    Saying "Types exist" or "This person fits type description X" has as much use as saying "Apples Really Fall If I Drop It".

    What if there are behaviors that are not in any description? Then you can't know anything about it. And what is in a type description? Whatever that we have observed before. So the "theory" can only know what it has already been observed. Which by definition, is not a prediction. A prediction would imply something that we have never even observed before.

    Science can assert things that have never been observed before, and get the prediction right. Every. Single. Time. So why can't Socionics?
