Anyone want to help make socionics scientific?

No. I’m not talking about problems in making scales or in research subjects using the scales. I’m talking about the proposal that for any given personality trait, the strength of that trait will show normal distribution. My understanding — based on reading I did several months ago — was that it’s been consistently found that traits distribute this way. Therefore, if you use a dichotomy, you may slice across the center of the curve where the greatest number of people are clustered.

@golden, there is an example of bimodal distribution in a recent post by Director Abbie [link]. I think standard distribution is most common, but by bimodal distribution does exist in research.

I don’t think she’s talking about bimodal, but about calibrating the average to the responses.

As Sindri said in an earlier response, the neutral point needs to be found and it takes a few steps of calibration and redesign @ golden.
