This question is very important for the future of socionics.

I have become supremely profficient in finding peoples' types and yet I don't don't see any reward in telling them this info.

Do people really want to find their type or they just want people to affirm their prejudices?

MBTI is very successful commercially even though it's founder mistyped even herself. I think the reason is their advertising and the need that people have to hear pleasant things about themselves, neglecting the truth.

So the question is this: why are people interested in type theory? Why do we read about types? What is it that we are looking for?
