    Default type my friend

    I don't have any pics, but my description will be good enough. He is definitely EF - talkative, charismatic. He is very sensitive to the moods of those around him and is also aware of his own emotional state in relation to what is happening. He is very smart, but more conventional and scholastic than abstract, creative smart. He doesn't need to be the center of attention but won't turn it down. His sense of humor is perverse, not rude, but hilarious to me...most of his jokes are him acting in different ways...whether it be a gangster or a gay guy. He knows what to say to get certain reactions from people. He is very passionate. he won't stand up for himself initially because he wants to minimize conflict, but if pushed to a limit, will explode. I get the impression that what he really wants is a fun atmosphere with close friends where everyone is getting along and having a good time.

    mainly, I'm asking because I see multiple types in him.

    I see SEI in him entirely. It's like you are describing me. The sense of humor, loving to act differently, loving close relations. Everything you said points to SEI. I'm 100% sure he's SEI now that I think about it.

    You say is in his ego, and "He is very sensitive to the moods of those around him and is also aware of his own emotional state in relation to what is happening" points to in his ego.

    Therefore SEI.

    I would say ISFp too, but it's really not enough to be sure. What you're describing as "EF" is Fe.

    I guess I saw him as E because of his talkative nature....he's def. alpha, I think ESFj...he's very outgoing...not softspoken....I don;t see Si base at all.

    Based on your responses in the other thread... he can't be an ESFJ. How could he be smart if he's not an NT?

    That still does not refute ISFp. I am very outgoing/extroverted most of the time, but I need to be alone when things get too busy. Can't say I'm soft-spoken, expect when I am discussing/arguing with someone. I initiate conversation most of the time, but I shy away from interacting with people who have authority over me.

    Anyway, I see Si base.

    According to Wikisocion, types with a Si base have "a strong ability to recognise internal physical states in themselves and others, to understand how these states are reached, and to recreate and avoid these physical states."

    This fits with your assertion that "He is very sensitive to the moods of those around him and is also aware of his own emotional state in relation to what is happening."

    He could be ESFj, but I see a lot of ISFp in him too.

    Based on your responses in the other thread... he can't be an ESFJ. How could he be smart if he's not an NT?

    ah, but if you read a specific post of mine you will see I said I have a friend who is the only S I have ever considered for giftedness - I was speaking about him.

    how does being in tune with your emotional state correlate with Si? Si is your physical state. whatever.

    and you know this how? Either way, it's not bragging if it's true....I consider myself top 5 or ten in my class also, justifiably.

    here's some more info on him: he always knows what to say depending on others' moods...so he knows exactly what will make me laugh (no homo lol). He acts cocky and stuff but deep down he's a sensitive, genuine guy. He's loyal and understanding.

    I've heard that Si corresponds to your emotional state, which then affects your physical state. Like if you are depressed, your physical state will suffer also. They are connected.

    When I was 6 years of age, my level of reading was so high that my grandmother, who taught for 35 years said that she had never had seen a child read on such a level. I read everything in my house that wasn't tied down, interesting encyclopedia articles, history books, before I was 10. I was accepted into the gifted program too.

    That also describes me. I can sense moods, and say something that fits it. I can get the whole class to laugh on occasion, and my ISTj friend, who loves my jokes. I say cocky things, but that is just an extension of my jokester nature. And ask any girl who I've shared my emotions with, I'm really sensitive.

    yeah, that makes sense. if you're an ethical type.

    yeah, all his jokes aren't as much about getting attention as they are about expressing himself and having fun. I'm still having trouble seeing him as I, just because he's always so charismatic and involved in the action. he seems to thrive around people.

    that's interesting because I have a family friend who is ISFx and is highly intelligent....the stuff you mentioned matched her....she is a storehouse of facts, more into literature than math....

