Anyway, thanks.
I appreciate you setting this up, and everyone's comments. I was debating on whether to respond or not as I dont really plan on defending my type here. I want it to be known that abit of this presumptuous, for one there wasnt anything really lightning bolt about it; in the sense of how it came off here I can definitely see that. As much as I consider this community a good source of information with alot of intelligent people, the fact remains that theres no real interaction between us. People on here are still mistyped because of this. People have been really helpful in terms of narrowing my quadra down; I'm certain of being beta. I discussed with people on here and entertained ideas because I was plagued with doubt, trying to fit the descriptions; this includes my typing of ENFj.
Secondly, I think my emotional investment, in this forum is being grossly missrepresented. This forum is an outlet, a game, sometimes taken seriously, but to think that I would leave my typing to a bunch of superficial interactions on the internet is a bit ridiculous, no? This is partly why I didn't bother to discuss it; unlike many on here, I realize the limitations of this forum. That, and I just dont bother to spew my shit all over here like some other members choose to; I have said time and time again that my anonymity and privacy are important. Gilly, for instance, says i focus on Se - while another member I talk to somewhat frequently and more personally has explicitly stated my focus on Ti. Taking into account your opinions, contrasted with those of my best friends who I have asked to read profiles and typed me IEI - one of them being SLE - then who should I consider right?
Gilly, as I was reading your points; I normally would have thought about it and contemplated deeper than I have, and while they are interesting, theres too many things that would be unexplained by the type change. The intertypes in particular just don't make sense for me as an ENFj. The only possibility for this would be that I mistyped everyone close to me(which is highly unlikely) or that I'm an ENFj who has gone so 'deep' in his act that its managed to distort all his relations. I actually contemplated the second one, but it remains too far fetched to be taken seriously.
I can see what you mean about the way I start arguements, and I can also see how some behaviors here would be considered 'j' like in certain aspects, but my motivations or situations aren't really being taken into account; as you yourself have stated socionics is bout internal proccesses as opposed to outward behavior, right? With people who, for lack of better words, actually matter in some form, my interaction style is closer to the one you just described for IEI, at least to my perception. Also, I didn't assume that anyone accepted anything, I just wasnt particularly interested in peoples opinions here about it. If anything, I was actually curious why more people didn't speak up as I knew there would be doubters. I mean cmon, when is there ever a consensus here on anything?
To end, I'm going to say that I won't completely reject the ENFj typing; I do consider it at least a decent possibility. As I go through my day to day life, I will of course see how things play out and if enough evidence to prove otherwise surfaces, I'll make it more of an issue to address it. For now, its comfortable, it fits, things make sense. I might start a thread or bump a topic for more info on mirrors.
Its hard to honestly say that Im open interpretation right now, but if someone really cares enough to take an earnest and unbiased attempt to type me based off personal detail and interaction, I'm available via pm.
Oh, and aixelsyd, as much as I like you, I cant really consider SEE. I can imagine how you and cyclops see me like that, but Im so obviously intuitive SEE is something thats out of the question for me to discuss.
