I think socionics is "inter-subjective" and "hetero-phenomonal" and avoids many of the pitfalls of identity and identification.

This is because it is subjectivity with a third person(s), i.e the socio part of socionics.

So socionics is not merely typology, the categorization of "narrative" cognitive processes(call it monologue) but also the assessment of dialogue between "narrative" cognitive processes and the assessment of these systems in relation to one another.

I don't think of socionics as a typology, I would say it has determined identity to only be a emergent differentiation of the mind and not a "first cause" so to speak. I would be very hesitant to look at a typology that view it's types as the base causal mechanism, it's like a persistent weather front, eye of jupiter thing. One's mental life could be viewed as a gathering storm and its output the precipitation of that storm, and death the end of that storm.

So go make it rain...
