What am I?

[vil]

Hi. I've been lurking for some time now and finally dicided to ask what you think my type is.

Some people from my country who are well read in the subject and had a chance to meet me in person seem to perceive me either as an EIE or an LIE.
I am somewhat baffled. None of the popular descriptions of those types actually fits me, although I could see myself as Ni-ego or anything, really, with all over the place.

Here's an album with some photos: http://imageshack.us/g/338/47047294.jpg/

I think you do look Fe-ENFj but if the descriptions dont fit you then I would say you are not one. Usually you identify with the descriptions of your type(at least I do), at least the good descriptions, lol. I dont know what descriptions you're reading so could you perhaps tell link us to those descriptions, if theyre not in Russian .

You are trying to make an EIE impression, but fail at it, the Gamma-vibes seep through. LIE it is.

VI-wise you look to me Gamma Introvert, first ILI (only because your face is similar to a friend of mine who is ILI), then ESI.

"What am I?" Now THERE'S a question!

I don't know.

welcome to the forum, vil.

have you ever read the female-specific type descriptions? not all of the text is translated well, but maybe you can get something out of them.

Actually you do look like ISFj! Now I recongnize that expression.

Well holy crap, a girl LIE hello Activity partner...

I know a Te-LIE girl and she absolutely rules; lots of people find her harsh, I think she's amazing and adorable and we motivate the shit out of each other... haven't seen her in too long ha...

You look more subdued than her, you come off Gamma, Te > Fe for sure; Ni-LIE it is

[vil]

I am certainly not trying to make an EIE impression, why would anyone do that? Unless it's that clumsy/crazy Fe chanelling that LIEs are known for.

To be honest, I'm more inclined to believe in descriptions of particular elements in functions rather than general characteristics of a type. This way, EIE works better for me, especially Ni-subtype. The description helpfully supplied by glam were hilarious, I had read them before; the female ENFj's apperance and first impression sounds like me on a good day and I am a teacher, which seems to be preferred profession for the lady.
The problem is, EIE and LIE share the same elements in creative and PoLR functions, both value/pay attention to/use a lot of Te and Fe - it's hard for me to tell which works faster, which I notice first. But perhaps I'm too fixated on these two to step outside the box.

I honestly doubt I could be I-j or I-p temperament-wise. Even less "sensing". (MBTI tells identifies me as ENFP or INFP but I realise there's not much relevance.)

You can try going by cognitive styles: link
LIE falls under V-S, EIE falls under D-A. See if you can recognize yourself in one of them. By VI I would say that LIE is more likely.

Just by VI I'd type you as LIE. You have a somewhat distinctive mesomorph characteristic which IME is commonly associated with LIE women.

That's far from conclusive, though.

Hi Vil! Wheareabouts from Poland are you? Maybe Warsaw like me?

This is quite fascinating, I haven't seen it before presented in such form; dichtomies tend to be explained in confusing ways. It doesn't make things clearer for me though - I'd say D-A seems more fitting as I think I am more "negative" and always quick to notice contrast, opposites, paradox and contradiction. The part where they write about problems in decision-making, hard choices and a tendency to get too critical (or self-critical) also, sadly, rings true. On the other hand, a real order emerging from chaos doesn't sound that unfamiliar either. And when I was thinking, no way I could be a Positivist, they give me this: Depriving their life of continuous forward movement exerts a bad effect upon their mind. Operating principle: As ambient momentum of circumstance declines, their self-determination atrophies. Lack of oncoming circumstantial pressures renders them increasingly worse off - story of my life, inactivity turns me into a depressed zombie. I still wish I was at least tiny bit like that successfull CEO, kick-ass businessperson that LIEs seem to be predestined to become, but, well, perhaps I'm deficient or made some really stupid career choices.
Anyway, it's a beautiful article but I remain undecided.
