    I was just unhappy with my job in general, and at some point someone mentioned MBTTI, which I started researching and then stumbled in here...

    NO. Sensible deltas use OSes that work right out of the box, such as Windows XP. We've got better things to do than fix OSes build by technocratic nerds.

    A friend sent me a link to an MBTI test. I tested ENFP, and then I tested my husband, and he tested IST but was almost tied for P and J, though reading the descriptions he sounded more like ISTP than ISTJ. So I was reading about ENFPs and ISTPs, and this one site said that we shouldn't get along very well and that I'd be better matched with an INFP. Which I thought was odd since we get along so well. So I thought, if this MBTI thing can tell anything about our personalities, it should explain why we have such an easy marriage and why we never fight, right? So I did some googling and stumbled upon Socionics, which seemed to accurately descirbe both of us and our relationship, and here I've stayed.

    I came here through mbti typings. I kept getting INFj a lot, but that seemed too pat, I think all nerdy introverts who spend a lot of time online get that, but I studied it in more depth and went through many phases of types. I didn't know what to think, and still don't. I think it's a nice hobby to reflect on relationships when you are bored and have nothing else to do, but I still can't help but think sometimes that it causes more psychological ills than it does to cure them. It's just a system that explains something that already exists, I wish it was a solution... for something, but it can't be that innately. And it just makes me sad because I wish it could be something that it cannot be. I want it to be like Jesus, but it is nothing- just more human perceptions that don't really have any true value and is going to start arguements and wars rather than peace & love & harmony that it indirectly and ever-so-insidiously claims to promote. What is the point of 'socionics' if not to make the world better? I want solutions. I want people to be healed. I want to peel back the web of complexities and look deep in the eyes of what is 'real' no matter how painful it is. I don't want something that just intelligently explains what is already there.

    It doesn't seem to move in an actual direction, and so at its core it cannot be trusted, and has no soul. People get tickled that it can seem both 'deep & interesting' and also 'true' but it needs to shake people up more. I wish it was more entertaining. I wish it didn't abstractly describe traits in such a dorky, teacher 'duh' ish manner that makes me think at its heart, socionics never got laid.
