Is typing approach type related?
If the way we perceive reality is defined by our ego functions, this probably also applies to the way we type ourselves and other people. How do various types go about typing?
E.g. I think IEEs probably go through typing by comparing (moral) character traits with those traits from people they have experienced in the past, i.e. they use transference to get to an impression about an another person and then compare that impression to memories of previous encounters, and going through a process of identifying genus and differentia come to a conclusion about which person from the past this new encounter comes closest to. Thus the method is Ne and Ti based.
Possibly other types use transference as well, but they use other aspects in the process. But I don't know this for sure.
Thoughts anyone?
