    But of course I cant have that attitude towards school if only.

    About the Bossing thing. I have an example. Sorry if this goes on to long. I was working at one place for 2 months and a guy I worked with, for a few weeks. It really bothered me when he would point out mistakes I was making. Or i'd be trying to visualize how to tackle a problem and he would jump in and tell me how I should do it and it was like a hammer hit me on the head as I was solving the issue.
    After a while I started to get along with him and accepted that was how he was. I got pretty hot headed myself and I am ashamed at some of my impulses.

    And do you feel more comfortable in really big groups, or smaller, friendlier gatherings? [/B]
    Smaller and friendlier. Its better to feel connected to a few great friends then disconnected to a group of them.
    Hahaha, I like you already! I feel the same way. If I could find a decent job that was physical, I'd fall in love.

    All things considered, my first guess as to your type would be IEE. Here's my reasoning:

    Ego Ne
    "Something I noticed when I was new to Framing was that my boss would keep telling me "are you listening?" I definatly have a tendency to go off on my own tangent. I was half-listening to him and half-connecting the information I was getting to the things currently solid in my mind and thinking of the theory behind it. Im all over the place man."

    Intuitive types often have difficulty focusing on the concrete details of the world right in front of them; they're stereotypically the ones with their "head in the clouds", considering the big picture and the larger implications of what's going on. They focus on the more abstract aspects of life, and can give the impression of being absentminded and "zoned out".

    There are two types of Intuition: Introverted Intuition (Ni), and Extraverted Intuition (Ne). In my opinion you sound more like an Ne type; Ni types focus more on being aware of the flow of events and trying to see where things are leading, while Ne types focus on examining the hidden, underlying potential and possibility contained within the present world as it exists now. Your focus seems to me to be more on understanding the abstract elements of the current world, rather than understanding where events are leading.

    " I was working at one place for 2 months and a guy I worked with, for a few weeks. It really bothered me when he would point out mistakes I was making. Or i'd be trying to visualize how to tackle a problem and he would jump in and tell me how I should do it and it was like a hammer hit me on the head as I was solving the issue.
    After a while I started to get along with him and accepted that was how he was. I got pretty hot headed myself and I am ashamed at some of my impulses."


    Again, Intuitive types are often "head in the clouds"; it's where we do most of our work. To be brought out of that before we're ready is distracting and can be annoying if we're actually trying to accomplish something and not just daydreaming.

    To explain this a little more.... hmmm lol this is tough. I feel very awkward at times, and people sometimes say I'm weird. My best friend said the other week, "You're weird but we love you" and that kind of shocked me to hear that.

    Ne-Ego types are often unconventional, and often viewed by their peers as "weird" or "strange". Personally, as an Ne-Ego type myself, I think it would be boring to be normal.

    Super-Ego Se
    "I dislike heavily getting told what to do, especially when the person isn't at a position to boss me around."

    All Ne-Ego types (IEE, ILE, LII, and EII) have Se in their Super-Ego. This means we're (embarrassingly) not very good at aggressive territorial confrontation and conflicts of willpower. We tend to resent being pushed around, especially by people in authority, but feel somewhat helpless to do anything about it.

    Ego Fi
    "Smaller and friendlier. Its better to feel connected to a few great friends then disconnected to a group of them."

    To me this indicates a strong focus on Introverted Feeling (Fi), as opposed to Extraverted Feeling (Fe). Fi types focus on relationships and connections to people; to them the purpose of having a good time is to make friends and strengthen relationships. Fe types, on the other hand, focus on emotions and "what's going on inside"; to them the purpose of having friends is to have a good time and make everyone happy.

    Fe types often enjoy larger groups, because of the emotions that these settings can stir up. If they see other people off to the side in their own little group, they may try to bring those people into their own group, so that everyone can share in the fun. Fi types, on the other hand, are exactly like you describe yourself -- they find large groups unproductive as far as making connections and maintaining relationships with people, and when they find themselves in a large group they tend to break off into smaller groups whenever they can.

