I'm spin, an ILE that stumbled upon typology 8 years ago by taking a personality test online at the time without knowing the repercussions that will come out from that test. Can i sue them for wasting so much of my time ?
I'm new here, blame it on myresearch

Welcome Spin
The Barnum or Forer effect is the tendency for people to judge that general, universally valid statements about personality are actually specific descriptions of their own personalities. A "universally valid" statement is one that is true of everyone—or, more likely, nearly everyone. It is not known why people tend to make such misjudgments, but the effect has been experimentally reproduced.
The psychologist Paul Meehl named this fallacy "the P.T. Barnum effect" because Barnum built his circus and dime museum on the principle of having something for everyone. It is also called "the Forer effect" after its discoverer, the psychologist Bertram R. Forer, who modestly dubbed it "the fallacy of personal validation".

The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

Thanks everyone for the welcome, and Myresearch you know the real culprit here, don't hide behind the server unless you change your name to Myserver.
And yes Ihsan we will never get our time back, and this is where : Queue in the proposal :"We will as a collective sue all big names in the socionics typology stratosphere, as a class lawsuit to get monetary compensation for our time sunk into these theories and our life spent studying socionics".
Anyone in ?? Anyone ??

I do not suffer fools gladly.
Not if we decide to cooperate as a community and block each others and stop each others from making money in name of socionics so we can blame it on it in the end, it will be a win win situation in this case, and we get rich quickly.
As for a new model, I'll think about it.
