Doesn't make any sense at all.
Doesn't work on myself, but works on some people I know well.

Makes sense of pretty much everything.

To me, socionics is filled with deep insights that seem to gel with my personal experience, but there are certain areas of the theory I'm still intensely skeptical of the validity or usefulness therein. In general outline, I would say socionics works fairly well for me and the people I know well, as individual types, but I vacillate on other's typings enough that it's hard to really say the interrelationships fit together except with some I know.
So B&D touched on usefulness. I haven't found it be useful in big ways, though maybe it will help me to understand my kids and not expect them to think the way I do? I can hope it will give me a broader perspective anyway. The bigger way I find it useful is in small ways here and there - mainly that I've learned to not take some things personally that I at one time would have.
