What type???

[sarinana]

Why INTp fits him:
Is Enneagram 4 type.
He is attracted to everything what is weird and mysterious - Intuition
Clumsy - Weak sensing
When he talks he has the same calm intonation whatever he talks about.
Used to be autistic - Ni
When I tried to type him he asked me: "What type out of all is said to be the most introverted and calm? That would be me."

Why INTp doesn't seem to fit him:
He said he wants to dominate.
He said deep inside he would like to be in the center of attention but he couldn't deal with this due to his introvertion.
He has a high self esteem. Or maybe he just pretends. I am not so sure about this.
Seems to be a little bit narcisstic.


Some things that I have no idea what they are related to:

He said he prefers to be taken than to take when it comes to relationships.
Said if a girl doesn't show enough of attention to him at the very beggining he takes it as she doesn't like him and goes away.
Has thoughts that he is boring to other people.
Said he likes others to be very energetic around him.

i haven't read the whole thread; i just went by the fotos.

i got the impression of SLI. could be SEI...but dunno didn't see much emotion on his face, more the calm placid blank SLI face.

then again...usually SLI i wanna say is more conservative and by the book. i don't see many i know braiding their hair and dressing that way. then again what do i know about what people in their 20's are up to stylistically.

so, SEI is a viable type also.

I was reading a lot about how functions work from different aspects...
These are types he fits. Sometimes he seems to fit more than one aspect...
Se: LII, EII, ILI, IEI.
Ti: SLI, ILI
Ne: IEI, ILI, SEI, SLI
Fi: SLI, ILI, SEI, IEI
Te: SLI, ILI, EII, ESI
Ni: ILI, IEI (this description he seems to fit 100% perfectly)
Si: IEI, ILI, LII, EII
Fe: ILI, SLI, LSI, LII, EII, ESI

Do you know any examples of identical twins with different types?

V.I. would be a useless method then...

I do! Two pairs actually. Possibly three (the last I've only worked closely with one of 'em and he seems different from his brother, comparatives maybe?).

One ESFj/ESTp pair and one ISTp/ISTj. The unknown pair is INTj/IxTj.

Besides, that wouldn't make VI useless, unless you're asserting that physical appearance is the basis for VI rather than trying to draw parallels between observable phenomenon such as behavior/mood/temperament and the cognitive processes driving them? Though perhaps you're saying that cognitive behavior arises purely from a biological basis, rather than being a more complex function of genetics, the environmental stimuli presented to any given individual, and the larger milieu that is the social dynamics of their current historical moment.

V.I. works for me because
- I learned the basics with my base function
- I can decide if someone is likable or not with my role function
- I can compare him to people I know with my demonstrative function
- I can state the possibility of a correct typing with my creative function

Hey, I can rationalize an orange into an apple but that don't make it so, Joe.

My first impression was Delta Fi, but I think that Delta Fi and Gamma Ni can often have a similar vibe under the right circumstances. INTps with an overwhelming Ni focus can often have the whimsical/philosophical feel of Delta Fi. I think I could be content with any of EII, IEE or ILI based on VI alone. I'm hesitant about SLI because they tend towards a stubborn or non-nonsense attitude along with either that hermit or ranger persona.

What you said goes along with ILI, even the parts you said doesn't fit.

You have ILI listed for every one (in case you hadn't noticed but I'm sure you did.) Why not just go with his self-typing?

lol actually I haven't noticed this.
Why to not go with ILI?
Well if he is not ILI...then he is not worth talking with.
So I just want to make sure...

why would he not be worth talking to if he was a different type?

[sarinana]

why would he not be worth talking to if he was a different type?

Cause I wouldn't like myself falling in love with my conflictor....

[717495]

Yeah, that would suck. One day you wake up and you notice he has the wrong gait.

[crazedrat]

he is INFj-Fi. he VIs the way russel crow VIs. On the other hand, I am wondering whether you are ESFp or ESFj. You are the black haired girl in your V.I. pic? Have you read and ruled out ESFj for yourself?

[HaveANiceLife]

or me thinks

[sarinana]

You are one very very creative ISTP

who? me?
