there is no explicit relationship between the functions and behavior in socionics. the methodological behaviorists are anti-information processing. if you say functions are merely observable behaviors, then socionics has nothing to offer as it lacks the rigor and method of the behaviorists that came before. reducing the functions to a taxonomy of behavior does not correspond to actual research done by behaviorists; the behaviorist research does not correlate with socionics.

and reducing the functions to observable thoughts/feelings doesn't work either, so don't try.
