Well, as an INTj i do indentify with much of Phaedrus's post, and not just the Ti portions, in relation to what my motivations are with philosophy. It is strange, because if you superficial-ize it a few levels it seems as if the attributions made to a Ti type are actually those of a Te (+ Ni) type, which supports the following idea ---

Was it also Phaedrus who said that once you get into topics of interest or subjects, like "truth" you are getting into the areas where socionics won't be of much help? And now Jonathan, you appear to be saying this also is difficult when one thinks about not just certain subject matters but also the approach to thinking about certain subjects?
