Hello everyone ~


I have to admit, I used to be skeptical about Socionics, and still somewhat am. However, I am here to learn and delve deeper into the theories Socionics has to offer, and how I can see them mirrored in my own daily life.

I am IEI, though I still struggle with choosing one of the subtypes. I feel like I can be the Ni or Fe subtype, depending on my life circumstances.
When I was younger, in my early teens, I seemed more like the Fe subtype. Exuberant around people at times, but extremely introverted on my own – I usually needed quite some time by my own.

The last two years or so I have become extremely reserved and very much like how the Ni subtype's appearance is described as. Sometimes, after I have opened up to people, my behavior can resemble the Fe subtype's one once again, though this is not the state I am usually in.


In case any other IEIs stumble across this post, please tell me how you would differentiate between the two subtypes, and how you found out yours.
