    I also use the male/female dichotomie, and I can do that one solely with the use of VI.

    I should really move this to Alternative Socionics Theories because the fifteen dichotomies expressed here are the Reinin dichotomies.

    Just move it if you like. But Reinin dichotomies were considered a discovery by Augusta so they are standard socionics in a way...

    The result is quite interesting. There are people who don't even use the Jungian foundation ?!?!?

    Someone thinks that extroversion/introversion is NOT a useful dichotomy ?!?!?

    really? sometimes even that one can make me skeptical from time to time.

    There are two readable versions: one created by Snegledmaca, the other by RMcNew (currently called Angel von Himmer if I recall correctly). A forum search should be able to retrieve these.

    I use rational/irrational (although critical of the common interpretation of it), static/dynamic, introvert/extrovert, ethics/logics, merry/serious, reasonable/resolute, intuitive/sensing, process/result, positive/negative and (since recently) taciturn/narrator, in order of ascribed importance.

    It is intentional that I rate the dichotomies related to J functions as more influential than those related to P functions.

    The remaining dichotomies are bogus and are detrimental to one's understanding of socionics. They can be used, for example, to defend the position that conflictors are very similar to eachother. Without the firmly established verdict that some pairs of types are more similar to each other than others, the ability to tell types apart has no hopes of remaining standing. If one believes in the dichotomies at all, one has to admit that whatever property they describe has only a very weak effect on what the person is like.

    I only use two things: IEs and Functions
    Sorry to break this to you, but these things are dichotomies like any other:
    Ti = merry, logic, static
    Fi = serious, ethics, static
    Te = serious, logic, dynamic
    Fe = merry, ethics, dynamic
    Si = reasonable, sensing, dynamic
    Ni = resolute, intuitive, dynamic
    Se = resolute, sensing, static
    Ne = reasonable, intuitive, static

    You're already using the dichotomies in your head.

    I use all 512 of them, but I use asking/declaring and optimist/pessimist as a last resort as to me they are the least understood Reinin traits within the symmetric structure of the socion

    They didn't arrive as dichotomies, they were broken up into dichotomies. Merry, logic, and static, for example, didn't exist as variables before did. did and then was broken down into dichotomies for easier explanations and use. And if we want to get nit picky on it all, sure, there are technical dichotomies in the system, but they aren't used as short hand for the actual information, and don't cut out pieces from the bigger picture. To be clear, I don't use dichotomies as short-cuts to type people, which is what the question was referring to, and ultimately, what dichotomies are used for.
