But otherwise... eh. LSEs, LSIs, LIIs, EIIs... logical types and rationals mostly. But like I said, what you consider "adherence to the truth" is more type related than adhering to the truth. I mean, IEIs are probably the least likely to be this way (at least as I think you mean), but we're also very likely to adhere to what we consider "the truth"---it's just an overarching sort of metaphysical Truth rather than the individual things that happens, which, I will confess, I can sort of play with. On the other hand, I was extremely honest as a child and still have trouble outright lying.
Not a rule, just a trend.
IEI. Probably Fe subtype. Pretty sure I'm E4, sexual instinctual type, fairly confident that I'm a 3 wing now, so: IEI-Fe E4w3 sx/so. Considering 3w4 now, but pretty sure that 4 fits the best.
Yes 'a ma'am that's pretty music...
I am grateful for the mystery of the soul, because without it, there could be no contemplation, except of the mysteries of divinity, which are far more dangerous to get wrong.
I don't think it's type related. People lie, it's evolutionarily advantageous to lie or fib when you need to. If you saw a person who was completely straight-forward about everything they thought, no exceptions, you'd have someone with something like asperger's.

I twist the facts to fit my purpose as long as it's impossible to get caught for doing so. In 90% of cases I can think of ways of getting caught so I tell the truth most of the time.

^ Depends on particulars. Let's be realistic, no two people's beliefs match precisely on every single matter unless they've been seriously brainwashed, but many are close enough. I'm sure agnostic and atheist could get along splendidly without ever seriously clashing over it, for example. Or modern-western-tolerant-pseudo-buddhist with agnostic, etc. Most religions, however, put serious restrictions on many matters, especially in marriage (ranging everywhere from raising children to intimacy), and only one person's adherence to them can pretty much kill it for their partner.
Why do you insist and ILI? Why not SEE?

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

No. Because another man's greater truth is another man's greater lie. Figure it out ;P.
Of course it is type related. Truth is clearly athing. Where Alphas and Betas prefer to tell the truth Gammas and Deltas avoid it to get along with people which is
related.
At any time one speaks a true statement one could instead have made some pragmatic lie that better furthered ones aims than honesty did.

I definitely can see an argument that this is a type related issue. It would certainly explain why my ILI friend believes it is lying to tell a job interviewer that he has had a bit more experience than he actually does, and refuses to do so.
And is still unemployed with no prospects because he emphasizes his lack of experience on his cover letter in the spirit of full disclosure, but that's another issue for another thread.

Actually, I witnessed this sort of thing, to the point of considering even purposefully imprecise statements "lies", in Delta rationals, even though it seems unwise to me at times. So maybe it's not *that* type related.
Yet another typing for me? That makes it seven. Including all four dichotomies, quadras and temperaments.
And of course you're wrong, because truth is clearly not a Ti thing.Of course it is type related. Truth is clearly a
So what types (iyo) are the most/least prone to do this?
“Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.”
Yeah... it relates to being a robot or a computer. Honestly I don't think that any human beings are *incapable* of not telling the truth in such a rigid way. That sounds more like a rigid unattainable ideal more than anything. You might even subconsciously twist the facts and you may not even know it.
I am incapable of telling a direct lie. I might lie about something like, "No, I am not eating a banana. I am calling for reinforcements against the alien invasion." I might also evade the question.
Well of course I didn't mean it like that. By incapable I meant not being comfortable and ready to spontaneously do it, and on purpose. As in not being naturally predisposed. And I'm not talking about subconsciously twisting the facts, but consciously twisting them for your own interest.

Well I don't know, I think it's got more to do with a certain kind of a person who likes to keep a certain kind of integrity, for whatever the reason. Maybe he/she's autistic?
Maybe the most "serious" person I've met who never messed around was an LII... even though he was generally mild and soft.
And it's definitely NOT EIIs, because my EII brother lies and "mess around" all the time. I can't really think of a Socionics type who likes to keep a certain kind of integrity other than the LIIs... But even then, that could just be an idealization.
Like the ILI, I've been known to be like this. I even stated right in my cover letter a couple of times that I lacked direct experience in a certain area, but was able to learn the necessary skills quickly. Of course, those applications never made it to the interview stage and I quickly learned that I needed a new strategy.
I still refuse to be dishonest, but I no longer highlight my lack of experience when applying for a job. If I'm weak or inexperienced in an area, I just don't mention about it on my cover letter or resume. I don't mention it in an interview either unless I'm explictly asked about it.
I would never say I have more experience than I actually did. I remember in one interview for an office job, I was asked about my office experience. While I didn't have any 'official' work experience in an office setting, I mentioned about skills I obtained from other work experiences that would apply well to an office setting. Such as being able to type quickly and accurately, my skills with word processing and using spreadsheets, etc.
