 Posted: Sun May 31, 2009 3:18 am Post subject: MBTI compatibility? |
 |
|
| Are there any theories behind compatibility between the different types? I imagine some sort of charts and/or deductions can be made, assuming of course all other factors are equal. |

yes theories exist (often based on what are called "functions")
others here can probably explain them better than i
but, here is the problem: "assuming of course all other factors are equal"
all other factors are never equal
i think N's tend to get along with N's better and S's with other S's
mentally, i tend to get along best with some other intjs and entjs
the Big 5 test (RCOEI for me) and just a ranking of Enneagram results 5-1-8-9....(again for me in descending order) also will likely show things in common but, not necessarily compatiblity. compatiblity for me (for women) is largely what balances me out. what is most important for me are shared values-beliefs-ideals. common interests are important, being understood (if possible), trust and so on.

Socionics has theories. It is a different theory from MBTI.

people within the same personality type have adapted to life's issues in different ways. Take XNTJs, some are generalists, some are specialists, some liberal, some fundamentalists. Some are pro and anti this and that. Some strong, some weak, some attractive, some butt ass fugly. That has a lot more to do with compatibility that personality processing in the long run, and everyone is changing and evolving in relationship to their actual processes and value associations.
That being said, fuck Fe.

I understand what you all are saying and I'm not implying that I would necessarily take compatibility ratings as the end all be all. However, having said that some have a predisposition to better suit one personality trait over another. Hence my saying all other things equal. Chemistry is chemistry, is it not? You can meet someone with the same values-beliefs-ideals, but that does not mean a strong connection will surface. The way a person communicates (and is received) can be a lot more alluring then what they are communicating.
I guess what I mean is, at the core of every individual is something that makes them tick, beyond the social limitations which they are subjected to. That's where I like to believe MBTI comes in (or astrology, or enneagrams, or SLOAN, whatever floats your boat really). Now, I have to admit that my knowledge on MBTI is fairly limited, I'm not familiar with the different archetypes but thats the reason I started this thread. I'm assuming a lot of you are more informed on it then I am so what I'd be interested in hearing, is the different theories on MBTI compatibility. Whats up and whats not.
Of course, if you believe that there is no truth to be found in it, so be it. Each to their own  |

It doesnt really matter, this is all theoretically speaking. Its just interesting to know, regardless of the practical applications. |

closer approximations to Truth are possible, but grasping absolute Truth is not. you are nice to look at now regardless.
i look and see in passing
- i will put up a recent pic of myself once again for perhaps one day's time -
God forbid i get bored of this site
it will give some of the noobs a sense of what....

what exactly is that supposed to mean?
Everything stems from a theory, does it not? Theoretically you can get stomach ulcers from having heliobacter pylori bacteria in your mouth which by the way, is normally part of the plaque on your teeth. Does that mean you will indefinitely get ulcers? no, but the information is still relevant to know in the event you are predisposed for them.
It is much like the question I'm asking. Is it going to be relevant for everyone? No, but i think it may be worth it to know. Considering these tests have been researched and are scientifically based, there has to be some truth in them. |

there is some truth to them. it is not exact. science tries to be exact and still isn't. that is the nature of things. science is at best a method/a way and not an end in itself.
theories are attempts to describe things. things do not exist to fit into theories. all is unique and yet connected...and should makes sense somehow. all will never be known either (that seems quite reasonable to state).
beauty speaks for itself. you don't have to say anything. it is self-evident for those with eyes to see.

Its true that science will never be exact but does that mean it should be abandoned because it's accuracy isnt 100%? Technology and all its advances (medical and otherwise) would not be what they are today if that outlook had been supported. An open mind works wonders, ya know. |
