The results of the poll show that the correlation is evident.
Not really..11 of the 20 people (out of the total of 28) who said that they were the same on the Thinking/Feeling axis could have said they were different on one of the other three dichotomies...also, the difference/same subtotals don't add up to 28...which means in addition there are some people who are unsure if they score the same on a particular dichotomy.
The poll asks about correspondences in 4 dichotomies.
~75% of posters reported correspondence in at least one of those 4.
As far as the results go, statistically, there is no correlation whatsoever.

There are multiple options possible.
So in this actual case it's even possible that ~75% of the posters reported correspondence to all of the 4 dichotomies.
I wonder what numbers you would like to see to call it a correlation.

Plus, what about the people who are basing their typing off previous experiences with MBTI, who actually aren't typing themselves accurately?
Look at this:
That's what I'd like to call socionics at the end of the day.Two of my friends:
INTJ : ESTp
INxP : ESTj
Yep.
If there was no correlation whatsoever, then you'd expect 100% of people to vote "difference" for each dichotomy, and 0% to vote "same".
If everybody identified in both systems with three out of four dichotomies, you'd get on average 75% of people voting "same" for each dichotomy, while having no apparent 1:1 correlation between the two systems (i.e. people having the 'same' type in both).
The average for people voting "same" is about 77%...and this does not take into account people who voted for neither "difference" or "same" for a particular dichotomy.
I don't believe you can have negative correlation in this case. You could if you were comparing two linear variables such as weight and height, but not if you were asking if there was a correlation between two systems (a 'yes' or 'no' answer)...in which case, it would go from a correlation of 0 to 100%.
Oh I see. But if 50% of people said there was a 1:1 correlation between their socionics type and their MBTI type, and 50% said there wasn't, it wouldn't mean that there was no correlation whatsoever between the two systems, would it? INTJs and INTps share at least some similarities for example.
