    Default Can we all agree on these descriptions?

    ...if not, please suggest something better, for whichever description(s) you think needs improving/changing. Similarly, if you think that a description(s) is reliable, please say so.

    I'm not sure if that's what Diana meant but perhaps there is a problem with :

    I am attentive to emotional relationships between people. I am attentive to who likes who and who dislikes who. I am attentive to people’s needs. I am attentive to proper behavior
    I think there is bit of there.

    I think this is better for :

    I am attentive to the emotional relationships between myself and other people. I am attentive to people's personal character. I am attentive to morally correct behavior.

    I prefer this.

    Any other description of // is trite and too much Alpha-Betaism, and I honestly tired of them.

    So are you basically saying that this is a better description:
    I am attentive to emotional relationships between people. I am attentive to proper behavior.

    No, I meant that what I did write is better IMO. I thought it was clear but I will be very precise:

    "I am attentive to emotional relationships between people."
    "I am attentive to the emotional relationships between myself and other people."

    I think it's more clearly than if we specify that it's about the relationship between oneself and others.

    "I am attentive to proper behavior".
    "I am attentive to morally correct behavior."

    I think "proper" may be interpreted as both and , and "morally correct" is more clearly .

    I have a problem with the word "moral" because it can be seen as something religous by some people, including myself.

    Then use "ethical". Or "principled".

    The problem with "proper" is that it may mean "socially accepted" as in "do not go to a wedding without shaving" kind of stuff, rather than something involving deeper personal ethics.

    grrrrrr

    How about: "I am attentive to the relationships between people. I am attentive to people's personal character. I am attentive to the relationships between people and their likes/dislikes."

    (Actually, being attentive to people's personal character is closer to NeFi than just plain Fi. SeFi may make judgements on a person based on that person's actions, but an NeFi would make judgements on a person based on that person's internal character.)

    Note: I still don't agree with these, as they don't particularly follow the information metabolism aspect. However, in the language that people seem to prefer to use on this forum, the above suggestions make more sense.

    Also, I think the terms "emotions", "ethics", "morals", "logic", and "facts" should be scratched from the whole terminology. Not every F type is focused on emotions, ethics, and morals, that is an INTEREST based thing. It's just one of the subjects F types can have an interest in, but it is certainly not their only nor their main interest. Also, even F types would consider themselves logical and basing their decisions based on "facts". Ok, so it's not the external abstract "facts" which T types focus on, it's closer to the internal involved "facts" which F types focus on.

    It's not JUST about the relationships between ME and others, though. It's about his relationship with her, and her relationship with the other, and his relationship to his car, and her relationship to her clothes, and and and.

    I also think it's important to keep in mind that you should be looking at your behavior when you're at your healthiest and things aren't too stressful in your life.

    you are defining the functions with those needs?

    what do other people think about that?

    I've come up with this:


    I am attentive to arranging things in the correct order of importance.


    I am attentive to personal relationships and the behavior of people.

    What is it that separates those two?
    What makes arranging things according to importance exclusive to Ti?
    Why do you have Ti as active use of information while you have Fi as being passive?

    what makes Ti different than Fi : things versus relationships. i dont think someone would call relationships a thing. If someone calls a relationship a thing, that person prefers Ti.

    (relationship between persons)

    So why not change:
    I am attentive to arranging things in the correct order of importance.
    to
    I am attentive to the relationships between things.

    So that the choices become
    I am attentive to the relationships between things.
    I am attentive to the relationships between people.

    The more closely the sentence structures match each other, the more distinquished they become from the other.

    (I still don't completely agree with it, but given a choice of things vs people, i'll take people any day!!!)

    I'd pick things any day. I have no concern what so ever about relationships between people.

    EDIT: I find the idea repulsive.

    Did what I wrote above in other posts as well as what I wrote in Hugo's "Socionics" thread in general...did any of that make sense to you?

    No. Diana has put it right:

    Quote Originally Posted by Diana

    As far as the behavior goes -- well, I personally notice whether an action is morally correct and value that over it being socially correct. Lots of things are socially acceptable that I wouldn't find morally acceptable, and someone or their actions being socially acceptable doesn't even register with me most of the time. BUT, based on responses from esp. the ENFps, that's probably a more personal distinction than anything like that being able to be used to describe the function.
    Hugo

    Let me put it like this.

    "Proper behavior" for :

    "Don't behave like that, what will people think, you are making a bad impression".

    "Proper behavior" for :

    "Don't behave like that, it is wrong, only bad people do it".

    Yes -- "some people" who have as a role function, such as yourself. IXTjs who are > and who have a poor understanding of tend to interpret it as acting in a "socially acceptable" way. This is pointed out in descriptions of as a role function.

    I'm telling you that as long as you don't make the distinction clear you will have > types going for that description.

    EDIT: in at least some versions of his Quadra tests with pictures, McNew got the distinction right IMO.
