    Default Type me (again) please!

    I'm still not sure about my Socionics type. The tests fail me; too often, none or several of the answers apply.

    The IEI profile sounds like me, but Fe does not. The EII profile does not suit me. Some ILI profiles also sounds a bit like me, but again, the functions don't seem correct.

    I made a thread here awhile ago: http://www.the16types.info/vbulletin...tml#post559884

    I thought people could ask me questions for info that may be helpful in determining my type.

    One thing I am sure of is that I am an introvert.


    Thanks!

    What do you mean "the IEI profile suits me but Fe does not"? Which profile are you talking about? And what do you mean by "Fe"?

    The descriptions of the IEI (INFp) type that I've come across. By "Fe" I mean extroverted feeling:

    I'm just not used to these symbols yet...'

    What is your understanding of introverted.
    -
    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 2w1sw(1w9) helps others to live up to their own standards of what a good person is and is very behind the scenes in the process.
    Tritype 1-2-6 stacking sp/sx


    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

    Why do you think that doesn't suit you?

    I'm more focused on my inner world of thoughts, ideas & feelings than anything. I prefer to be alone (I NEED copious amounts of alone time to just think & daydream), as people drain me. Pretty much any definition of introvert you can come up with, I fit.

    My understanding of in this theory is that it makes a person emotionally demonstrative & they desire to affect and are often affected by other people's expressions. The only way I could see this manifested in myself is through my sense of aesthetics (in graphic arts & fashion) - I do seek some response in others then, but my primary motivation is still my own expression. I admit I may get a perverse delight in freaking people out sometimes - not in anything I say or even do, but in general demeanor/appearance. But more often than not, I am accused of being aloof, cold and not expressive of emotional feeling. People IRL question the existence of my feeling, but they'll also sense an air of moodiness. Close family will say I am temperamental, as I will have outbursts on occasion if I feel very frustrated.

    I also don't find in socionics ringing true for myself either. I read stuff about it understanding social hierarchies and what is appropriate - and that is all totally foreign to me. Social protocol and appropriateness allude me a lot of the time. I always feel like I missed the memo on that stuff. I'm more interested in concepts & ideas than people also - I like altruism more in theory than in reality. In reality, people often annoy me and I like to avoid them. I'd say I am more imaginative/creative than altruistic.

    This may sounds like hogwash, but I'm going to type it anyway:
    I do feel that I have an almost innate connection to some basic foundation of morality that exists within all people, but that not everyone accesses as clearly/easily. "Moral truth" is something I find within myself, and things align with my internal compass or they do not, rather than adjusting myself to the external moral values. This is why I identify with MBTI INFP. But EII sounds really freaking DULL. Like this little plain, mumsy do-gooder who has no backbone. The profiles also sound much more structured than me - I dislike routine with a passion. When I had the same 9-5 for 4 years, I felt like a zombie - I was miserable. I also hate when people get stuck on what I see as trivial things like being "on time". I also like NEW for the sake of new.

    I'm not that gentle - I've been called terse by people. I'm deceptively easy-going in that I am just quiet & not insistent on "my way" in small, everyday matters, but I can be quite stubborn otherwise. I've actually been called argumentative by those closest to me, but sometimes I just see it as discussing & analyzing. I don't have a problem saying "no" and I'm not very self-sacrificing at all. I can be a bit selfish & self-absorbed actually.

    IDK....I'll stop there I guess...

    I think I explained that in another post in this thread....if you need more clarification, then I can possibly expand on what I've written, but the basics are covered.

    Gamma, most likely Ni-INTp.

    On a side note, you look rather charismatic in the photo.

    You sound pretty interesting and intense....I can relate to you a lot. But I get this sense you like to fight and shit. Well maybe you don't like it but you find yourself in an aggressive role regardless, it seems. Then again I've always been drawn to women that have a lot of darkness inside so lol. I would get that checked out though. You honestly sound....pretty violent. But it's repressed. I think it's interesting, but it could land u in prison if you don't work on it.

    and ooh you have dolphin-ish eyes kinda.

    Hmm, I thought I was the only one who saw that. Don't know if what we're seeing is VI-related though...

    If you're in the situation where you have two types which both sound kind of true, you should start to compare them directly. Look at the quadras, which one seems more like your 'group' of people? You can also take a look at the other small groups like clubs or Temperaments. Then, you can compare all of the Reinin dichotomies (you can find them here: Link) or even better: if you don't know they yet in detail, just read the descriptions and then answer them all regardless of types and then compare it with the existing combinations. I don't know if you are already familiar with the socionics terms, but you can also take a look at the 'hidden agenda' (the 6th function) and the 'point of least resistance' (aka polr, the 4th function). I think this will give you more clues what your actual type is.

    PS: If I may say so, you're really pretty. Otherwise I can't say much about how you VI.

    No, I am not violent at all. I'm very anti-violence. I won't even watch violence on TV or in movies because I am not desensitized to it enough, and it disturbs me. When I say "temperamental", I mean moments of being emotionally reactive when I usually am not. I don't hit people or anything . I CAN be aggressive when it comes to defending something important to me, but it's all verbal, and I'm usually defending an idea/principle/value

    I have no idea what "dolphin eyes" means - my eyes literally look like dolphin eyes?

    Thanks for the info.......I'm still becoming acquainted with the quadras....I'm not really sure what distinguishes the groups, outside of the cognitive functions.

    I'm finding the Deltas kind of stiff so far, but then I am not exactly a "relaxed" person. I can appear relaxed to the casual observer IRL though.
