    I like knowing why people do what they do.
    Socionics strikes a good balance between representing reality and making useful predictions.

    Without socionics I'd be less aware of the forces under the surface. It made me much quicker to judge which environments aren't good for me, and with better accuracy. You see people and instinctively understand that they might be looking for something different from you. You can present them with packages of Fe, Ti, Ni, Fi etc. and see how they react. Does it stress them? Do they gracefully dismantle your package? Do they redirect the conversation away from specific IM elements? Do they emphasise it? Do they use it to feed other IM elements?

    And all that knowledge can be used to others' benefit.
    "You wouldn't be happy working with those people. Think of it this way, a couple of weeks after you joined you'd find that ......"
    "He's not being a rebel, like the others in the team say, so he shouldn't be punished. He adds value that compensates for everyone else's weaknesses. Without him, ...."
    "I think you should invite .... [because this is the sort of stuff she might enjoy]"
    "But if we go together on a trip, you should know that I want to relax and that I don't care about seeing stuff and ticking boxes. I'm into what you might think of as "boring" activities."


    Oh. I should probably add that I don't use it to make conversations go more smoothly. I ultimately don't mind if what I say with honesty offends someone's sensibilities, unless it's unforeseen or it comes with objective costs. So I'll sometimes use socionics to make conversations go less smoothly.
