    6, based on the criteria in the link. I consider myself more of a 7 though.
    What do these signs mean—, , etc.? Why cannot socionists use symbols Ne, Ni etc. as in MBTI? Just because they have somewhat different meaning. Socionics and MBTI, each in its own way, have slightly modified the original Jung's description of his 8 psychological types. For this reason, (Ne) is not exactly the same as Ne in MBTI.

    Just one example: in MBTI, Se (extraverted sensing) is associated with life pleasures, excitement etc. By contrast, the socionic function (extraverted sensing) is first and foremost associated with control and expansion of personal space (which sometimes can manifest in excessive aagression, but often also manifests in a capability of managing lots of people and things).

    For this reason, we consider comparison between MBTI types and socionic types by functions to be rather useless than useful.

    I am a 5 and I consider myself on the better side of average, which means that I find it hard to believe that you folks are all higher than me. Who knows, maybe that really is the case.

    They're probably self-deluded. I'm actually extremely attractive (I have third-party confirmation, it's not just me blowing hot air) -- and I'm still just a 6 by the way it's described in the link.

    Sure, if you have really good social skills and know how to make money as you pass 30 years of age.



    Also, I want to note: In my humble opinion, I don't think money matters as much as the article says it does for guys in their 20's. I think for the 20 to 30 range it has a lot more to do with looks and social skills.

    If you're in your 20s, girls don't care if you have money so much as if you're on the path to having money by the time you're 30 and are at least making decent money before that.

    And all this aside, you don't need to be fucking rich for a girl to like you. By the time they're in their late 20s and early 30s, most girls have more reasonable standards and simply want someone who makes enough money to have a decently comfortable living, which is pretty easy to accomplish.

    I totally agree, I wrote this also in my own words, but all I got back from it was BnD telling me the gay man equivalent of "you go girl, if you've got it, flaunt it"....

    I'm probably a solid 5 on this list. I'd be a 6 but for my quiet, introverted nature.

    But like all lists of this nature, it only measures superficial attraction. These are the ways that men get women's attention, in order to move from Long Psychological Distance to Close Psychological Distance. Once Close Psychological Distance is attained, however, it's the intertype relations that will determine the success or failure of the relationship, regardless of the other factors.

    And of course, measuring your self-worth by your place on this sort of list would be absurd. The most important things in life have nothing to do with whether you can attract members of the opposite sex.
