ah, doing the quoting nowlooks better
to understand the degree to which you have a function or value. to decide on the type without comparison to others/ITR is difficult for many.Why ? I don't get the point of doing this
for example, you can compare with your family and friends in your degree of emotional expression, logical reasoning, creativity or perception of alternatives, focus on material things around you etc. and try to feel how they are psychically, what traits dominate in their minds. try to feel who you are more drawn to, who are more interesting and less bland, who were the best/most sympathetic and worst/most frustrating in your life. you say you like intuitives - try to systematically review the types of the people you know and feel which ones are more for you. what I found when I did this - it was extraverts, intuitives and ethicists that were more interesting. dearest people to me were almost all Fi or Ne types.And , how would I do that ?
in Socionics there's some theories suggesting that we try to express our weak functions more in strangers' company, because we want to protect ourselves against criticism there. I can't say about your situation, anyways, only comment on what you report, talk about your behaviour and my impression from the video/pictures. ITR is the way to go - it's the basis of Sol's test, to try and see if there's correspondence between other data and the results by those who took the test. for example, it may be that the test reports that you prefer sensors to intuitives (the people that Sol typed in sensing, that is).I've even received it from people who are not close to me , some of them we hardly know each other on a level beyond our names
