Maybe, maybe, too many maybe's.
OK. So in terms of the how/why (socionics vs enneagram), why is LSI E8 a problem for you? Explain like you did with IEI E8.
I know another ILI E4 though she's got a lot of Fi, EII isn't out of the question.okay I'm not the smartest person ever but I know myself pretty well, and from what I can gather I'd be ILI in socionics and 4 in enneagram. I don't see what else I would be (possibly SLI, I guess)
am I really mistyped though? lol I spent... way too much time figuring it out, and digging through bullshit, and admitting I wasn't good at things I'd like to be, etc. Maybe the system is unusable
As long as a theory is directly pointing to something real, it's fine and I do think socionics for example does talk about some real things. That post I responded to, however, went way too far in the theoretical realm, way past the point where we can link it to evidence directly.lol calling it bollocks doesn't make it so... evidence, Myst!
oh wait... this is all theoretical systemization based on individual speculation... wait, wait... THERE IS NO EVIDENCE? Whatever shall we do!
you can't actually definitively identify even one person who is one type for sure. take it with a grain of salt, yo.
So that's my evidence for it being bollocks haha (to be precise, it's highly unlikely that such theorizing is actually valid when checked out in reality)
Sure two E1s can look very different, this is normal. Same thing in Socionics, two people of the same socionics type can and will look very different. Enneagram does get at something deeper/hidden too. It doesn't look like you know Enneagram very well, though. The shared element between the people of the same type is not a cognitive one like in Socionics but it's still there.
Also, sure maybe some people figure out those things without using Enneagram but not everyone, apparently. I certainly didn't. I mean I did notice things about myself before getting into typology but I didn't have an explanation for them because I didn't take the time to observe patterns in my life. Enneagram was a good quick shortcut for recognizing themAt the same time, Socionics is also not that terribly unique, some of its principles can be found elsewhere, independent of Socionics.
