This is not so much a thread about what attracted you to Socionics, but rather what seems to be your particular sub-field of interest within Socionics that you enjoy either learning about or developing? Hitta has the +/- thing going on for him, and TC developed the dual-type theory. Jonathan seems to be snug on misconceptions of Ne vs. Ni (and creativity). And Expat seeks to expand the understanding of the basic 8 functions and 4 Quadras. I know I am generalizing a bit here, but I am trying just to give a basic idea of what I am trying to talk about here. But to give you a more developed idea, I will share mine.
For me the aspect of Socionics which has my attention deals primarily with the behaviors that people exhibit in regards to type, quadra, and function identification. (Why do people personify functions? Does behavior change with a change in type identification? Do type labels affect the perception of the content and individual? etc.) This most likely stemmed as an extension of my interest in political science in the behaviors which people exhibit towards party and issues identification. So while I do have a great deal of interest in expanding my knowledge of the functions, types, and quadras, I also try and be attentive to not just the content of Socionics, but how people talk about it as well as why this may be the case. I think that this is perhaps a neglected aspect of the dynamics of Socionics.

in my posts in the same manner than if I had labeled myself as an LII? While those who may know the system well enough would be able to perhaps pick it out, it seems that not everyone would but there would be those who would work under the misconceptions of my ILIness (and perhaps even defend it) despite the overall quality of LIIness. But it also seems that this type-identification works not only on an inward personal identification, but also projectively onto individuals with which the subject may have complicated issues with. It is like when we read all the posts (for example) of "I hate ESIs" or "I hate ESEs" and it seems as if the person's hate is almost misplaced upon a type that becomes an objectification of their anxieties instead of the person who is the perceived as the problem and that the individual is not of the type, but that the type becomes a representative of the individual of conflict.
