discuss.
i'm asking because nothing pops out as being particularly obvious to me and he's fairly low key on the forum without much noisy controversy about his type. and because his opinions about forum member types (including my own) are often different from the norm which is interesting to me. i don't see any serious problem with see but starting from scratch i suppose all i'd say is extroverted & not te dominant.
I thought Ne something at first, but I can be wrong.
EII FTW! Once I get that tattooed on my member no one will be able to refute my logic.

I actually started a type thread on Perc recently and was surprised that someone came up with LIE other than that though the common consensus over there seems to be more in line with absurd's rationale, specifically 2-3 people comming to the conclusion of IEE.Originally Posted by lungs

An overview of the various reasons that people think I am not SEE
Beta/SLE/Fe Values
- Initially when I entered this forum people seemed to cite my ability to both foster and participate in somewhat non-judgmental and emotionally expressive atmospheres of discussion as Fe-values. Actually after a few months of being active on this forum I went to a socionics gathering in Canada and stayed with Vero, this is relevant in that I drove to Canada with the users thehotelambush and chameleon who were roommates. At the gathering, and during the initial meeting where everyone was still getting comfortable with each other, I made an obvious effort to make everyone feel at ease and involve everyone in the discussion that took place over dinner as soon as we arrived. thehotelambush and chameleon thought that my ability to create such an amiable, expressive, and all inclusive atmosphere for people I'd just met was such a prevalent part of my personality that they actually were of the opinion that I was EIE or IEI.
- Its come up at various points that I seem a fair bit too logical to be an SEE type. This has always struck me as a particularly poor argument. Formal logic can be learned and is taught in most universities. Assuming that formal logic is in fact a Ti construction and a Ti view of the world, I don't think it solely attracts Ti valuers or Ti ego types. At this point I would like to bring up the somewhat common consensus that Socionics is a Ti construction and a Ti view of the world and it attracts a very wide variety of people for various reasons that may or may not value Ti. This argument or observation is always somewhat offensive to me in that it often strikes me as an indirect way for others to perpetuate the stereotype of SEEs being stupid and unintellectual.
- Blackberry I believe at one point or another thought I was SLE because most of my posts seemed offensive to her.
- From my own perspective I can be somewhat crude and abrasive at times and tend to be very willing to participate in rude, abrasive atmospheres.
Delta/IEE/Ne Values
-This is certainly not a common typing on 16t but seems to be the most common perspective on Perc. Essentially people make the observation that I seem fairly laid back, non-judgmental, and lacking in ambition as well as social agenda. These strike me as somewhat relevant observations about my character. Beyond the observational perspective of I seem a fair bit less harsh than some would expect an Se leading type to be, I've yet to hear anyone make an argument for Ne or Si values. Not to say that one can't be made, simply that no one has made it.
- From my own perspective I tend to be somewhat less harsh and less judgmental than most would expect gamma types to be. I certainly do concern myself with evaluating the character of others, but more often than not if I think negatively of someone I tend to not vocalize my perspective publicly.
Alpha/ILE
-I believe the user heath thought I was boyish and quirky and that was evidence enough for an Alpha typing. While no one has asserted an Alpha type as the case in some time, the main argument behind such a typing is my jovial nature, and to heath's credit my ability to be 'quirky'.
I actually am not so much active on the forum itself, but do spend a fair amount of time directly interacting with members of the forum. While I may not post as often as most people who have been around for four years have, at various times I've likely skyped/PM'd/AIM'd with most of this forum's more prominent members.
I'm not sure how relevant to my type my contrarian nature regarding the types of others is but it could speak to something.

If it's possible to type purely by temperament, then I've successfully narrowed you down to four quadras. I think you EP.

Harvest will come

@JWC3 I haven't seen any solid reason to doubt your self-typing, honestly. As personal impressions go, I find you pleasantly energetic and fun to be around, even if our senses of humor have clashed in the past; the majority of any discomfort has been on your end, and I was actually rather surprised to hear about it. Whether our interactions would be different IRL is hard to say.

Oh I don't think they really clashed. I think I was trying to fit the bill of offensive SLE more than anything. Either way I think I was more upset about socionis not working properly than I was that the 2-3 offensive jokes I told didn't go over well.

Being upeat is associated with Ne like bubbly or energetic and cheerful.
How would you describebase, then?

Am I correct in assuming that the assertion you wish to make that Ne ego types have an exclusive monopoly on being upbeat and energetic?
Easy Day
So which types can been seen behaving in an upbeat/energetic fashion and, how strong would you say the connection between upbeat/energetic behavior being type related, that you're attempting to make, is?

You just described William.
Very funny.
I could gettatooed to my wrist. Then everyone would have reason to refute my logic.
Yeah. I generally follow the rationale that the more important the body part and the more painful the tattoo the more persuasive power your perspective possesses. Maybe you could find someone who does tongue and eyeball work? You'd be pretty persuasive then.Very funny.

