I'm following you, I think. Socionics delves into all the functions and layers them to form a whole. Not unlike MBTI, but I understand their definitions are not the same.
Still, how is it not possible to mistype in socionics?
To use your example: how do you know you are EII? How do you know you haven't mixed up your creative function with your role function dependent upon what "situation" you were in when you took the test?
It seems that if socionics is more fluid and this flexibility allows for a "type" to fall in line more accurately within its more encompassing definitions - because of how broad that scope is, it would also be less definitive by nature.
Basically, where is your baseline and how do you know it is accurate according to socionics?
Well, keep in mind, I already disclosed that Socionics in itself does not consider Time within it's model; that is, it, MBTI, and the other typology systems have no logical structure to track changes over time in one's cognition. For this reason, I am not actually an adherent of Socionics, but I am able to use the combined logic of all the minds that go into it for my own logical thinking; e.g., heuristics.
I don't typically think of my own emotional state, nor how it changes per situation, but I am capable of doing such things, and often do in private. I altered my emotional state to the as little distortions as possible which I have experienced in my life. I call it "clearing one's frame." Then I took a regular dichotomous test. Overall, it would be erasure of as much distortion as possible. In-so-doing, EII was the highest level I could go with my current information (in the Socionics sense).
SLI is considered one level higher, by some accounts, and is the bifurication of the "Socion," upon which the next stage of the individual would occur. This is by Gulenko, another LII. Yermak similarly has a rough template of a 4D version of Socionics that hypothesizes combining Socionics with Time Parameter (in Socionics lingo), but neither one of them has concretized these hypothesis into a formal structure with discrete matrices. As I said earlier in the thread as well, this is due to the LSI being responsible for doing such, and his version would most likely be practical life that has nothing to do with typology lol.
One's "correct type," imo, to answer your primary question, is the dissolution of type. I, myself, am most interested in the pathways to do such, that I may assist others in such with as few wrong turns as possible. (it's an EII "want efficiency" thing)
