    Why thank you. I remember reading about similar points somewhere and then I forgot. Gotta study on that.

Big 5 comes closest to reality, how the brain actually works, and enneagram is about in the middle, with Socionics and MBTI pretty far behind. And some recent studies flat out contradict some of these theories. For example, strongest average scores of empathy were found in moderate extraverts, with a huge drop off in extreme introverts and extreme extroverts. Ideas like this put Big 5 in the running for least contradictory to the actual brain. Studies of introversion and extroversion correlate fairly well with the ideas of MBTI, Enneagram, and Big 5, but not Socionics, because Socionics is systematic and very black/white (it lacks spectrum).

    I used to look down on Big 5 cos it seemed so simple(thus boring) but what you're saying is intriguing. But aren't the ideas of introvert/extrovert in MBTI and introtim/extratim in Socionincs different things? Or am I mixing something entirely different? Sorry for being such a noob.

    Thought I saw a few of them(male ESIs) on this forum. Maybe I was mistaken.
    But then I've never met my identicals IRL. Female or male. No one. While I used to know one LIE girl.



    EDIT: I just realised I've definitely met some identicals and several LIEs. And so many others.
