    Default Tcaud\\'s Dual-typing thread

    I am performing dual-type diagnoses, this thread only.

    Things I need to know to diagnose your dual-type:
    - your sociotype
    - what you are good at
    - what kinds of work you enjoy / career
    - what job you have now
    - your hobbies
    - whether you enjoy athletic sports
    - what you are notably bad at / careers you think you would fail in
    - what you try to avoid doing.
    - what a romantic relationship most means to you. Your criterion for leaving / recognizing when a relationship isn't working out.

    Please also report your identification according to the EM dichotomies.

    *UPDATED* with new criterion.

    These descriptions have not been heavily researched. They may be hit or miss in places.


    Ssmall: IEE-LII. (still working on it).

    Cyclops: SLI-ILI. You see success and failure all around you. You know what plans are feasible and whether or not they will be of help. You are considered somewhat unpleasant however, and are quite antagonistic without actually meaning to be. You make people angry very easily. Hold your tongue when people make your uncomfortable by your behavior, and you won\'t have to deal with their emotional outbursts. When it comes to evaluating potential friends, you are reserved. You have your own criterion for evaluating these and will not force these criterion on anyone else. You avoid counseling people about who they should meet or who they should know. You believe people will only be fair if they have motivation for such, and that everyone has a different motivation. You believe these motivations should be respected. Somebody always seems to be picking fights with somebody else over their ideas, but these aren\'t particularly interesting to you. You do believe, however, that people have a duty to stand up for and defend their ideas and their beliefs. If a person defends their idea successfully, you will consider adopting their logic.

    Why your exertion type isn\'t SLI: SLI EM people tend to focus on artistic pursuits. You didn\'t mention these so I assumed ILI. Also, SLI EM people tend to be kinda ambivalent about scientific empiricism. However you prize it, which is in line with ILI EM \"show me the facts\" thinking.


    ...Subtype is definitely important to the diagnostic process. I\'ll have to add it to the list.

    I am performing dual-type diagnoses, this thread only.

    Things I need to know to diagnose your dual-type:
    - your sociotype

    ILI
    - what you are good at
    competitive strategy, critiquing liberal arts oriented topics, appreciating and experiencing most forms of liberal art including video games .. (lol), debating, math, playing with things in my short term memory
    - what kinds of work you enjoy / career
    competitive environments and liberal arts oriented environments. im thinking psychology. i look at psychology as a test to see how much i can know about a person and how much i can fix them. otherwise, i would of enjoyed being a critic of some kind.
    - your hobbies
    i play alot of real time strategy video games. i think about socionics nonstop. i spend a fair bit of time critiquing and perfecting my personal new age religious thinking.

    yeah when i was a kid i was very into baseball, i love watching football
    - what you are notably bad at / careers you think you would fail in
    anything customer service or food related im miserable doing. paperwork oriented tasks annoy me. anything where people have power over me and actively manage me annoys me. working hard doesn't bother me. if i don't like the people i work with i will quit my job. i would fail working with kids and get bored working with animals. i couldn't be a doctor because it takes too much caring for details.

    Sounds about right.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    Things I need to know to diagnose your dual-type:
    - your sociotype

    IEI

    - what you are good at

    good with people when I'm in the mood. can do anything with the right motivation. good at listening, going along with other people's plans, good follower and can inspire others to action. good at writing (or at least some people have told me this), musical, emotionally strong.


    - what kinds of work you enjoy / career

    work with plenty of freedom that allows me to work at my own pace without someone breathing down my neck. would love to have an independent business but would need a business partner since I suck at that stuff. I would probably be a good writer/editor/photographer or psychologist. however, at the moment I'm a stay-at-home mom. would also enjoy graphic design as long as it's low-key, low-pressure, deadline driven is fine but nothing super fast paced. I do like being around people to some degree, just not forced to interact with them constantly. I once worked at a bookstore and that job was such a dream. helped people find books but had a lot of quiet time also. of course it paid crap but what can you do.

    - your hobbies

    spinnning, weaving, knitting, photography, motorcycling, piano, singing--ha ha, I just read that list and realized that everything is a solitary activity except for singing, which I do in a choir.

    - whether you enjoy athletic sports

    not really. I'm okay with watching it on tv occasionally. like college football. I like to play ping pong and tennis. overall, sports are basically a distraction from real life, which sometimes can be good but other times is just boring and makes me feel like other people are wasting their lives and then I feel kinda depressed.

    - what you are notably bad at / careers you think you would fail in

    bad at business stuff & careers where you have to evaluate a lot of dry information. bad at conjuring up my own motivation for things. I would fail at things that require huge amounts of discipline and structure. I'm horrible at organizing anything from papers to parties. I can do it but not without a huge amount of mental effort and concentration and I end up feeling completely drained afterwards. For example, when my kids have a birthday, I usually suggest a fun activity or family trip rather than an actual large birthday party because I'm just so bad at it and it stresses me out. All the details and stuff. yuck.

