    Is this coming from somewhere in particular?

    Dimensionality is Boukalov's addition, but PoLR being the weakest and base being strongest can be traced to the origin of socionics, I think. And since mental ring goes 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 1, from strongest to weakest, it makes sense that vital ring would go from weakest to stronger, being 5 → 6 → 7 → 8 → 5 (rings are integral part of Model A from the beginning). The diagram I posted earlier is just visualized dimensionality.

    Yes, this makes sense to me. Thanks for the illustration.

    but since they didn't notice it, they just attached the behaviour for the first function on the wrong name.
    I am actually currently inclined to agree with you. Though I suppose my issue is whether the interpretation itself actually makes for a worse theory (rather than whether it's consistent with Jung). But even then, I'm still inclined to MBTI and its variations will end up less effective.

    I suppose the question is whether there are individuals who have started studying socionics and actually switched over to MBTI, and why. It was the opposite for me; I didn't even look at socionics until about a year after I had started with MBTI.

    same for me, first MBTI than socionics.

    Socionics is like a version 2.0 of MBTI.

    I honestly doubt it, unless they couldn't grasp Socionics which was why the left it for MBTI.
