    Default Type me

    Hello I'm new here! I'd appreciate if you could help type me.

    Here's a description of myself. I'm a laidback person who tries to survive by doing the least possible work. I take about 1 year in a new environment before opening up to make friends. Once I open up and relax, I make friends very easily. I also have a tendency to hop from cliques to cliques and I am close to different cliques.

    However, I'm very bad at answering the phone or replying messages. I do not like people to rush me and when that happens, I have a tendency to tune them out. I am also very wary of nice people because I think they can manipulate people better.

    I love to play classical guitar, relax at the pool, check out restaurants, Wong Kar Wai films and listen to Radiohead. I have no problems hanging out alone or going shopping alone. I sometimes do that because I am lazy to call my friends out.

    Thanks!

    My first instinct was infp, your wariness of nice people sounds Delta-phobic. (I have the same fear actually..... like it's just all a ruse and if they really cared about me they'd risk something dangerous to be with me, or something)

    SEI. The "not wanting to be rushed" sounds typical of devalued Ni/Se/Te.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    First choice - SEI

    If not that, then SLI, but that's less likely than SEI

    Hello all, thank you for responding!

    The description in the website doesn't really sound like me. I'll just try to analyze the ego block because it seems to be the best indicator of my type.

    1. Introverted Sensing:
    It is possible that I can recognize internal physical states well. I have a tendency to make myself feel as comfortable as possible, in whatever surroundings I find myself in.

    However I'm not really artistic, although I really want to be because I think artistic types are so cool. I tried water color painting once and it was a disaster. All my friends laughed at all my paintings and said it looked like some kid painted it.

    Also, my living space is really messy. I have to leave things lying around to be
    able to use them. If I don't, I forget entirely about their existence. I've only started to file my notes very recently.

    2. Extroverted ethics:
    Not really good at influencing the surrounding atmosphere. I could be cheery and talk to everybody but I cannot keep up with it. After a while, I just fade into the background where I just sit and absorb the atmosphere.

    LOL what a long post. I hope that helps!

    IP Temperment.

    I take about 1 year in a new environment before opening up to make friends. Once I open up and relax, I make friends very easily. I also have a tendency to hop from cliques to cliques and I am close to different cliques.
    Practically the story of my life friend-wise, although I wouldn't say I take a whole year.
    However, I'm very bad at answering the phone or replying messages. I do not like people to rush me and when that happens, I have a tendency to tune them out.
    I was phone-phobic for SO LONG. I got over it, but I still prefer to email people I don't know rather than call them, if possible. The only thing here that would classically indicate not-Ni-ego is that "don't rush me" bit, (generally attributed to Ni-superegos, at least in some descriptions I've read), but that really doesn't matter. I don't particularly like to be rushed either, although I do secretly like being in a hurry, as long as I know that I can accomplish the goal by hurrying.

    I am also very wary of nice people because I think they can manipulate people better.
    I agree that this sounds delta-fearing. But it's also just wisdom period.

    I love to play classical guitar, relax at the pool, check out restaurants, Wong Kar Wai films and listen to Radiohead. I have no problems hanging out alone or going shopping alone. I sometimes do that because I am lazy to call my friends out.
    The only Radiohead song I know is "Creep," but I really love that song. Actually, that's not true. I also know "Reckoner." I don't like that one as well, but it's still good. And that hanging out alone bit is SO me. So, you sound like a potential IEI to me, although it's good to be wary with IEI typings, because, as someone pointed out, it's often the default typing people start with. Still... you seem pretty IEI.
    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.
