Journal of Socionics

[mu4]

One of the goals in the establishing this forum was the continued promotion of socionics in the English speaking world. One of the steps in doing this is to publish a journal of original socionics content/commentary on a regular basis. In that interest, I am starting that journal and a process of submission to that journal which will be edited by the moderation staff of the 16types.info.

As of right now, the timeline for the Journal is going to be once a year, with the first group of articles to be published on 3/15/2013.

Tcaud, you seems to attach your career/life prospect to this study. I think it's unlikely this study will be of that much potential in the near future, I would do something else to further your career/etc.

You can also learn not to threaten people and other things you do to harass people.

Want I really want from this thread, hmmkr, is for people to understand that although you try to look smart, you're actually an idiot.

Regarding the spread of socionics, it's not about how many people are aware of the theory, but who. To grow socionics, it is necessary to inform high talent people who have an interest in optimizing their success.

[Saberstorm]

Your sense of urgency is misplaced and will not be shared by others.

[tcaudilllg]

Which "others"?

To grow socionics, it is necessary to inform high talent people who have an interest in optimizing their success.

I think highly talented people who have an interest in optimizing their success are going to say, "not interested, I got better things to do."

It's probably college kids, who get bored surfing the internet get interested in, along with a small group of misfits, outcasts and lovable n'er do wells.

Anyways if you meet a highly talented person interested in optimizing their success, what if they steal your work!!!

Or they'll put it to their personal, private advantage. After realizing that people were making acquaintance with me just to drain my brain, I stopped advertising my expertise on dating sites.

But that was your strongest selling point!

I think making it an annual journal is a bit hopeful, I can imagine there being lots of flame wars about what exactly gets through which make it difficult to do every year. I guess you'll just allow the "non-controversial" writings (i.e. the great majority of people said it seemed reasonable) to get through.

In what format are we releasing this magazine?

E-journal in PDF format. The idea is to have a easily distributed product which could be provided for anyone interested.

Instead of creating a brazen unauthorized journal of socionics, why not integrate socionics into analytic psychology?

Unauthorized by who? Why should we need authorization from someone else?

How much analytical psychology actually uses concrete evidence? (Genuine question, I'm not sure how much Jung and etc. have been proven or accepted by psychology). Probably would be better to just accumulate what we know and what articles we think are good first, before we try to extend into somewhere else. I do think have a single, unchanging, journal would be a good idea, although it can be developed at the same time as the wiki page.

Oh, like a website, perhaps even a wiki.

I see one inevitable issue and that is whoever is in charge of the journal will either censor things or not censor them. I'm guessing part of your job as "moderators" will be to censor entries to only those which you think best represents the desired image of the journal.

What will be considered as the current intellectual paradigm of which to base entries to journal off of. Could you provide a baseline of some sort as to what is considered "compatible with Model A", perhaps some resources or links which can give an aspiring person an idea of what kind of journal one would be submitting entries to.

Anything else than quantity, variety and formal accomplishment in that jornal? I don't see any guidelines.

I will create the guideline and process in due time. I would say anything compatible with Model A would be acceptable, as well as somethings that would be outside of Model A. There is no journal or any original writing being organized in the English speaking world and for this topic to take off, it needs to occur at some level. I do remember you writing a few things that would probably be worthwhile to include, such as your commentaries on some Reinin dichotomies and quadra. If those could be expanded on and edited by the staff here, they would be of sufficient quality and rigor to include. This is just the beginning of the process and ultimately the goal is to produce a high quality product. I don't think this is going to go towards an academic level of review initially, and I think many times academic level of review is a waste of time.

If you have any ideas for submission, send me a pm or just post in this forum.

This essay of mine was tolerable: On static and dynamic functions

I'm not sure I'd call it completely canonical, but as musings go, it's a pretty good one.

I wrote two other interesting essays at around the same time, though I hold them in less esteem:
On conflict: The PoLR and HA
Holographic Supervision

[Absurd]

Politico’s Ben Smith attemps to drill down into the Wall Street Journal‘s decision to put a picture of Supreme Court nominee and Elena Kagan playing softball on its cover this morning. Were the Journal‘s editors trying to send its readers a message?

“If you turn the photo upside down, reverse the pixilation and simultaneously listen to Abbey Road backwards, while reading Roland Barthes, you will indeed find a very subtle hidden message,” said Journal spokeswoman Ashley Huston.

“I think your question is absurd,” said Journal Deputy Managing Editor Alan Murray in a separate email.

We have a feeling Robert Thomson had something to do with the first comment. Sounds just like him! And, Mr. Murray, is that question really so absurd? Sometimes a photo of a rumored lesbian playing softball is just a photo of a rumored lesbian playing softball. And sometimes it isn’t.

[tcaudilllg]

It won't matter. This place will never take off.

It is like a cow catcher for Tcaudilllg. (Or a lymph node)
