I MUST do anything I agree to do.
If I don't do what I MUST do I FAIL, and that's no good.
Consequently I don't agree to do much.

ILI (FINAL ANSWER)
They're supposed to be. Myself, I tend not to be very reliable.
People who are not "reliable" and are less confident in their self typing are likely not to speak up out of fear of having their type doubted.
Hehe, this is an interesting question. I have terrible self-discipline but I generally expect people (myself included) to not let anyone down if they can. If it's something for "the man" I couldn't give a shit ( sux) but if it's something for a friend that I said I would do I'll try my best to do it.
Not so much a I-will-always-do-what-you-expect but more a I-will-always-try-my-best.
On the other hand, irrationals suck at being reliable.

How do you know what I'm looking for? Are you trolling again? How do you know I don't fit what you just described? How do you know your colleague never complains about unreliable people? Can no one speak candidly without having their type questioned by you? No one is a cookie cutter representative of their type.

oh and they don't try to guilt trip people. That's how LIIs are different from EIIs.
I try not to give people an opportunity to let me down, if that makes any sense. Once I'm disappointed, it's hard to shake my perception of someone as unreliable.

I assume people are unreliable. It's the only sensible thing to do.How do you do that? Remind them of the issues or simply never (or very rarely) do you assign tasks to people, fearing they'd let you down?
I forget about some detail of the assignment, or end up committing to it in a half-assed way because something more important turned up.Another question is: what about you, do you let people down or fulfill what is assigned to you diligently?
hmmm reliable might not be the right word. Maybe just someone who I know will be there when I need them. I rarely if ever need favors from people, but it's just really nice to have someone there that I wont have to go track down or do the scheduling thing, trying to find out when a good time/day is.

Not a LII but for the sake of comparison: I can do a lot for my friends on the spot, when they need me, emergency calls and such, as long as they genuinely need it (i.e. it's not a whim), but I'll do my best to dodge any attempt to make me commit to something in the future, and hate anything that "hangs over me". I don't want to have my options limited by previous commitments, although to some extent it's unavoidable. I'm also very unreliable when it comes to them, because as the situation changes, I may find it worthier to choose another path. And don't even mention deadlines.
What Pinocchio says about Gamma/Alpha NTs in general sounds more like rationality/irrationality, or at least more like LSE than LIE. Either that or he's right and I'm an Alpha NT. Which I don't think I am.
same here. i can never trust anyone because i am always on high alert, picking out what doesn't fit, which other people don't notice. for instance, it doesn't occur to many people now that I've been in college a while and I've known immigrant friends who came with their parents to apply BEFORE the deadline, and even my own family makes similar mistakes, so I just do it myself, but yet when others expect things of me I can't understand why it's so important, especially being on the spectrum, and I just fail on purpose.
I also forget everything. So many things overwhelm me at once, and then just as I'm about to do one last thing, another thing shows up and i implode or explode a little.
Also do TI doms have a good memory for the names of things, because it's a TI category?? I often struggle with this.....
