What do you think is the fifth best relationship type?

[Wynch]

LOL which was exactly my answer, too!

Semi-Duals are the shit.

Maritsa: I truly do not intend to cause any offense when I say this, but when you listed your conflict as third and super-ego as fourth, then said that you "make supportive and loving friends" with your conflict relations, it made me think that you need to reexamine your type.

As everyone knows, there are pretty much two ways to type people. You can examine them individually as you find behaviors, mind sets, body types, "vibes", etc. about them and then categorize them into one of the 16 personality types. Then, there's the other way of typing people which is learning how they interact with other personality types and then typing them according to that. Often, I'll use one way to type someone, then I'll use the other way to "check my work." Say if I ask someone a whole bunch of questions and I figure that they are an ISFP, but when I see them interact with an ESTP, they are able to relax and open up much more than they were when they were interacting with me. I would then go back to square one in my evaluation because my first typing was not congruent with their interaction with other types in their environment.

when you stop and think about it, this is a dumb question. because by the time you get down to FIFTH best types, too many other factors trump type, imo. like enneagram and instinct stacking and background and values and religion and even age and proximity.

i sort of agree but then its like why is it silly once it gets to the fifth? why not the third? is there some kind of line drawn where humans start mattering more than types? does it come just after duality?

not saying you guys dont value humans lol...just my frustration in general

I think socionics plays a higher role in intraquadral relationship and opposing quadra relationships for that matter. Not that you'll automatically dislike your opposing quadra or even that you'll tend to dislike them. Just that there will tend to be a barrier in communication with opposing quadra types.

It's okay, I don't value humans. I value cheesecake.
