    I have two descriptions, ENFP and ESFJ. Guess which one is which. Remember these are descriptions from an MBTI book, but from my point of view they can be easely typed with the use of socionics IM. Showing that MBTI and socionics don't differ that much!

    Let's hear it...
    citting small parts of two descriptions and saying that they comefrom two specifc types and asking people to guess them does not prove that socionics and mbti do not differ much. it only proves youre an idiot for thinking so.

    This is the absolute truth. The fact that an MBTI expert (like myself) can still identify obvious differences makes him look even worse.
    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.

    Personal attacks and self-proclaimed expertise works a lot better apparently.

    First of all it proves that they are different types as opposed to the claims in another thread. Secondly it contains IM elements, which is rather impressive considering it was written by an MBTI person without knowledge of socionics. Thirdly, it shows that these MBTI type descriptions don't really deviate a lot from socionics ones.

    Ps even when you're an expert in mbti, but you should also become an expert in socionics. Only then can you see that the mbti functions are flawed and the reason for all the misunderstanding. You can verify that socionics functions are the correct ones by experiencing relationships. I cannot consider you an expert when you still haven't figured that one out '-)

    I never claimed ESFj to be the same type as ENFP, I claimed it to be a type based on a different system, so they could match. It's impossible to be an ESFJ ENFP or an ESFj ENFp, but it is perfectly possible to be an ESFj ENFP.

    Secondly it contains IM elements, which is rather impressive considering it was written by an MBTI person without knowledge of socionics.
    I quoted from Wikisocion.

    Thirdly, it shows that these MBTI type descriptions don't really deviate a lot from socionics ones.
    So? Descriptions are at very best secondary, in both systems.

    I'm gonna quote myself because I can't be fucked to repeat my argument. mmkay?

    That is precisely the beauty of Socionics. you are debasing it by stating MBTI is a similar system -- and the facti t's shallower doesn't make it any less real, or wronger. it's simply a different analytical tool, one that's easier to wield.

    Why should something be tangible, if it can be experienced. That's the whole idea behind a relationship.

    from a person who calls himself Ilikesex, I will take this opinion very seriously :-)

    You are only giving a statement, without arguments, therefor quite useless. But since you want it this way. I think you are idiot times two. See? Now I win.
