Socionics Reinin Dichotomies Test

[Pionart]

I thought this test was cool

HelloQuizzy.com: The Socionics Test

It tests on the Reinin dichotomies, some questions about quadra values, but mostly its questions that are obscure as to how they relate to particular types.

I'm interested to see how accurate people find it.

My score:

Your result for The Socionics Test ...
SLI - Sensing Logical Introtratim

 

[/DG/]

The percentages were very close together for me and the results were all over the place. :/

69% SLE - sensing logical extratratim
65% ESI
59% EIE
52% LIE or ILI or SLI
48% IEE or ESE
47% EII or LII
45% IEI
44% SEE or SEI
41% ILE
38% LSE
30% LSI

I'm wondering how exactly this was scored. SLE doesn't really fit me. (Also, fun fact! SLE is the standard medical acronym for systemic lupus erythematosus!)

A test that got me right?!

EIE - Ethical Intuitive Extratratim

EIEs are naturally animate and passionate and are skilled at generating liveliness and excitement. They believe that people need to be emotionally involved in life, not distant or indifferent to the important things that are happening. EIEs often hold strong views about governance and social custom, though their beliefs stem from the interests of their close emotional relationships. EIEs like to involve people in interaction and create groups based around a shared experience. They tend to try to continually broaden these groups and engage people who seem to be on the sidelines. The individuals who the EIE is spending time with are far more important to the EIE than the event that is actually taking place. EIEs like to make their friends laugh, and employ an over-the-top style of humor. Often the joke is on the EIE, whether or not they know it.

EIEs are one of the most insightful types about the minds and inner workings of people, and as a result are likely to be skilled persuaders. Their sensitivity to the emotional flow around them allows them a relative sense of emotional control of a situation, and they have an uncanny ability to convince others, even without the use of logic. EIEs generally don't use their persuasion tactics for manipulative gain over others (as much of their sense of self-worth comes from impacting people positively), but they can use these tactics negatively in cases where they cannot win approval of their arguments. In many situations, nevertheless, EIEs value equality among social standards and do not mind taking the back seat if others wish to take the lead. EIEs love their friends, and they will do anything to keep them. Time spent alone for the EIE is often spent thinking about how to better interact with close relationships, even when time spent in those relationships is not particularly pleasing. Even when the other individual is hostile, if the EIE judges them to be a friend they will act in a caring fashion and show affection to the other.

EIEs have a keen sense of the significance of the moment, life's flow of events, and the past and future evolution of things. The excitement they stimulate generally has to do with insensible things that can only be perceived over time, rather than with experiences that are captured in a specific moment. For example, they love to instill confidence in people by taking great detail to their problems and envisioning ways of handling them. EIEs are quite able to "paint pictures with words", so to speak. They enjoy having objects around them that provide a connection to the past, such as ancient trinkets or souvenirs, old-fashioned things, and items from another time and place. They like to be aware of and talk about their place in history, as the EIE's concept of humanity itself is largely perceived through the sensation of trends over time. As a result, they like to imagine scenarios of different ways a situation can unfold with their imagination; such actions give them a sense of security about what is to come.

EIEs are very open about their feelings of hesitation, apprehension, anticipation, and anxiety regarding events. Sometimes they are melodramatic about risks and dangers, but this helps them and those around them to be aware of and to prepare for possible negative turns of events. It disappoints the EIE greatly when advice given to another is rejected, but not much weighs a helpful EIE down more than to see people wasting their potential by dwelling in their past problems. They tend to believe that people, regardless of long-term psychological mistreatment, can improve their lives to some extent.

EIEs reject the idea that life is just a sequence of ho-hum everyday events with no particular meaning. They see everything to having a grand or symbolic purpose that arouses the imagination and passions. For that matter, EIEs seek to define their unique purpose in life, and orient goals around the meaning they infer from their experiences across time. They constantly seek to improve the negative conditions surrounding them, and so tend to look for problems even when it isn't necessary.

EIEs also frequently reflect on their dreams, making symoblizations of the events that occur in dreams and relating them to external reality. They enjoy contemplating on what their subconscious psyche is displaying to them.

