I certainly plan on sticking around. Do I know the types of my family, friends? Doubtful. I get definite vibes but I haven't been in Socionics long enough to to confidently attach IM elements tto particular vibes. So the mental "people files" in my head are pretty much a list of possibles and definitely-nots; the type for my best friend has flickered between LSI, LSE, SLI, LIE, and less frequently ESI, but it keeps drifting back to LSI every time. The problem is just that he seems too go-with-the-flow at times to be a rational, yet he's not really a huge sensory-seeker like SLI. He does, however, get very distracted by things in the environment. TV on? He's gone. I talk to him about Socionics constantly, speculating on whether a certain behavior he observed in someone could be related to Te or Ni, Ne or Ti, and how if this, then the core motive was that, and if I could just get a fix on it, then certain things could reliably be predicted on a short-to-long term basis. I notice he's looking off, so I say, "What are you thinking?" And he says, "It's so sad." I'm like, "What the heck?" and he's like, "That milk pie. it's just been sitting in your fridge, allll this time... waiting to be eaten... "
He knows more about my kitchen even than my cousins, I'm sure. i just knoww there might or might not be Ravioli in the pantry. ::chuckle::
