The way Aylen's ideas and beliefs are expressed are very direct. She puts her beliefs before compromising to accomodate others.

Other than that insane picture of the metal head you provided -- what would an ILI look, act, and be like in your view?

Rat is not IEI He said so himself in that thread. I told you when you joined you expressed yourself similar to me. Remember? I felt that with @darya too

That's why I still think EIE and ILI are in the running. Many of the descriptions of the interior life of the EIE are spot on. If an EIE then a social introvert; the thinking style and social introversion of the ILI makes sense, however not how oblivious they are to Fe...but I still think IEI is a strong possibility.

I went through the dichotomies one by one and in the process eliminated until I was pretty sure of my results but I was seriously considering EII but I don't feel I am like any of the EII here.. :content:
I realized that analyzing each one was the logical thing to do instead of reading descriptions of different types that fit a little bit and some that were closer but not where it counted. I know why I can appear EII to some but once you get to know me I am pretty sure the difference is blatant.

Anyway, I test IEI too but breaking it down it was easier to choose traits that fit instead of answering questions that I did not completely understand the context of until I read about the dichotomies. A lot of it is intuition too. I use my inner reactions of attraction/repulsion and then I drew a tarot card to confirm...for good measure.
:hide:

I don't even think the EII's would welcome me as one of their own. hahahah

People are so complex that unless you interact with them personally and share info you can't really tell what they are by random posts.

Edit: I also remember telling you that you would meet your dual somewhere in this thread when I "read" you. Did it happen yet? :biggrin:

Ooh that is good. He could be. That would explain a lot of what I felt.

Edit: this caused an intuitive spark within me when I read it based on my memory of interactions. I made some connections.

You're right about the test questions being asked out of context and therefore difficult to interpret -- there should instead be a test that measure one's type based upon demonstration of personality traits, i.e. associations, visual and auditory responses, etc. like the idea of the Socionics Color Test, even though it's poorly constructed.

Unless you count the hated encounters with douchebag ESTps, then no I haven't met my dual. wahwaaaaaahhh

I just can't see you as ILI. You're too...arrg can't think of the right word. I want to say "jovial"

oh, please... I just can't see it at all. I mean, I can be convinced with good reasoning, as I don't know what @McBain's type is... but that's like the last thing that'd come to mind.

SEI isn't horrible and it would explain dialectical-algorithmic, introversion, and Fe. but he seems intelligent and if he identifies so much with Ni, i'm not comfortable just dismissing that out of hand.