    Redbaron: what is being organized, usually?

    ...It may take as long as a month to get back to you about all these. If you could be more specific and work the ol\' noggin\', that would help too. In some places I can\'t tell whether something is due to IM or EM. Might be a good idea to try not to think about socionics when you describe yourself. At all. Just tell me what your first impression of your abilities and talents is. The less you think with socionics, the better because that leads to abstraction away from specific talents and interests.

    okay, I'll go back and add more to mine. And don't worry about getting back to this quickly, I'm in no rush whatsoever.

    Things I need to know to diagnose your dual-type:
    - your sociotype

    ILE

    - what you are good at

    Philosophy, generating imaginative content (sci-fi fantasy worlds, creatures, events, objects, etc, but easily used for mundane purposes as well), political economics, arguing (better irl), I'm funny (people tell me so at least), using past information to systematize a situation to make it consistent with seemingly unrelated situations.

    But what I'm best at is being able to quickly pick up new models (of whatever subject) and almost instantly begin improving them.


    - what kinds of work you enjoy / career

    My ideal job would be a very casual office setting, where I would research, present my findings to my coworkers, and possibly plan seminars on the research. Think tankish I guess, or possibly a college professor.

    - your hobbies

    Socionics, social sciences, Live action roleplaying, table-top battle gaming, computer gaming, exercising, drugs.

    - whether you enjoy athletic sports

    I do not. I enjoy atheletic things like capture the flag, LARPing, hiking, but I have always been turned off by professional sports.

    - what you are notably bad at / careers you think you would fail in

    I'm bad at letting things go, expressing myself properly, being outgoing, flirting (on command that is), getting shit done not last minute, and doing things I don't understand the reasoning for.

    A repetitive office job, something physically laborious, something where I'd need to carefully attend to details (I hate labs), working with people in an empathetic or servile way (I would make a good career counselor though), or anything that is dirty. Also I could not work somewhere intimidating, bureaucratic, or where things must be done quickly and without mistakes or I will be yelled at.
    ...
    The end is nigh

    All the people making typings in this thread are making wild ass guesses so it hardly needs to be announced in here.

    - your sociotype

    EII

    - what you are good at

    listening, offering alternative perspectives about personal issues to help shift emotional perception, writing when i'm in the mood, organizing things

    - what kinds of work you enjoy / career

    things that combine administrative/organizational tasks and working with people

    - what job you have now

    administrative assistant

    - your hobbies

    reading, occasionally writing, walking.. i don't think i have as many hobbies as a person probably should lol. does daydreaming count?

    - whether you enjoy athletic sports

    no

    - what you are notably bad at / careers you think you would fail in

    anything that depends a lot on physical/environmental awareness like driving a semi or police work or anything that requires putting pressure on people like sales or bill collection

    - what you try to avoid doing.

    imposing myself, jumping to conclusions

    - what a romantic relationship most means to you. Your criterion for leaving / recognizing when a relationship isn't working out.


    mutual happiness is good, but i think what constitutes a relationship is the willingness and commitment to work through things when happiness isn't present. i think mutual understanding and respect are the most important things in the long run.

    a relationship isn't working out when the people consistently misunderstand each other or lose respect for one another.

    Please also report your identification according to the EM dichotomies.

    deep>shallow

    routine>adventurous

    spontaneous>deliberate

    reliant>motivated

    inaccurate>accurate

    restrained>excitable

    i'm not sure if i understand formulaic/arithmetic. but i think i fall in the arithmetic category. i'm awful at math? heh

    tolerant>argumentative

    harmonious>aggressive

    i don't understand fictionalist/nonfictionalist?

    i have a hard time deciding between concrete/abstract. i lean towards concrete.

    You might as well randomize the typings. Actually, I think that's exactly what's going on.

    I hardly have enough information to make any sort of decision on what her main type is, let alone assign speculative labels as to traits of hers that are even more detailed and specific than those covered by the main type.

    I\'m not even going to argue with her on what her IM type is. But the EM type can be very easily diagnosed so long as people are specific about their activities and preferences.

    It's a ridiculous thing to believe that the main type doesn't influence a person's activities and interests. This is what you're implying and I can not take it seriously. I don't think anyone on this forum can when they think about it.

    I am performing dual-type diagnoses, this thread only.

    Things I need to know to diagnose your dual-type:
    - your sociotype

    IEI.

    - what you are good at

    Acting, singing, performing, writing, all things school but especially English/literature, being cheerful (when I feel like being cheerful), listening (when I care about what the other person has to say). Ostensibly I'm good at making friends, but sometimes I'm too shy/uncertain to until I have a good base of friends, paradoxically enough. I'm honestly really good at reading/writing (literary essays and poetry mostly. I usually fail at narrative fiction). Actually, that listening one might be bs. I mean, I generally listen well to (people who I think are) SLEs. Most other types I take over the conversation generally. I can be good with people, especially when among introverts, wherein I can play the extrovert. I did that a lot with a close friend of mine who is ILI.

