I see around here that Tiger woods has been typed INFj and his wife typed ESTj if that is correct then this of course makes them duals. I think in the past couple of weeks it has been revealed that he is cheating on her big time and she took to beating him with a golf club allegedly.

I know theoretically that duality does go wrong but I grew up around my dual and I cannot imagine that if my partner was my dual I would have reason to cheat and have our lives descend into scandal like that...not that I think there is ever really a good reason to cheat. Tiger Woods just looks to be suffering from marital boredom and his wife does not seem excited about him either. I have never seen duality go quite so wrong as in this case and I do not think I quite understand it. Have any of you seen duality go this bad? When and how does duality escalate into cheating and beating to such a big scale? I find the whole thing a bit interesting from a socionics perspective.

yeah i was wondering about this as well.

No.

Seriously, enough of this naivety. People are all different, and even if they have the most suitable psychological conjunction, they may still hate each other. Obviously.

Like I've mentioned before, Socionics is only one dimension of relationship compatibility. There's a plethora of other factors to consider such as the background, culture, values, character, age, intelligence, physical attractiveness, and mental health of the persons involved. In short, not all duals are created equal.

I do think duality relationships are far less prone to infidelity than other relationships. I'd also conjecture that duality relationships may be more likely to endure if an act of infidelity does occur. It will be interesting to see if Tiger and Elin's marriage survives this.

I remember I initially typed Tiger Woods as Fi-ISFj. I haven't looked at him in awhile. So that might be a possibility too.

Why may I ask are you are thinking he is Fi ego?

The more I see him the more I am seeing some kind of INTj. I now actually strongly think his wife is an ISFj though I am sure Ashton would disagree. I think they are super ego partners, they match my experience of super-ego partners very much. I get the 'feeling' looking at them that they like the idea of each other but not actually the reality of each other. I going to be mean here an say that if I was her husband I would probably be tempted to cheat too, she looks boring as hell and she mostly seems to dress in a very dull kind of unflattering way except when she is in a swimsuit. Still it is not her fault that he is such an ass who does not seem to care about his penis dripping smelly green mucus and growing ganrene judging by the women he cheated on her with.

There's a thin line between love and hate.

I think we are attracted to people who both inflict pain on us, and then relieve it. And some duals just lean more on the 'inflicting pain' aspect. Most relationships are a blend of conflict and resolution, that's what keeps them interesting. And it helps explain the difference between feelings of romance, and friendship.

And you can think of this in a lot of different perspectives too. You wouldn't really have a romantic relationship with a dual from another country, who didn't speak a language you were unfamiliar with, and was smelly- and also wasn't physically attractive to you. And also, duals have to share your same values, just pleasing each other in the raw functions really isn't enough at all. A dual can also be generally unhealthy and possibly suffering from a mental disorder.

Socionics is an aspect of reality, a fact of nature- and a very interesting one, but it's interwoven with all other aspects of reality.

I think he's ISFp-Si.
