Based on my five years here

Well I sure am surprised with the SLI responses, I hope that the reason for people saying that isn't because I typed myself that and went by that for like 4 years. I didn't know anything about socionics then. And what video is everyone talking about? It's funny because I don't even remember...

You seem always reasonable, even when getting throwed shit at you, you don't get excited or emotional.

Your writing style is easy to read for me, I had the similar kind of experience with Cyclops his writing style, an SLI-Te.

I find nothing about you that contradicts SLI.

Still I'm not going to fight over it, if you want to be another type go ahead.

ILI/SLI is my impression. SLI>ILI. I like you, so it's definitely not a "I don't want you as my type" thing at all. You seem calm, unperturbed, relaxed, and as you put it "never enthusiastic about anything ever." I don't have a litany of reasons for my impression, but it's not because that's what you typed as for so long. It's more the lack of responsiveness to Fe that you've suggested about yourself in the stories and comments you've made, and a general Te>Ti valuing impression, plus temperament, etc. I don't see Ti-leading, and Si looks much more likely. Why consider ESI at this point?

Usually, the first type someone chooses is the right one. So, I think you're SLI.

I just thought certain aspects of ESI fit but the more I think about it, the more ridiculous it is. I'm surprised so many people are saying ILI. I'll have to think about all of this stuff. I guess my impression of ILI and SLI is quite off or I'm just an odd representative of those types. Dunno. But thanks for all the responses. They're helping me.

I know I've started countless type threads but only recently have I came to understand Socionics better. I feel like the many threads I've started on the the subject are pointless because I didn't understand anything and was basing my type off MBTI. I was tossing around the idea of starting a new thread in hopes that the people here who have been here since the beginning (and the new ones too..although you might not know me well)could give their input.

Basically, the two types i've been considering are LSI and ESI. I've already settled on LSI as of late but have been wondering if ESI is possible and wanted to get others opinions. I'm not looking for attention, sorry if i've started so many threads on the same subject but i think this could be the last one since i understand it better. That's what i'm hoping, at least. What does everyone think about ESI vs LSI? Or another type?

not a big controversy here. clearly LSI. clearly Ne polr. clearly logical. i've always thought that.

Hey, Jessica. I searched for a thread you commented in but couldn't find it. In it, LSIs answered the question of how they respond to Fe, and IIRC, you described it making you feel enlivened or something.

I wonder if that holds true for you apart from your responses in this thread.

I think my grandfather was LSI, and tbh, though I'm pretty sure of his type, I'm not sure he was always directly responsive to my Fe. I don't think we were around e/other enough to dualize. (IF I'm EIE ... and if I'm IEI, why wouldn't it have felt easier, like activity seems to?)

With him ... it was more like we really admired e/other, but sort of from a distance, even when we were in the same room. I dunno. I guess what I'm saying is that I've seen this with other people, too, the older they get ... seems like sometimes that one thing they most need (dual-seeking IE) is something that they have to learn to integrate in their interactions unless they are in the habit of doing that from early childhood.

So anyway, what is Fe to you? How do you define it? What does it look like when you see it? Do you think you always notice it? Etc.

lol the first type I "chose" was ILI.

That's why I didn't say "always"

[Capitalist Pig]

lol the first type I "chose" was ILI.

Me too. And I was right. Or so I like to think.

[Cuddly McFluffles]

Due to some previous comments in this thread, I would like to point out that:

Getting along =/= duals
Not getting along =/= not duals

Who's to say that you know anything about socionics now?
