scholars and professionals to introduce it to them (preferably ones that are already familiar with MBTI, but it's not completely necessary). It is possible that you will find a handful of individuals that would

take an interest. It doesn't seem too far-fetched to me that at least a couple people would find some value in it. Even if it does gain some popularity, don't think that the greater scientific population will

accept it. At the moment Empiricism reigns supreme and everything is subjected to its harsh scrutiny. Aka if there is no evidence and it cannot be measured, it does not exist.
Socionics is theoretically measurable and relationship quality can be assessed objectively. I've already provided a explanation of the rough mechanisms of analysis, the problem is of course time/money/talent.

The openness to this idea is low as it is foreign and not established as an academic study even in foreign environments, clouded in Jungian terminology(which isn't accepted scientifically).

The probability of a large number of professors or scholar getting involved in socionics at a substantive level in the western world is low at the moment,

There are many scholars and professionals and even future professors here. WorkaholicsAnon is a medical doctor, I(and others) am a professional and Octo is a grad student and scientist, heath is a scientist. Kim is a teacher at the college level, as have been other individuals here. Certainly the intelligence to do science and do academic work is available.

Many of the individuals who have been here for a long time are professionals and/or individuals with post graduate degrees. To say that scholars or professionals aren't here seriously is underestimating the individuals in the community.

It takes a long time, it is not easy. The technology to do the measurement/analysis of this information is barely 15 years old and the number of people who have the talent to do this is very small.
