When descriptions of types, functions, and relationships are so vague, you can pretty much make anything fit.

There are some things that are obvious, but...for this to be a true theory, most of the things should be obvious. There should be more agreement on things, and there should be more information.

I used to think that there wasn't information about socionics in english because it hadn't been translated yet. Turns out, there really isn't much there to begin with.

Like, it is a cool thing in general, but if you want to get serious about it and look into biology, I would just throw socionics out altogether. It is pretty much an interaction shorthand.

Don't be like the dumbasses roaming around connecting all the stupid personality theorys. Keep each theory in its bounds. You can't apply one thing to something else that it isn't applicable too.
I understand what your saying and it is that socionics deal with how people look like in the surface. Basically, the reason someone reacts a certain way over a specific thing with other people is because of the ordering of his functions. However, what is a function anyways? or to everyone else is what comes out of the person's mouth or what he/she is thinking. is what the person is feeling and is what the person is saying, recognizing, seeing. Though, in order to understand socionics fully, you have to look at it and say why? Why does this person get this feeling when their doing something bad? Why does someone notice things that others don't because of their or . Those are just symbols that represent what is going in our brain. If it is going on inside our brains, isn't it fair to say that it is linked to biology?
