Guesses and subjective impressions:


A: strong sensing, Fi? SEE I guess.
B: Gamma/Delta, intuitive, rational -- LIE I guess
C: IP. not so much into sensing or Fe -- ILI, I.g.
D: strong sensing, irrationality -- SEI I guess

I'd guess/observe the following --

a) Minde is best integrated in the group, perhaps less so with A
b) B and C are particularly close
c) B doesn't really mind D, but they're not really close.

Question:

What is it with opening their mouths when you take a picture? It's gross.

Question:

Don't you know? We Americans like to tout our costly dental work and vaunt our perfect molars. "I'll show you my molars if you show me yours" is a common game among adolescents. Opening our mouths wide to reveal the perfect state of our teeth is a way of asserting status and putting the less-endowed in their proper place.

I blame it on modern porno.

These girls look... uh... flamboyant.

Like young hookers.

They're so....expressive. I would find them difficult to be around. But they're kids so what can you expect.

You're not the first person to make an observation like that, but I guess I don't quite understand it. I always saw it as something exaggerative, expressive, and showing a certain amount of comfort and casual-feeling with whoever else is involved.

As for type guesses, after I thought it over for a while it looks like I came to the same conclusions as ifmd.

Interesting that you're all choosing Fi/Te-types for most of them.

Would it make any difference if I told you I quite liked them, that they're sweet, mature, kind girls, but that I find it difficult to hang out with them as a group. Their collective... enthusiasm(?) is tiring to keep up with. So instead I hug them and say yes to them when they ask me for things and tell them I love them and smile lots at them. That seems to work just fine in terms of them knowing I like them alright. While I don't find myself on social outings with them (for everyone's mutual comfort, I'm sure) we all like each other just fine.

I know and get along best with B (she's the one I hug the most). A would come right after her in that regard. I respect C a lot, but don't know her as well. D is the one I have the least connection to.

As far as the open mouths thing, I think that's exemplary of the type of behavior that drains me rather quickly.

Okay, one explanation is that they're all Gammas, that D is SEE (not SEI) and A is ESI (not SEE), what puts you off is the "collective Se" and above all D's Se. I think LIE for B and ILI for C rounds it up nicely.