    - what kinds of work you enjoy / career

    Acting, singing, performing, writing. I would consider a career in academia, but I fear it would be too sedentary, that it wouldn't have the energy buzz and the variety of completely different activities and everything that a theater has. So ideally: playwright/professor, or something combining teaching books, reading books, writing books, and doing something theater related. Also, I (half-jokingly) promised my high school theater friends that I would move back to my home town and start a repetory theater that we could all be in. That would actually be amazing/ideal, as long as I could still teach smart students at a local college (or even high school) or find somewhere to discuss literature with people.

    - your hobbies

    Acting, singing, performing, writing... no, but seriously, I mostly do theater as a "hobby" if you can call it that. I also sing in an a cappella group, and I read and write a lot in my spare time. I also like hanging out with people without a purpose, just doing stuff or even just sitting around and talking if the conversation is an interesting topic. As long as no one will get offended, I could argue about things forever (except politics and maybe science, since I no longer really believe in either). So my life essential consists of people and art. I don't really do anything else, except read philosophy and sometimes do the bs work I have to do for non-text-based classes.

    - whether you enjoy athletic sports

    No sports. Ever. I suck at all of them. I've never played on an organized sports team in my life. I kinda wish I had, and I might enjoy some of them if I didn't suck *so hard* at them.

    - what you are notably bad at / careers you think you would fail in

    Athlete, elementary school teacher (ugh!), anything menial or repetitive (like an IRS job. I might literally shoot myself), but really (not to be conceited), I can pretty much learn anything that is not physical in nature. The question is more about whether or not I will have the drive/energy/will to waste my time on something that doesn't attract me because it's interesting, fun, will let me meet cool new people, etc. Also, I think I'm an OK dancer after practice, but I'm generally a pretty awful dancer. How to work my own body in ways that are at all complicated is a complete mystery to me. Also also: paperwork. I put it off so long that it ends up not getting done. Also, I tend to avoid unpleasant situations where all the work I *haven't* done will be exposed as things that I should have done and failed to do.
    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.

    - your sociotype

    LII-Ne, probably creative subtype in the DCNH system

    - what you are good at

    The short version: and

    The long version: Thinking and analyzing, organizing information and things, seeing the possibilities in things, good imagination, developing conceptual models, good sense of humor (debatable), finding spelling and grammar errors , puzzles and brainteasers, my job, finding information, computer and techie stuff, instructing others.

    - what kinds of work you enjoy / career

    I am a LIIbrarian and for the most part I'm very satisfied with my work. What I like best about my work is the constant opportunity to learn new information and develop new skills, helping others with their information needs, and knowing that you're making an important difference in the community. I love developing programs for the library including library instruction and storytimes.

    - your hobbies
    Socionics and other personality theories, surfing the Internet (I spend way more time on the Internet than I know is healthy for me), listening to a wide variety of music, traveling and exploring new places, reading, science, psychology, learning, trying out new restaurants, taking pictures, games and puzzles. (I'm currently addicted to Bewjewled Blitz)

    - whether you enjoy athletic sports
    Not particularly because I suck at them. I've dabbled in different sports when I was younger and failed miserably each time. To me, much of the enjoyment of something comes from the sense of mastery and improvement and sports was not satisfying that need. I suppose I might have been decent if I spent more time practicing. I found practicing tedious and didn't want to wait a long time to become good at something. So I gave up on sports.

    I enjoy hiking (if you consider that a sport). Actually, what I like best about it, isn't the physical activity of hiking itself but rather, the interesting things I see along the way. I also used to do orienteering and that was fun. I'd like to try geocaching.

    - what you are notably bad at / careers you think you would fail in

    Things I'm bad at:
    sports, dancing, drawing, persuading others, singing, reading subtle signs of body language and the like, dealing smoothly with overly emotional or aggressive or hostile people

    Careers I think I'd fail in:
    I wouldn't necessarily fail in these in the literal sense of the word but the following would make me very miserable indeed.
    *Sales because I hate pressuring people into buying something they may not want or need
    *Careers involving intense physical labor over an extended period of time
    *Extremely repetitive jobs like factory work
    *Surgeon because I don't have the fine motor coordination needed. I'd probably kill the patient.
    *Careers where I'd have to deal with very aggressive or angry people and where there's threats of physical violence like the police
    *Any highly bureaucratic environment where I have to follow rules that make little sense without opportunity to question authority or do something creative. Example: military
    *Jobs where its constant go, go, go all the time without time to think or reflect on things. In college I worked in the fast food industry during the lunch rush and I hated it.
    *Jobs where quick results are emphasized over quality.
    *Jobs where have to make quick decisions without having sufficient information
    *Doctor/nurse because if one of my patients died, I'd worry that somehow I would be held responsible for the person's death
    *Teaching middle school students
    *Careers where I have to be really persuasive such as politics or lawyer

    There doesn't seem to be many suitable jobs/careers for a poor soul like me.

