Talk:Intuitive Ethical Introvert

Myers-Briggs INFJ vs. INFP
I don't know much about Socionics, but my understanding is that the Socionics INFp equates to the Myers-Briggs INFJ. For Introverts, the last letter is reversed because in Socionics, the last letter refers to the dominant function whereas in Myers-Briggs, the last letter refers to the primary Extraverted function (which in Introverts is the auxiliary). Is this accurate? In IEI, Intuition is dominant and Feeling is auxiliary, correct? That's equivalent to Myers-Briggs INFJ, not INFP. ThreeOfCups (talk) 02:23, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * While that functional ordering is correct, it is necessarily the case that information elements or functions in socionics such as introverted intuition and extroverted feeling mean the same thing as in MBTI or that the fact that functions are ordered in a certain way in socionics correspond to anything comparable in MBTI. they are both based on jungian observations on some level, and they share the same notation for many things, but the meaning of the underlying concepts is generally quite different.

 * what does that concretely mean? is an INFP reading this article losing his time? Twipley (talk) 17:06, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
