ENFp (Unsure of Subtype)
"And the day came when the risk it took to remain closed in a bud became more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anaïs Nin
The same here. I would like to be a crazy granny like my ESFp grandma, if I had a possibility to choice my late years. She drives a car 100km/h, travels a lot, paints pictures and goes to parties with her friends. This prospect is quite optimistic barring age limit.
Thanks . I can say that this name is my substance . My family says I don't eat properly, but I love eating chocolate too much hahah.
IEE. subtype.
Wow. I'm glad I don't have these intuitions. I'm going to be an old person like my ENFp grandmother. I have no idea how old she really is because she's so full of life and she relates really well with us grandkids. (Yeah, if I really wanted to know I'd just look up her b-day somewhere.)
or it could just be that all SLIs are buddhists.
seriously, i don't see what's so hard to understand about not wanting to be too attached to a life/world that could end at any moment.
"attachment is the root of all suffering...."
there's nothing morbid or anti-Ni about it. it just is.
whenever the dog and i see each other we both stop where we are. we regard each other with a mixture of sadness and suspicion and then we feign indifference.

You know what? You're an individual, and that makes people nervous. And it's gonna keep making people nervous for the rest of your life. - Ole Golly from Harriet, the spy.
I believe I've only met one or two ISTps that I can remember, and I think what's most appealing about them is their flexibility with me, they don't mind my mood changes or if I get bored of something, and for guys they are rather "emotional tolerant," I barely even know what I mean by that, it just seemed appropriate. They also made me feel special because it was like I was one of the few people who get them to emote, and there was something unexplainable that was attractive. Unfortunately for the most recent one, he and I have no common interests so it makes our relationship extremely dull, because we don't really have much to talk about and he's a bit into the sex too much =P
I do that with people whom I feel won't judge me for every little thing I say. I feel you guys are real good at not making me feel judged.

Did someone say ice cream? =D
God, PLEASE, someone bring me some ice cream!! It is 80 degrees in my office, I am melting out of my chair, and I can't think!! *cranky*
It's 50 in my office all year round no matter what. Makes for a fun time when it's -30 out in the winter.
This is so me! No one seems to understand my sense of humor! My FIL has kind of an odd sense of humor, which I like; I get his jokes, but instead of instantly laughing I will play along like it's serious, trying to joke along and I just get this look from him like, "I was making a joke, you didn't get it!"That does seem to describe how my IEE friend is around her duals. She comes up with zany little comments all the time and they just don't blink, and roll with whatever she says. They also don't make a big deal out of it, like call attention to it being a joke, but rather 'accept' the reality of it and play it deadpan. Umm, maybe I'm explaining this badly. I'll try to give an example.

Input, PLEASEAnd thank you
I'm resurrecting an old post! My apologies, but I have to chime in because this is me and my husband in EVERY way!!
I'm fairly certain that I'm IEE (very much Ne leading, and always wanting to bond via sharing Ne and Introverted Ethics about ourselves, experiences, etc).
My husband.. I'm not entirely sure what he is, but this sounds very much like him. I would show up for a date dressed to the NINES. I'm talking hair done professionally, form fitting dress, high heels, tasteful perfume, turning heads as I walk to him... and he won't say a thing. Yet four days later, he might make a comment to me or to someone else that I was the hottest girl in the room. But somehow it never occurred to him at that time to tell me that I looked pretty. Nor did he show any emotion or reaction to me when he first saw me.
And yet, he'll cry at the end of the Dark Knight Rises, because it was done to such perfection.
I'm so confused, but it has me fascinated!

Holy shit! My husband MUST be ISTp! SAME thing! He tells me all the time that he's going to die young, and that he's always known. He's too afraid to check his blood pressure, because he seems to think it's always high, and he truly doesn't see himself living past 60.
(Again, sorry- I'm reviving these really old posts, but I just got married and I'm trying to make sense of it all! And apparently I only have 30 years left with this man!)

I was actually thinking similarly. For example:
That does not seem IEE-ish at all. IEE dont understand perfume, and stereotypically dont know what to do with their hair. Also high heels are the epitome of uncomfortable, and i dont think an IEE would be one to trade comfort for being dressed to kill.
I dont know about strictly calling you ESE, but I would peg you as someone fairly competent with Se and Si. And also extravert. So consider SEE, ESE, SLE, LSE.
If you see Ne in a positive light, you may VALUE Ne, in which case you might be ESE or LSE. But Ne egos tend to have trouble with looking sharp, even when they want to. They also tend to not be aware of people's heads turning.
oh and yeah @Daft21, ime EIIs and LIIs are the HORRIBLE health nuts. the Si-HA's go wayyy overboard with the hypochondria and reaction to it... Si egos tend to automatically take care of their health without a big to-do about it, especially SLIs who are Mr. & Ms. Practicals (LSEs too for that matter). LSEs though tend to overdo the workaholism, imo.

But can you really go so far as to say that an IEE can't wear perfume or a dress? Truth be told, I try my hardest to make my outfits match or look decent, but they never seem to gel. Nor do my socks EVER match. But it's not all that hard to pick a dress. When you start adding additional items, it gets a little complicated for me. That, and I'm usually unkempt and happy about it, until my self-esteem starts to suffer, and I realize I need to step up my game.
ESE.. IEE.. I guess it'd be hard to tell over text either way. I need a personal interview! Tinychat broadcast intervention!

I know you didn't mean as strictly as written, but I did want to clarify a bit...
We don't know how often she dressed to the nines, nor what kinds of problems, if any, which dressing up may have led to during the process, nor even what she considers 'to the Nine'. There's nothing in socionics that says that NeFi won't nor can't dress up once in a while, doing makeup, doing hair, wearing a nice dress, wearing some heels for a while. The heels might come off rather quickly, but they're only needed for that brief entrance, heh. Some form fitting dresses can even be made from comfy material. But even if not, it's a temporary thing, usually of a social nature, especially when having an interest in someone's opinion. NeFi do have Se role and demonstrative Fe.
There is also nothing about NeFi that suggests that they wouldn't be aware of turning heads. Again, 4D Fe. Now, in my younger years I would dress up once in a while to go dancing, and I did turn heads. i usually would quickly check to make sure my skirt was down, my top wasn't too far down, and there was no TP caught on my heels. And I might have worried about my makeup and the change of lighting and been horrified at the resulting image. However, I'm not a particularly confident person, and was even less so back then. Applejacks strikes me as more confident of herself, but nothing that was quoted necessarily means Not NeFi.
Perhaps you have other reasons for questioning her type. I would just be hesitant about doing so based on the quoted material.

@applejacks, IEE can and do wear perfume.

Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?
I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE
