Can't argue that he was a sexist. I agree with your summation Gabe, which is why I have argued that many people model themselves after their cultures, ergo we have until the past 16 to 18 years lived in what we consider a SJ culture. I think a paradigm shift has changed it slightly to a NT culture and may shift greater with inflation (rise of gas=more telecommuters). Agreed, however the question is which do we show to the world. It is Myers-Briggs' theory that introverts do not show the world their true selves, thus we see the auxiliary function. This is the basis of her pattened belief that dominant introverted judgers appear as perceiving types while dominant introverted perceivers appear as judging types. Jung says that introverts do show their true selves, thus we see the Ti, Fi, Ni, Si. Based on that, (and it really turns my stomach to even admit this) Socionics may be correct in how the four letter codes should be allocated for introverted types. If that is true, Jung may have most likely defined Ti/Fi dominant types as IJs and Si/Ni dominant types as IPs.
Since there is some validity in this theory, I can only say that I am Ti-Se since Jung goes no further in explaining how the remaining functions fall into place, except to say that our most inferior function must be the opposite in attitude and two similar functions cannot follow one another (i.e. two judging or perceiving functions). This in itself confirms additional myths that types using Ne or Ni will not have the other well defined in their arsenal.

heh, NT culture, that's interesting. I remember my INTP friend telling me that he thought in 2000 that "geeks" would rule the world (Not that geeks are NTs, per se, but when I asked this friend to summarize geek culture, he listed what basically what I now know are theorist temperment values).
Anyway; so that's how the socionics code works? (I really have been living in a cave when it comes to socionics). Myers' four letter code does (intentionally or unintentionally) emphasize the extraverted functions. But if you read the booklet with the original type descriptions, it gives advice into percieving types (in the original jungian sense of that) developing judging, judging types developing percieving.
Beebe actually suggested somewhere that in general there is a significant difference between rational and irrational types. He also suggests that because they are likely to interprete each other's judgements as perceptions and vice versa. Speaking of rational types, that same MBTI booklet by myers is put together verrry rationally. And when I realized that the type descriptions have basically a form-letter format I (possibly because I'm an irrational type) became bored. Rational types always want some kind of order in the situation.
