    I've never looked into the big 5 because I was under the impression it was only a test. I use socionics all the time in my daily life and I couldn't do that if I had to compute a factor model in my head. Unless I'm mistaken about the big 5, I much prefer socionics because I can actually use it. Plus, it sounds like knowing how someone ranks in the big 5 doesn't give you much useful information. No need to be judgmental about which one you prefer.

    And to all people who like the big 5, that's cool, but please go to a big 5 forum to discuss it.

    I don't especially like the Big Five, my point was focused on it being far more widely covered than Socionics, and thus possibly a good guide for how far Socionics has to go before it qualifies as a hypothesis.
