@Subteigh, a lot of people bring up the Barnum Effect when I tell them about socionics: the possibility that socionics is like astrology, in that there seems to be different personality types people really believe in, but they are all so vague that they fit anyone, and are meaningless. Because of this, I've tested this out on a few people. If I can decide their type, and I don't mind burning my credibility with them, I will read them their conflictor profile with conviction, so I'm actually biasing the results in the wrong direction. Everyone I've done this to has flat out told me I am wrong and it does not describe them. By contrast, when I read someone a profile of what I actually think they are, about half the people say it fits them really well and the other half say a lot of it fits them but there are details they disagree with.
If socionics is not describing real difference between people, how do you explain that?
