    Default Rate my understanding of socionics

    How would you say my understanding of socionics is, since I first came here? Do you think I get the gist of it?

    I want some honest feedback of my understanding on socionics. You won't personally offend me if you politely state areas I could improve on. =)

    I probably only trust Expat, Allie, Vero, Gilly and Ashton (and to some extent Dolphin) with this, because to me those are the people who objectively understand the system quite well. Though I have since disagreed with Vero and Gilly that I'm a 4, and decided I'm a 6 again. =D

    (This is based just on my understanding of socionics remember. I'm not asking to be ridiculed for talking about homosexuality too much. Or whatever.)

    It might not look it, but I really do enjoy improving my understanding of socionics, especially cause I see so much of it play out in my real life. Even if I go 'socionics is dumb' a lot of times.

    Remember, this isn't a thread to personally criticize me (well not that I care- I probably will enjoy the insults because I'm a victim), it's only to criticize my *understanding.* Please try to keep the topic intellectual.

    I think you understand how the types act moderately well based on your descriptions I've seen in various places.

    I do not know much about your understanding of theoretical underpinnings however.
    The end is nigh

    Yeah I'm not too big on what is called 'mental masturbation' talk. Because it's just so out of place to me. It's like....so technical. I can't understand it.

    I only have a two-year college degree though, so maybe that's why. I am smart, but I don't get the talks that get too 'Math-y' I guess.

    Or maybe it's my polr. Whatever. It just doesn't mesh well with me.

    Your type descriptions were good.

    You understand Socionics better than most ppl here, for sure... It seems like you're still confusing/conflating Socionics-off-shoots (e.g. Model X) with Socionics to a degree, and that may be what's holding you back from complete understanding. (Perhaps needless to say, I'm not sure of this--I'm only guessing...)

    Your typings are relatively good/accurate.

    on a 0-10 scale: 7-7.5

    And what "socionics-off-shoots" does Sam employ? Additionally, how are these correlated with "model X"? More importantly, what do you even know about model X? Lastly, how would your (relative) knowledge of model X even be verified as correct, let alone commensurable with any notion of what consitutes socionics on a fundamental level, given that you have done your own off-shoot in the past few months?


    *oops*


    re: Sam, you seem to have a decent working understanding of the theory and types in general (if a bit stereotypical at times).

    What a bizarre grouping of people you've tossed me in.

    TBH, Sam, I'm not sure that I know enough about your socionics perceptions to really "rate" your understanding. Additionally, I don't really like rating things like that. It's generally a matter of whether I find things are logically consistent, aligned with certain elements that I feel are core to socionics, and whether or not you are capable of justifying your arguments. I definitely wouldn't be able to give you a rating out of ten or anything. I prefer to criticize individual elements of someone's opinions and ideas rather than cluster them up as entirely inept or capable.

    Maybe sometime we can have a convo about our thoughts on socionics directly?
