    Well theories make assertions about reality in terms of what can't be seen. If there were to be a theory of the mind, then obviously you can't see a model of the mind existing or floating somewhere or something like that.

    So if you were to say, "You only say that because you want people to have things explained to you", then the only thing that's pertaining to is "Because it says so on Model A", and it's not at all relevant to how it actually is in reality. It says something about Model A, but it doesn't have anything to do with how my mind works or what my motivations were.

    So the purpose of a theory is to make assertions about reality in terms of what can't be seen, and also in ways that it actually is objectively describing what's actually going on in reality.

    And you might say, "Well how do you know that it's accurately describing reality?", and you don't really, perhaps until you can test it. The often used criteria is to predict something by assuming that if the theory is true, then we expect X to happen. If X doesn't happen, then there must be something wrong with the theory, because it means that the theory isn't accurately describing reality.

    But predicting things can't be the main point, because it's possible to correctly predict something and still have a useless theory. For example, I could say that "I predict that virtually anything could happen", and then it does, so my theory is true. That might be so, but it's useless.

    So another criteria is that it's solving a problem of some kind. A theory that can solve the problem better is preferred. And that criteria is going to be choosing a theory that can explain things better, and explain things more without complicating more things than necessary. As in, it solves more problems than creating more unresolved problems from the alternative theory.

    Maybe I’m just bad at making assumptions about people’s motivations (Fi and Ni) because Socionics is right

    You can use Model A to "explain" anything. If you're bad at it, then it's because of "weak Fi". If you're good at it, then perhaps it's the "strong Fe HA". Or perhaps you're using Ti to understand it. Or maybe it's the "strong, unconscious Te" that unconsciously gathers data. Maybe your Fi isn't really that bad, because PoLR is actually strong. And on and on.

    You might as well as say that you do anything because of a certain structure of your brain. Which isn't actually saying anything.

    Model A has a set structure. It’s just that you don’t see or think it’s real. Probably these caveats people make, make you feel insecure about it, like daddy is going away on a business trip for good.

    Just because YOU cannot observe or agree with something, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist, you filthy empiricist.

    Well you already got my motivation wrong, so I don't see how it could possibly be accurately describing my brain or my mind. You're just not being honest with yourself and make excuses when it get things wrong, and only remember when it confirms your own biases.

    What if you’re merely being dishonest with us about your motivations, and then on top of that, also hypocritically assuming I got your motivations wrong because I’m ESTx and you’re not admitting your own biases?

    Well that’s some major projection if I’ve ever seen any.

    Then explain why my motivation must be that "I want people to have things explained to me".

    Why not something else, such as "I'm just trolling and want to annoy people", or something like that, and countless other explanations? They're all equally valid, because they're all basically explanationless and have no compelling reason to prefer one over the other.

    You might want to try injecting more empirical evidence into your arguments. Just a little hint there.

    Maybe you’re interpreting me wrong or disagree with me because you can’t even read anything, as you’ve proven above.

    You quoted me saying "Define competence, which will be defined by a theory.", and you said "Now I see why you like your spiel so much.". I'd assume that this "spiel" that you're talking about is about me asking for a definition which will be defined by a theory, which is an explanation...!

    Yes, it could be that this is about misunderstanding or misinterpreting things, as that happens all the time because no communication is perfectly clear. So anyway, what is my supposed motivation, according to Model A? And how would we know that that motivation is the correct motivation out of many other possible motivations? And why would that have to do with Fi, Ti, etc, other than just saying that they have to do with them?

    Partly you are correct. Any idea needs objective experiment for final approvement.
    But it's also possibly to take a theoretical basis for some idea and to trust it for practical usage. For example, some med was effective on many people and we assume it will work similarly on other ones. With practically useful result so will be, though not with anyone.
    The problem with Socionics - there is too much of theory without any objective approvement. Too weak basis to trust highly to many theories.

    Well no offense to Sol but this is just wrong on so many levels.

    What makes something right or wrong will always be based on the arguments. And that argument will keep changing as people keep making new arguments and find new ways to be more objective. What people thought was "totally objective" before might be found out to be not so objective after all, and hence people find better ways to be more objective through better arguments.

    This just goes to show that there's no such thing as "Te", as these supposed "super objective" Te or Ti types keep making plain bad arguments based on bad thinking and bad philosophy. I don't blame them or their innate abilities, I blame their bad philosophy that they got from their bad culture. These types of thinking are cultural, not innate.

    Well like Sol, your mode of thinking is Empiricism, Inductivism, Verificationism... because that's the "default" mode of thinking in Western culture. So you just assume that's the criteria for what makes something "true" or "objective", because the culture tells you so. You know of no other modes of thinking because you've never questioned it, and you're just going along with what the culture or everybody else is saying is true.

    Socionics can't tell you what is truly objective or not objective, just as science can't tell you what is truly objective, because that has to be done in "meta" philosophical discussions that works outside of the boundary of Socionics or science.

    Apparently, Socionics tells us how our minds work, and not what kind of information is considered objective and not objective. The same with science. Saying that "Te is objectivity" is pointless, because within the framework of Socionics, Te just means something like Empiricism, which is not to the best of our current knowledge that is considered objective by most philosophers and scientists. And if you say "Well if Empiricism is not considered objective, then we'll just change the definition of Te to something else", then that's going to arbitrarily change the entire logical framework of Socionics, and it would mess up the whole thing.

    What's considered "objective" has changed over time. People used to think that myths were objective. Shamans were objective. What the kings and the bible said were objective. Because they knew of no other way of thinking. So it would make sense if they thought those things were objective, because they knew of no other way. And a "Te" person wouldn't have known Empiricism before even Empiricism was even conceived (in the 17th century). So before then, they would have thought Shamanism was objective and beat people around for not believing in Shamanism (just as they beat people around now for not believing in Empiricism), even though it's actually subjective (!?!?).

