I love that you posted these, Glam. I keep referring to them! thanks.

[glam]

you're welcome i actually think they're pretty reliable, as some other people have commented. (even though they are sort of dated)

I agree.

I wish those old (but more recent) Russian photos still had working links, or that a forum member with excellent foresight saved those galleries... There was some VI gold in there.

In these photos, the expressions don't look natural in a lot of cases. I can imagine Filatova saying to that one ENFj -- the one resting his chin ponderously between his fingers -- "ok, now look a little like ******.. No, no! Don't go overboard..."

Also, from these photos, I find it somewhat surprising that the 70s were an androgynous decade even behind the Iron Curtain... Looks like they were feeling the Alice Cooper & Bowie influence as well... Or maybe they still have eunuchs over there?

This other page still the clearest source for VI I've seen http://gallery.socionix.com/, especially now that its fuller than before.

Really is something worth studying and getting down, the obviously common expressions of each type.

I like it better than the Filatova one because at least this one uses people that I can identify as male or female, (which I consider helpful.)

That site's always done a good job with the Fe types, in my opinion; however, personally, I find that that site's typings become inaccurate with the Fi types. I've known the people who've compiled that site and personally, I believe that there might be some self-justification in the Fi typings.

For example, typing Bob Dylan as ISFj -- his biography is full of religious conversions, dramatic Fe lyrics (e.g. "Sara,") and manipulating people... None of it connotes or denotes Fi, yet that's supposedly his leading function according to that site. The Dylan/John Lennon car ride sequence helped me with their types.

Did anyone save that old (but not too old) Russian VI from a conference that they had..? There was gold there.

Damn...these people are really ugly, some of them don't even look human.

@Subterranean those weren't the actual people were they? They did look like some of them.

What would you say are the definining charicteristics of the SEE's and SLEs expression? The SLE's kinda look like they are staring and the SEE's may be too but are friendlier.

Maybe.

Am I the only one who loves this guy's expression? (I mean it's so ridiculous it's good.)

Most of the EIEs have interesting expressions but that guy takes the cake (the top left guy has the best hairdo though).

I also like a lot of the alpha LII and ESE expressions.

LII doom gaze:

The guy on the left is Kafka's Russian twin:

There are a lot of hilarious expressions in these pictures in general. I am totally with the people who think some of this was faked. The second LII one I posted, for example, looks really forced, and so do a lot of the smiles on ESE, one SEE is Lady Gaga, the EIEs have rock star poses, and there are all the serial killers.


Unlike seemingly many people here, I don't look like any of the people on the first page, but then, I'm not a 70s Russian so what should I expect.

[QuickTwist]

I came here because I cannot decide between ISFP or ISTP.

I thought I could come here to this thread and identify what type I am by looking at the images corresponding to each type (Loosely [yes I know MBTI and Socionics is not a 1:1 ratio]) Only to find that I pretty much match both equally. :/

The only reason I am leaning LSI is because the brow for ESI is a little bit more perky :/
