I'm not using introversion in terms of concept, I'm using a system
There is only one possible way to define introversion, and it is the one I outlined.
No, there is not way to define introversion.
I think in socionics...
Introversion/Extroversion is merely whether the leading function is introverted or extroverted.
It is not a matter of use in introverted function or extroverted functions, but whether it is conscious or unconscious.
Like ILE.. It means Intuitive Logical Extrovert, which is basically Ne 1st function Ti 2nd function. All the extrovert means is that extroverted Intuition is leading. Like LII, Logical Intuitive Introvert, is just a introvert because it's Ti 1st function, Ne 2nd function. This might have been what you were meaning to say.. but it was awkward.
There is no dichotomy of Introversion/Extroversion except when comparing functions. To call a person a "extrovert" in socionics is only saying the leading function is extroverted.
You are trying to divide introversion and extroversion based on cognition and expression, this is not a observation. This is your hypothesis and you're building a entire chain of logic on this hypothesis.
Introversion and extroversion are observations, they are not something you build a foundation of analysis on. Introversion is not cognition and extroversion is not expression.
Looking at Dichotomy like you are, and believing that it is measurable is sure to fail, because even the 4 primary dichotomy are just results not functions. Like Reinin Dichotomy, these results are the product of function, not the basis.
