    Question The Socionics Type Indicator

    I have taken it several times and have consistently scored "INTp - The Observer" on it (which hardly surprises me). The question is, how accurate do you think it is? There is no system of measurement whatsoever related to Model-A. Instead, it is based merely of exterior and interior traits. I am skeptical of its value and precision. What is your individual opinion? Is the type that the indicator produces for you the same as the type that you type yourself as?

    I mean, it is behavioral traits, but there are so many that it would be hard for a J to score as a P. like, it doesn't just say 'organized' or something....it has a multitude of traits measuring. but nonetheless, it could be better.

    it doesn't give me consistent results. it might be better than some tests but is still not very reliable.

    From what I remember, I generally scored ENTj or INTj depending on what mood I was in at the time. I'm not convinced of its accuracy; looking back on what little I remember, a lot of it seemed quite MBTI-test influenced (things like treating each letter as a dichotomy rather than the makeup of functions, the silly stereotype of E = friendly and outgoing, I = withdrawn and anti-social) etc.. I could be biased though, I don't put much faith in much of the info from socionics.com these days.

    Works for me. I also tend to think it might be more objective than merely answering a list of questions that are open to interpretation, or annoyingly vague.

    the socionics.com one is utter BS.

    Yes, I speak of the socionics.com test. I was thinking similar thoughts about it. It has absolutely no connection whatsoever to Model-A. Hugo's test is a bit better, though it never gives me a distinct result, but rather proclaims a tie between INTp-Ni and ENTp-Ti.

    It appears that this thread goes back to the ice age and you people are still trying to type him?

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE
