Why do you have so much difficulty pinning down your type, Dew?
Rofl. Laughed so hard reading this, love the sarcasm!
Hey! I admit I can be quite attention-seeking at times, but I'd like to think I don't patronize people.
And Absurd... we will remember you.
I can see myself in all the types. I've used socionics for some time as a tool for personal growth. So when I read about a characteristic of a type I think I exemplify, I wonder, is this a shade of myself I haven't yet discovered? Lack of awareness of my own best characteristics. Maybe that's Ni POLR? Lately with all the self-help, people-skills books I'm reading, I'm able to use those as a more realistic measuring stick, and not get consumed by the infinite personality possibilities that seem to exist in socionics.
I don't see personal growth as the best implementation for socionics. If anything I'd peg that more in the domain in Enneagram, since it has a very explicit focus on the betterment of each type in accordance to their main psychological fixations (the various levels of health in particular illustrate this very well). You seem to be taking socionics as a sort of abstract "personality" typology, which I don't think is a fair assessment of what the system attempts to illustrate about people. There's a difference between one's basic cognitive brain functioning and how those processes manifest externally.
What you say about lacking self-awareness sounds much more apt for an E3 than anything socionics has to say.
Who the heck is we. I don't know and do not want to know majority of yous. Socionics is like a second horoscope forum for me where people talk magic, read their daily horoscope, and compare their zodiac signs for compatibility. At least that's what most of you sound like to me.
What's the difference between thinking you're doing something and doing something?but I'd like to think I don't patronize people.
You're going to need a lot of those books.Lately with all the self-help, people-skills books I'm reading, I'm able to use those as a more realistic measuring stick, and not get consumed by the infinite personality possibilities that seem to exist in socionics.
Oh and one more thing, as long you see yourself in all the types there are, that is, infinite possibilities you call it, it means you're not going to settle on a type at all. It is impossible for the concept of infinity is referred thusly due to the fact it has no limit, it is boundless. That means no one is able to actually pinpoint a type for themselves and this socionics people talk about on here has no beginning nor end which further means there is no point in starting and finishing anything.
Ergo, people who reached infinity are absurd.
Haha, that guy said I'm not LSE because I'm not like him. There are your infinite possibilities, MD.

I think I don't want to know your type anymore, mountain dew.
