same type which is expected because no two people can ever be exactly alike.
Still my
wants a more cut and dried system for this. I've found too much conflicting stuff and when I attempt to VI, it's hardly better than random guessing so I rarely attempt it.
Which photos from which websites do you find more useful for serving as VI reference points? Less useful?
