I've always thought I was IEI, but after some thinking I might actually be an ILI but still not quite sure, any ideas?you can see my pic by clicking on my name, I greatly appreciate the help
IEI or ILI?
I've always thought I was IEI, but after some thinking I might actually be an ILI but still not quite sure, any ideas?
i cannot see your picture.
The end is nigh
You should be able to see it now. If you need info. let me know
They will distrust and dislike bossy people, and will avoid people who will assign them routine work like chores. They will even avoid their friends and family when they expect that they will be assigned such work, and do not enjoy fulfilling daily chores. I can relate to this
If IEIs prefer, they can also generate and communicate their feelings of sadness and loss. They are adept at communicating depth of feeling. This sounds like me
An ILI may demonstrate perfectionistic tendencies most conspicuously in such situations where they can work out the details in their head or on paper. this sounds like me too
Sometimes ILIs perceive the real-world occurrences around them, such as the daily tedium of work or school, through the lens created to understand the information that they care about most, although they may choose not to share this perception with others. They often have little to contribute in many social situations, but when the topic of their interest comes around they may tend to be the center of attention, disseminating the information of their expertise. this is me in a nutshell
The ILIs I know are like repositories of information. They have all kinds of facts and figures memorized, and it's all useful, but not very interesting to me. Numbers and statistics kinda bore me. I knew one IEI who knew a lot, and it was all interesting, but not very useful.

so it basically comes down to if I'm full of useless info. or not? that's hilarious
lol it's just something I noticed, don't use it to determine your type

well I'm just as lost as I ever was haha
What you need to be focusing on, primarily, are two IM elements (functions) and how you relate to them. Extroverted Ethics, Fe,- vs. - Extroverted Logic, Te,
.
In IEIs
For ILI, these two functions are in the exact opposite location relative to IEI. So
can you give any examples of how these two functions would manifest themselves? As far as if they are your creative function or place of least resistance?
Yeah, how about we see some examples of this, huh.
you are in between, just leave it at that.
How do other people describe you...?
ever been told to be to businesslike?
ever been told that you are like an encyclopedia?
ever been told that you are a drama queen?
Thanks for the reply. I guess going by what you posted, I would be ILI. I think that growing up with my grandparents, they expected me to act like a girl: prim and proper, always happy and stuff like that. I think society can make you act like someone you are not.
hm, I just realized I don't know any female ILIs.

Sorry toots, but you alone do not get to determine what is "useful" and what is not, and also hello! Talk about general.I knew one IEI who knew a lot, and it was all interesting, but not very useful.
I love being on this forum for the sheer joy of correcting everybody's thinking errors.
The truth is, every piece of information is relevant because it is all connected with each other, any new piece of knowledge = information, anything has the potential to help (or harm) somebody out and be connected with something else. The reason why most criminals get away with their crimes is because they understand this all too well.
For example, have you ever had somebody say something to you that you shrugged off as 'useless' but then a unique circumstance popped up in real life, and then you found it to be useful? There is no such thing as 'useless' information. Of course ideally you would never think it's useful until you get into a situation where the information actually is useful. But that's the difference between thinking and living IMO. If it wasn't useful, it wouldn't exist, it would be sucked up in a negative black hole vortex like anything else that is a true anomaly.
I agree with you, a persons idea of useful information differs on just that. Someone might think your idea is useless for a number of reason. For example, if you throw something at a person who is sensory driven they might find that what you say is useless. My mom, a sensor, talks about different types of plants all the time. I have no use for her knowledge, but it is knowledge none the less.
I don't know any IRL life either, but this girl has become my benchmark one (ILI-Ni)Originally Posted by fear of sleep
Hah. She's definitely Ni. She reminds me of my sister though in the judging aspect, more than me. She is an EIE, and for the video girl I'd lean towards Ni-IEI. I see more of an Ni/Fe/Ti focus, but her Ni lifestyle and focus is just like mine. The only major difference is I come out J in MBTI.
Just for perspective's sake, why do you think she's ILI?
I'll answer your question with another question; If you decided to type her as anything else other than ILI or IEI, which one would you type her as, out of these two options; LII or EII?
LII. But these are really bad choices.
Crap, you should have said EII :/
Perhaps you are right and she is IEI. What is your attitude towards her? Can you follow her train of thought easily (watch other videos if you need to)?
Could you expound a little?I don't see a real value for Fi in her
Duuuuude I'm an LII--I live to eliminate superfluous knowledge. That said, I differentiate between useful knowledge, interesting knowledge, and excess/useless knowledge. If it's useful, that means you can use it to accomplish something, like when you learned to write or type. If it's interesting, but not useful, that doesn't mean it's useless, that just means you don't know what to do with it--yet, like if someone told you the altitude at which a nuclear bomb detonation produces the greatest EMP (10,000 feet). If it's interesting, that means it can provide interest, but that alone doesn't make it useful. Useless/excess knowledge is just more information than you need to understand something, like saying 2 + (2 - 2) = 2 you don't need the (2 - 2) in there because it doesn't contribute anything.
So yes, I reject your useful/useless dichotomy and jam a 3rd category in there: interesting, but not very useful.

Well now I'm really confused because I have another thread going and someone says that I may be
As for my innermost emotions, I don't feel very connected to them, like I'm almost indifferent to most things, very aloof.
i guess what we can determine is i am typeless
Well, too be honest I am quite shallow with the expressions of my emotions. For instance, I will get upset and angry if something doesn't go my way. But when it comes to deeper emotional stuff that really gets to my core, I have difficulty expressing that because I feel like perhaps others won't understand and therefore shrug off something that is very meaningful to me. I don't have strong likes/dislikes, I'm not the type of person that sees things in only black and white. I can be for abortion or against it depending on circumstances for example.
The one thing that tells me my logic is weak though was when I recently started working in an insurance co. we had a lot of info. thrown at us at once and I felt like I was choking on it. My memory wasn't as quick as the other people in my class and their were just certain things I couldn't grasp so I ended up leaving.
-[B] Can you pick up subtle nuances in a conversation? eg. if you're listening to two people talk, can you tell if they secretly hate each other? Can you feel that horrible moment when someone says the wrong thing? Or do you tend to be oblivious to that?
I do this all the time, very good at it actually.
The other part of her question in regards to if I can make people feel sorry for me if something is going wrong in my life; I would say no, I'm not good at receiving pity from others.
I'm usually energized in the morning, but as far as energy throughout the day it is hard for me to answer that question because I have depression so that obviously gets in the way of many things. When I'm not depressed I talk easily with anyone, but since I am depressed most of the time this inhibits my abilities to do much of anything.
ooh my god she reminds me so much of niff.
oh wait... imagining the sea?... hm... i spoke too fast.
but mostly yes-- niff.
"If you can find out little melodies for yourself on the piano it is all very well. But if they come of themselves when you are not at the piano, then you have still greater reason to rejoice; for then the inner sense of music is astir in you. The fingers must make what the head wills, not vice versa."- Robert Schumann

this is funny....you're revealing your values jarno. Fe=drama queen? IEI doesn't come across like a drama queen...they like to lift people up and give them hope, calm them down.
