Jack Flak's Function System Adventure

[Jack Flak]

About Ni, yes, I said that the way socionics describes Ni use in the INTP, it makes perfect sense. But so does the way MBTT describes Ti in the INTP. Hence: abandoning both function systems.

That's BlueWing logic! And I disagree with it.

I still think the best way to describe the functions is as I have, because it's simple, and doesn't go very far into the territory of "Well, it could be this, but we don't know."

Yes that's makes sense to me. That "it could be that" crap I dont like either.

If a person is more concerned with N than any other function, T or F may be the Support function.

I "get it" now. I just had to read for a while because I wasn't really interested until I correctly started to see the sense in it. So far my faith in this science lies in Socionics. Their descriptions are spot on.
