I AM very balanced in temperaments, just in the middle of I/E and j/p, and thus I probably won't fit the stereotypes either way. It makes me a bit unsure if I should make these posts, as stereotypes can be good to type obvious types. It's with the more balanced ones it gets difficult, and I guess that's my message.
Juju adviced me to look at intertype relations to figure out if I'm IEI or EIE, and I'm IEI, as my intertype relations make sense only if I am. I used my ILE husband, ESE mother and my ex-boyfriends (two SLEs, one LSI) in addition to more obvious IEIs to figure out. Also, I just feel a bit more comfortable with the IEIs on this forum than the EIEs, - the EIEs all seem so damn serious all the time. :wink:
The point about Si and Ni is good. Si-egos are of course naturally a lot more relaxed.
