Well I wouldn't want to study a personality system like socionics or MBTI with little factual basis to base people's personalities on just as I wouldn't want to study a spiritual system like Islam or Christianity to base everyone's spirituality on, you know what I mean? I couldn't justify my belief in your personality type through socionics or MBTI and the idea that it has held true in my personal experience just as I couldn't justify my belief in your spirituality based on Christianity/Islam just because in my experience Christian/Islamic spiritual principles have held true. I need some
knowledge, i.e. truth or evidence before I put stock in these systems or I feel I might be wasting my time and hurting my mind.
For those of us who desire a sense of internal consistency with our beliefs, this topic isn't a waste of time, but a rescuer of time. For everyone else, it's something of a word game; if you support, you win by providing a knowledge basis or a good enough reason for belief, if you are against you win by providing counter examples or reason not to believe. I've always found these types of word games fun
. Top chef is good too, guess it depends on your inclination towards word games.
Er, do you have any proof that socionics is 'actually going on' any more than MBTI is? What
proves socionics to you?
