Recommend a professional socionics typer

[Varlawend]

Charging doesn't guarantee anything. I would never advise someone to get a typing from Gulenko merely because he charges for typings. He has mistyped multiple people, sometimes quite badly (maybe due to translation issues but anyways). All it means is that people seek him out for typings. You have to look at the track record of the typist to see what you're getting.

Ultimately whether a person is sure or not depends on them. I see a lot of people going around "shopping" for typings - usually it boosts their certainty somewhat, but not completely. Understanding how to apply the theory is what you really need. Unfortunately, this tends to be hard.

Charging certainly doesn't guarantee anything, that's for sure. But when Ibrahim claims Gulenko is mistyping people, all he seems to mean is that he disagrees with Gulenko's views and has a different opinion about their type in his own system. That's not the same thing as a mistype, and it is very unscrupulous to fail to distinguish between these things. To assume that his disagreement with Gulenko amounts to a mistyping on Gulenko's part, without any further reasoning, is mere fundamentalism, which Ibrahim has quite a track record of. The reason people seek out Gulenko for typings is because he is probably the most respected and experienced Socionist alive.

Ibrahim frequently makes things up about Gulenko's views due to his zeal to correct and discredit Gulenko, as I have shown in detail in this article: http://varlawend.blogspot.com/2020/0...ith-model.html. I can't imagine Ibrahim has very good reasons for engaging in this sort of behavior, but that is up to him. Maybe Ibrahim just doesn't want to have competitors.

Simply liking Model A is one thing, and can be very reasonable. But being a fundamentalist of Ibrahim's personal interpretation of Model A is an entirely different story; it is tyrannical and is completely unwarranted epistemologically. Anyways, many people think very highly of Victor Gulenko's typings, his book, and his work, so it is worth checking out at least:
