Hi, I'm Alex, 31, male, new to this forum.
I've been studying socionics and related theories on my own for some time, tried to share it with my friends (with mild to moderate success) but I find myself in a position where I really need external help and opinions (my friends are rather sceptical about this all, and even with my limited knowledge I'm the one who knows (and care) the most in the group).
I'm posting this directly in the Beta forum because I've already a strong inclination towards a particular type...and also because after reading both this and the Delta one, I found the folks in there funnier..
To make things simple: I'm at a point were I can't determine my j/p preference at all, be it by self testing (either I'm too biased because I know what the test answers will produce, or for more advanced tests, I score 50/50 everytime on the j/p scale) or be it by logical reasoning (I read all descriptions I could find, tried to extrapolate by comparing to my friends types, tried to extrapolate by looking at my supposed dual, tried to determine by quadra values....)... to no avail!
Would you guys try to help me?

, 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,
(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).
