So one of the most widely accepted pieces of socionics theory is dimensionality. I'm confused because in practice I see people with talents that don't fit within the system of socionics. I see a surprising number of hard to type people or people that fit perfectly except that they possess much higher level of ability with a function that theoretically should be weak. I've been doing this a while and consider myself decent, but I suppose I could be mistaken. I'm starting to think we all get a random stat roll when we are born in each of the 8 functions and assigned a random type, with socionics dimensionality being the predictive indicator of what any given type is likely to excel at. Anyone else have a number of outliers or hard to type people? :shrug:
Edit: similar to the general concensus that IQ/EQ is type unrelated although there are probably type tendencies in ability
Edit2: real life is fun. I play a lot of games so I like to think of socionics as similar to d&d "classes". I honestly think it should come as no surprise that some people pick up traits from other classes. Like a bowman being proficient in healing magic. I think dimensionality is less of a power level thing and more of tendencies towards certain skills. Some people roll well and some roll like shit, and most in the middle to fit in the predictive framework. We have what appears to be a smart group of people here. Anyone forcibly multiclass? I have an LII friend with quick reaction speeds who takes adderal regularily to get an edge over people in fighting games. And he's LII, Ni demonstrative Ti heavy and all.