LIE/ENTj. Congratulations: this is a result I have never, ever gotten before.

The next highest was ESI by one percentage point. My last posted type, IEI, actually came out pretty low.

SEIs have a strong connection to and ability to recognize internal physical states in themselves and others. They understand how these states are reached and are able to easily recreate or avoid them if desired. They are innately drawn to situations that satisfy their inner physical needs and experience. They are usually skilled at the art of recreation, enjoyment, and positive aesthetic experience.

SEIs often feel that they are in a rush, both mentally and physically. Therefore, they can sometimes feel like they need to get everything done at once (which can be explained by the SEIs base and role functions). When an SEI starts a personal project, they often have the tendency to try to get concrete results in the shortest amount of time, which can lead to rushing and carelessness. This could lead to the SEI becoming stressed and overworked.

Often unable to express their feelings well using words, the SEI will instead create "art" (artwork, food, writing, or any other aesthetic situations) to illustrate the comfort or discomfort that they are experiencing internally.

SEIs try to make their livingspace comforting and appealing to the senses and strive to improve the lives of those they are close to.

SEIs are sensitive to the emotional atmosphere around them, either from an individual, a group, or even from inanimate objects and their physical environment. A positive emotional atmosphere is essential to their sense of well being and inner peace, and they either try to create that atmosphere by directly influencing their surrounding, or by simply removing themselves from the situation or people that in their view is the cause of a negative emotional environment. In the former case they often use humor to lighten the atmosphere by cracking jokes and lighthearted teasing.

A SEI can also take the role of a "clown" of sorts to ensure all people are emotionally light and comfortable. SEIs are also capable of creating an intimate open atmosphere where others can be comfortable sharing their emotions or talking about their problems. SEIs also tend to mirror and heighten the emotions experienced by the group dynamically.

SEIs are generally unable to conceal their feelings because their faces are so emotionally expressive. They display their comfort and discomfort vividly, and can often be seen wearing the widest smiles or the longest frowns.

I took this test last year and got 72% for SEI and ILE back then, too. The other types have shifted a little.

EIE - Ethical Intuitive Extratratim

Nice. Weird right? You wouldn't think it would give the right result based on what the questions ask.

Though, the other posters so far don't have a score in line with their self typings so it could just be coincidence? I guess it's possible that the test is uncovering mistypings, but of course results from any test have to be taken with a grain of salt.

 

[boomslang]

The dichotomies sit in all sorts of bizarre ways, but I've found them to be accurate. They're not necessarily asking sensing/intuition/thinking/feeling questions, but they are narrowing it down throughout the quiz. That's why your results seem to come out strangely.

ESI - 65%
LIE - 58%
SLI - 58%
SEE - 53%
EII - 53%
ILE - 53%

The ESI sees reality primarily through static personal ethics and stable interpersonal bonds between individuals, including himself, where the status of such interpersonal bonds is determined by his personal ethics. The ESI is very confident in evaluating the ethical or moral qualities, and their consistency, of other people as well of himself. This makes ESIs seem "judgmental" or "self-righteous" to people less so inclined. If an ESI has difficulty in deciding the status of a personal relationship, he will take action to try to reach a conclusion, but if that continues to elude him, he will regard the relationship as not worth it. His own sense of constancy in personal ethics and in his relationships with others is a very strong factor in his sense of self-worth.



This is manifested as a very high regard for personal loyalty and integrity, both on the part of the ESI and of others towards each other and towards the ESI. The idea that he failed on that is extremely upsetting to an ESI, and such a suggestion, made by others, is seen as the ultimate insult if the ESI himself does not agree. The same goes for accusations of unethical or unprincipled behavior that the ESI regards as unjustified.



ESIs are very often more confident of the status of a personal relationship - and of what it should be in their view - than other persons; therefore ESIs often take it upon themselves to establish, maintain, preserve, or change the status of such relationships.



