I think a new system has to be made, the system Carl-Jung has made is excellent, but it needs to be more advanced. That's why so many are getting befuddled about cross-types and all.
Cross-type is by its nature befuddling because it explains everything. The relations list applies to non-people as much as it does to people, you could apply it anywhere, to anything. It's the world Carl Jung lived in all his life, completely surrounded by, but he avoided trying to analyze it because if he had, it would have driven him insane.
It's like how every physics equation out there breaks down when you get to a singularity. Hell, there's even one of those in cross-type: the xxxx type, which turns all logical conclusion ever reached completely on its head!
And yet its conclusion was reached logically!
Don't try to take the consequences of cross-type too seriously. The brightest of the bright have their handicaps for a reason.
