Does anyone know anything about identical twins and socionics type? Have you ever typed a set of identical twins?

you could do a search, this has been discussed a few times on the forums.

My mother is an identical twin. She is ISFj, and I think my aunt is an ISFj too, although I can't be 100% sure.

This is me and my dual being scientific together
I'm a twin (not identical) and I think my brother is a pretty clear INTj. I also knew two sets of identical twins. The first I didn't get very close to both of them. The one I had some contact with some sort of ExTx, but they superficially seemed to be pretty similar, but that really doesn't mean anything. My sister is currently dating one half of an identical pair. I haven't gotten to know him very well yet, but my first inclincation is that he's ISTx. Again, I don't know the other brother very well so maybe later on down the road I can comment on that.

yes, I met a pair of fraternal twins, not the same type at all. The girl was beta NF while the guy was gamma or something.

My roomie is an identical twin and he and his twin are definitely not the same type, lol. I would even go as far as to say that they're from conflicting quadras, despite getting along superbly.

Everyone realizes that type is genetic, but it is undoubtably for some difficult to admit.
It's all sperm and egg variation.

Because in that case we would be capable of engineering type with behavioral conditioning and drug therapy. Have you ever heard of a drug that caused dissociative identity disorder, because DID is exactly what a change in type would entail. (but even that would not be a true type change with regard to the capability of the functions: you can use your PoLR as base, but I don't recommend it).
Just remember that every time you embrace a "could" like that, you give some crazy scientist of the future one more avenue for contesting the pursuit of a real solution, and even worse, you might be opening the door for some really horrific research. Imagine someone being determined to create a typeless "supersoldier", and being so convinced of it being possible that they never stopped trying to do it. That is a scary possibility, because it's the type of thing oppressive governments might buy into. It might look like what the protagonists of 1984 were put through, or worse.
Tests suck dick. Identical twins are identical (duh) (except for finger prints)
I've observed this: Identical (monozygotic) twins are always: a) Identicals, b) conflictors. I don't have a too large sample from which I've drawn this conclusion, but it makes sense because VI-wise conflictors are very similar (in external traits/appeareance , not actual VI of facial expressions). This suggests that conflictors share similar genetic configuration, and that at an undetermined point, a "switch" is activated that sets the final type. What this "switch" could be, I do not know.
I knew a pair who both seemed SEE except one was more girly and the other was more sporty. Sadly, one of them died.I knew a non-identical pair and one of them seemed ILE and the other EIE. That’s all I’ve seen so far.
My childhood neighbors were both EIE-Ni, but I'm not sure if they were identical and the one still living doesn't know either. My parents couldn't tell them apart very well, but I always thought of them as different people. Another pair of twins (not sure if they're identical) I know of are also EIE-Ni (or at least one is, god I HATE their EIE-Ni son's narcissistic rage and pretentiousness and quips and frequently shitty selections of things, some of the foods, his refrigerator, having a gas grill and his home and the way parts of it smell are pretty terrible although the photos he takes are quite good). A third pair of twins (they are identical but I've always been able to tell them apart) I know were IEI-Ni. I've been friends with the sexy one while the other one wasn't sexy so I didn't pursue friendship with her.
Which gender were they, by type?

I have lots of identical and non-identical twins in my family. I find them interesting and I think twins generally are not identical. I have theory but I am not going to share at the moment. By the way, genes of identical twins are also not %100 identical due to epigenetics.
For example, I don't think that twins in this video are not identical. (CC video is shared by sbdds to illustrate some fragment of her personalized hell)
Bailey has better Fe than Brooklyn. She is either ESE or IEE or EIE, can't say the same with same level of confidence for Brooklyn.
