I cannot do that because, in my opinion, in most of people, DCNH subtype is changeable. Therefore making absolute DCNH categorization of all people quite futile. Of course, you can categorize them once and for all in an absolute way, by spliting DCNH continuum into two, perhaps 50-50, categories. However, given that people are (so it seems) normaly distributed on DCNH dichotomy continuums it often makes the task futile(EDIT: 02/06/2010 - or not). DCNH relativity level is just repulsing. Only place where it's proper is the place where all relativity is proper => regarding relations between objects.You can easily prove that! Just tell me the DCNH type of 10 celebrities where it doesn't fit...

I don't try to standardize V.I. of the 16 main types. I just try to standadize V.I. of DCNH types.
If you think my observations are wrong - tell us the DCNH types of 10 celebrities where it doesn't fit!
We don't need to lead the same discussion in two threads...
People of different types look different. That's why V.I. is possible (besides facial expressions and body language).
People of the same type but different subtype will look different, too. If that wasn't the case we shouldn't use the term subtype.
If DCNH is right different DCNH types will look different.
You presume subtype implies it's unchangeable *and* outwardly visible.
Authors of the theory don't. They allow for the possibility of subtype change.
It is well-known to all that the structure of the psyche is mobile. How to correlate this truth about the dynamics of personality with respect to the fixedness of a sociotype through the stretches of time? There are, thus far, no sufficiently valid answers to this regular question in the existing socionics literature, but within the framework of our theory it is possible to answer it as follows. Subtype is capable of evolving. It is a semi-rigid formation, which can change under spontaneous environmental effects or through goal-directed training. The rate of change is small however: for the explicit change of subtype many years are necessary. Apparently if this does occur, then not more than 1-2x times during a person’s life.
Change, in essence, originates from and revolves around the scale “Ignoring-Connecting”. If you, investigating the psychological type of an individual, reveal that this scale is not determined, this means that man is in an intermediate state. But if a similar state according to one reason or another remains for a long time, then appears the fifth subtype – transitional. We will designate it 0.
You probably noticed that the DCNH system described in this article from 1995 is not the same as the DCNH system Gulenko describes in an article from 2006 (D and H are switched). Gulenko might be wrong with his idea of changing subtype, too...
Just type enough people and you will see...
Next example: ESE.
I apologize for using german politicians and Formula 1 drivers again but it's hard to find American examples I'm sure of....
D-ESE (round face): Juan-Pablo Montoya (Formula 1, Nascar)
C-ESE (oval face): Gerhard Schröder (former German Chancellor)
N-ESE (rectangular face): David Coulthard (Formula 1)
H-ESE (square face): Rubens Barrichello (Formula 1)
ACTUALLY it might be that subtype can change along with changes in facial structure. why not? ppl's faces often do change as they get older.people's strength in lower numbered functions also tend to grow stronger with age. the two phenomena could be interrelated. changes in facial structure may be indicators and products of changes in the body and brain. it's not a large leap of logic. it's definitely plausible. if someone smiles more and more often over the course of a few years as a result of life changes and changes in mood, that is going to strengthen and muscularize their jaw bone, and create 'smile lines'. if someone moves into a new job that requires them to be alert to and concentrate on small visual details (air traffic control for instance), over time, the muscles around their eyes, and the contours around the eye will change slightly as a product of adaptation. if one has a job that requires analysis of large amounts of complex data, they may take on a furrowed brow look over the years....feedback and feedforward processes may account for the underlying neurophysiological mechanism.
why exactly strengthening of functions causes roundness/squareness/ovalness/rectangularness is hard to say, but don't dismiss the pattern just because there doesn't seem to be a logical or clear reason for it. that doesn't mean a reason does not exist.
this seems absolutely crazy to me (although my husband's face does look the most like the D-ESE example in this thread).
IEI-Fe 4w3
In other words, a person who has been developing his or her superego function can look like his or her superego, and can even attract peeps from conflicting quadras.

Another person who thinks Bill Gates is an LIE. Thank you for existing.
Is it the boy from The Sixth Sense? I know neither his name nor his type but if you mean his facial structure changed - it looks oval and oval to me. Adults have broader faces than children, of course...
Can't seem to pinpoint my subtype, whether I'm creative or harmonizing.
I know for a fact that I'm initiating - clearly expressed irrationality, no doubt in my mind... but I'm unsure about the degree of extraversion/introversion and (especially) connecting/ignoring.
I can't do it in accepting/producing subtype form either... Wikisocion seems to be a little vague to me, since I can identify fairly well with both - or think I do, anyway.
What is the observable disparity between them? What kind of situations would they act differently in, and what exactly would they do differently?
I'm an SLI, 9w8-5w6-2w3 sx/sp, by the way.
Determining your subtype is only reliable if you already know enough people of your own main type. If you know 5 SLIs for sure you can compare them, determine their subtypes and determine your own subtype.
If you are the only SLI you know for sure subtyping is a rather pointless exercise.
If you are not even sure of your main type - don't think about subtypes.
You could post some pictures so that we can verify your typing...
do you have more of a square jaw or a sesame seed shaped jaw?
going by JohnDo's VI method...
square jaw*/ square face =creative
sesame seed jaw/ oval face =harmonizing
*rectangular faces can also have square jaws, but of course they have longer faces

No, that's wrong. My method is a bit more complicated. It's not really a method but rather a discovery btw....
base - round
creative - square
demonstrative -oval
ignoring - rectangular
A C-LII has a square face, a H-LII an oval face. But that's only for Ixxj!
His self-typing is ISTp.
base function: --- harmonizing subtype --- round face
creative function: --- dominant subtype --- square face
demonstrative function: --- normalizing subtype --- oval face
ignoring function: --- creative subtype --- rectangular face
I have a friend who's an ISTp.
Compare? When you say it like that, I have noticed that he's more contained than I am. I'm the one who likes speculating and joking around and what not, and he's usually the one who just listens and laughs at what people say (when he's not drunk or high, anyway...)
I guess this points more toward creative subtype for me.
I posted some pictures a while back but deleted them, too lazy right now to post them again.
Going by your system, I would be a creative or normalizing subtype, and my friend would be of a harmonizing subtype.
How have you come to these conclusions, though?
I'm more than a little skeptical, in all honesty, but I'm no expert.
Aiss is of the opinion that I never explained what I mean by a "roundish" or a "longish" face e.g.
Here are some pictures of persons who where typed by Ekaterina Filatova. I'll subtype them by their facial structure to illustrate what I mean when I'm talking about a "rectangular face" or something like that. See Visual Identification of Subtypes.
Sooner or later this approach might help to find doppelgängers more easily. The problem is that one picture is not in all cases enough because the facial structure can be difficult to determine sometimes. So yes, I probably will make some mistakes but with more pictures it would be reliable. I'll start with roundish/longish...

Whether your system logically makes sense or not, I'd really like to take a stab at "DCNH-VI-ing" the people around me; but if I have to go through the filter of "because JohnDo says...", it might take a while.
Clearly a roundish face, not much longer than broad:
Clearly a longish face, much longer than broad:
Hard to tell from this perspective:
