1. best source:
Jung was kind of a nut but his analytical psychology makes several compelling points, and socionics blatantly rips off many of his ideas (something that would be apparent to most non-blind people who've actually read Psychological Types, if none of his other books or essays, you lazy assholes.)
2. do you use accepting/producing subtypes?
Kinda did but kinda don't. Contact/inert might be more sensible but I don't really care enough any longer to bother reading on it in detail.
3. do you use reinin dichotomies?
Only the non-stupid ones, and only loosely. There's a bad tendency among dummies to get hung up on literal definitions of labels (like aristocratic or merry) and form sharply prescriptive behavioral/attitudinal expectations around them that don't jibe with reality.
4 do you use dcnh?
Hell no.
5. do you use enneagram? if so, is it:
Enneagram addresses certain psychological aspects that socionics doesn't, so their conjunction can produce useful cross-sections of an analysand's mental makeup.
6. do you use cognitive styles (ok, same thing as reinins basically, but some might use one or the other)?
I've pondered them but they aren't given much weight in a type analysis. Mostly as a final nail in the ol' coffin after the several others have already been pounded in.
7. do you use erotic styles? if yes, are they:
Not too much. They also pose the same problem in the hands of color-by-numbers analysts as Reinins do.
7. mbti:
Traduces Jung's ideas and attaches itself to his name to gain legitimacy, much like the supposed "science" of socionics.
8. on a scale of 1 (never) to 10 (always), how much much do you use intertype relations when typing?
Let's say 8. It's useful for contextualizing observations though again it's quite possible to read too much into intertype and arrive at a faulty analysis, just as with DCNH, Reinin, etc.
9. on a scale of 1 (never) to 10 (always), how much do you use intertype relations for prediction?[/QUOTE]
