Category: Duality
DUALITY - what does it look like? see i've been observing people and trying to work out exactly what it does look like and is this anything like it? http://www.mjj.altervista.org/immagini/gallerie/MJ_VIP/images/MJ%20&%20Andy%20Warhol%202_jpg.jpg andy warhol is speculated to be an entp and michael jackson an isfp (from what i've read) how can you spot dualities, basically? -- thomas - entp

A1 My younger brother (ESFp) generally hates my oldest brother (ISTj), but he did mention he finds him more likable whenever he's around his friend (ENFj), his dual. My youngest brother has never heard of socionics, nor my oldest brother, yet he unconsciously spotted a dual friendship. A prime example of the positive effects of duality, the duality effect, where even a supervisee in an unhealthy relationship of supervision can notice the changes of their supervisor when their with their dual. interesting. -- Anonymous
A2 its tough. ive found that a dual pair is actually sort of rare as people tend to surround themselves with people who think similarly to them and therefore are similar type to them. -- Anonymous
A3 agree with A2. Not often duals find themselves with things in common, yet the layman thinks that things in common like identical ways of viewing the world and the same hobbies are what's important in a relationship hence the problem. -- Anonymous
A4 response to A2: Basically, you have to remember that socionics is not mainstream, so without this knowledge, people are going to make choices that suit them best. Here's a socioincs story: your waiting at a train station and start a conversation with a beautiful stranger, she happens to be your dual. Your enjoying the conversation immensely but mindful and alittle unsure if you will actually be sitting together when the train arrives. You both move harmoniously together when boarding the car and feel a surge of glee and confidence that you'll be enjoying each others company for the remainder of the ride. You take the window seat which has an empty seat next to it and just as she is about to sit down beside you for this long journey, which has so much potential and promise, she looks over her shoulder with a face of inqusition in the direction of a familiar voice calling her name. Her old co-worker is on the next car, he happens to be her quasi-identical, and with a surprised look she proceeds to the empty seat next to him. As they begin to reminisce, she is reminded she never liked him that much and can not understand why suddenly she no longer feels uplifted, and so they start that long journey that leads nowhere and with each passing moment, further and further the positivity is washed away until she is inescably and habitually stuck. The moral of the socionics story: duality can raise your moods considerably, and in turn can positively influence your behaviour with others (providing immunity to your POLR), however, prolonged interaction without your dual can diminish your moods (as your suspectibile to your POLR increases) and so making it less likely to make smart choices by raising your inhibitions. In everyday language, she met a nice guy but then her old co-worker steve called her and she excused herself and sat with him instead; not for a moment did she realise she was giving up duality for quasi-identical and this happens all the time. -- Anonymous
A5 I'm always observing people's personalities and I can't think of a single dual couple I know. Do see a lot of relations of supervision, though. -- Anonymous
A6 A4, nice response to my post. Funny you should mention the train example, there's girl I talk to - strange as have talked to her for some time and every so often I think to myself - damn, I can't actually remember her name, anyway it puzzled me at times what was going on, as she is married, but it was pleasant, enjoyable enough company, however she is not my dual but my activator, so it sort of explains it in terms of the enjoyable interaction we have, only thing is that ex-colleague distraction is sort of replaced by husband, lol. -- Anonymous

A7 whatever will be...will be. I've relived the same experience of meeting a beautiful women who I instantly hit it off with but to my dismay, of course she's already married or in a committed relationship. Here's a moral dilemma: lets say you meet your dual and their engaged to their conflictor but do not have the slightest clue about socionics, does that give you the right to interfer under the justification that your doing it in her best interest? -- Anonymous
