It might just further up the possibility that you would test as INFp (NiFe) in Socionics.
Cognitive functions in one system ought to be the same as cognitive functions in the other (regardless of what the fools say).
The quadras just group the 4 types that have the same "normal" functions in MBTI.
Iow, both the introverted and extroverted types that share the same last three letters.
And then those two types' anima/animus (so the NFPs and the STJs, or the NTJs and the SFPs, etc).
All of Socionics' major elements make tons of sense MBTI-wise, as long as you accept that the cognitive functions of an individual should be the same in both systems.
If you throw that assumption out the window, then it just becomes a giant stupid clusterfuck with no compatibility whatsoever.
Does it make more sense that one would be use Ne and Fi as one's top two functions in both systems?
Or Ne and Fi in one system, and Ni and Fe in the other system?
Even though both systems are derived from Jung?
Ignore tests. Ignore dichotomies. Ignore type descriptions.
Focus on the functions, and all the dumb, unnecessary complications go away.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I'd like to add that the N and T function definitions are similar. Socionics Fi is similar to MBTI's Fi, but socionics' Fe adds emphasis on expressing emotions.
The S functions are totally different.