    Ok, I just asked my EIE friend:

    RogueMomen (7:16:37 PM): i have a question for you
    RogueMomen (7:16:43 PM): in your opinion
    RogueMomen (7:16:55 PM): Do I "thrive around people"?
    RogueMomen (7:17:16 PM): plz be honest
    RogueMomen (7:17:28 PM): it's for my forum
    ShamrockShake919 (7:19:50 PM): oh yeah
    ShamrockShake919 (7:19:53 PM): most of the time
    ShamrockShake919 (7:20:07 PM): sometimes u get in moods and its like pulling teeth to get u to talk.

    That's funny, because I never did like math, always got a steady B+ in it.

    Then Algebra and Geometry came around, and I was the best in the class.

    Now, I have a B

    he can sometimes get in moods where he's pissed, so I could see that.

    that's weird with the math - most people are good and bad at one, since they are so different. my mom, who sucks at almost all math, was really good at algebra...it's more left-brained...but also more abstract in ways.

    but I'm NT and my best attribute is my writing.....but I am not simply some poet, I am extremely hair-splitting about grammar and word usage.

    I guess a lot is genetic

    Yeah, I would probably say that too.

    So as I said, he's probably ISFp.

    If you're still unsure, mention some "new" ideas to him. If he's ESFj, he won't like them, but if he's ISFp, he'll get all excited.

    not sure I agree. they are both alpha and both value +Ne, which is all about new ideas. +Ne is the ISFp's dual and the ESFj's h.a., so how could the ESFj dislike it?

    My mistake. You're correct. I was confusing ESE with another type.

    So you are sure that he is ESFj?

    well, I've come across some SEI's and the main thing seperating him is his strong social involvement. he's loud, and I see Fe as his main function, really. there's a possibility you could be right, but I see him more as my dual than activation.

    I get you, but I just want to say that if the SEI's you've met aren't as loud as him, it does not mean he is not ISFP.

    I'm thinking that the SEI's you've met are of the Si subtype, who are more introspective. I for one am the Fe subtype, and I am loud. For example, I feel really comfortable in my English class, and I must say, I talk more than anyone in there, and there is a ENFj in there.

    I really believe that ISFp-Fe subtype are crazy, because at the end of lunch, I just w000000000000p as loud as I can.

    lol, if you're so sure he is ESFj, then he is more likely that, but I am a prime example of a loud ISFp.

    Yeah, Fe subs can be very loud. I think I might have mistyped my ISFp cousin for the same reason.

    As for your friend, does he seem like he's busy all the time, or is he constantly really jokey and frivolous?

    Yeah, I would say ISFp's are the hardest to recognize by other types, but other ISFp's pick up on it fast.

    Well I alternate between those, but I lean towards the jokey side.

    I think the key is, if he's ISFp, he's an subtype, and if he's an subtype, he has to be eccentric and kinda weird. All ISFp-Fe have this characteristic as far as I know.

    My sig proves it.

    I'm not talking about you; the first is a much more typical EJ impression. I think, with what we know now, strrrng's friend could still be either ESFj or ISFp.

    he does not seem always busy. he seems....always involved, or looking for fun or ways to be happy. this guy always looks for humor, he tries to use any jokes to liven up the mood....he loves his friends and would do anything for them....he's the kind of person you can count on. what else...um...(I'm drunk, excuse my bs syntax)...he can play the role of the observer, taking in everyone's dispositions and sorting it out, then speaking based on that, or he can be the court jester, making perverse and/or funky-ass jokes, leaving us all - especially me - with our stomachs hurting. for example, in our english class, he began teasing one of his female friends sexually. he recited the lyrics to a song called 'shut up, bitch swallow' and went on a rant about her doing weird sexual acts.....because of his completely light and goofy tone, I couldn't help myself....I was in tears by the end of it....she got kind of mad, but I know deep down he cared...he just wants to make people laugh....

    ok. ESFjs usually want to seem like they are very hardworking (Te Role). If he is constantly making random jokes and stuff like that I would say ISFp. Public sexual teasing is a much more irrational thing. Also, Fe leading types tend to be more focused in their emotions.

    yeah, I don't see a Ne hidden agenda or a Ti dual seeking, so I'll say ISFp for now.
