Visual identification, or "VI", as it is commonly called, refers to the process of identifying socionic types based on visual information alone. Depending what method the socionist has developed, this term may refer to any of the following:
diagnosing types based on photographs or their appearance and movements in video
diagnosing types based on people's appearance and movements in real life
using the above as part of the type diagnosis process, but not exclusively
Most often, among enthusiasts, to VI someone means making a guess about a type based on photographs.
Check it out...there's even a stickied thread about this on this very forum.

This method is known as "Visual Identification." Videos are highly preferable, but if you choose to post pictures (and you certainly don't have to), I strongly recommend that you
1) post multiple pictures, if possible, and
2) post more than just pictures (i.e. description)
Personally, for visual identification I prefer to have dozens of pictures (or better, someone's whole facebook account), but this is a forum, and there are issues with privacy and space. If you follow these guidelines, the typings you get will be more accurate.
Not to mention I already got typed via text explanations earlier.
