What's my Type?
Hi, I'm recently a newbie to socionics and I've been having trouble figuring out my type. I took a load of tests online and I 've only gotten either LSI, ILI, or LIE. In terms of quadras, I find myself relating to Beta and Gamma. In MBTI I prefer INTJ and my enneagram type is 3. Thanks guys!
Personal concepts
1. What is beauty? What is love?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love is a deep attachment to any person or object.
2. What are your most important values?
Honesty, being inclusive, accepting, forethought, respectful, not being a bigot, and loyalty to those that you care about.
3. Do you have any sort of spiritual/religious beliefs, and why do you hold (or don't) those beliefs in the first place?
I don’t personally subscribe to any spiritual belief, but in my everyday life I behave more as stoic. There is no rational basis for believing in spiritual/religious beliefs, so I choose not to subscribe to it.
4. Opinion on war and militaries? What is power to you?
War occurs when there two nation states cannot resolve disputes through diplomacy. War is incredibly disastrous for both parties involved and it comes at the cost of countless of lives unnecessarily. While war can be extremely disastrous, it sometimes necessary and justified. It can be justified in cases of self-defense from an aggressive state or humanitarian aid, such as a genocide. Likewise, Militaries are a necessary evil as a means of self-defense and diplomacy. Power is anything that gives you the means of influencing people or institutions in your favor.
Interests
5. What have you had long conversations about? What are your interests? Why?
Politics is a personal hobby of mine. I can have extended conversations about it for hours at a time. I love politics mainly because of the different power dynamics Also, a part of me has always been interested in politics--that's the part of me that wants to save the world. I believe that some of the most daunting challenges in the world today--poverty, disease, war--can be solved if people can put aside their petty differences and preconceived notions and do what they know to be right. I’m also interested in history, philosophy, science, dancing, music, and coding.
6. Interested in health/medicine as a conversation topic? Are you focused on your body?
For the most part, no. But, I am to some extent self-conscious about how I look, so I do focus on my body to some extent. I am interested in recreational drugs though.
7. What do you think of daily chores?
I cannot stand daily chores, but they are a necessity.
8. Books or films you liked? Recently read/watched or otherwise. Examples welcome.
Books - The Prince, 1984, The Art of War, The Republic, The Alchemist, A Song of Ice and Fire, Harry Potter, Brave New World, 48 Laws of Power, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Lord of the Rings, The Far Seer, Kissinger The Idealist, Catcher in the Rye, The Giver, Fahrenheit 451, Rules for Radicals, Catch-22, The Anthem, and Under the Dome.

9. What has made you cry? What has made you smile? Why?
I’m not one to cry for the most part. However, I do get teary eyed when I watch a heartbreaking documentary of poverty or war crimes I usually smile whenever I hear a good sarcastic joke, anything that is clever will make me smile.
10. Where do you feel: at one with the environment/a sense of belonging?
Anywhere where I can discuss topics that I am interested in.
Evaluation & Behavior
11. What have people seen as your weaknesses? What do you dislike about yourself?
Being arrogant, argumentative, condescending towards people, not being able to relax, being vulnerable, power hungry, lack of emotional awareness at times, antisocial at times as well.
12. What have people seen as your strengths? What do you like about yourself?
Intelligence, cleverness, thinking before acting on something, ambition, charming, confident, tough-mindedness, loyal person.
13. In what areas of your life would you like help?
To be more involved with people on an emotional level. I have trouble really opening up to people emotionally, I am almost too logical at times. Also, to understand myself better as a person and who I am.
14. Ever feel stuck in a rut? If yes, describe the causes and your reaction to it.
Whenever I can’t meet my goals, it causes me to be critical of myself. I also start doubting myself, which causes me feel ashamed and vulnerable.
People & Interactions
15. What qualities do you most like and dislike in other people? What types do you get along with? Overly emotional people, stupidity, willful ignorance, hate, bigotry, tribalism, people who don’t think about how their actions will affect others or the future, zealousness, lack of loyalty, and weakness.
16. How do you feel about romance/sex? What qualities do you want in a partner?
I think its overrated to some extent, but it’s a wonderful feeling and experience that you share with someone. I usually look for someone who is thoughtful, funny, sarcastic, clever, good looking, ready to challenge me, and someone you I can feel completely vulnerable with.
17. If you were to raise a child, what would be your main concerns, what measures would you take, and why? I would want my child to have a proper education and also develop into healthy social skills. I would also worry about demanding too much perfection from my child. Also, get the balance between being overly strict and giving them enough freedom to fully express themselves.
18. A friend makes a claim that clashes with your current beliefs. What is your inward and outward reaction?
Inward I think that they are either an idiot or just misguided. Outward, I try to figure out why they believe what they believe in the form a debate. If they can provide a reasonably rational explanation for their beliefs, then I accept it.
19. Describe your relationship to society. How do you see people as a whole? What do you consider a prevalent social problem? Name one.
Until recently, I held a very cynical outlook on humanity and even considered myself a nihilist of some sort. However, I have faith in humanity to make the necessary progress to ensure our survival. I truly believe that most people are good and well intentioned in most cases, even when it doesn’t seem that way. While I still hold that view, I also think most people are too naïve, emotional, and irrational in most cases. Also, people don’t take the time to understand what’s going on and latch onto some demigod who makes all kind of promises. A prevalent social problem is still the hate that we have in the world for each other. People think way too much in terms of tribalism.
20. How do you choose your friends and how do you behave around them?
My friends are chosen based on similar interest and ability to have conversations beyond superficial things. Also, someone that I can be brutally honest with and vice-versa. Even with my friends though, I feel as if I can never fully open up emotionally to them, so I feel as though a part of me is always missing. But I'm usually much more blunt, sarcastic, and to the point with my friends.
21. How do you behave around strangers?
I try to be extremely polite and accommodating on the outwardly. I also try to be more extroverted than I usually am. Inwardly however, I judge people on their comments, beliefs, actions for the most part.

What you aim for is a SEE politician image but you are by default a rational, asset-, task- and fact-conscious adventurer with a sense of enterprise. ENTj is very visible in the choice of professional field, for instance. What I didn't see was Ni? Except the future action part.
