It's apparent in celebrity typing threads, forum members threads, PoLR threads...Most aren't going to hear a song and take the same things from it, even though the words are the same. Something like life experience and culture could make one interpret things differently. Like just thinking of the word cup and picturing a cup in our minds. The cups we see aren't going to be the same, and the memories associated with cups are going to warp whatever objective form of a cup there could be. It's when people shove their typing on others, and are relentless about it, that bothers me. I see it as a form of harassment, trying to tell someone who they are, which I think is completely wrong, (not that a person is a type), and about as annoying as a car salesman trying to sell you a car you don't want, or the feeling from reading about the wesboro church members. I usually accept the typings of others that seem to interpret socionics in a similar way as myself. As for the others, I still consider their typings, but don't take them as seriously, especially if their self-typing deviates far from my perception of what a type is suppose to be like. I honestly don't like typing people and will rarely give my opinion depending on a few factors. Familiarity and annoyance are a few.
I don't even know if any of that makes any sense. Excuse my lack of sleep. lol.
