    Default mikesilb...EII or a different type?

    Hi everyone,

    As a socionics newbie, I initially thought that EII (and its inherent combination) is my type (especially after a MBTI INFP switch to INFj). Perhaps I am right, but I also reserve room for being off in my self-typing. I am posting two videos that may get more to the heart of this question. These two videos were created based on my typing thread on the sociotype.com bulletin board. Any insights you have regarding the videos would be well appreciated:

    Video #1: I discuss the traits that I like/dislike from others.



    and

    Video #2: As a fan of the TV Show LOST, I describe who are my favorite characters on the show.



    What type(s) come up for you when you watch these videos?

    Mike dear,

    you are not INFj you may be INFp.

    read what the enneagram 2w3 is and you will see what an INFj is.

    I will watch your video when I get a macbook, my computer at home is dead.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    That was a mouthful of in the first video, especially the part about creating a positive, courteous and friendly environment (essentially one conducive to work and productivity, which is what Te dominants need). The strong bonds of loyalty bit is also pretty stereotypically Fi.

    The depth/shallowness thing isn't type related IMO. (Unless it's specifically being referred to in the context of Fi and not in general).

    Weak, devalued Se is pretty clear to me, as well as delta humanitarian values (except I don't see any emphasis on productivity in the videos). If it's between IEI and EII, then definitely EII. That would make you my supervisor.

    How about him being Te dominent? Mike, I believe that you may be an ESTj.

    both of your videos are focused on people and relationships. you repeat the words friendly, warmth, depth, loyalty. i don't know if you consider yourself to be this way or not, but you definitely say that's what you want in others and what you admire in them. this seems Fi valuing.

    you analyze the deeper meanings of the characters in lost and pick up on larger, more global or artistic themes. this seems like intuition in the ego block.

    you have a precise way of speaking that is quite well thought out and clear and i get the feeling of structure or even some rigidity. this implies rationality.

    your preference for a few really good friends over superficial relationships implies introversion.

    for some reason, you don't seem ethical. when i think of infj i think of my father, who shows a bit more emotion. but then again, i know some Fi leading people who don't show much emotion either, so perhaps you could be Fi leading.

    as far as my personal reaction to you, you seem to be a bit heavy to me. (nothing personal) a little bit pedantic or preachy or something. i spose this could imply an IJ temperament. like i'm kind of looking for some lighter type to come along and loosen you up.

    the thing that makes it hard to type people is when they seem pretty convinced already of their type, which you do. so that biases me when i look at your videos, since i like to believe that people are the best judge of their own type.

    I fully agree.

    Hi everyone,

    I am currently playing with the possibility that I am an EIE rather than an EII, due to the type of inherent passion and enthusiasm that was readily apparent from the videos.

    I never thought of myself as an Fe-dominant (nor a beta type), but I am open to the possibility that there is notable truth coming from this perspective.

    I am trying to learn more about the EIE to determine if this possibility carries weight. So far, it appears to (more than I even thought).

    I'll keep you posted regarding this. In the meantime, I am open to other perspectives as well. Thanks!

    You are ESTj
    You seem to be very well structured and organized, correct?

    You see, until some people actually discover and live with their dual they don't have a correct perception of who they are and what role they take in everyday responsibilities. It's one thing to admire and create a positive, courteous and friendly environment, but really and EII (emotional bonds, support) actively cultivates depth of relationships on an emotional level, where the LSE (physical, working, providing)creates a comfortable living environment.

    The strong bonds of loyalty bid is part of the values that bind duals together. Your humanitarian values is also part of our dual pairing.

    Maritsa, I'm sorry to say this, but I am not at all known for creating a comfortable living environment. Not even close. Thanks for your feedback however.
