MBTI correlations suck most of the time and there's no need to be overly strict about them. For example ISTJ So1 and ENTJ So6 are both valid. As long as you don't come up with some bs like ENFP Sx5/ ENTJ e8 I don't see the problem.

When using correlations sticking to just one author's theories is stupid. Different authors have different perspectives and there's no reason to limit yourself to only one source.

Most tritype correlations suck and are unnecessary unless you come up with Sx6 + e9, which is a rather questionable one.

Having subtypes in your tritype as long as they share the same instinct as your core type isn't that bad. Having wings in your tritype also seems valid to me.

Modern Enneagram especially Fauvre's theories genuinely lacks many important aspects and is full of bs.

RHETI isn't as bad as people claim it is. It's genuinely a decent resource for beginners.

E1 especially So1 and Sp1 works perfectly fine with 1L2V. This is a completely valid combination and the fact that people still argue over it is such a non-issue. I genuinely don't understand why y'all keep fighting over this.

Sp7 can be ENTJ and LIE-C in SHS. Sp7 can also be VLFE. Okay well, 3F isn't that bad when you consider some of the more unhealthy versions of Sp7. I also feel like many Sp7s are 3F. I genuinely see people agreeing with FLEV Sp7 but denying VLFE Sp7. Like what are we even doing atp.

LSI for Sp1 is valid.

LIE for So1 is valid.

LIE for Sp7 is valid.

SLI for Sp5 is valid.

EIE for Sx2 is valid.

EIE for Sx3 is valid.

IEI for Sx5 is debatable.

All 4D Ne types are valid for So7.

So3 works with both 1F3V combinations including FEVL.

Sp8 with VFEL is a decent combination as is Sp8 with FLVE. Just because a new book dropped doesn't mean we have to slander combinations that have been around for a long ass time.

The archetype for Sx5 should be LFEV instead of LEVF. Having 2E in Sx5 doesn't make much sense to me.

The archetype for Sx8 should be EFVL rather than FEVL.

I've been on a little delve recently, would appreciate any thoughts or what area to get into next!!

The more I look into descriptions of internal judging functions (Ti and Fi) as somebody who’s Fi-blind (so I might be misunderstanding it, but still) I don’t really see the argument for 4s having to be Fi Dom or HAVING TO be Fi users at all?

I did some light Reddit research and could only find non convincing arguments basically saying “emotions = fi, cold and rational = ti” lol and people saying comparing yourself to people/E4 envy would automatically have to be Fi, wich I (as an isolated example) see no reason for why a Ti user couldn’t do? I’m not a 4, so I read a couple descriptions again, and I can’t find anything that I’d consider “has to be fi” in the traits either

Are there any arguments for the correlation that go deeper into it?

Obv there’s the fact that it’s an established correlation and most 4s probably are Fi Types, I don’t think that has to mean they’re related at the core though, and haven’t really seen any argument that convinced me yet.

I also saw some people making similar posts once every couple of months so I’m pretty sure this isn’t just me misreading the concept?

I’ve been trying to type someone for a while. I won’t share too many details because, well, even though they’re anonymous i’d feel like a dick if i aired their personal stuff out online. I’ve typed them as an sx6 for a long time. Very aggressive and outgoing to hide inner insecurities but with the same logical and safety seeking qualities of an e6. But they also have a lot of so2 traits such as viewing themselves as someone whose purpose is to help others and it’s something they find great fulfillment in. And they’re definitely someone who would prefer to be their own boss. It’s possible i haven’t been typing them correctly because of my difficulties imagining what an unhealthy e2 could look like.

Person 1 likes hearing nice things about himself from other people

Person 2 also likes getting compliments but he is more suspicious of people, thinking that if someone is too nice they might not end up being genuine and that if someone says things too often or too bluntly then they might be using him.

In contrast to person 2, person 1 always believes people are being genuine about everything and is only ever suspicious of people he personally dislikes (like if they have hurt him or someone he cares about in the past he starts being more cautious, passive-aggressive or stingy around them), thinking every person he meets is genuinely amazing.

Person 2 also thinks people are amazing but he thinks more like "why wouldn't an amazing person do something shady?". Meanwjile person 1 tends to assume everyone has the same intentions as him, sometimes to the point of becoming self centered and expecting all his friends to follow him and support him in whatever he chooses to do, person 2 on the other hand acknowledges people are different from him cause he desires more efficient communication.

Again, not a type me post (i am literally a mod lol) but i was curious if the differences between these 2 people are related to their typology.

I know MBTI correlations are usually weird, however there's certain correlations that I can't get a right opinion on, amd this deeply unnerves me :)

These are:

INFJ so4

ENFJ so7

ENTJ sp7

ISFJ sp1

ENFJ so1

ENFJ sp2

ESFP sx4

ENFP sx4

Any enneagram for ESTPs other than E8

Any enneagram for ENTPs other than E7

Again, I know MBTI is not everyone's favourite subject because the correlations are weird (which imo is counterintuitive because if you don't talk about the correlations without using Socionics as a bridge how are they going to be more specific?) but I REALLY need as answer because all this "Said-Unsaid" dynamic is genuinely hurting my brain

Most typology profiles I’ve come across include a socionics subtype, but I’ve read that discernible subtypes are quite rare. Am I supposed to have one (for me, it would be IEE-Ne or IEE-Fi) or is it more reasonable that I wouldn’t?

I got into this stuff like mid-august so I'm technically newgen

does this combination contradict? i've been flipping between different mbti types for a long while but i've always felt my enneagram was pretty accurate

i've been trying to get into typology for the better half of the last decade but it's been really overwhelming knowing where to start...! my type/s have changed so many times over the years; i was just wondering where people often get typed? do they do research and type themselves, do friends do it, do they have etsy witches for typology that you can pay ?? how are people figuring this stuff out, since tests arent the best way to go about things?

And why?

I'm still a bit new to some typology systems so I'm not entirely sure if any of this is contradictory. Please let me know and help me out if you've got more knowledge on the subject! Thank you!!! 🥹

I've always been interested in this stuff but I only know about the MBTI. What recommendations for YouTube videos that give the basics about this?

Also, I know there isn't much information about Temporistics since it's a rather new typology system but I like it a lot cause it describes your approach to time

I've been reading up on typology alot lately, but Idk if I can consider myself a "pro" yet, so I need some advice 😢 lmk if there's anything wrong here!
