Yes, those bottom links are descriptions made by several authors, they're *theoretically* not user-made. Should be careful about that, though.
-
SOCIONICS: Personality Types and Relationships. I've been told by the author that it's not maintained by him anymore, but this website is very good - also contains interesting links and explanations.
-
₪₪₪ Socionics - The New Psychology ₪₪₪ - contains the basics about types and relationships, and several other things like a test and articles.
-
Psychological Types - this uses classical names for the types, but if you click on them and enter the descriptions the name is written up above, in the title.
These I gave you have pretty concise descriptions. You have to read all the descriptions and cross them in your mind, to get the essential. I'm sure you can do this as an NT, just you seem a bit too impatient guy, who uses to get the job done efficiently, though bit of accuracy matters for this, but anyway, if you stumble upon your conflictor instead of your dual, you'll find this very quickly, the bad part is that this means another failure, the good part is that it can be a good lesson and the next time I suppose you won't blow it up again, at least considering the two options.
Please tell me, do you enjoy diving, sky diving, mountain climbing, swimming or anything related to adventure at your own initiative, obviously more than people you know?
Let me tell you some differences between ILE and LIE, maybe you will eventually take this other one into consideration as well:
- ILE: prefers economy, prefers to do things with the less possible resources, with as little waste as possible. LIE: likes it big, doesn't spend time thinking in small scales, mobilize everything they got when they want something;
- ILE: not much concerned about their appearance, they rather may look odd, even wearing old clothes and stuff. LIE: concerned with their appearance, although, they need usually someone with fine taste to tell them what to choose, there are some people they consult in this. They know the primary impression matters
- ILE: some of the worst planners! They don't like to plan anything in advance, but most importantly - they don't use to stick to a plan. Change their mind often. LIE: some of the best planners, if not the best. They can visualize projects start-to-end, it's easy for them to stick to their plans and get the job done.
- ILE: avoid challenge for its sake, unless they know they can do something and want to prove it. LIE: like challenges of all sorts. They like to test themselves in different situations, they are very daring in many aspects. This difference, for example, manifests when it comes to take on women: ILEs need encouraging signs to make the first steps, at least they wait some time for accommodation, to e able to notice such signs even if not obvious, while LIEs act on behalf of their interest as it comes, they don't think twice when they're sure what they want, are they able to do it or now?
Both are technically inclined, they can easily learn all sort of things like programming, etc.
