If socionics took over your brain I doubt you'd realise it.

I might notice a person's type in passing, in the same sense that I'd notice their hair or eye color. Knowing typology indeed helps me clarify some things about people and better perceive where they're coming from—up to a point. Beyond that, it's all individual differences, and it's easy for me to get lost in understanding a person to a point that type fades well into the background as a distant afterthought.
Socionics observation is not pure observation; you look for evidence to confirm socionic differences rather than observing with pure empiricism. Socionics is putting logos before observation instead of observation before logos.

Another example of the intellectual inelegance of socionics.
