But if you think about it, Russia is spending millions or billions of rubles on their space program, you don't send people into space from a garage in an industrial estate. Do you really think they would use a cult unproven untestable theory to decide whom should push the boundary of long term space exploration?
Yes.

I am beginning to wonder about the Gamma NT and their ability to apply critical thinking.
Well, Gamma NT's care less about titles and more about what works. My ability to apply critical thinking is not the greatest in the socion (that would probably be the LII's or the LSI's), but I think my ability to apply sufficiently critical thinking to effective action is unexcelled. That ability also includes room for course corrections in the face of changing conditions which, if you think about it, would be hampered by strict adherence to a perfect theory.

I don't know, I thought @Jarno's advice was pretty good, which I interpreted as "try everything you can get your hands on, try not to die, and stop when you get bored or see something that is really dangerous." Good, practical advice from the quadra with the Pioneers in it.

I think most of the astronauts are Gamma NT. Certainly most are first-born and are natural pioneers who are willing to travel to new places to seek new opportunities, which sounds LIE to me. We take risks, but calculated risks, and it is good to have LII and LSI backup, so yes, I think that an organization that has a lot of Gamma NT's in it might be willing to apply Socionics. We think a theory is good if it works 80% of the time. It doesn't have to be perfect.
