Typing update

[Pa3s]

Hello folks,
my last typing thread was started a while ago and I just thought I ask you what you think my type is right now (not that I'm doubting my self-typing), since you may have changed your opinion. Some of you got to know me a bit better over time and others might only have a certain idea of my personality, which isn't necessarily wrong.

For some VI fun, I got one photo you haven't seen yet (afaik). It's not candid, but at least I think it turned out well. But you know how I look, anyway.

 

no quotes plz

So not to waste more words, casting a vote and/or writing a comment would be nice. Discussion is allowed, as always. Thanks.

EDIT: If you vote for "something else", please clarify what you have in mind.

VI-wise you look most similar to my LII friend who hates being taken pictures of.

[Pa3s]

Actually, this was taken for a new passport and had to match "biometrical" standards. That means: no grinning, laughing or other grimaces. I was glad not be constantly asked to smile like in the past.

I personally do not think you are an SLI. Your posts are kindly, intellectual, curious... not at all the blue collar thug that SLIs tend to be. You look like a nice college boy who has a large collection of graphic novels and who enjoys recycling your plasitic water bottles. Or one of those types that listens to and collects old records to play them on a rebuilt turntable. I am sure that you enjoy a peaceful life riding around town on a ten-speed bike. You look Alpha. You seem like an Alpha introvert. LII would be my first guess. However, I could accept ILI for you.

Of course I could be wrong. Sure. But my image of the SLI is that they are thugish...

[Pa3s]

I know some other guy who totally looks like him.

@slater: I can feel your frustration. Sorry

@Saberstorm: Haha, thanks. You're too new to have taken part in one of my previous threads. That's why it's kinda interesting to read what you say.

[Anglas]

Maritsa stop using physiognomy instead of visual identification.

[ashlesha]

i dont get where people get LII from. is it just the alphas who type you LII because you're likeable? idk

[blackburry]

I've always seen him as LII..

[Pa3s]

is it just the alphas who type you LII because you're likeable?

If so, it would be better than being hated by everyone and put into Omega Quadra.

[ashlesha]

he is right at home in #socionics which is very serious heavy. he's like the most unflappable person ever. compare to force my hand versus esc. I haven't seen him do all the abstract modeling with theory like pretty much every logical intuitive introvert here does.

stupid phone

[Aquagraph]

He looks like the infamous Jussi Halla-Aho, a Finnish blogger & politician with essays against current looseness of immigration policy.

[Pa3s]

I can see some resemblance, especially the rather "soft" features.

[Aquagraph]

He (Jussi) seems to be Fe PoLR from what I've read his blogs. But that was before being introduced to Socionics.

I can't type shit but I'd say you are XLI.

[krieger]

i've never gotten an identical vibe from him, for reasons that are positive rather than negative. he comes across more reasonable to me than INTjs including myself. less stubborn, less idiosyncratic, less invested in his own characteristic take on things.

[Absurd]

From past interactions SLI works.

I smiled for my passport photo

[Pa3s]

I smiled for my passport photo

Smiling makes it hard for the computer to identify your face if it has to compare your passport photo to the face of someone robbing a bank or somthing like this. That's why they want the "neutral" look.

[Jinxi]

IEI-Ni.

[Absurd]

IEI-Ni.

I noticed you're not Maritsa, how come then you sound like her typing nearly everyone IEI as opposed to LSE?

[Jinxi]

Dude's Ni-Ti with weak Fe.

[Pa3s]

Beta? Well, that's something new indeed.

[Absurd]

Dude's Ni-Ti with weak Fe.

Okay. Read it first time thus as well.

[Jinxi]

Dunno why no one else sees it. The guy is so Ti'd up that he thinks he's a Ti type.

[Radio]

Jinxi doesn't use socionics, he's using Podlair and IEI is his equivalent of Nai'Xyy, the bestest type of all (because apparently the creator of the theory is also Nai'Xyy along with 90% of the human population).

That explains it. Wonder what Maritsa is using.

Malware alert!

[willekeurig]

To be honest I've always thought you look intuitive, but typing based on VI alone is bullshit and I want you in my quadra, so SLI it has to be.

[olduser]

intuitive introverted type without a doubt. i dont know which however...intj/infj/intp. infp probs not

[Pa3s]

...intj/infj/intp

Thanks. I have considered to include EII as an option in the poll. But since nobody types me like that according to the spreadsheet (and I also think it's not too likely), I didn't do that. However, it's still an option of course.

