    Default What's your MBTI type, Deltas?

    The person's hypothesis I was testing out failed, so the poll doesn't matter anymore. But, this thread isn't a loss because people have been posting very odd socionics-MBTI connections. The most common switch is the J/P switch. I was under the impression that I/E, N/S, and F/T switches were rare, but after these threads, it's clear that it's more common than I thought it was.

    TL;DR
    If you have an I/E, N/S, or F/T switch, please explain how your socionics and MBTI type complement each other instead of contradict each other.

    That's what I got last time and it is pretty consistent although I can swap 8w7 for 7w8 in first place, anyway:

    You are a Type 7 with an 8 wing: "The Realist"

    Your tritype is 7w8, 8w7, 3w4.

    my combo isn't up there.

    I've tested INFJ in MBTI pretty consistently. I'm Fi-IEE in socionics.

    I regularly test as INFJ in MBTI, even though I'm not.

    Not too sure about mbti, but under keirsey, depending on my moods or circumstances at the time, I would 'test' as xnfx. My shyness and insecurities would lead to me getting I>E, and my belief at the time that the P traits were bad and I needed to develop my J traits would lead to efforts that would test as really close on the J/P scale. (I was constantly told that the P traits were bad, that's why I was working so hard on the J traits.)

    In socionics, I fall under Ne-IEE.

    NO!!!

    just cause you're INFP in MBTI doesn't really say much about what u are in socionics i think.

    I've heard it said that the p and j are switched from MBTI to socionics so it could be those of us quiet IEEs who are testing INFJ instead of ENFJ. Meanwhile you're testing INFP in MBTI and you're INFj in socionics. Seems consistent with that premise.

    Anyway, in Sergei Ganin's test on socionics.com i keep coming out INFJ/P (it seems to test MBTI-like differences).

    ENTJ


    I've concluded I am not Te subtype (LSE)
    Si subtype it is, then.


    Not sure about DNCH

    ??? I remember you saying you had to "learn" N stuff...wouldn't that make you an ESTJ in MBTI? N vs. S isn't THAT different from socionics to MBTI, is it?

    It's all fine, I was just joking about the Delta being J . Anyway, there's no need to go try to change your MBTI type because you're a different Socionics type. If I knew tons of people who were actually into this stuff they might do the same thing too and try to make things consistent, where in reality its not like that at all. My father is an ISTP in MBTI too, and guess what, he's pretty clearly an Ni-ENFj in Socionics. I have absolutely no doubt in either of these typings, just that I've read MBTI books and the first typing comes from the dichotomies and 'craftsman' Ti/Se stereotype, that's consistent with MBTI (because the function definitions are a further adaptation to the dichotomies), where the second one fits the "ENFj" functions, temperament, and stereotype. Just like WA was talking about, they gauge aspects on a different plane of personality, so I could go all into how he's both, or how anyone could be. Socionics is also much closer to Jung too, the common interpretation of MBTI functions does not equal Jung.

    I think here on the forum, we often have somewhat similar dichotomy typings based on the fact that there is some evidentual correlation between the two, and this intellectual environment is often more for MBTI "N"s who would most likely, though not always, remain N in Socionics, but its not on a major scale.

    Similarly, I was asking Absurd why he thinks he's ESTJ in MBTI when he used to be INTP. I think it would be a much more reasonable estimation to stay with the INTP/LSE typing, or whatever his real MBTI type is, instead of trying to ideally make it fit, if that's what he's doing I am unsure.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he absurd was joking, though

    From what I understand I/E switches are fairly common, but the other two are rare.

    I'm ENFP and IEE-Ne.

    I took a few MBTI tests and I think they were all INFJ and once INTP, but I don't remember, it was at least 7 years ago. I type as EII (Fi) since I'm not entirely confident of subtypes I'd rather not identify with them too strongly
    EII INFj

    This doesn't really answer the question, but originally I tested as INTP. Then I took the test again and was INTJ. Another day I took it and was INFP.

    It took me years and years to decide that the wording on the MBTI test was so misleading that it was giving me completely wrong answers, and I decided I was either ISFP or ISTP.

    I always VALUED intuition. I remember watching movies when I was a kid - for instance, 'The Neverending Story' - that highly valued imagination as such. So on a test, when I have to choose 'Do you like the dull, boring, stupid, monotonous Muggle world, or do you like the world of magic and imagination and fantasy?' I will often answer that I like imagination instead of the real world.

    Somebody on a different thread mentioned that there could be a test for whether someone values a particular function even if it's not the function that they themselves are strong in.

    So anyway, there's no connection at all between my old MBTI tests and my more recent decision that I am a SLI. The MBTI tests seem to be giving 'INTJ' and 'ENTJ' to lots of SP artisans, from what I've read elsewhere.

    Linda Berens has a couple of interesting articles on Se and why some SP types test Ne. Are those the ones you're referring to?

    I suppose I should give some sort of answer myself, given my other contributions here. To be honest, I'm not certain on either right now. I'm probably P>J and a Feeler. NF descriptions give me minor indigestion, and S(F)P doesn't quite fit, either. Results from typing threads are pretty diverse, ranging from INFP to ESTP to ENTJ.

    I totally agree! Though I usually don't like tests in general. Reading about the theory is helpful, and reading descriptions to see the application of the theory is helpful (though, you have to be careful not to believe everything you read, because if it's not part of the theory, it's a tendency--or a stereotype!). But tests? They can put you all over the place...plus, sometimes you don't know yourself well enough, or don't know certain characteristics about yourself to answer accurately. I used to test as ISFJ because I didn't know about myself in terms of intuition vs. sensing and Ni vs. Si.

    Best correlations:

    IEE - ENFJ
    EII - INFJ
    LSE - Actually ESFP by functions, but most will probably score ESTJ in dichotomy tests (which are bullshit, almost as much so as Socionics dichotomy tests).
    SLI - ISTP
    Oh, and Maritsa is a crazy ENTP, but she's, well... Maritsa.
    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.