    Being bad at sports always means being bad at drawing. This because Te(S) is the function of environmental coordination. Ti(S) and Se(T) underlie Te(S): Ti(S) is the function of movement tracking, where Se(T) is the function of physical dexterity. Dexterity is essential to the precision muscular control that is required to move the body in a precise path.

    Warrior-lib: you are definitely not an Artisan EM type. All ST is out, as are NT. Can you copy a drawing at all, or is your coordination completely shot? IEI especially can\'t hold a pen, and neither can EII. The difference is that IEI will try to draw and risk looking bad at it, while EII will abstain completely.

    Reflect on the content of your imagination. If you were to typify it by an element, what would it be? As an example, I tend to conduct long discourses with imaginary characters; in fact, I\'ve got an image of that person in your avatar in my head right now, under the pretense that it\'s you. I\'m able to simulate that person\'s body language rather accurately... people would be surprised how accurately, in fact. I\'ve become accustomed to accepting that conversations with strangers will usually turn out about as well as I envision them, simply because my personality correlates body language with traits very easily.

    Finally, which sociotypes do you find most interesting?

Dexterity is essential to the precision muscular control that is required to move the body in a precise path.

    I think there's a correlation but I don't think its always the case. Drawing is fine motor coordination. Some sports are more about gross motor coordination than fine motor coordination if that makes any sense.

    Warrior-lib: you are definitely not an Artisan EM type.

    What does EM stand for in this context?

    All ST is out, as are NT. Can you copy a drawing at all, or is your coordination completely shot? IEI especially can\'t hold a pen, and neither can EII. The difference is that IEI will try to draw and risk looking bad at it, while EII will abstain completely.

    I can copy a drawing okay. I just find it really tedious and boring to do so. Therefore I tend to rush through it and it doesn't come out quite the way I wanted it to. I can hold a pen okay and my handwriting is pretty neat. I think my problem with drawing stems from my lack of awareness of details in my environment and to a lesser extent, fine muscle coordination in the hand. This is especially true with drawing realistic looking pictures of people and everday objects. How people can accurately draw these things from memory and make it look so real is beyond me. If I had a realistic drawing right in front of me and I was asked to copy it, I'd do much better than just drawing it from memory, but I'd inevitably be off on some of the small details.

    Oddly enough, I do enjoy doodling from time to time and do this frequently when I'm bored. But my doodling is always of abstract shapes and figures, never of everyday objects. I've been told my doodle designs are quite creative.

    Reflect on the content of your imagination. If you were to typify it by an element, what would it be?

    primarily but I see all 8 of the elements pop up.

    As an example, I tend to conduct long discourses with imaginary characters

    I do this sometimes but I think I'm more inclined to imagine conversations with people I already know.

    in fact, I\'ve got an image of that person in your avatar in my head right now, under the pretense that it\'s you.

    That person isn't me (I'm female) and that baby isn't mine. I choose avatars that I find amusing on some level.

    Finally, which sociotypes do you find most interesting?

    They're all interesting in their own way. If I had to pick the top ones, I'd say:

    LII: Because it's my type. Do I need another reason?
    ILE: They're in my quadra and they have great ideas and I love their sense of humor.
    ESE: Because they're my dual and they are good at the things I suck at
    SEI: They're also in my quadra and they are alot of fun and easy to get along with
    SEE: I'm intrigued by this type because they are so different from how I operate. This is a type I enjoy watching from a distance but as my conflictor I usually avoid direct interaction with them.
    SLE: Like the SEE, they are very different from me since their base function is my PoLR. I find the difference intriguing but like the SEE, I prefer to watch from a distance.

    Warrior-lib, do you have a pic? Also, about the drawing: do you tend to get proportions of the figure right when copying it, and do you prefer still life or character drawing?

    By the way, about the imaginary character thing, I meant \"virtualized people\" or \"virtualizations of real people\".

    Sure, here are some pics.














    When drawing, I try my best to get the proportions right but sometimes it doesn't come out the way the want. Either I'm too fussy or I have poor motor control. I don't enjoy drawing still lifes or characters, but characters are worse. The only drawing I enjoy is doodling abstract shapes.

    Tcaudllig, what do you make of the other parts of my answers to your questions?

    You really have no understanding of how things work in reality, do you.

    PS: eh, I'll stop not humoring you, like everyone else here.

    Here's a question: what kind of person makes a good librarian?

    @Rubicon: I would suggest reading the dimensionality articles in the Articles section.
