    I don't think i've encountered an Fe PoLR to be so open about themselves as iannau is. Never seems to be IP temperament either. Interesting one.

    @Ann well yea i think because i dont have very good maybe i dont have a developed sense of taste . There are worst things than wine tasting i suppose, my dad used to have a wine cellar.

    I've seen this too.

    An IEE I know, every photo of him is either serious or goofy expression. Very little in-between. Once in a while, you get a good natural look, but rarely. And he's usually not sarcastic, although he can pull off a wry comment once in a while.

    Places that are FUN and EXCITING and LOUD with lots of COLOR and LIGHT! Boom, boom pow yay WHOOOO! whatever.

    But seriously, I think ENFp females are likely to be doing sort of cool crazy things like hang-gliding, sky-diving, etc. (those are really stereotypical, sorry), but also I think of ENFp females as going to concerts, even going to clubs "just to dance". Also, since many of them are artists/artistic, why not go to random performance festivals, visual art shows, and places like that? I'd focus especially on art that "resonates with you" or "tells a great story" or "has a really powerful theme". Sorry if I was generally overly stereotypical with all that.
    Not a rule, just a trend.

    IEI. Probably Fe subtype. Pretty sure I'm E4, sexual instinctual type, fairly confident that I'm a 3 wing now, so: IEI-Fe E4w3 sx/so. Considering 3w4 now, but pretty sure that 4 fits the best.

    Yes 'a ma'am that's pretty music...

    I am grateful for the mystery of the soul, because without it, there could be no contemplation, except of the mysteries of divinity, which are far more dangerous to get wrong.

    ENFps spend a lot of time trying to figure out which friends to spend time with. They're also fluid at meeting new people. Find a common interest, particularly something that would tweak Fi or delta values.

    And then understand their level of involvement and mirror it, and you should be able to make contact.

    Look for some places where it is easy to meet people yet is not in any way obligatory to speak with anyone. Concerts, galleries and especially all kinds of classes, be it photography, languages, arts or whatnot. Clubs probably ain't really a place even if it is very possible to meet them there, most likely though she is going to be with her friends and pay less attention to outsiders.

    I gotta admit, I have no hobbies that smack of Fi or delta values (maybe one, and I don't really do it that often). My hobbies are racing sailboats, belonging to a book club, designing clothes, biking, and dancing (except I can't find a partner. BLAH.)

    I think that might just be Ryu and your activist crowd. I think the thing is more that it's a Delta atmosphere or group. ie, laid back, casual sense of community, common ground in terms of interest, etc.

    I don't think the advice above is that useful.

    Altough IEEs are very friendly and make friends easily, I think most are loners.

    Being negativists, they requiere quite a bit of reassurance. I think most secretely test others, like becoming absent and so, to see if they are really interested in them. They can behave like introverts for that reason, expecting others to invite them to activities and so.

    You'll find them everywhere if you keep your eyes open. They are just normal people (don't idealize them that much). I don't think there are many places where they are abundant. Stay alert for oddities.

    Yeah, I think what matters most about socionics is that the people you are compatible with really are everywhere. You just have to pay attention to who you are most comfortable being around, not who immediately attracts your attention or gives you a mental thrill ride. (although in some cases that could be your dual) I dunno. I guess for SLIs it's probably more complicated, but I can usually separate what's fluff and what's substance, even with attraction involved.

    Tweaking Fi or delta values doesn't have to do with activism per se.
    I meant what you said in the rest of that post.

    How would you go about telling an SLI who doesn't know anything about socionics how to spot an IEE?

    Tell the SLI; 'Look for the guy in the hawaiian shirt'.

    But really, the descriptions I've read all seem to point out that IEEs tend to have an odd sense of clothing. That's perhaps the simplest thing you could tell someone without any knowledge of socionics. I guarantee 100% accuracy!

    Look for humanitarian causes.
    Someone who is very 'non-offensive'.
    Cute smile, pleasant to be around.
    Maybe a little scattered at times.
    Usually dresses with some sense of modesty, or, isn't inclined to reveal a lot or be dressy or slutty.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    The clothing style is an issue.
    Tell him to look for a goofy person.
    They'll probably be willing to eat anything.
    They'll also love to talk to people.

    To look for the invisible ones, the ones that don't stand out to him but he's likely to ignore, at least at frist glance. Or in other words, not to look very hard or beyond the potential surrounding him. It's said that duals don't notice each other and their super compatibility right away, but the feelings develop through interaction and as a post-realization. So I don't know if the idea of 'spotting' an IEE with certain 'pre-quirements' (especially too many) in mind would be an effective one.

    He might as well end up with an ESE... or an EII.

    Pretty scattered most of the time.

    I made a slight correction :wink:

    IEEs can also be pretty shy and slightly awkward.

    Tell him to learn socionics ; shortcuts aren't going to work as well.


    Rick says it takes about 5 years to know it well enough, I agree. It took me about 4 to feel truly 'confident' about it.
