Taking another crack at implied's type

[Ezra]

he seems far more energetic than i am, basically, ever. i also don't see myself as churning out test after test after test like he does, regardless of how likely they are to be helpful. i mean, i think my own interest in socionics has sort of waned to the point that i'm hardly interested in throwing around this sort of thing. but even if it were a different subject matter, i couldn't see myself approaching it like he does. i also think he tends to do this thing where he'll take the subject matter and sort of throw his own interpretation on it, like many people who would be widely known as ISTp in socionics would be INFp by his interpretation. i try pretty hard not to do this, and i try to give at least what i think are semi-good reasons, at least if i'm asked for them.

if he were a student of mine, though, i'd probably be trying desperately to get him to slow down and take a slightly more step-by-step approach. i've heard gilly say, "hey, you really need to go back to square one and try to understand the functions first!" i think that isn't bad advice.

oh, the other thing is that i'm really not sure how some of these guys do it, but the 40-page long threads and such where the other person just goes, "no, i disagree with you because bla bla and i won't change my mind and there's no way you can get me to change my mind!" i honestly tend to find this whole process mind boggling. i just refuse to argue with brick walls. i just wonder why anyone bothers?

implied is DEFINITELY not the same type as dee, or even his mirror. She doesn't actively give a shit about socionics in the same way that dee does. As she says, she doesn't fire out all these tests and theories like dee does; neither at the rate he does, or at all. She's far more likely to just get involved in discussion if she feels like it.

I'd be prepared to say that she is an SEI and that dee isn't. dee I actually still think is a type who is strong in Ne. I think he values Ti, even if he's no good at it. I don't think implied cares about Ti at all, nor do I think she's strong in it.

[ScarlettLux]

I think implied is an ILI or an IEI, probably more the former

I don't think so. She doesn't strike me as a logical type. I'd say Alpha SF was more likely than any NT type.

Really? Perhaps ... but I just sense Beta/Gamma-ness around her, as I do put quite a bit of stock into the spirit of quadras and such.

The way she types seems to be very much against Ne to me oddly enough, and much more into Ni leading ... she reminds me of a mix of reyn_til_runa (less words!) and Starfall in the way they type. It's very fluid, yet always has a clear point that she follows, not bouncing around.

Also, any Alpha SF before any NT? Really? ESE? LOL I can see her being pissed the fuck off at an ESE

I just said Alpha SF more than NT. As in; I think she's more likely to be an SF than any NT.

[Gilly]

Ni-IEI is my best guess, I think. She seems Aristocratic to me; couldn't tell you why.

it's kinda what i thought, too, even before reading this.

implied gets along with everybody, classic IEI.

IEI isn't a crazy suggestion... it definitely makes more sense than Alpha SF.

[FDG]

Probably ESI, if not ILI, but much less likely than the former.

Btw, UDP are you hitting on her? Just curious.

[Socionics Is A Cult]

Btw, UDP are you hitting on her? Just curious.

Are you asking UDP this in order to make him think twice about hitting on her? Just interested. I have a black belt in karate. Though this is of no relevance.

I have a black karate in belt, and I'm asking this in order to about hitting on twice her UDP think him make. Relevance?

Did you leave out a word in that sentence, FDG? I don't understand.

Are you saying I ought to be thinking about hitting on Maria?

i think SEIs can be very interested in this sort of thing. i don't see intellectualism or an interest in theory as the hallmark of being NT at all or even N. i'm not sure what you're getting at here.

(and yes, i agree with you, joy, that INFp would seem more reasonable than ISFp or ESFj. scarlettlux is also plenty correct about me having had some bad times with some alpha SFs.) the only stereotypically SEI thing i think i really identify with is the ability to be quite calm.

[implied]

I really don't think this is type related. I don't think they're identicals either, but I don't think this is any argument for it. Implied just doesn't care as much about socionics.

honestly i believe i've sort of lost interest in being any sort of serious contributor. i'm really knee-deep in my other interests right now. /:
