Which self-typings have you gone through?

**Codie** · 10-12-2011, 02:30 PM

Inspired by the "Factors behind common mistypings." by Krig. I am wondering what types have you considered or still considering?

Moi? (ILI) limited understanding of

I thought

polr could make sense. (EII) Newbie, translating MBTI into socionics. very confusing.
(LSI) I thought I VI'd like one & rationalized a base/ HA swap with supressed

. (IEI) Inter-type, strengths & weaknesses fit.

**Jenna** · 10-12-2011, 02:41 PM

Only IEI. I've considered EII, but that would make me duals with my obvious LSE dad, which I'm not. Considered ILI and SEI but I'm definitely not either of those. IEI always wins out

**ashlesha** · 10-12-2011, 02:44 PM

I only ever typed eii. unless you count the first couple weeks I "tried on" iei because I related to ni and thought the descriptions fit me more reasonably than eii descriptions which sounded stodgy.

Creepy-Snaps · 10-12-2011, 02:53 PM

First LSE, then ILE, then SLE, then ESE, then LSE again, then ESXj, then LSI, then back to ESE. Considered many other types, but not strongly enough to self-type as them.

**Absurd** · 10-12-2011, 03:10 PM

Only SLI before registering and, actually, paying attention to socionics...

**munenori2** · 10-12-2011, 03:14 PM

Started out EII (mbti test p/j switch) then started self typing as an SEI. I've toyed with pretty much all of the IP types in my head, and thought about LII a little, but I always come back to SEI. It never takes too long.

**mu4** · 10-12-2011, 03:16 PM

I had a ENTP typing in MBTI in my earlier twenties. I tested ILI/LII when I first learned socionics and sort of waffled a bit for a few days, then I realized I was ILE and not a introtim, just socially introverted at the time.

**InvisibleJim** · 10-12-2011, 03:20 PM

ILI and ILI....

At other times I type ILI.

**krieger** · 10-12-2011, 03:30 PM

thought about being INFj and INTp for a bit in my first two years, but never explicitly committed to any typing other than INTj.

**Ver** · 10-12-2011, 03:46 PM

I've always believed I'm ENFp although I sometimes struggled hard and hoped to be ESFj (at the times when I was in a relationship with INTj). Many people used to type me ISFp and ESFj on this forum. I identify strongly with Delta but also with Alpha sometimes...

Creepy-Snaps · 10-12-2011, 04:13 PM

I like how all the Ne-valuers mention they've considered multiple types, or identified with several different types, but all the Ni-valuers say things like "only" one type, or brag how they've not been swayed by other ideas.

Hahaha

**marooned** · 10-12-2011, 08:05 PM

All four IP types, Beta ST, SEE, EIE, Delta NF. I think that covers it. IP temperament remains what I'm "sure" of basically.

**DirectorAbbie** · 10-12-2011, 08:14 PM

I first considered myself ESTj, then after a while I thought I might be LSE, then I decided I must be ESTj-Te. Then I went back to LSE. Now I'm LSE-Te.

I know. I'm so wishy-washy.

**Cuddly McFluffles** · 10-13-2011, 06:21 AM

I came in as ENFP and took to IEE. I later typed IEI, partly due to wanting to be, partly because others suggested it, and partly because some of it made sense. After a while, I gravitated toward EII. I now call myself EII, with no "tentative" before it. I still question it every so often, but that's just what I do. I keep IEE open as a possibility, but

base seems more likely.

Enneagram: Started out 4. I recently settled into 6. Tritype would be 6-4-8.

**Beautiful sky** · 10-14-2011, 04:10 AM

I originally typed myself as ILE because when I was young, I was very competitive and very curious as well as a veracious reader and gatherer of ideas and insights into things. But, my mom told me that this couldn't be a good fit because I have the biggest heart for people and my strive was always with the purpose of helping them. She said that ILE's intelligence coupled with needing someone else to think of the how of things for me (cause and effect) was what I was, an EII. I always had a soft and sensitive heart and cried quit easily and was deemed as interdependent by many of my teachers. My mom was right, I kept a journal and crossed referenced that with good descriptions and all of it fit quite well.

Yes, she was a lot of help when I first typed myself, but then I have a very close bond with my family and friends so most of them know Socionics by now.

What's your mum type Martisa?

**Reuben** · 10-20-2011, 02:02 AM

First came in as SEI. Then IEI. Then EIE. Then IEE. Then ILE. Then LII. Then SLE.

Then SLI. Then IEI. Then EIE. Then SLE.

Then ILI. Then ILE. Then LSE. Then SLI. Then SLE. Then LIE.

ILI and my dad is SLI; they are Look-a-like relations

**Slacker** · 10-20-2011, 01:07 PM

I always thought IEE.

**woofwoofl** · 10-14-2011, 04:45 AM

Started out self-typing as a Gamma Extratim, leaning a bit further to LIE than SEE; from there, I sat on SEE, flopped around on subtype a bit, and went with Se-SEE. I've considered other non-Alpha Irrational typings (SLI's the one burning in my mind right now), though not strongly enough to dislodge Se-SEE.

**GuavaDrunk** · 10-15-2011, 02:20 AM

Started in Gamma quadra then never went back. Typed IEI, seriously considered SEI, IEE and ILE. Current type in the air.

E9 -> 5 -> 4 -> 9 -> 4.

I wanted to say also, that my mom, being a perceptive type, criticized me for my subconscious function because she perceives the happenings, which were me not organizing and managing time.

I, in turn criticized her for her conscious functions, which were her pressures for me to act with her tuition about things that might happen with regards to time.

**silke** · 10-15-2011, 05:00 AM

None actually. One day I took an MBTI test and started browsing through different type profiles just for fun. The thing that caught my eye within those profiles were cognitive functions, so I proceeded to read up on these from different sources. After that there was little doubt that my own type is Ni-dominant. Fe/Ti took a bit longer to figure out since there are many misconceptions concerning F/T dichotomy, but luckily I was reading something on game theory concurrently which helped piece it all together. Crossing over to socionics from MBTI was simple as I only had to switch a few definitions around. Contrary to popular conception of MBTI as "the devil" on this board there are some things it covers that Socionics doesn't, as such I see these two systems as complimentary rather than mutually exclusive to each other.

Getting a better understanding of cognitive functions is what did it for me too. I find that typing by profiles is rather meh because so many people don't fall into their 'designated' stereotype. Inter-type relations often fail to manifest as predicted, even Russians have said as much, so anyone typing themselves via inter-types is more likely to get it wrong.
