4 questions

Instructions:

* Answer according to what you wanna look like (look-a-like). Count points if it is a difficult question to answer.

2a. You are the type opposing your result in this table (Look-a-like relations):

54 questions

Instructions:

* Answer according to what you wanna look like (look-a-like)

* Utilize the unsure button when you are unsure due to a difficult question to answer philosophically, if you get too many Xs then my method wont work for you on this test.

2b. You are the type opposing your result in this table (Look-a-like relations):

ENTp - ESTp
ISFp - INFp
ESFj - ESTj
INTj - INFj
ENFj - ENTj
ISTj - ISFj
ESFp - ENFp
INTp - ISTp

My answers:





My result:


Why this method works:
"Business relations (also known as look-alike relations) are similar to identity and kindred in that partners have half their functions in common — in this case, all the even-numbered ones ("Producing functions 'come second' and are even-numbered: 2, 4, 6, and 8")."
Sources:
http://www.wikisocion.org/en/index.php?title=Business
http://www.wikisocion.org/en/index.p..._and_producing

Which means that what we want to look like is a product of an incomplete (half) perception of reality. The other half is what we actually are but can't perceive, (and in an "normal" individual what we want to look like):



"Aushra Augusta suggested that accepting functions focus on obtaining a picture of reality, and producing functions create some sort of 'new' product that is molded to that cross-cut of reality obtained by the accepting function."
Source:

This means that my method lets you produces a result that is going to when calculated with my algorithm (Look-a-like relations) give you your actual type.

If those tests have not changed from back when I took them (it's been some years, admittedly), then they are not useful for typing in socionics. For that matter, most socionics tests are not overly useful. (Socioniko.net had one that I would have loved to try out, but it is long closed down.)

You again.. I hope you reverse engineered both tests and proved them to be subjective, if not...

[Beautiful sky]

first one I got

If your type is INFj - "The Empath"
In a relationship you seek to reveal your great affection and empathy for your partner. You like to observe ethical conduct and aspire to create an ideal relationship between people. You could often be overanxious about your health for seemingly no apparent reason. You are fascinated by people who can demonstrate resourcefulness and efficiency.

Maybe there's a language barrier...so my self image is an INTj? I'm not like them.

There are two tests, both have the same kind of questions which assesses one's general nature; I'm a type of person who cares and values human relationships, ethics and bonds; so, in this generality of who I am, how can you assess me to be an analyst, an INTj?

you're saying essentially that the infj is really an intj? they are so different from one another; one is a merry dichotomy and the other, me, very serious.

I very much doubt that what you're trying to assess here has any accuracy. One test, perhaps the first one, is good enough to show someone's type, if the person is honest and objective, that means that they get their mom to help them answer the test

[Cuddly McFluffles]

You again..

Yes, me. This is a public discussion board. People tend to engage each other in discussion here, whether they agree or disagree with the person they are responding to.

I hope you reverse engineered both tests and proved them to be subjective, if not...

The first test is dichotomous, which is far less useful than typing by socionics IEs. The second test works off of traits that do not always correspond to a given dichotomy or IM element. If the source material is bad, then it is bad. And what does subjectiveness have to do with anything?

[griggerplease]

1. Usefulness is subjective.
2. What you believe to correspond is subjective. If you can prove that it doesn't correspond post some sources, I can't take you for your word anymore.
3. It is not bad til you link the sources which supposedly "don't" correspond.

ok, I don't think my self image, at least consciously is an INTj.

[Beautiful sky]

Look at the traits and how can one have the self image of something they are not?

There are people that:

Feeler type
Are interested in people and their feelings • Easily pass own moods onto others • Pay great attention to love and passion • Evaluate things by ethics and good or bad • Are often touchy or use emotional manipulation • Often pay compliments to please people
There are people that:

Thinker type:
Are interested in systems and structures • Subject everything to a logical analysis • Are normally relatively cold and unemotional • Evaluate things by intellect and true or false • Are not very keen on talking about feelings • Do not like to clear up arguments or quarrels

Now. Would you be kind and leave room for others? You are hijacking the thread. You can PM me.

[Cuddly McFluffles]

You know exactly what I meant.

Not really, but I am open to hearing your explanation and would prefer to hear it rather than voice assumptions.

1. Usefulness is subjective.

Sometimes.

2. What you believe to correspond is subjective. If you can prove that it doesn't correspond post some sources, I can't take you for your word anymore.
3. It is not bad til you link the sources which supposedly "don't" correspond.

You aren't posting sources here either, just your opinion of what works. Why demand of me what you aren't doing yourself?

Dichotomies are not hard and fast rules. There are Rationals who seem more Irrational at first glance. (Rick DeLong has written on this, but I don't recall where exactly.) I am one of them. I resisted being typed Rational for months because I was stuck on dichotomies and temperament descriptions that told me I was Irrational rather than Rational. I didn't start considering Fi-base (EII at the time) until Rick himself put it forward during a type consultation. There are also introverted Extratims and extroverted Introtims, which Rick has written about on his blog. Getting caught up in the dichotomies at the expense of IM elements is a bad practice and can lead to mistypes. But even if you want to argue that they are useful in some circumstances, take Rick's description of the dichotomies and compare them to that test. Furthermore, certain questions on that XL questionnaire are overly simplistic; the true answers can be highly context-dependent. I can go in-depth if necessary, but I don't really feel like it at this moment. Exploring when it does or does not apply is far more constructive than simply saying "I do/don't do this" and assigning it to one side of a scale.

By the way, your method gives me INTx, which is incredibly inaccurate when you look at the IEs involved. I am neither Ti base nor Ni base.

[griggerplease]

Not really, but I am open to hearing your explanation and would prefer to hear it rather than voice assumptions.

The essence of our discussions are not relevant to the threads we are discussing in. The discussions we have lead nowhere of relevance to the subject.

Perceived usefulness is subjective when it is done by a human.

Please follow the instructions i mentioned this already, read them again if you need to.

If you tested INTx that means you actually are IXXx so far. If you tested IXXx you diden't follow my instructions (abuse of unsure button).

Now please leave room for others to reply in the thread before it becomes to much of a read. The discussion is over please don't start a new one just for the sake of discussing, you can do that in another thread or you can PM me.

Edit: You need to try the 4 question test if you are testing INTx on the 54 question one.

Honestly, I don't value your opinion enough or think highly enough of your understanding (or your general attitude) to take the trouble of continuing this conversation elsewhere. Nor have you answered my objections in a relevant or satisfactory manner. I'll just toss this in the "irreconcilable opinions" bin and move on.

He simply made a theory...like socionics is a theory...that utilizing two tests he can determine the self image of one's type; if that doesn't agree with your assessment of yourself, why not just say why it doesn't or ask for a clarification about the possibility of how that works instead of just making a hard and fast rule about what socionics is which you interpret to be based on IE and then close the door on him theory/idea?

I see the above as being both aggressive and Ne devaluing.

1. Relevance:

"In information science and information retrieval, relevance denotes how well a retrieved document or set of documents meets the information need of the user." in other words you need more information to take make a system like mine. I don't have to teach to how to make this system, it is difficult though.

2. Satisfactory = Contentment
"Contentment is the acknowledgement and satisfaction of reaching capacity. The level of capacity reached may be sought after, expected, desired, or simply predetermined as the level in which provides contentment."
it is not expected of you to feel this way for now self explanatory reasons see point 1.

I took both the tests; the method seems to be fine, for me, so if one person is good than because it's not good for you it won't be good for others? I type by traits all the time, it comes out to be fine. Again, it's YOUR way or the highway, it seems like.
