    Default Visual identification of identical twins

    so how does VI work with identical twins?

    Different demeanors and facial expressions.

    information metabolism is a form of behavior; I have also found it quite rare (but not unheard of) that identical twins share personality

    I'm an identical twin and my sister and I definitely have some obvious IM differences

    I haven't met true identical twins who have different types, but they can have sort of different personalities, unfortunately I have no proof to back up it's the same with all, so, dunno.

    it seems that identical twins are clones and have exact the same genes, this in contrary to non identical twins who share half. (or something like that, I've read it quickly)

    So it probably very likely that identical twins have the same type. But I guess you would have to take some tests to know it for sure.

    This is assuming skeletal formation correlates with type. Something that isn't quite panning out per my observations of your typology method.

    What boggles my mind is how foolproof you feel your VI technique is. Show me the evidence that type is related to skeletal structure. Heck, show me the evidence that sociotype depends 100% on DNA.

    There is none.

    My personal feeling is that sociotype may be hereditary and/or inborn, but I highly doubt it's determined solely by the nucleotide sequence of DNA.

    My sister and I are identical twins. We have confirmed identical DNA. We dont look 100% alike, we dont have the same skeletal structure.

    You typed me SEE by your VI technique.
    You typed her SEI by your VI technique.

    I relate best to IEE.
    She relates best to EII.

    You wanted an observation. You got one. Sorry to say, you and your teachers need to rework this VI technique. It's imperfect. (assuming VI can even be relied upon in general as a sole way of determine type--i'm highly skeptical).

    Everything Workaholics said is completely true.

    That still doesn't explain skeletal structure vs type.

    p.s. I know what identical twins means.

    You STILL are missing the structural link here. Which is what brings us down to your pure VI techniques.

    People can be genetically the same but have different bone structure. Embryology and development is a complex process that goes beyond simple nucleotide sequence.



    As far as twins scoring similarly on such tests--sure it's to be expected to an extent. It's not 100% though.

    My sister and I are in the same quadra. . .

    Identical twins seperated at birth when meet up at later life have similar ways of dressing, ways of saying things, attitudes, personality even their handwriting is almost the same.

    So I don't see why their socionic type can't be the same, given they are similar in so many other ways.

    Just a small sample of many things:

    "It's not just our taste in music or books; it goes beyond that. In her, I see the same basic personality. And yet, eventually we had to realise that we're different people with different life histories."
