It doesn't surprise me that Socionics was created by a logical type because many of us don't trust that our "feelings are smarter" which is why it's immensely helpful to be able to use more systematized methods like IR as a way of making up for the Fe/Fi skills we inherently lack.
Logical types have gut feelings and filters about what sorts of ppl would be good with them though. At least, in conversations I’ve had they have said they do. I.e. you get set up on a blind date with a person who is superficially interested in art, lives a particular lifestyle, etc. But then it turns out you’re interested for completely different reasons and you don’t actually click. Or you’re going incompatible ways in life, etc.

What I mean is if a dynamic is causing you pain, or deep down you think something’s a bad idea, don’t let your socionics get in the way of your deeper feelings (intuition).
