I know that I have said before that I thought I was SiTe in terms of functions, but I'm not so sure about that anymore. Now I'm starting to think more TiSe. The interesting part is that I don't feel judging in the sense that I can be disorganized, have my mind wander when I should be paying attention, and act out more along the lines of what I feel like doing instead of thinking rationally.
So, what I'm saying is that I'm starting to doubt that the socionic model is perfect. And, no, I don't think that the MBTI model is perfect either. Although one thing I find interesting is that both the socionics and MBTI ISTP has a third and fourth functions of Ni and Fe. After learning more about the neurosis and PoLR functions, it would make a lot of sense that those would be Ni and Fe for me.
One other thing that I considered was relationships. I DEFINATELY get along with ENFPs WAY more than I do ENFJs.
By now, it must sound crazy for me to doubt my type... it should be ISTP, right? Yet, I can still see Ti and Se as my stronger functions rather than Si and Te. This would line up more with the MBTI Ti-Se-Ni-Fe ISTP. I have noticed similar problems with other people; they think that they are an INFP (or something else) but come to realized that they fit more Fi-Ne so they have to change.
Wouldn't this hint towards the socionics choice of dominant functions to be wrong?

, what to do with the logic is the creative function
. Istjs are good at making up rules and trying to force or convice others to make it into a law. Ive worked with a number of istjs and usually they were forefront in creating procedures and rules. They are highly affronted if you disregard their authority if they have a position. Even if what you are doing saves time or money or just plain makes more sense they will fight you. It must be cleared by them if they are in authority. They can quickly be guility of micromanaging employees making sure they follow the letter of the law. Istps can be guilty of being lazy. They dont like to do anything unless begged. Istjs are more compliant. They are usually more willing to cooperate and are less moody. Istjs will be on time or early while istps will be just in time or late. Istps are more fluid with life. They are moody and enjoy working with their hands more and dont care much for giving orders.
is their primary function but I do notice that sometimes they dress either plain or poorly ( I havent figured that one out yet) where as istjs are much neater and precise about how they dress (boaring :wink: )
is istps creative function. That means they like to toy with facts, mixing and matching to meet the needs of the moment. Istps dont mind showing off their knowledge either.