    "I acted that way because He wasnt a great source of information and I felt like he shouldn't have been "telling" me what to do."

    Unlike Ti-Egos, who accept information from every source and then analyze it logically to see if it makes sense, Fi-Egos don't trust their own analytical skills that much, and prefer to find people who know what they're talking about, and rely on them for trustworthy information. Fi-Egos are very good at being able to tell who is trustworthy, and who doesn't know what they're talking about. For an Fi-Ego, to have someone they've rejected as a trustworthy source of information continuing to try to force their information on them would be annoying at best.

    Demonstrative Fe
    "Thats where I learned to laugh things off and make a joke out of the crap, put a positive spin on it and it made people laugh, made me laugh too."

    While IEEs, being Fi-Egos, prefer to focus on relationships and personal connections instead of always expressing emotions and focusing on what they see as "superficial" happiness, they are good at doing both. When necessary, IEEs can laugh and joke and create a positive emotional atmosphere with the best of them. However, this is almost always done for the purpose of creating, strengthening, or healing relationships and personal connections. To laugh and joke just for the sake of laughing and joking seems a little pointless perhaps even immature to an IEE.

    "So at times I probably come off as a goof and I know it, always cracking a joke. My friends seem to love me for giving them an ab workout all the time haha. To be honest I envy guys who are emotional rocks and dont need positive feedback from their peers to support them."

    One thing that all Feeling (or "Ethical") types lack is the stability and "hardness" that Thinking (or "Logical") types have. Some Feeling types are better at hiding it than others, but all of them sometimes feel a little lost, adrift in a sea of emotions and personal connections, without a solid "anchor" in practical reality. Thinking types, by contrast, can be very "solid" and independent, but feel somewhat helpless when it comes to expressing emotion or dealing with relationships.

    Furthermore, your facial expression and body language in the photos you posted are consistent with IEE. Your smile is consistently broad and shows teeth, indicating someone who is comfortable showing emotion (a Feeling type). Your gaze is somewhat unfocused and distant, characteristic of intuitive types. Your body language in the second photo is somewhat physically awkward, which is again characteristic of intuitive types. And in general, you seem to have an outwardly-oriented air about you, characteristic of Extraverts.

    I would say that I am around 75% confident that you are an IEE. Since I rarely go over 90% certainty for people I only know over the Internet, this is a fairly strong opinion. I'm around 85% sure you're some kind of Feeling type, at least.

    Here are some links to IEE descriptions:

    Krig, going off on tangents is not the same as not being able to focus on details;
    -
    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?


    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

    Zoning out to the point that your boss asks if you're even listening to him explain something is a decidedly Intuitive trait. "Connecting the information I was getting to the things currently solid in my mind and thinking of the theory behind it," as Zulu described, involves ignoring extraneous details and focusing on the essential nature of what is being said. It's not, strictly speaking, an inability to focus on details, but rather a tendency to consider the remembering of such details to be less important than understanding the essential nature of the thing.

    You're reading into something that there isn't anything to read into and making conclusions where he has not said why he zones out, maybe he's not interested in his boss's output of information due to different type and type interaction that is not pleasant. He is not an N type and nothing that he has written determines that he is but he wrote about his feelings associated with boarding that is clearly Si...you missed that.

    To me, that part just sounds like an IEE who wants to be like his dual. You have to look at the whole picture.

    OMG; that's not DS; you have to look at the whole picture. This guy would have used Ne, Fi, before using Si if he was NeFi and even may have rolled out the role function and be NiXX before being NeFi...you don't see the possibilities.

    What do I hate I dislike heavily getting told what to do, especially when the person isn't at a position to boss me around. Cant think of anything else at the moment
    A lot of this can sound like SLI, however the bolded part, although this is a minor thing perhaps, I think that if an SLI has been damaged by a physical activity, their Si can be somewhat reticent of it again, as they're attuned to their physical well being. Of course age and other factors can overide this, so i'm reluctant to say it's definately not leading Si.

    Do you think zoning out when for instance the boss is talking is just an indication of introversion?
