    Default what about distinguishing between ESI and LII?

    I know this woman whom I've considered LII for some time now who claims she's ISFj (MBTI). Could be, I guess? She has trouble with self-confidence and over-thinking things. She doesn't seem to enjoy parties at all--I think she fakes it that she's having fun--she usually plants herself in one spot and talks to one or two people, and then goes home with a headache. I consider her really organized but maybe she works harder to be that way than I think. There's a chance she could be LSI. I should do a VI page but I don't have good pics of her. She's not a happy person and expresses signs of depression so it's hard to type people like that. She's non-dualized and in an unhappy marriage.

    this thread could be in the "what's my type" subforum I suppose.

    Keep in mind that an MBTI ISFJ is actually Si Fe in function.

    MBTI functions are wrong (even within their own system). That would only mean something if J/P switch worked in most cases. In this particular case I would try to find her club using socionics definitions of S/N and T/F. Go for how she carries herself and how expressive she is.

    Its been proven that most people who score as INTJ in MBTI are also INTj in socionics, and most people who score as INTP in MBTI are INTp in socionics. Its true that in MBTI ISFJ is SiFe, however when most socionists try to type the MBTI people they fail to realize that the MBTI people do not type themselves by function, but by four letters.

    I thought for the longest time my mom was ISTj(LSI) but when I had her sit down and take a test she scored as INFx which really took me off. The we sat down and discussed her type, and came to the conclusion that shes INFj. I would suggest doing the same thing here. Have them read the descriptions(try more then one description) of the type you think they are, then of the type they think they are and see what they think. Maybe have them take a good test also and try to narrow it down.

    well there's no way in hell she's SiFe.

    She's cold especially if you don't know her well, and can be bitchy but tries to hide it. She gets her self-worth from "helping" people and serving people and living up to her own perfectionistic standards. She has trouble with change in general. Doesn't like the feel of make-up on her skin but will wear a little bit of it for social occasions. She stands very straight. She prides herself on her cooking and baking. Very bookish. Probably an E-5w6 or 1w2 or 6w5. Into traditions and sad when they have to change for whatever reason. Often ruled by fear. Fear she will die of a disease or a car crash or whatever.

    If she's FiSe, she'd be Fi subtype I think.

    she sounds like an ESI

    Why did you think she was LII?

    Sounds INTj. A lot of ISFj's love to read sometimes but idk if they would be described as bookish. I don't see many ISFj's with an e-5 type or wing.

    Sounds vaguely ISFj > INTj

    Wrong. That is a myth. Socionics SiFe =/= MBTT SiFe. And MBTT dichotomies =/= Socionic dichotomies. There is no conversion between Socionics and MBTI, your "proof" doesn't exist, and your speculation about what "most people" are is just speculation.

    IMO, LSIs are somewhat happy and tend to joke a lot.
    Yeah, unless they're terribly overworked, they're generally much more jovial than ESIs
    This is confirmed by Reinin and is something I have been wanting to get people to notice for a while now:

    LSI: Merry, Emotivist, Carefree, Positivist
    ESI: Serious, Constructivist, Carefree, Negativist

    LSI is Process, though, which roughly means "outwardly critical" or "overtly negative" in certain contexts. They criticize the occasion/processes and sort of react directly to things that go wrong rather than covering them up with flowery words.
    Result is more critical towards one's own performance and/or towards ideals rather than towards occasions and processes ("inwardly critical", "covertly negative").

    (This has to do with the fact that Process/Result determines how Positivism and Negativism distribute over Static/Dynamic in the model A.)
