Idea about how I can figure out my type

[Slacker]

If a person is confused about the theory, being self-typed a certain way, then that probably means they are mis-typed. If the theory makes perfect (or at least near-perfect) sense when applied to RL people and relations, then they are probably typed correctly.

I'm not sure about this either. I get where you're coming from, but I've seen several people who seem to be in complete denial about stuff and have re-written socionics around their idea of what type they think they are (and not just Maritsa) and they think everything makes perfect sense, but I really doubt they're typed correctly or that they have others typed correctly. If you mistype yourself and everyone else, it can seem to make sense when it doesn't.

But if someone has to rewrite Socionics for it to make sense, then it's not Socionics that is wrong, but the one who's rewriting it-- and if they've rewritten the theory, then does the new theory really deserve to still be called "Socionics"?

Well I personally wouldn't call it that, but they do, and often think they're the only ones who truly understand Socionics because they think their "version" is right and everyone else is wrong.

This is a very poorly worded question and is specifically trying to get a particular answer. Try to learn to be unbiased, Maritsa.

Mariella, I've always listened to you and taken your suggestions into consideration. If you have a better way of wording my questions, please suggest them to me.
