The key words here are general functioning. Socionics is more than just a personality type model. It attempts to describe all of human consciousness as information processing by eight interacting functions. MBTI does break things down similarly but I haven't found it to be very accurate or coherent. Big 5 makes no such attempt, it's just a collection of binary traits. If these other viewpoints can be related to socionics in some way then I'd be more confident in them due to my familiarity with socionics, but I wouldn't reject them by default, that's completely absurd. I welcome any and all insight into human psychology.
I was exaggerating, but that assessment is based on the demonstrable fact that Big Pharma is the source of much of drug research funding (in itself a huge conflict of interest), as well as the reproducibility crisis in the humanities, plus the other ontological issues I've mentioned above. The idea that these "disorders" require being given drugs that may not actually solve the problem (or have side effects that are even worse) tends to amplify the issues with the underlying science many times over. But I'm open to being convinced that these things are really disorders and the supposed cures do help.This is what you had to say about ADD in the thread I made about ADD earlier:
"Ne is real, ADD is a fictional disorder used to drug up young children."
That's not taking the criteria for ADD with a "grain of salt." Your viewpoint on the matter amounts to conspiracy theory.
In socionics information aspects are categories of objective information - this is due to Augusta, not me. If you don't like it or can't understand it I suggest finding another forum. Maybe MBTI or Big 5 would be easier for you to understand.If you think that functioning is "Te", then you confuse objective reality with subjective reality in that you think that objective phenomena literally amount to information elements. Ie. you're tacitly roping people into your worldview about what reality even is with the theories posted on your website. So I'm not interested in reading your website.
