2015 Type Galen Thread

Because enneagram instincts is by and large more telling of how naturally two people will interact.

Let me be clear, I do not hate IEEs by default. I don't hate any type by default.

I am still convinced that you cannot accurately determine instinct stackings without actively engaging with a person. Reading posts is not enough imho. /sidenote

But instinct stackings, fixations, and responses are still more telling of how two people will interact.
Reading/writing posts in a forum is different than informal communications in a more casual context.

Socionics only covers types of info, and something like how misscommunications and misunderstandings can occur when two different people are focusing on different TYPES of information. But Socionics doesn't cover the experiences, values, beliefs, education, etc which make up the actual content, and thus results, of the info processing. These latter things are more likely to influence how two people will actually interact, where they might agree and disagree, etc.

Think about it, we know that duality doesn't mean perfection, as there is still the personality issues, experiences, hopes/dreams, stressors, and stress responses that can interfere. This doesn't just influence duality, but identicals as well. It's part of how an IEE can have a sucky relationship with an SLI, a good long term relationship with an SLE, a friendship with an LSI, ESE, and even a possible future with an ILE.
