    Question Honing in on Socionics and maybe a type

    I've kind of come full circle with Socionics and it occurred to me, what am I even supposed to be looking for? I truly think that I need some guidance in a certain direction, whatever direction that may be. There's a lot of models and theories so my usual ways aren't holding out like they usually can. It seems to me that there is a lot of interference between the different models in terms of a potential type, so I feel like I'm running through the same cycle, over and over. I've seen that some say you shouldn't be looking at type descriptions themselves but rather the IMEs and to feel if they resonate with your experience.

    My experience with any typology, in general, is that I simply scan through (eventually) the same material over and over again in hopes that something with finally internally align and *click*. I've realized, that a lot of my processing of this sort of information doesn't happen in the forefront of my mind when I am engaging with it. I simply want the click to happen, regardless of how it happens.

    My other experience is that I have a proclivity to want to be an intuitive. Funnily enough however, when that thought of "I want to be an intuitive, regardless of the accuracy of that typing to myself," truly clicks and rattles my bones, I go "Hold your horses, fuck that, I don't care what it is, I simply want it to be me." The reason I am posting is because the latter has finally happened. There is almost a sort of delayed humility in my search.

    The only other thing I can offer you is that I have have a very bare minimum of care for other people's stuff until it concerns me directly. For example, I like watching Chess on YouTube and my mom is always saying "You should watch the Queen's Gambit." Internally, I have absolutely no interest in watching it. But the kicker is that, down the line, I may actually end up watching it, because it finally comes into the scope of my interests' (clicks/resonates with me)and I will watch and be like "This is so good!" (This hasn't happened with the Queen's Gambit yet, but I am anticipating it). I see this very clearly in myself but it's honestly so interesting to me that this is how I work.
