#SocionicsQuotes 0201

The latest edition of a longstanding column about some of the quirks of Socionics, communities that discuss it, and the fun of it all. Note: these quotes are not meant to definitively represent a type or an interaction, but may offer some insight or laughter into differences (or congruence) in perspectives.

ESI: It’s weird that betas think in generalities when it comes to people, 
Since they seem so fixated on specific definitions for everything [else]

ESI commenting on a struggle with a beta NF.


Delta NF: I think it’s helpful to normalize it. Which is not what I get in my surrounding environment 😳 so I have to repetitively do so to maintain inner equilibrium.
Delta ST: Enter someone who likes using his inclination to dominate processes to benevolently support your aim . […] …my fixation on processes and how it’s kind of why [O] is my nemesis in that [O] focuses on perception or interpretation with complete disregard for the process.
Delta NF: Hmm. That’s very true. I really think I spin my wheels when talking to people who focus on perception because I start looking through everyone else’s glasses… I can’t stay at home base with my own glasses when I do that. I find it strange how few people who seem to leave room for my own way of interpretation and help me focus on the process… I also can’t decide how much is my doing vs theirs 😐

Delta NF and ST commiserating about someone they view as distorting perception, as well as the NF expressing an interesting commentary on valuing Te and how that feels when encountered with certain emphasis on Fe-Ti interaction.


LII: [Remarking Gamma NT is wise, then adding…] It still doesn’t give him a right to act like a jerk and put others down.
SEE: Everyone has the “right” to act like a jerk. What you see as him being a jerk, I see as honesty. Its a difference in personality that should have nothing to do with official business.”

Socionics community-inspired drama.

Also, as a note, a piece I’m writing about “what each quadra is ok with being pushy about”, both alpha and gamma have 4D Fe “paired” with 4D Se (in ESE and SEE), yet alphas value Fe and gammas do not. More about this to come.

Have a fabulous #SocionicsQuotes day.
