Is this a pattern of yours to create threads which are not true to get a reaction? I like it! :lol:
I wish IEIs are loud people, because I'm quite soft-spoken and I often have kids around me asking me why I speak so softly. I think being soft-spoken is a weakness, given how people around me often questioned me about my soft-speaking voice.
most IEIs I know are super timid, and would be described as lacking confidence and super quiet. I don't think this is necessarily really the case, but its how they come across at first glance. I think the idea that there's all these outgoing IEI celebrity types running around is more the exception than the rule
I sort of think Jared Leto is IEI, but if your point is the exception is rare to non existent I tend to agree
The thing is you're actually right. The creative function is what one puts out into the world, in the case of the IEI they have Fe in that position therefore they tend to be very expressive and can possibly come across as Fe Base. In addition, they use this function "on" people so they are not only expressive beings, but they also want to draw other people out as well, but it will always have a long run aspect to it.
They are creators of emotional context whether it's purpose is to make everyone in the group feel good or direct their anger towards one person and literally explode on them in what they say. (This is attractive to SLE)
Finally, they love drama and emotional conflict because it allows them to fix the emotional issue, this also means they tend to create drama.
So essentially, this is a type with very dynamic emotions that can sometimes match or surpass an Fe base. (due to the fact Fe base is inert.)
A few things I've found useful in understanding them.
"Almost no one else knows how to mercilessly say harsh words and furiously quarrel, amplifying his emotional influence, as the IEI. The IEI knows how to burn someone by words as if by red hot metal, masterfully applying words enough for his partner to learn the lesson and draw the conclusions from his own errors and to try to as soon as possible correct them, in order not to repeat hence. Again, such ethical influence is psychologically oriented at his dual, Zhukov (SLE), at his inert emotions and somewhat coarse ethics. That which for Zhukov is nothing more than an effective method of emotional activation, for others (more sensitive personalities) can be unbearably trying." - Stratiyevskaya
"Loves finding negative relations between people and changing them into positive, bringing people together. When there is no necessity to change anything on his personal front, may deliberately spoil relations so that he can mend them later i.e. find work for his creative function." - Dmitry Golihov
It's always hard to say I relate to being loud and expressive as an IEI. But I am loud and expressive. It's just I hate talking, which makes for a bit of an unexpected combination where no one sees my emotions coming.
And how can I be loud and expressive yet silent at the same time? I just have a shotgun for a mouth. I say things in a way that gets to the point, tells people my intentions, even if a bit vaguely. It's kinda a form of anxiety disorder actually, I always hated wasting people's time so I've always been the type to find a way to express & summarize my thoughts as quickly as possible.
Also I relate to causing drama to use my creative Fe on. I do get bored easily.