What's your reasoning for SLE again?
Easy Day
Didn't you self-type SLE before? It made sense to me then, and it makes sense to me know. Polikujm agrees: you remind us of SLEs.
You certainly aren't a Delta. You have entirely different values. If Gamma wants you I won't put up a fuss, but you aren't one of those goofy SEEs. You're one of those SLEs who's only funny to your own people, and you don't value Fi.
I'd agree, I'm probably not Delta. I'm slightly confused though. Wouldn't tailoring my sense of humor to fit specific people be a far more Fi approach than Fe? Is my sense of humor your main rationale for lacking Fi values?
Easy Day
No and No.
Actually, I think Fe types would be more likely to tailor their humor to suit the crowd. To an Fi, this might seem dishonest.
There is a difference between tailoring sense of humor to fit crowd...vs to fit the more personal company one is in.
And Fe/Fi creative/demonstrative would naturally do either or both.
IEE 649 sx/sp cp
Well by that definition I'd say I'm more Fi than Fe. I love telling jokes that no one else thinks are funny. My two favorites being "What do you call a fish with no eyes?" "FSH" and "What did the dressing say to the salad?" "Lettuce be friends" I've also never told a joke on stage that didn't make me laugh while writting it. Not because of any concern about it feeling dishonest mind, but because I just don't understand how a joke that doesn't make me laugh will make anyone else laugh.
Easy Day
Agreed.

I did get you. JWC self-types E3 just like William. At least that's what I've been able to gather.
Yup. As 3 as the day is long. Dat workaholism op!
Easy Day
Betas are quite welcoming I found, to a certain point. The point of no return, where shit hits the fan...
Come to think of it my SLE brother makes lame jokes he thinks are funny too, and doesn't try at all to understand Ne/Si humor. I guess my assumption was false.
SLEs are pests. SEEs are weirdos. But they have a redeeming quality. When I talk to an SEE 1-1, I feel I can open up. But you're more likely to be tough and dismissive. Not rude though...you seem decent for an SLE. What makes you think you're a feeler?
Maybe? I can't help but feel like I slightly mispoke. I mean being able to make a specific singular individual laugh. For example if I hear a joke that I know will make Aestrivex laugh wouldn't that necesitate some understanding of his inner emotional world? On the flip side though you could argue that I've just paid some ammount of attention to his external emotional expression i.e. his actually physically laughing. Either way, strikes me as very much the case that anndelise is correct. Fe/Fi creative/demonstrative would easily do both.
Easy Day
Democratic EP. You seem pretty dandy.
Tough and dismissive? That seems... a little contrived. I'm not sure what behavior I've exhibited on the forum that would lead you to this conclusion. Not that I'd be inclined to say that I've exhibited much forum behavior that anyone would define as sensitive and caring either.
As for what makes me think I'm a feeler, do you mean what makes me think I could be Fi creative? Why do I think I have Fi values? Or are you entertaining some Fe ego type? Feeler is a rather broad term.
EDIT: Also if your rationale for my lacking Fi values is not centered solely around my sense of humor, what is it? If it's easier, what's the rationale for Fe values over Fi values?

It could be an assumption based off you being SLE that I just stuck with because I didn't have evidence against it. I won't deny doing that before.
I'm just going to attempt to describe Fi vs Fe. I'll probably make a mess of it and you'll end up even more confused because that usually happens when I try to explain functions, but...
The white shapes are subjective. The black shapes are objective.
Si/Se is the pair I understand the best. An Se will have a good understanding of what is around them. An Si will have a personal connection to their surroundings and probably be better at feeling what's going on inside of them.
I'm drawing a blank on the Fi/Fe...but it correlates to Te/Ti. So I just have to explain why you are Ti, not Te.
Tes think more along the lines of a universal logic. To Tis, their thoughts/knowledge are more personal. So if I correct a Ti and try to explain that their private thoughts are false, they'll react like, "No, these are my thoughts! Mind your own thoughts." Also, I think Tes think more in lists and Tis think more in bubble charts, but that's just a theory.
Am I helping at all?
What's an example of a thought process concerned with universal logic?

Easy Day
Took me some time to figure out the question. Maybe the lack of an apostrophe threw me off. But it looks like you are asking how Tes think. Ashton, feel free to correct me if I mix Si, E1, or cognitive style in. Sometimes it's hard to tell them apart.
I'll try politics. That's usually good for starting an argument. It is impossible to have a society without some form of government. Governments are meant to protect and organize the people, because chaos leads to malfunction and in this world countries without protection never last long. Oppressive governments are also bad. I'm not sure of the exact reasoning behind that, but it's a premise. Countries have peer pressure like Middle-Schoolers do. When the Israelites were being led by heroes and prophets chosen by God, who did their thing to save the country then stepped down, all their neighbors had kings. Their system worked, but they got a king anyway. Now it's popular to have a president. And the United States is the trendsetter who pressurizes the nerdy kids into changing their style. But is a president any more likely to protect, organize, and be unoppressive than a good king or a benevolent dictator? I doubt it.
That should have worked well since it was a fresh concept for me that I realized while typing.
I presented everything as a fact until the end, when I offered opinion. I think for Tis, when they present things as fact, they assume "I think" is still at the beginning of their claims, even though it isn't. So I see that not as someone who thinks differently, but as someone who is wrong.
