When typing LSI sometime in the future will you align some subtype to 3w2 like you did with the SLE Ni subtype you type yourself aligning it with 8w9 ?

[jessica129]

I like these...LSI-Se / LSI-Si fit very well for me.

[discojoe]

Fe fits me better.

[Absurd]

Fe fits me better.

Yup, that's right.

[golden]

Fe fits me better.

Yep, second that.

[Aleksei]

I could definitely see you as Fe. I actually wasn't sure.

Aligning types across systems is a fruitless endeavor. The matches here are simply most likely type matches, they aren't exact type matches.

Yea, I know it is pointless and counter-productive but that didn't stop you from doing it.

[Ozz]

Thanks for posting.

Could you clarify if JCF = MBTI? Also, how did Socionics ends up with 8 subtypes? I thought the 2 subtypes are just the base and the creative.

An estimated best fit isn't the same as a moronic Crispy-ish attempt at making all cross-type matches obligatory. :wink:

Could you clarify if JCF = MBTI?

JCF = Jungian Cognitive Functions. The functions as originally designed by Jung, which differ a fair bit from the IEs designed by Augusta.

Also, how did Socionics ends up with 8 subtypes?

The eight subtypes are subdivisions of DCNH, accentuating distinct versions of dominant, creative, etc. behavior. More info can be found here.

hahaha, this is actually well-done. Where is Aleksei anyways?

[Dionysius]

I identified with the LSI-Fe and Ni.

I think I developed my lower functions, so I don't look like stereotypical LSIs.

My mom is ESFj and my father ESTp. Reading a MBTI author, Marie-Louise Von Franz, I found some interesting material about the early development of the personality in family environments. She claims that each person has one role in the family, then very often children develop some abilities which are not characteristic to them, just to complement or fulfill the lack of this Element in the environment.

For example, with my father (SLE-'Fe'), maybe I overdeveloped my Ni so this would make me create a better relationship with him (Ni suggestive). He always stimulated me to be an imaginative person, buying lots of videogames, and telling me fantastical stories.

My half-brother (LSI-Ti), on the other hand, was raised by my stepfather (ESTj), so he is much stricter and colder than me. No imagination at all.
