What do these signs mean—,
, 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,
(Ne) is not exactly the same as Ne in MBTI.
Just one example: in MBTI, Se (extraverted sensing) is associated with life pleasures, excitement etc. By contrast, the socionic function(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).
For this reason, we consider comparison between MBTI types and socionic types by functions to be rather useless than useful.

Jung explicity disagrees with this point. In "Psychological Types", he identifies excessive focus on the base function and its associated activities and worldviews as a primary source of neurosis.So in essence, if you're a mentally healthy individual, you don't have a defined auxiliary. If you do, you've reached levels of cognitive dissonance approaching MPD.

I think the order for using the chart should go more like this:
Why? Because introversion/extroversion seems the most obvious usually, and logic/ethics is also one of the more obvious dichotomies. I think rational and irrational is the biggest interpretive problem when one is trying to type himself, consequently in taking a literal step back to the dichotomy of rationality/irrationality. ie. debating between INTp and INTj and their differences.
Also notice that the more obvious dichotomies form into DarkAngelFireWolf69's communication styles, which is remodeled as many new mini-typologies. ET, IT, EF, and IF. One might subconsciously realize they are definitely one of these types before coming to a full decision.
Some mini-typologies redefine IF more in light of a silent feeling type, rather than a primarily ethics driven type. ie, MBTI uses feeling as a primarily dichotomy, where sometimes all of its F types are defined as being people-focused and involved in more ethical concerns. So MBTI in this aspect defines attitude, the verb part (thinking/feeling), where as Socionics defines the focus, the noun part (logic/ethics). I believe it is easy for a number of people to think about ethics and feel about logic, but obviously they are more correlated than independent.
As far as defining these steps dependent of one another, we have a more descriptive model for typing at socioniko.net http://www.socioniko.net/en/1.1.types/test.html, though the material it uses diminishes other Socionics material, such as more possibly useful correlative information that's on this site, only by natural dispute.
