    Default Conclusions and Speculation

    Thanks to everyone who has provided thoughts on my type. Here are the conclusions I've drawn from your responses. Many are shallow but informative.
    • VI-wise, ILI fits better than LII, though the structured nature of my stature indicates Ij > Ip.
    • Ti is very noticeable within my speech and writing.
    • Holistically, most judgments were made regarding temperament with Ij being the clear victor over Ip.


    The picture of an ILI is beginning to become more clear to me - and I see myself less and less like one. A planned person with foresight who deliberately makes sure his actions are not impulsive fits more in line with LII than ILI, and that's what thoroughly resonates with me. However, the main hole with an LII typing is that, quadra-wise, gamma fits better than alpha since my goals and interests are related to valued Te and Se. I'd like to brush this off by saying that I have a strong 3 fix (possibly 3 core type, though I can't relate to the core fears and motivations nearly enough), though I'd have to look into that more closely.

    Moreover, I'm still not certain of Ti being valued despite my abundant use of it. Logical consistency and structure is something I use as a tool mostly to solve a problem. If there is a more pragmatic solution, I will almost always choose it over the one I would have chosen "on principle" since I don't see the use of abiding by principles that don't make my life easier. For example, abiding by strict mathematical formalism in physics is completely unnecessary and I think that people who do that are wasting their time since mathematics in physics is but a tool to solve a problem rather than an end in and of itself. The reason why I'm so strict with logic and structure within socionics is because it isn't a very empirical theory (it's not falsifiable in its current state) and so to treat it without such precision would inevitably lead to incorrect conclusions or at least a system that is inconsistent - and an axiomatic system that is inconsistent is completely useless since it can prove literally anything.

    It's a matter of distinguishing cognition from behaviour for me. I'm a very planned (rather than impulsive) person who is organized and logical, but I'm also a hard core pragmatist that just wants to get the job done with minimal energy expended. (I'm also not an LSI despite that type holding the title of "pragmatist"). I have no problem with adapting myself or my plans according to the information available or my environment yet I still prefer to think ahead and have some potential solutions in anticipation. It's basically a repeat of the issue I had in MBTI where I was considering INTP due to my systematic and logical nature and INTJ due to my inclination towards foresight, planning, and structure, but it's made more difficult since socionics is more nuanced and both types have the same strong functions rather than INTPs just not using Ni and INTJs Ti.

    It's a contradictory situation that I think can only be solved by constant observation of intertype relations. And so that's what I'll do. I'll therefore not type myself for a good while.

    Thanks again.

    EDIT: On reflection, it seems like my use of the word impulsive is not what others have in mind. I'll have to take that into consideration.

    EDIT 2: On second reflection, I think I really need to hone in on my relationship with planning and structure. Comparing myself to my LSI friends is yielding a number of interesting facts.
