Change of Basic Attitude

[Waddlesworth]

If a person is an introvert who extroverts or vice versa, do you think that the person is more likely to become their mirror or their contrary? Or something else?

That is, if there is a major attitude change in the person in which they redirect their energy to the inside or outside, do you think that the person switches to the auxiliary function or reverses their lead function?

To make this even simpler: does become or ?

No right or wrong answers that can be confirmed by fact as I know of, so who would like to discuss?

Contrary IMO. When I'm extroverted, I'm much more like an ENFp then I am an ENFj.

Is it a rational vs. irrational thing?

and you know, I think I agree with that. In fact, I used to be close friends with an SEI and he kind of made me play the role of extravert in our friendship and I really think I came across as ENFp to him (not that he knows anything about socionics, but you know what I mean). lol

i'm so e that i don't think i'd even flip to this. when i'm being different or under stress, i'm prolly more like a LIE than anything else.

lol. yeah introverts flip to extraversion but not usually the reverse. this is an introvert thing.

I think I behave more like my Mirror type.

I seem to morph into a manic SLE. Sometimes it feels good.

Personally I don't believe that types change, but of course there's no definitive answer. For example, a depressed EIE is just a depressed EIE, not an EII or an IEI (no matter how "introverted" they act).
