Reverting to ILE

[Brilliand]

I have once again decided that I am ILE. My reasoning:

• Most of my behavior, on this forum at least, and also RL (though it isn't quite as obvious), is due to seeing other perspectives. I do it perpetually... this is base Ne, not merely creative Ne.
• Ti is something I find cool, strive to do well, and succeed at. This is a description of the creative function, not the base function.

I typed myself LII by picking out Ti as my identity, however now I see that that was my identity because it was what I loved about myself, not because it was what I couldn't stop doing.

Scrapped.

At least now I can make first contact, and my dual won't reject me for being an extrovert.

Strange. I never really doubted you were an identical. You do tend to lock your ideas firmly down. We'll see how long this self-typing lasts.

[Brilliand]

since you started a thread: Brilliand, have you ever considered ENTj?

I have never considered that plausible.

[DirectorAbbie]

I still think you're an LII. I think you're a rational, and there's no way you're an extrovert.

[Creepy-male]

Delta childhoods do that to people, Abbie

[Brilliand]

Hmm, perhaps I misperceived myself. Reverting again.

Seeing things from so many sides that I can't draw a conclusion actually bothers me, and I'm more willing to be depended on for Ti than for Ne.

Accepting Ti is an Empowering Static function, like Accepting Ne. It also has a connotation of multiplicity of viewpoints and a sense of "could be anything". It's linked to cartesian doubt and rejection of answers that don't have a solid understanding to back them up. IMO, this is what you have been experiencing. It's perfectly normal for an INTj.

labcoat I think it would be interesting if you ever got round to making a list of the types you see forum members as.

+1

But he'd type me as ILE, I know it :wink:

information elements aren't suited for selftyping. Just look at the dichotomy introvert/extravert.

If that is a problem too, then compare yourself to other introverts and extraverts that you know.

Uh... if they don't exist in my head, where only I can really see them (at least as they apply to me), where do they exist?

As a general policy I don't doubt peoples' self-typings. I only become sceptical when they change theirs at least once. This should tell you enough.

I have no business telling people what they are on the basis of what little information transfers over the internet when they can use all of the information gathered during a lifetime to figure it out for themselves.

I'm not strongly settled on that typing. It's only the one that I'd gamble at.

[FDG]

I am not really in agreement with this change. INTj seemed more appropriate; at the very least, analytical abilities seemed to be your strongest suit. But, if you're sure of it, of course you should change.

[Warlord]

I'm more convinced with the TiNe in your case Brilliand.

I think you should consider gamma NT, brilliand.

[calenwen]

I know I'm not in a position to pass judgment on your type, but you always seemed like a solid LII to me and your behavior seems to correlate with the other LIIs on the forum (along with several I know irl) much better than it does with the ILEs.

[Brilliand]

I think you should consider gamma NT, brilliand.

Why?

I've considered ILI, but I think I like too much for that. As for ENTj, I can't see myself as an EJ anything - either ignoring or DS.

Well it has been said many times that you cannot see your leading function very well, since it's too ordinary.

[ArchonAlarion]

It is so obvious Brill is an Alpha NT I cant even fathom why people would suggest Gamma NT.

Brilliand is Ne INTj and I'm glad he retyped himself back to it.
