What is your mother's type?
Pretty sure we must have had a poll like this before, if only because I remember a time when everybody's mother was ESE. I'm going to do separate polls for each parent because then it may give some interesting gender stats and also because your parents might both be the same type!
I am going to make the poll multi-choice in case you can't settle on a type, which may result in a few joke answers.
What type is your family tree.
SEI
ESI-Fi
ESE heh
IEE
SEI E2-SP
Or ESE because all mother's are ESE.
I was thinking the same...or that maybe I was being mass-trolled.
Now I can use type to make fun of your mother.
SEE E2
throwing around that Se left and right like nobody's business haha.
Mother is probably Gamma or Delta; workaholic that doesn't know how to make fun. Logical type in all probablility. I'd say introverted.... SLI? (nah she's rational) "caring" in an overbearing, nosy way, giving way too much Ni advice, usually ill founded. Very hands on type of manager, implementation over strategy. Would have strong Ne if that fit with the other stuff; she's a good entrepreneur, always finding new potential busyness ventures. She doesn't check which of the ideas is best though and just implements everything. Gives off a cold vibe but considers herself a very emotional person. She intimidates people. Only takes advice from a select few people and will than lose all sense of her own perspective. Secretly very insecure.
Do I have the only logical mother?!

Mine is LIE.

LIE is actually a pretty good typing for my mom.I was kinda assuming sensing because she's a lot less Ne/Ni than me but in a way she's more than most people so... Interesting
LSI is what I am currently connecting to my mom to but I wouldn't be surprised if she was my conflict. It is hard to tell because she isn't very educated.
It is more likely to see her with a scowl on her face than a smile but it is easy to make her smile if you do exactly what she tells you and/or give her something nice that she really wanted. Giving her the wrong gift is likely to hurt your feelings not hers. She is not afraid to tell someone why she thinks they are absolutely wrong. I have spent my whole life running behind her apologizing to others for her being rude to them. It's like she has no sense of other's emotional state only her own and that is all that matters to her. If she feels miserable it is because someone did something to her. Never because of her own actions. I may not be typing her right though. I am biased. Children and animals love her but she never had any warmth toward me.
Edit: Happy Mother's Day mom... I would never tell you any of this to your face... hmmm, maybe some of it tactfully. I bought her a huge flowering plant today and she smiled.
@ my mommy issues.
I can't remember ever seeing my mom cry. I know she did when my step-dad died but I just can't picture it in my mind. It's like she was made of stone when I try to reach back in my memories.

“My typology is . . . not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical.” —C.G. Jung
I'm torn between ILI and SLI for her. SLIs from descriptions seem "sharper" and she does have a good intuition, but at the same time she values Si - can't figure out which one is her role function - Ni or Si (?)

edit: but if Lysette Anthony is indeed ILI, then my mum is ILI too. She looks like a blond version of my mum. Brunette pics are even better.
Same expressions, body posture, very interesting.
I've just read through ILI and SLI descriptions again on wikisocion and while SLI has many similarities, ILI seems to fit better (down to them writing down in female ILI description almost her exact words reflecting her sentiments to infants and her preferring to talk to them when they grow enough to be able to hold a conversation).
hmm...

is so valuable on certain occasions,
that I wish it to be always kept alive.
It will often be exercised when wrong
but better so than not to be exercised at all.
I like a little rebellion now and then.
It is like a storm in the atmosphere."
