Tiny brain: mbti and socionics are interchangeable

Normal brain: mbti and socionics both developed from the same jungian theories in different environments and share qualities but are ultimately not the same theory

Galaxy brain: socionics is a conspiracy whereby people justify their mistyping in by ranting about how it all can be explained by their sixth function

Socionics functions vs MBTI functions vs Jung

So I mentioned Socionics and MBTI functions are different. They both come from the same source, Jung’s cognitive functions, which are rather different, too. Here’s how.

Se

Jung: Perceives in a realistic, concrete way--concerned with facts but not with drawing logical conclusions from them. Strong aesthetic sensibility--even draws moral conclusions based on “aesthetic purity.”

MBTI: Perceives “here and now” or “with the 5 primary senses.” Pleasure seeking, loves novelty, loves beauty. Good in high-intensity situations. Needs freedom, individualistic, fun.

Socionics: Perceives in terms of “kinetic energy.” Knowing what levers to pull and buttons to push to get results. Seeing weak points. Powerful, willful, competitive. Associated with aesthetics but only for their power value--cool, fashionable, intimidating.

Si

Jung: Absolutely fucking epic mythological internal world, but barely any ability to communicate appropriately with the outside world. Would be a great artist but tragically rarely will.

MBTI: Boring. Staid. Your parents. Your boss. Conservative. Terrific memory. Responsible. Level headed. Needs structure. Dislikes change. Nostalgic and focused on the past. Really good at improving at something gradually over time (because muscle memory, etc).

Socionics: Relaxed, cozy, love beauty, strong aesthetic sensibility, good at organizing their environment to produce the best internal sensations for them, carefree, very adaptable and willing to adapt without requiring explanation, poor long term planners.

Fe

Jung: Women be crazy, don’t they?

MBTI: Social and popular, smooths things over, good at blending in/getting along. Focused on finding objective moral conclusions. Tries to find a solution that is best for everyone.

Socionics: Can read and create passions, excitement, liveliness, fun, moods, emotional states. Can calm things down but is more likely to shake them up. Gets emotionally invested, gets others emotionally invested. Dislikes secrets. Focused on the immediate social/emotional landscape rather than the relationships it may impact.

Fi

Jung: Women be crazy but in a different way, don’t they?

MBTI: Personal values, individual morality. Always knows what they believe and puts their own individual opinions over the group. May seem less feeling, “still waters run deep.” Skeptical of conventions and norms.

Socionics: Evaluates relationships and psychological distance. Sense of etiquette and propriety. Does not see a need to be very demonstrative with emotions. Principled and serious.

Te

Jung: The reason nobody takes my ideas seriously. Concerned with concrete facts, data, organization, goal setting.

MBTI: Wants to make the external world more rational, by creating and upholding objective standards. Impersonal, blunt, “to the point.” Might believe that facts don’t care about your feelings.

Socionics: Deals with how things work and how they could be made to work better. Has a need to gather factual information, might love research and books. Really disturbed by saying anything they know not to be factually true, so blunt, not socially graceful.

Ti

Jung: Subjective, uses deductive reasoning, wants to abstract a system to its most fundamental principles. When they have created an idea/structure, they’ll release it into the world like the most negligent parent, letting it sink or swim on its own. Jung was Ti (Ti-S or what potentially might be Ti-Se).

MBTI: Concerned with how things fit together logically and if they “make sense,” not whether they are factually true or false. Wants to understand the “essence” of things. Independent, prefers working alone, potentially rebellious because of being critical of externally imposed structure, sometimes rigid.

Socionics: Can evaluate if things are logically consistent/correct, generate systems and structure, prefer to rely on their own experience/conclusions rather than authorities. Sensitive to redundant information. Dislike practicality. Dislike those who behave “irrationally.”

Ne

Jung: Function of entrepreneurs. In a few respects sounds more to me like how the other systems define Se and/or Te. Brainstormer, flighty, indecisive, focused on potential--in these ways, clearly not Se/Te-like.

MBTI: Wacky and creative, “outside the box,” can always see more possibilities, “looks behind” the data to find new connections and hidden potentials. Loves novelty, needs freedom, might seem scatterbrained.

