Do you have the easiest time identifying your identicals?

[The Exception]

Compared to other types do you find it easier or harder to spot your identicals? Or do you not find it any easier or harder compared to other types?

I seem to have an easier time identifying identicals compared to most other types. I easily notice when someone has thought or speech patterns or mannerisms eerily similar to my own. That person is likely to be my identical. If they aren't similar to me in these regards, then they are probably not my identical but I still have 15 more types to sort through.

I have a harder time identifying my dual compared to other types. There's a lot of people I have high confidence that they are ESFx, but its harder for me to determine if they are ESFj or ESFp for some reason. It's important too because the former is my dual and the latter is my conflictor.

I have an easy time identifying LSEs, EIIs, EIEs, SLEs, SEEs, ESEs, and LIIs.

I have a difficult time identifying ESIs.

I'd have thought it would be the other way around, maybe.

While we may perceive people as being really similar/dissimilar to ourselves, we're the only ones that can't literally see ourselves.

If we're ID-ing by external looks/patterns/mannerisms, finding someone "identical" to ourselves might be kinda tricky.

There was this one guy who was sitting at a table across fro mine at a restaurant. I couldn't stop looking over at him because the way he moved and acted was eerily similar to the way I do and he kinda looked like me too. I never got a chance to interact with him, but it was really strange. I cant even describe it.

more on topic.. I've only identified one possible LIE. So.. yeah. Actually now that Ithink about it one of professors is probably LIE as well. Idk that I have a hard time identifying them, I just don't find them very often.

[DirectorAbbie]

I just don't find them very often.

I don't find LIEs very often, either.

I've worked alongside a few identicals. I was able to recognize our similarities instantly. But after just a few interactions, especially in the case of one in particular, we seemed to develop a huge sense of competition between us. We both would make similar comments, dressed uncannily alike..it was annoying after a while and though we both felt comfortable sharing our outlooks on life to eachother..I always felt she would stab me in the back given the chance and vice versa. Sad, but I never trust my identicals with tmi....ha, wonder what that says about me...shit.

The hardest for me to spot are IEEs.

[jewels]

ya, there are always IEEs around. I recognize them easily. Usually I don't feel competition. Instead I feel a sort of "I get what you're doing and why" feeling.

However, all IEEs are different. Some really annoy me. Others are awesome!

I see them on TV shows a lot also. Especially on those shows where people are looking to buy a home. It's usually either ESTps or ENFps on those shows looking to buy a home.

Many of my clients are also ENFps, which I like because I know what they need.

My identicals and kindred tend to be the types that leap out at me the fastest.

Easy: SEE, ESE, EII

Difficult: all NT types, ESI

also people in my own quadra because i have little experience with them. aside from one IEI, my French teacher. i only stayed in that class all 4 years of high school for her, she was absolutely the best teacher i ever had. if i become a teacher, she's my inspiration.

sometimes IEEs can be difficult but sometimes they're very easy, Ne subtypes are easier for me to realize their types.

[ashlesha]

its weird with my identicals, i see the similarities right away but i end up comparing them to myself too much and getting confused when i see too many differences. i guess that means i probably over-identify with my type or something.

ESE is probably the type that jumps out at me the most quickly. i seem to have a blind spot with gamma NTs, i've typed one ILI (and a "maybe LIE"), ever.

[1981slater]

IMO, identicals are easy to spot, specially after chatting a little bit with them.

[blankblank]

I have the hardest time spotting my identicals. I think this is because, when I interact with people, I'm noticing the differences between us, not the similarities. So if I meet an identical, I won't even notice.

I mean, I knew one EII for 6 years and didn't even know they were an EII until they tested as such. -_______-

What is the dating website that you use, my dear Pipe?

[Creepy-male]

Dating site!? Oh shit, what happened to Parasite

[Trevor]

Have no trouble in IRL life. Among people from public domain I do have a rather hard time identifying them.

Imagine someone that often when you see sleeping you feel like kissing, and laughing remembering all the silly things experienced together over the previous day(s). Not that easy at all.

*puts on EIE mask*

If only you knew...

[Aleksei]

I'd say I have the easiest time identifying Beta NFs in general.

[silverchris9]

EIEs and IEIs are really easy for me. SLEs are pretty easy, as are LSIs (usually). I can spot ILIs pretty quickly, but I never see LIEs, which means I'm probably mistyping. I can make fairly accurate guesses about SEEs, although I sometimes mistake them for SLIs, I think. I'm really good with ESEs. I'm super quick about those. I'm very sensitive to Fe, even Fe ego vs. Fe HA vs. Fe demonstrative. I wouldn't necessarily say that IEIs are the very easiest, as Fe is usually easier to spot than Ni, but they're pretty easy.

The only thing that confuses me is when people get along really well despite what I see as a negative intertype relation, but then I remember that my really good friends include an SLI, an EII, and that I get along well with my I-think-IEE mom (who might be EIE. I'm too close and too biased to judge accurately. I think an impartial observer might say EIE).

Hehe, once more you put me in the situation to realize that my rudimentary needs for privacy can emerge sometimes. Well, I will tell you this on e-mail, if you message me there.

It's okay.

My attachment to Parasite is stronger than ever, so it's hard even to conceive that we could ever break-up, considering how things are evolving. Imagine someone that often when you see sleeping you feel like kissing, and laughing remembering all the silly things experienced together over the previous day(s). Not that easy at all.

I'm happy for you, Pipe.