    Why all the sophism? It's just not possible to discuss what's objective and what's not objective within Socionics or even within science.

    It's simple enough to say, "Te types are objective" or "T types are objective" and there's that, but then the question becomes, what makes T types objective, other than just saying that they are?

    So we're going to need a criteria for what make something objective, and what makes something subjective.

    The criteria used in Socionics is merely the criteria derived from the current intellectual climate of the dominant culture. Namely, what's considered to be "objective" in Socionics is the Western culture's Empiricism. And what's considered subjective is something like Rationalism. Te vs Ti.

    Well, they're both found to be wrong or at least inadequate. A lot of progress have been made in philosophical and scientific arguments since the days when Jung was around. Both Empiricism and Rationalism are very old and outdated 17th century thinking. We have much newer systems of thought, such as falsificationism or critical rationalism.

    Even if you completely reject this kind of thinking and say that there's nothing wrong with Empiricism and that what I'm saying is total nonsense, someone else is going to find better ways to be objective. And that someone, obviously, is going to be making a better theory, and hence beat you to the game of finding the most objective psychological theory that there is.

    So these people who will find better ways to be objective will leave you to the dust, while you'll be stuck in the old and outdated way of thinking forever.

    Yeah, for some reason you take it out of context and attempt to change the meaning of the sentence. Nice try, you sneaky devil.

    Someone asked about the difference between Ti PoLR and Seeking, and I came up with a little description. (Discuss!)

    "Ti seeking is interested in how the inner workings of things are, the details of logical frameworks, when EIE then it is more about practical things, when ESE then it is often about more abstract things like astrophysics, but they can like both of course. with Ti PoLR, they may appreciate it if someone is good at that stuff, but they don't really wanna deal with those details, they annoy them, they don't see a use in them. IEE can be a bit of an exception because they are open minded to all kinds of ideas, practical or impractical, in that sense their Ti PoRL is more "flexible" perhaps thanks to Ne lead, at least in practice. with SEE, if you tell them the details of some abstract theory, they get bored and want you to get to the point, aka what is the meaning of this in the grand scheme of things (Ni seeking), why do you tell me this, what can I actually do with it (Se/Te)"

    Default Type•volution Taxonomy

    Someone came up with a spreadsheet document, which features descriptions of the IEs, including my take on it!
    He calls it "Typevolution Taxonomy". His overview of my article has the stamp of approval from me, hehe.


    Extroverted Thinking


    Categorization and employment of external logical information
    Assessing objective reality of available information
    Uses information for best effect or desired outcome
    Facts cannot be refuted as they are "objectively true"
    Objective realities with primarily objects - overlaps with Se
    (except more mental than Se)
    Logical application in the outside world


    Introverted Thinking

    @Olimpia, wouldn't "Inner "essence" of objects" apply to Ne more? I've often seen that for describing Ne...

    I have seen that too. It is defined as "getting the gist of things" by some. I think Oli is using essence a bit differently but I could be wrong.

    Yeah with essence I mean "core being", which would be one, generally.

    Whereas Ne is about a myriad of possibilities and aspects, it would be the possible or potential "essences" of one particular object, but that's not what I mean.

    And I don't even believe in "essences" within one object, in the way I understand the term. As I said, core being. There cannot be several. Kind of like the "soul" of something. You only have one "soul". You only have one "core essence/being".

    Ok, I'm not Olimpia, obviously.
    I'd say: (Inner) essence is the description of the structure of a single object, that's not .

    is more about what I call "pattern matching"; means: In which ways the attributes of object A matches the attributes of object B.
    Basically the comparison of attributes of different objects and grouping them by similarity or non-similarity.
    is also about attributes that are non-obvious.

    For in NF types I guess they compare the behaviour of people and look for similarities.

    ok.. hmm... I think Ne too is about some kind of inner essence tho, I explain it to myself as this: since Ne sees the potential of the objects, it's able to capture the inner essence of something/someone and develop from that.

    perhaps it's something in common to both intuitions, as feelers share in common an understanding of humanity, sensors are aware of the body, and thinkers stick to logical consistency.

    For some, essence is our greater being outside time, space and human thought processes. Think of it as the oversoul of all the lifetimes lived, whole and profoundly aware without the senses, holding the core of your true being. Each lifetime you live has it's own unique soul for guidance. The small voice within...

    Human terms do not do this concept justice. If you don't believe in more than one lifetime then it is meaningless anyway. There is no mpd at the core of a whole being. If a therapist tries to convince someone they are fragmented when they are not it is unethical and sometimes tragic. True DID is rare and due to extreme abuse. There can be temporary DID due to stress and overwhelming situations like the death of loved ones coinciding with other trauma. When someone has blurred lines between one lifetime and another they can become confused until they learn to tell what belongs to the their current lifetime and what belongs to another time and place. There is also the human imagination which is not limited in depth or breadth except by what it chooses to filter and focus on.

    I know you were probably joking but I said it anyway. Hope I answered your question

    and, yes it is being slow for me too lately.

    Yeah, intuition deals with abstraction in general. Ne is more about what something could be (abstractly), and Ni is more about what something is/will be (abstractly). Ne is more about all possible or imaginable expressions of an abstract object/idea, Ni is more about the one and only expression that reflects the core of it.

    As a more clear example, from the NF perspective, Ne is more concerned with all the different ways a person could be. Ni is more concerned with the core of that person and what is predictable over time.

    Ne is about all the forks in the road, Ni is about focusing on one road for a particular reason.

    Yeah but when Intuitive types like myself make abstractions from details to general sensory types jump down their throat and make assumptions or ask for more information.

    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?


    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE
