This positive typing exprience is some higher than at random forum noobs (in several times) and it's positive. I do not get _systematically_ absurd results and then need to use additional baseless hypotheses to claim "it's because the base theory is wrong, let's redefine Jung's functions" or to explain nonsense by subtypes or other heresy. At me the basic theory works as should (mostly, as nontypes factors influence too). Though I do not use much of written by Augustinavichiute and do no trust to some of that qwhere it's too baseless or contradicts to Jung too much. Many ones use doubtful and muddy heresies and then get bs just because of that (like Reinin's dichotomies).
Also I read normal typology sources to study - several Socionics books, Jung's one, Augustinavichiute's articles, what you and the most here did not. You used lame translations and compilation from random doubtful sources after which thehotelambush may to write nonsense about basic types theory (for example he insisted that Si ego should tire quicker and based this strange interpretation of a citation - he has a hard mess in the head about types and this have appeared because the sources he used to study was the low quality mess too) even after years on this site lol.
Though I trust to own skills subjectively, like anyone today, I have objective basis to trust them more than to yours, for example.
While you trust to own typing versions not only redundantly when you get my other opinions. But even do not wish to get common info like a test (what is not hard for relatives) to check better are you correct. The correct types of people you know so good is very important to understand the types. And this another noobs problem - they do not care about the truth to do normal study of types or to use adequate theory, - they just play here. And without serious approach to check what they do, they do not notice how wrong they are and all looks ok for them.
The higher level of forum idiocy about "types game" is when appear censorship - the rules which forbid discussions about types. So if someone tells he's a unicorn and you disagree - you get a several monthes ban. If a typing noob does not like the type you assigned him in his typing theme - he may demand you to shut up and if you continue to discuss his type in his typing theme - you get the several monthes ban too. This Socionics role playing game is now supported by the mentioned rules at socioforum.
From what you know about me and you - you'd could to understand our difference in who and why is better expert. Your mind abbilities should allow this. But you do not, - you ask about evident. Why? Because you play in types here and spit on the reason.