[ashlesha]

in order of reasonableness to weirdness out of those suggested: sli>eii>ili>lii>iei

[Beautiful sky]

Thanks. I have considered to include EII

Jesus, no.

[Pa3s]

Jesus, no.

"...as an option in the poll." – I can put in ESE if I want, you still don't have to vote for it, nor does anyone else. What's wrong with that? But since I know that you barely accept anyone else being EII, I suppose you're already offended by the mere possibility of being that type.

[silke]

From a few of your posts that I've seen you seem to pick up on similarities more readily than differences, which means Positivist cognition (SLI) > Negativist cognition (LII).

VI-wise you look similar to this guy whom I typed as Te-SLI after some interaction -

Wow, that guy looks exactly like some other guy I know from school! Just like an older version of him, from the eyes to the freckles.

[Codie]

If you have any experience with the duals ESE, IEE, and SEE of your possible identicals.. how do your relations seem to go with each one? it'll point you toward your type.

if you're LII then ESE. dual. SEE. conflict. IEE. supervisee.

if you're ILI then ESE. conflict. SEE. dual. IEE. mirage.

if you're SLI then ESE. supervisor. SEE. mirage. IEE. dual.

What I do not get is your lack of obvious physical strength.

My brother is clearly an Te-SLI-N and he is very strong. His strength is central to his persona. It is the arbitrator of the balance between his Si lead function and his Se ignoring function.

He prides himself on being "the cockroach that got away." (He is firmly Darwinian, and believes that the cockroach is the supreme animal of Darwinian evolution.) What that means is he tends to withdraw from Se related dangers. His behavior is exactly like an introverted perceiver as a result. He is like a scurrying cockroach. In fact, he brags about it. He always comes in and says something like "and then I scurried away..." The cockroach is his role model, like the Honey Badger is becoming for some people here on the forum.

Where does the cockroach scurries to? It is his Si. Si is related to the power to resist the elements and to control body functions, including the power to enjoy the inner body sensation of his muscles contracting. So he works at a water purification facility, where he uses his brute strength to stand in the cold trying to bust loose a nut from a bolt using a hand tool. His strength is his Si... or at least a good measure of it.

Imagine a goblin; he scurries away from you so he can return to his goblin labor of cutting trees down at midnight. Se is avoided, Si is embraced. You hear the goblin chant in worship to the cockroach, celebrating the roach and his power to scurry into the night!

Goblin = resistance to cold wet darkness, plus the body control to pound on things with muscular energy.

Of course, I tried to analyze how I react to people of other types. I don't have much interpersonal experience with either of the extroverted types you named. I think I know a female IEE and we got along well, even though she was not more than an acquaintance. The strongest hint I might have is my best friend who I type SLI. He is, btw, shorter, slimmer and physically weaker than me, even though I'm not Mr. Universe myself, but I'm still very sure of his type. He just has to be Fe-polr and a serious type. The only other option is ILI, but he doesn't seem Ni or otherwise much interested in N-related issues. I have noticed that we tend to think and act very similar in many ways (that could also stem from the years we know each other of course) and we rarely piss each other off. That means there must at least be some quadra compatibility or something like that.

I don't work out, I don't do any sports with some exceptions, but despite my lack of excercise, I consider myself to be in an acceptable shape. If I'd regularly do something for my fitness, I could become considerably stronger than I am now. Right now, I'm not fat, but I don't have a sixpack, either. I'm 5 feet and 10 inches tall and weigh 140 pounds. That means, I do lack strength because I simply don't have much mass, but for my current and probably future occupation it's fully sufficient.

As I said above, I have a friend who also doesn't fit that "thuggish, ripped, cockroach-like" SLI stereotype. I still can't find a type that fits him better judging from his personality.

---------------

However, I do know that I have some traits which are considered to be indicating an intuitive personality. I'm often absorbed in what I do, people sometimes startle me by unexpectedly talking to me. Or I walk through crowded placed and fail to notice people I know, they have to talk to me so I acknowledge their presence. My general tendency to not care about real-life stuff until it's necessary (quote of my mom who surprisingly paid a visit, while looking at my untidy flat: "Well, you're a poet and thinker [idiom] and not a cleaner...") and all that seem to be typical "evidences". I realize that, and it makes me question my self-typing more than most other stuff.