Socionics: Able to see new possibilities, to accurately assess the talents (potential) of themselves and others, to see parallels between very different types of information. Sees many different ways something could happen. Likes the beginning stages of things.

All of them: Focused on potential, unable to tie own shoes, one of the better types.

Ni

Jung: Pulls together a wide array of phenomena into one, synthesized, image. Difficult to sway from their worldview and the images they perceive, which are often heavily abstracted from the reality that others see around them. With no outlet, is a “voice crying out in the wilderness.” Two subtypes: one for whom the imagery/associations they perceive is the only thing of value, and one who recognizes a moral value in these images and wants to communicate it.

MBTI: May appear “psychic” or have insights that “come out of nowhere” after they subconsciously piece something together. Feel things will play out with certainty according to what they foresee. Interest in archetypes and resolving paradoxes. “About the box” (as opposed to outside). Jung was Ni (INFJ).

Socionics: “Intuition of time.” Sees how things are developing, and where they are going. Focused on cause and effect. Rich mental world. Lazy and inactive. Can thrive in situations where they’re inexperienced or lack data. (However, they do not improve over time, unlike Si types.)

I’m sorry. This turned into much more of a shitpost than it was supposed to be.

I don’t think these definitions are fundamentally incompatible--in fact, I’ve illustrated each with a gif of a character who I think is correctly described by each system--but they don’t overlap 100% of the time.

one more shitposter

um hi everyone my name is [dan]

I finally decided to start a tumblr blog, mostly for writing some shit no one is interested in and following some anime blogs

some info about me (as if anyone wants to know it): my name is dasha, I'm 16, bisexual and live in russia. my main interests are japanese culture, languages (which I have absolutely no time to learn), reading, socionics and chemistry

I guess I’ll make posts in english mostly, but I might make some mistakes, as I’m still learning. there will be also some posts in my native language~

(I'll probably delete this post in a couple of days because it’s stupid)

Whenever someone starts being like “hmm, what if we grouped people by which four functions they used?” or “What if people are actually more capable of using the four functions not in their stack?” someone invariably busts through like the Kool-Aid man saying “socionics!”

But also I can’t exactly fault them because that’s literally how socionics happened

The responses to every MBTI post

(with apologies to one of my favorite humor articles, Every Comment on Recipe Blogs)

What are these acronyms??

Um actually if you’d read Jung in the original German you would know that Fe doesn’t grant you the ability to fly, but does provide support for a structured falling motion

OMG LOL IT’S SO TRUE I DO NEVER LEAVE THE HOUSE HAHAHA

(I, an INTJ copypasta)

Probably the wrong place to ask this but I’m pretty sure I’m a Ti-dom. I love information and research absolutely everything all the timeand never sleep. Anyway I haven’t researched a damn thing on MBTI so please tell me everything? Research is hard lol.

[in response to an answered ask about MBTI] Actually socionics says that you have 15 minutes before your house explodes. RUN.

[in response to an answered ask about typing]. ESFP [no logic given]

UGH why are Fi users like this?

I’m an INTJ. I disagree with this post and you shall taste...my revenge. *laughs evilly* (gif of someone laughing evilly)

(page-long post disagreeing with someone’s lived experience)

OP you’re obviously a feeler, thinker introverts only think of murder all day and have never seen a human

TRUUUUUUUUUU

You can’t spell ‘flatulent’ without ‘NT’ ~ Mod RATIONALSRULE

That’s probably maladaptive daydreaming, not Ne.

That’s probably being a person, not introversion.

OMG this reminds me of a story about my ESTP friend waking up on a rocket ship he’d broken into at the Smithsonian, and...(7 pages)

Another good resource is having David Keirsey’s babies.

OP, starting to get in touch with your inferior Ni, I see. Good luck.

(in response to a post that says ‘sensors can understand metaphors’) UM sO CAN INTUITIVES?!!:!?

I read only my type in this shitpost meme and didn’t agree with every aspect of it, it is terrible, this blog is terrible
