    Default what are your intentions in your knowledge and understanding of socionics?

    ?


    one thing that i've noticed with those among me who do know and (somewhat) understand socionics is that S people tend to want to use it IRL whereas N people seem to be somewhat content in it not being brought to the masses and see the consequences it can bring. I think those observations come as no surprise.

    I'm more in the practical applications group. I don't particularly care about the "masses" though. Just personally I feel like I get so much from this nice little theory. The only down side is socionics kills my other hobbies and pisses people off when I try to talk to them about it when they couldn't care less.

    I don't quite know my intentions at the moment. I became curious about the theory of it. I don't think I want to actually do anything with it. I don't know...

    You have an imagination. Use it.

    Which is a round-a-bout way of saying "to pick up chicks." The only other acceptable answer is if you are female, bi, or gay and say "to pick up dudes."

    In which case, use of "to pick up dudes" is still acceptable in the valley, but some have opted to use "to pick up hotties" as a gender neutral term.

    what do you mean by use it IRL?
    whenever the dog and i see each other we both stop where we are. we regard each other with a mixture of sadness and suspicion and then we feign indifference.

    for instance, im interested in industrial/organizational psychology and using socionics to apply it to businesses and the creation of teams. it's similar to HR.

    I do use it in IRL, personally, but I have no desire to see it "brought to the masses".

    My intentions had never anything to do with "finding my identity", as some are saying. They have everything to do with understanding other people (and thereby my own effectiveness in dealing with them).

    Recently, I remain interested in it in a similar way as to when you're learning a language. The more you learn it, the more you discover interesting things to "read" that you hadn't before.

    Lately I've been observing - not specific intertype relations - but general interactions between people that might serve as an example of one kind of intertype relation... and then I'll want to voice that revelation to a friend. Only, of course, they have absolutely no clue what I'm talking about.

    Or, for example, one of my profs this term is a super clear-cut ENTj (cross-trainers with a suit??) who's a blast to witness. Lectures contain spontaneous structure, animation, tons of facts - chemistry has never been this enjoyable, ever. Loves to hit home a concept by providing real-world context, and goes insane on the chalkboard while doing so. The problem is, when people ask me why I like this guy, I can't exactly say, "well, he's an ENTj" as if that would provide the answer.

    My only purpose is to try to minimize misunderstandings between me and people I have relationships with. To try to understand people I interact with better.

    Maybe this is a good example of the misunderstandings she was talking about? The gist I got from her message was that these are precisely some of the situations she'd use it for. FWIW, Slacker Mom's answer is one of the main reasons I delve into this stuff. Though I'd also say that nijo's and MysticSonic's apply to me as well.

    What the hell are you talking about? Did I say I only want to understand people I have GOOD relationships with? Read it again.
