Pretty fucking weird.
I could easily see an ILI being emotional, but I don't think they'd ever show it.
What do these signs mean—, , etc.? Why cannot socionists use symbols Ne, Ni etc. as in MBTI? Just because they have somewhat different meaning. Socionics and MBTI, each in its own way, have slightly modified the original Jung's description of his 8 psychological types. For this reason, (Ne) is not exactly the same as Ne in MBTI.
Just one example: in MBTI, Se (extraverted sensing) is associated with life pleasures, excitement etc. By contrast, the socionic function (extraverted sensing) is first and foremost associated with control and expansion of personal space (which sometimes can manifest in excessive aagression, but often also manifests in a capability of managing lots of people and things).
For this reason, we consider comparison between MBTI types and socionic types by functions to be rather useless than useful.

I've known some XLIs that are outwardly expressive in a very sarcastic and patronizing way. I don't know if I would call them dramatic.

It is, however, possible to draw an objective scale of emotional expressiveness, with this guy on one end:
And then my avatar on the other.
I'd say XLIs are likely closer in general to Mr. Governator up there (though IRL Schwarzenegger is a brilliant fucking manipulative SEE-Te).

An SEE concerned with establishing control and dominance. That is -- an SEE of the Te IE subtype.
He's a master emotional manipulator, as can be seen in his Pumping Iron documentary, where he for example once trashed an opponent in front of his own parents under the guise of friendly conversation:Strengthening function forms the lingering behavior. This method of domination is secondary. This is the business leader, who persistently and emphatically gets his own way.
And then another time he convinced an opponent to scream like a maniac in front of the judges, ruining his performance.
Which leads me to believe he's an F-creative type.

Yes, doesn't sound much ILI. If I hear words like 'dramatic', 'expressive', 'flamboyant' and others, IEI comes to mind.
„Man can do what he wants but he cannot want what he wants.“
– Arthur Schopenhauer
Emphaty in the exact definition means the cognitive ability to put yourself in another persons place.
It's a strong point for introverts, especially Ni leading types. So ILI's yes.
Compassion which is often thought to be the same, is something different. The ability to share another persons pleasure or pain. This is probably not something an ILI is good at.
^ But not as a defining characteristic. Note that we can feel one way internally but not decide to exhibit that feeling externally. The only people who know I can show empathy are people I know online. I get shocked faces whenever people see me doing a good deed. Because of my aversion to the exhibition of feelings, I can be more generous to strangers than familiar people.
Why EJ rather than EP?
Emotionally-based management and manipulation is an Ethical theme by very definition. types manipulate by stirring people emotionally to their side, whereas types do so through managing emotional distance (essentially, s go "you know it's riiiiiiight" and s go "I'm your frieeeeeeend"). Se + Fi is characterized by this, which is why SEEs make excellent politicians (they aren't called the "politician" type for naught). Now, it is quite possible for Logical types to learn how to do this, but it'd be more likely if such were the Logical's HA rather than suggestive, which is why LSE is less likely than SEE. Further, I don't particularly see Schwarzenegger as an Si-valuer (let alone Si-ego). Where do you see Si?Also, the implication that -creative makes people "master emotional manipulators," is stupid.
Bah, the more the merrier I say.And 8 subtypes is way too fucking many.

True. But you're defining "empathy," and the OP said "emphatic," not "empathetic."
Just trying to keep everyone on the same page...
My ILI can be fairly dramatic, but only around people (like me) whome he feels very comfortable with. And when he does get dramatic, it's usually over something that challenges his Ni: that is, something bad happens and he beats himself up emotionally about it because he "should have seen it coming."
