These are the information dichotomies that are foundation to Model A.

  • Intuition is defined as Perception that is Internal and Detached.
  • Sensation is defined as Perception that is External and Involved
  • Ethics is defined as Judgement that is Internal and Involved
  • Logic is defined as Judgement…

Ok, let's entertain the idea that SEEs achieve 'emotional excitation' though Se/Ni. How does that work? What is it about 'emotional excitation' that corresponds to either Sensation or Intuition? How is 'emotional excitation' either Detached (Intuition) or…Read more

It's Fe+Ni/Se in Socionics. It's very much a state of emotional excitation, as much as it is the experience of forceful intensity and relating it to transcendent themes.

It was very much an Ni conceptualisation of beauty, blocked with the Se natural forcefulness or vivacity. It's the sort of 'beauty' of riding a tiger through the jungle. It's not the sort of beauty of putting your feet up and sniffing daffodils.

Maybe you can articulate to me what you think I'm…Read more

'Aesthetic' means beauty, but 'beauty', like may other words, can mean different things. There are many EIEs who consider themselves 'aesthetes'. Aesthetic insofar as it corresponds to things just looking nice and welcoming, is more Si+Fe, because it is about aligning the sensory environment in a…Read more

Thank you for this explanation. You can see why I would have trouble typing you ESI in Socionics.  The whole point of these types is that they are preoccupied with the levels of closeness they feel to others, personally assess character, and take a harsh, protective approach to this. A leading function should be the prime motivator for…Read more

It's not going to be representative of the theory if you get your impression from what different so-and-sos said to you. Much better to look at the definitions.

It does depend on the type. For instance, the EII, which is Se Vulnerable and Si Mobilising IS…Read more

This is how we define Fi:

"Relations (R):

Do you have availability next week?

And goodness, I was so fat back then 😀

Best wishes

Jack

I would like to think that my group has developed a stronger culture since then, although I do not know who you are or when these incidents occurred. There was a period of greater toxicity with one influential member who we eventually removed from the…Read more

It seems intuitive to me to say that it hits the weaker, but more valued functions. In a Beta NF, this would be a loss of that feeling of certainty about oneself…Read more

I appreciate you were angry and I understand from our private conversation why you would feel the need to get things off your chest on here. I'm just glad I could come on here and we could talk about it with transparency.

What I would say though is that Kat is almost certainly an EIE in the Socionics. If you are going to…Read more

The most common type was by far and away ENFJ. It's likely the test was skewed, although at the time I thought that maybe ENFJ is just the ideal type for this school, and even moreso for the girls'…Read more

I just think it's important for people to be mindful that some types find some situations more overwhelming than others, and in your case, being asked to substantiate all your points in that debate was an overwhelming experience.
