Videotype My Friend!

[aestrivex]

SEI. In light of the recent typings of multiple politicians as SEI, determination is certainly something SEIs can have.

who? warren G harding?

Make one more video, ask him more about his social behavior and he feels when he's around people he's familiar/unfamilar with.

I think that would help us some more.

But as they said, I think he's either SEI/IEI, but EIE is a possibility, maybe.

[ScarlettLux]

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah, funny thing is, he tests ENFP and I suppose the Socionic ENFp does fit him pretty well in terms of the order of the functions, etc ... I do see that he is Si/Ne valuing too Ezra, that is probably where most of our conflict comes from actually, me valuing Se/Ni and him not. However, the intertype relations for ENFp do not fit at all - Quasi-identical relations is not right ... I know some real IEEs and I can barely converse with them because we seem to be on entirely different wavelengths. He doesn't give me that vibe at all. Also, Delta quadra seems way off as well.

Plus, he hangs around with a shitload of Beta NFs, a lot of male IEIs. Err, actually I don't know if I should say that b/c these were based on MBTI tests. However, I have interacted with them as well and they do come across as IEI. It's just him that's a little off!

I just see a lot of usage in him, but also a lot of ... SEI is a good thought, but I think his is WAY too strong to be a 5th function. He seems very oblivious to physical reality most of the time, eyes always wandering around, not down to Earth.

He seems to get along well in an Alpha-Beta atmosphere. I think I do get really annoyed if the randomness is taken too far. I'd rather stick to one topic, and I need my daily dose of , which he seems averse to.

Okay, he'll join soon and write a description on himself.

question: why do you people even mention MBTI tests, let alone assume ABCD = ABCd. this is getting ridiculous. do you even know what socionics is?

You people? You people? Call yourself Democratic?

Anyway, ScarlettLux is not assuming that ABCD = ABCd, which is why she specifically stated that IEE fits from a functional point of view. All she's suggesting is that the possibility of her friend's being an IEE should not be ruled out, just because ABCD = ABCd is incorrect. He may well be both an IEE and an ENFP.

Thanks for saying what I would've said...
Niffy, don't be so quick to criticize all the time! I'm not a total blockhead.

Anyway, all these points are good and make sense. One thing though - what makes you say he's a 9? He actually tested a 7w6 sx/so ... that I'm pretty sure of, but to be honest, before he took the test and confirmed it with reading descriptions, I thought he had a strong connection to 9, if not was 9. I personally believe he's trying too hard to be different from the typical 9 behavior now of seeking peace, calmness ... hm, it's kinda like I influenced him into valuing when he really doesn't. I read him descriptions of & and he really doesn't like or identify with it. He actually says his pet peeve is someone ordering him around, etc.

Shit, he may be my best friend all over again. ENFP, IEE, 7w6 sx/so. What else can we know about him?

My friend is an ENFP and an IEE. But he certainly does not take that attitude when it comes to filming.

Actually, it depends what he's filming for. He's very good at putting masks on. IEEs are.

Also, Delta quadra seems way off as well.

Delta is what I'd consider last. In fact, the quadras go in order of what I'd consider him.

He seems very oblivious to physical reality most of the time, eyes always wandering around, not down to Earth.

a) He 'seems'.
b) He's a 9. Of course his eyes are going to be wondering.
c) None of this means his Ne is overtly strong. There are little things I could point out which makes me seem too strong in Ni to be an SLE.

Join the club. This kind of behaviour is a pain.

I need my daily dose of , which he seems averse to.

Since you said he hangs around with Beta NFs, this would fit nicely for him. Okay, Beta NFs value Se, but they don't use it. Since he doesn't value it, he'd be quite happy hanging around with these people. So what if they want it; at least they don't use it, he probably thinks.

[Mediator Kam]

do you even know what socionics is?

no.
