It's not so much contradiction but a bias on my part towards Te information, that is, I view what is excepted as the meaning for the IE's in classical Socionics to be *the* meaning, so I have a preference towards information that favors that side rather than the more speculative Ti concepts in the Socionics community
Compare to, say, Betas who feel comfortable formulating and breaking apart the information and than using what they've figured out to be fact, or less so, Alpha who tend to develop new theories but are less likely to impose them
I find that the source of contention between Ti/Fe and Te/Fi valuers tends to stem from both sides viewing their preference for filtering information as more truthful and logical. I really do think
the post by Expat on the Ti/Fe vs Te/Fi approach to information is spot on in explaining why that is
I'm not trying to state that Te/Fi's and Ti/Fe's can't agree with one another; communication can be very smooth and clear between the two if they both are able to agree with the others conclusions *through* their preference for filtering information.
For instance, I don't have difficulties discussing Socionics with a lot of the Ti/Fe's here whose own understanding complies with, what I regard as, the general accepted understanding of Model A
btw I think that the descriptions on the IE's at
Socionics.org are one of the more reliable sources for learning about them (since I've been asked to provide sources...).
Socionic-light is another good one IMO
From the English community I think Socionics.us and Socionics.ws ones are reliable
btw I'd just like to say that none of us would be here if it wasn't for a Ti, so I do admire it's benefits
