    When we start droning in monotone, it can go on for a long time, which for some TIMs is a serious test of their nervous system. Stopping the process is quite simple – shift our attention to something else. Better option – kiss us.
    Check.

    Yes yes yes...sorry for all those who don't get my trust quickly, that's because I am very skeptical and suspicious.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    Alas, I fear EIIs rarely have anything of value.

    "Exploitation" in this article was in reference to parts in EII profiles mentioning how they have trouble turning down requests, and spend xyz hours listening and sympathizing with others, and generally have trouble turning people away, and how LSEs may overwork them. It's an interplay of the stereotypes which, at least on Russian forums, those typing into "Dostoyevskies" poke fun at themselves, not meant to be interpreted literally though I can see Jim's point too.

    This was probably the most interesting part for me:

    Answer: from pathological feeling of shame, which is common to all Dostoevskies, without exception. It's a form of manifestation of shame ... shame of the sort that God forbid others to see the true manifestation of the soul – the tenderness, gentleness, meekness, loving heart ...
    several EIIs I've known would seem to periodically experience something like this i.e. feel very ashamed and self-critical for what to me would seem like a very small blunder

    i've seen a couple of sets for LSEs ... can you link the "hilarious" one you're talking about? if it's not too long I may translate it

    LSE conserve my energy and protect me against people who seek my attention. They size up the chatty attention seeking ones and tell me beforehand, "that person is experiencing these things (having viewed what's going on in an external behavioral sense) you should stay clear of them." At least the good ones do. Oh lord, if I had a list of friends who seek hours of my attention, it would be LONG. And, LSE see what's most important to be done, so if I sometimes get bored and want to clean, they'll say "everything's fine, don't clean."

    Duality works so well when people love each other and know this about each other.

    I don't make a good match with SLI because they're too self involved to care enough about what others are doing in the external sense and therefore care enough about protecting me, internally; externally, they are wonderful at protecting their family, this I can appreciate them for very much; internally SLI are pleasureful.

    Makes me so sad to think of these situations of duality that I love so much.

    Nope, I don't. You have the standard IEE ways of engagement and discussion, which are an enjoyable waste of time and not the EII bad waste of time, which I consider akin to an international phone call when the line keeps crackling and the other person can't hear you.

    Correction: Actually, that's not a full answer, there are a few older EIIs who are good company. 35 years plus with a bit of common sense seems to be the prerequisite however.

    Good thing I very rarely lie. When I do it's to stay out of trouble with authorities, not to stay out of trouble interpersonally. I may fail to volunteer information (do that a fair amount, actually), but I almost never lie.

    @silke, excellent post.

    Praises should be given very carefully, preferably only to the point and on suggestive [function] – for diligence, a well selected combination (if you are sure that the choice was made without external input), for successful practical realization of any ideas.
    I find that most people, including EIIs, enjoy being appreciated for their ego functions. They do find direct compliments a bit awkward though. Sometimes just flatly telling them that they've been a big help or whatever is better.

    Dissatisfied expression on your face caused by problems at work, headache, or loss of your favorite sports team in 95% of cases will be taken on our own account and we will feel like we are at fault (if other causes are unknown). LSEs, don't be such conspirators!!
    This has not been my experience, at least with my husband (who I'm pretty sure is EII). I have to be yelling, saying mean things, or throwing things (not that this has happened more than a few of times) before he realizes that I'm upset. :-/

    When we start lecturing and droning in monotone, it can go on for a long time. For some TIMs this is a serious test of their nerves. Stopping the process is quite simple: shift our attention to something else. Better option – kiss us.
    I've not experienced this, either.


    Other than those couple of things it seems to line up pretty well with my experience.

    Yeah, ExTx like to say this about themselves.