ESIs take direct action to accomplish their goals and desires in the face of external obstacles, and also the interests of their close friends, family, or associates. This may involve prodding others to take necessary action, deliberately applying pressure in specific situations, or abruptly taking on an organizational role. ESIs do not generally seek out confrontation, but neither are they afraid of it. They are inclined to be resolute in taking action and value this quality in themselves and others; however, this also leads to occasional impulsiveness, leading to actions that the ESI later regrets and wishing he hadn't taken, with considerable self-criticism.



ESIs take their responsibilities seriously and tend to perform them diligently and with care. They expect the same of others and make that clear. They can be very demanding co-workers and bosses, but not more than they are of themselves.



ESIs tend to evaluate people's ethical behavior "as it is" and not "as it could be" or "as it could be interpreted according to the context or another person's point of view". That means that they can be perceived as unrelentingly harsh, even unforgiving or vindictive, when correcting, punishing or even avenging what they see as unethical behavior, especially betrayal of trust. "Evil must be punished" or even "destroyed" is one of the ESI's mottos.



ESIs place great value in long-term achievement and accumulation of wealth, but only as long as those do not conflict with their introverted feeling priorities.



ESIs have a strong sense of what is and is not physically attractive, and will often judge themselves against a very difficult criteria.

Well for me, I think it might've been the way they tried to measure introversion vs. extraversion. I'm by and large an introvert (low energy, prefer to respond rather than initiate), but I tend not to be comfortable with one-on-one situations. Also, I'm not sure what made the intuitive scores fairly high.

 

[Pionart]

So far 3 people have dual types as their top two, and the first time I took the test I got SLI and IEE as my top two. Interesting.

Actually, it doesn't test based on those dichotomies at all. Some questions were about which functions you value, but most questions were based on divisions in the types that you wouldn't have ever heard of. These divisions don't seem to be widely given much credit though.

Reinin dichotomies - Wikisocion

What you might like to do, is read the description of each of the 11 dichotomies and try to decide which side of it you fall on, without first reading which types are meant to fall on which side, so as to not bias your results. Admittedly, it can be hard to determine which side you fall on for a lot of it.

Ehhhhhhhh... The Wikisocion Reinin descriptions aren't good. If you can get your hands on Reinin's book, use that.

Failing that, at least take a look at these:

Interesting read, thanks. However, I'm wondering what the logic is in these specific characteristics between each type. (This isn't something I need you to answer and I realize that I could delve deeper to find out if I really wanted to.)

More off topic stuff in spoiler tag

I was able to somewhat pick a side for 5 of the 11 dichotomies. Without counting the N types, SLE, SLI, and ESI (MBTI ESTP, ISTJ, and ISFP) recurred the most amount of times (4 of 5). Eliminating the extraverted type, I'm left with what correlates to the MBTI ISTJ and ISFP. This is interesting because I remember being torn between these two types specifically. There was no subconscious bias in picking the Renin dichotomies because it's not obvious to me what they correlate with. Factoring in my supposed interaction style of chart the course, it indicates ISTJ over ISFP. This is also interesting because I scored ISTJ on my very first MBTI test (though it was the Human metrics test) when I had no biases for MBTI. However, the test has indicated that ESI>>>>SLI for me (SLI was dead last...). So this is quite strange.

Your result for The Socionics Test ...

50% LII, 45% ESE, 50% SEI, 41% ILE, 39% LSI, 41% EIE, 42% IEI, 63% SLE, 39% ESI, 48% LIE, 48% ILI, 44% SEE, 62% EII, 56% LSE, 55% SLI and 55% IEE!


So, ESTp first, INFj second. Interesting.

 

[Pionart]

However, I'm wondering what the logic is in these specific characteristics between each type.

Some of them somewhat make sense if you look at what functions (TiFe vs FiTe, NiSe vs NeSi, Pe+Ji vs Pi+Je, N+T/S+F vs N+F/S+T) they refer to, others seem a lot more obscure.

ESI>>>>SLI for me (SLI was dead last...)

LSI was dead last, so it indicates you wouldn't be Ti-Se. SLI tied for 4th.

What's interesting is that practically everyone is scoring really low on LSI.

If out of the first 7 questions, 4 of my answers are "both or neither," I won't waste my time going any farther.
