    Si-ESTj. E8 sounds reasonable.

    Are you going to fuck him?

    You sounded rather enthralled.

    My impression is LSE. This is a superficial one though, of course, based on the limited information.

    SLE.

    What do you mean too energetic for an SLE? SLEs can be energetic.

    However, I am in love with the house, and the only problem I see, is having that guy as a neighbor. If he's so damn energetic all the time, I'll go bananas. I need to be left in peace. I guess I can handle a macho SLE, but how do I tell a macho LSE to fuck off without offending him?
    I very think he's an SLE.

    Well, first, I wouldn't buy the house next door

    But other than that, I don't think there's enough there to be definitive either way. My SLE ex-boss was superficially similar in many aspects (gorgeous house, entrepreneur, sleeps at the office, insane energy level), but your guy sounds scary.

    (How do you know he's status-oriented? Just b/c he has a nice house and puts away his garden tools? Maybe he loves creating beauty... as all the Se-ego designers I know)

    I think he's nuts, but LSE seems like a better guess. I wish I had more information though. Sensor, extroverted, rational and Te ego is what I got. Nothing you wrote suggests Se ego, and some things might suggest Ti but one can't be sure.

    Off the record, I like niff's characterization of the SLE's temperament: "simultaneously lazy and energetic."

If something is wrong, they will waste no time in making it clear. Even Se leading types can be indirect on some points...believe me...even when it is important.

    edit: And yes, I have often found ESEs quite likeable in the beginning and me wanting to get on their good-side and vice-versa only to be met with some incredible awkwardness along the way. Just doing the most basic things is really uncomfortable despite everyone trying hard to act happy and normal.
    I agree. I think Beta in general has a bit more of that undertone/subliminal communication. More emphasis on non-verbal expression and experiencing the emotional tone. The dynamic exchange of vibes. Less need to communicate in a verbally accurate way. And therefore less need to state things so matter-of-factly and directly. Probably related to Fe valuing vs. Te valuing.

    Just for the record, I'm changing my answer to LSE just for the heck of it.

She bragged to everyone what an independent child she has.

    My LSE father... is a workaholic, basically sleeps in his office, looks really young for his age (b/c macho vanity,) and keeps his yard meticulously...

    What you wrote could be almost a word-for-word description of my Dad...

    So maybe that's it

    I wouldn't brag about it, but it is remarkable you were independent enough to keep your head and just do what had to be done.

    I can think of grown adults who lack the constitution to behave like this.

    No not for the heck of it. I just said that for flair.

    I changed my opinion, or more like decided upon either one, because of some new bit of information I overlooked. It's completely arbitrary to you though. It's like if I were to tell you x = cheese.

    1) a lot of people don't like him as a boss in the place he works Unless the types of the other employees are known, this is meaningless
    2) his house and garden looks PERFECT - he seems to be status-oriented and order-oriented (he owns one of the nicest properties in the best street in town) Suggests rationality, but SLE is not impossible; I'd be more inclined to argue for LSI than anything, since "status" and "order" sound a lot like Ti valuing
    3) he works hard - at times he sleeps in his office! he's a director, even if he doesn't have a lot of education, only experience! That's rare (here) Not applicable to type
    4) he had a military career when younger Not applicable to type
    5) his wife seemed very boring, didn't speak, and didn't talk to her husband, but I think the guy is very dominant (E8 for sure), so she could be any type gone down because of her macho husband... Meaningless
    6) he looks ... muscular... He's about 50 years old, but looks 35. Extremely well-trained, a bit too much.. Suggests that he is probably a sensor
    7) his sons were playing in the garden, and he had bought them electric scooters that they were driving really fast around without helmets. The youngest kid was only 4, and I found it irresponsible, but he seemed to be proud of how "though" the kids were Just a liberal individual
    8) when we met, he started talking with my husband whom he's met before. I was the one to reach out my hand to say hello, as he didn't know me, and then we talked a bit. I had no problems talking with him, and he seemed to respond well to my way of communicating, but we said more or less only 3 phrases, so it's hard to say if that means anything. You're right there, haha
    9) macho, macho, macho man-meat.... quite physical also in the way he worked in the garden. Energetic. Almost too energetic for an SLE, but then agian, he was not an average guy. Would naturally point towards EJ temperament, although, again, I don't think SLE is impossible based on this
    10) the old neighbor said "he's a good neighbor in that you don't have to worry about him going behind your back. If he doesn't like what you're doing, he'll be at your doorstep immediately to tell you to "fucking stop" whatever it is he dislikes. Sounds very SLE

    hmm.... He seems to be OK, compared to the neighbors I have now, but I'm a bit afraid he'll not let us have our privacy, as he was so damn ... hyper and talkative. I'd go nuts if he'd hang over the fence to TALK all the time, if I was taking sun and reading. His wife was a shadow, though, so I doubt she'll be a problem, and the kids were ... spoiled, but kind of cute. a) talk to her about him. She might have some brilliant insights into his character, allowing you to type him more easily, b) hyperactivity and talkativity might be linked to any type, although most would say Extrovert > Introvert, and probably EJ > EP

    So yeah, you made a pretty decent effort in trying to describe him. But it's basically quite inconclusive. He seems to have the energy of an EJ type, but everything else about him could be either SLE or LSE (athleticism, upfrontness, machismo etc.). More info is needed I think.

    Ezra cannot accurately type, even on occassions when mountains of evidence are readily available. I wouldn't take his opinions on anything too seriously.

    Clearly LSE.

    I have a tip for you. Don't talk about your private life, or he won't stop asking the most ridiculous embarrasing details and also tell you how to run your life. Also don't discuss anything slightly intellectual, they are shortsighted, will always disagree, and don't let you talk.

    Not really.

    Gilly's point is completely accurate, so I don't see how it would be remotely funny.
