My final and definitive typing thread

[somavision]

Hello

For those that do not know me, I am Somavision, I also post as The Penetrator.

I have had typing threads before, it is my intenttion that this be the last.
The reasons for starting this new thread are many and varied, since the time I became interested in socionics the only serious self typings I have had are IEE and ILE and I have found myself on the whole being more than comfortable with my normal self typing of IEE. I've started to write a few of these posts recently and found myself deleting them before posting, as through my own writing I often found the answers to questions that perhaps I was not aware of when I started to write, there is a chance that this may happen again, however I intend to post this regardless even if just to record and solidify the the process of discovery.

I am at a point of transition in my life, aware that to reach my potential I need to take risks, that i have become too comfortable after previous times of transition and that it is time for me to grow further. This unsettled moment is in my eyes a response to different paths that are now apparant but which were earlier clouded by action and life and change.

I want to keep all that is good in my life without settling, to explore and to grow and to experience all that is new. I still have adventures however they are less spontaneous, more responsible...

The stagnation is leading me back to cigarettes, a vile curse that I had last escaped when I left my last coorporate employment. Work is a nuisance...

My girlfriend is amazing... I'm moving in with her next month, and I'm worried about losing my independance.

OK, I think that this thread had nothing to do with my type and everything to do with my general frustration and my fear of stagnation. Before all this I would say rock n' roll and whatever pain or hardship I was in I knew that it was only me I had to answer to, I've been in this situation again and I recoil at making the same mistake.

I think I need to take some chances, act in good faith and rock n' roll.

However as previosly stated I will post this and will gratefully receive any kind of feedback whatsoever.

ILE or IEE or Other?

Thanks for reading.

Based on your writing style, I don't really see Ti-creative... Imo, Parasite and Haveluciddreamz(s?) are good examples of that. I've never really seen you analyze something extensively (not that it necessarily implies that you don't want to) on the forum, or gotten the vibe that you're interested in that type of thing "just because." I can't pinpoint exactly what it is now, but I just don't see you being ILE... . Are you sure that you're frustrated due to stagnation or procrastination/lack of will power of going for what you actually want?

Ah ha thanks yes - Number 2 - irritated by lack of willpower. laziness, poor attention, inability to focus, to finish what I start, combined with a fear that unless I can change this I will live a life of shallow peaks nad troughs continually recycling the same patterns of underachievement. I felt I was breaking free, but recently I feel restricted and demotivated. I need to work on changing this.

And yes, after reading what you said Ti creative is really rather silly, I think I just needed to hear it from an external source.

Cheers Lobo

Oh man, I know how that feels... hehe.

I don't think it's silly to consider another type, unless it's something like your "conflictor" .

I would suspect delta NF from your post. Fi ego feels pretty evident to me based on your heavy emphasis on your emotional states in your life. An alpha NT would more likely talk about the things they think about and what they're interested in and maybe pay a quick homage to their social problems and motivational issues.

My guess would be Fi-EII or Fi-IEE

some people will never settle on a type and keep switching.

face it, your one of them.

Even I cannot laugh in the face of sense indefinately.

I usually self type as a centreing IEE-Ne, however I believe that my Fi may shine brighter during times of introspection - which triggered the starting of this thread.

Not indefinately, but 5 years is not uncommon.
