Question #1202688549Monday, 11-Feb-2008
Category: Visual Identification Theory
How much weight can visual identification (looking at the face, facial expressions, mannerisms) have when determining someone's type? Is there such a thing as two people of the same type that visually identify as completely different from each other. -- curious

A1 Check out the section on V.I. (on this website) for your answer, there's an article about facial similarities and how socionists type people using V.I. From what I understand, V.I. is a very reliable tool *when used correctly*. Who decides it's being used correctly and who knows how to use it correctly are two very good questions, in light of the fact that Socionics is a much more prominent field of study in eastern Europe than anywhere else. And it sounds like socionists still disagree on V.I. in some cases, so like anything, it's not foolproof. -- Anonymous
A2 I'm getting better at spotting certain types, although some I suck at. Although the words to explain the choice I make elude me, even for one type in particular I can *usually* spot -- Anonymous
