But I think there is something wrong with the idea of duality, which is an inherent problem with socionics.

I think people in this system are seen as a sequence of blocks of information that fits (or doesn't fit) with other blocks of information.

I think this is a very flat view of personality and humanity in general.

It's not crazy to say that everyone has different experiences and skills even within the same type.

I think people should take it for what it is and even a conflicting type could still be an excellent partner it just depends on the people involved and what they need in a partner.
Socionic theory inspire laziness, suggesting being with a dual would require minimal work. Imo, dual relationship psychological differences are resolved easier. Your dual is a guardian. In effect, even if you were involved in criminal activity your dual could somewhat decipher your motivation.

I don't believe any of that means duals will agree on things as understanding & agreement are different things. Optimal relationships, ime, require genuine agreement
