    Default The Types of Children

    For those who believe that type is inborn, not subject to change due to environmental influence...

    Would it be easier to identify a child's type as opposed to an adult's? I would think as, as a kid, one would display a more 'natural', uninhibited self to the world since he does not know anything else that might 'cloud' his mind (social graces, etc).

    I'm curious.

    There are observable traits from when they are as little as being able to pick up favorite objects; I was always drawn to pencils and pens, my ISTp brother to little toy cars; my ISFp niece to flowers. ESFp kids to asking a bazillion questions. There are observable traits in the way they organize their toys, etc. Introverts are easy to tell apart in kids; they look like adult introverts but more so introverted when they are younger (that absent, inside their head and slow movement looks).

    It would be harder to type kids Visually, because their skull is still shaping and visually, I think about age 18 and up is the easiest to tell; But think of their brain as a concrete hard ware and they are still looking to fill the pages from external data, so that they can tell you what they are like (process of differentiation).

    I've read that children of a dual couple become the same types as their parents. Which is positive for their learning because they then have identicals as parents.

    No it's easier to tell a personality type when they mature, even though they're the same type when born.

    Where have you read this? I don't think it's true.

    One couple I know:

    LIE+ESI
    children: IEE, LSI

    Yup they do; every single dual pair that I've observed has had this trend thus far. This is why I may be so idealistic about duality; I'd like another one of my cousin as my own child, with some unique personality differences of their own.

    And I suppose that means you've figured out what exactly makes a type in one's childhood? Because if you say for certain that the children of 2 duals are one of their types, you must know how exactly types are made. Please, share your knowledge with us so that we may understand. And leave out the morphology; various physical characteristics can be obtained and inherited by chance or at random, so physical characteristics are no certainty.

    That goes for anyone who thinks type is inherited from 2 duals; again, genetics makes no difference because traits are inherited at random and mutations can occur.

    Anyway...

    LIE+ESI
    produced one EIE and ILI

    LSI+EIE
    produced one LSI

    SLI+IEE
    produced one SEI

    That's all I've got for you. Their types were determined by a group of us, so none of them were typed by any one person.

    Also, is it possible that if type is obtained through environmental influence then your parents are the greatest influence? In this way a child who is most educated and sheltered by his parents may come out as one of their types or at the least in the same quadra. If only we could take a poll of children who were home schooled...

    look back at my posts and copy and paste where I actually said that.

    Now you're trying to manipulate the public to gain credibility and strength over me. YOU WIN, because I can't win with competing with Se types.

    You do not value Ti and consistency.
    Keep in mind the public doesn't give a shit whether you and I destroy this topic with pathetic banter. Well, maybe OP does, but it was already on its way off course, so if I may add more weight to the sinking ship...
    You said;

    You personally believe that this is the case; a dual pair will pass down their 'type' genetically which will morphologically show itself. If you did not believe this, you would not use morphology nor would you claim that dual pairs pass their types to their children.

    And when I said you can't provide it, I was making an assumption; I haven't won at all and am on my way to losing this penile inspection contest if you destroy these caustic accusations by providing indisputable proof of your theory, which hitherto has been kept in the dark for your entire stay at this forum. That's just a little suspicious...

    I don't know about easier, but it's definitely possible. I know an ESE kid and an SxE kid, and others I haven't been able to type but who have clear differences in personality, even before they can talk.

    Children are just like tiny little people, it's weird.
