I'd like to know this too. I have very stereotypical views of SEIs: Lazy bums or dog loving hippies.

An ILI at rest tends to remain at rest
and an ILI in motion is probably not an ILI

Input, PLEASEAnd thank you
He does not show me anything I could connect with SEI, yes. I don't see his messages as such, the medals, that heart, his wound, stuff, there's a symbolism that lacks in this type, as far as I can tell. SEIs normally transmit simple and self-relevant things which are: 1. either obvious (may be something funny, like when you "BOOH!" someone) 2. or you've got to go and see them (ok maybe I miss some here). What he says seems to always have a meaningful interpretable nature, you the watcher need to make an appeal to your background to understand the importance of those. I feel like "a hand heart thing, so what are you looking at me, what was I supposed to say?", trying to impress but to make it appear "accidental", without showing off, like "wow! tell me more about your decorations and wound!" - which IMO sounds rather XLI. The whole picture appears to represent his merits and accomplishments.
Besides having a too treble and irritating voice, his humor is "smart" and meaningful, only apparently naive, more like Woody Allen's geekish characters.
I asked you whether you relate to that because you're a SEI and I have no idea whether this is the case or you simply picked up a random example of what was supposed to be a "SEI video".
Ask about hobbies: gardening, photography, fishing. Though other types can have those hobbies too. They have that lovely quiet Si Ip pace. You need to get used to seeing that pace. And they emit warmth, which SLIs don't.

Much better video here for a ISFp vs the Will guy.
Also a video of a ISFP like this on the bottom is likely a ESI or EII.
IMO that one could be SEI - she talks and gestures like a SEI I know (face expressions, too), including being so emotionally "raced" when she was speaking. But among the two, certainly EII. It's IMO inconceivable for an ESI (LSI too) to excuse for their distractions and eventual gaffes, I have a hard time to see an ESI starting from the premise that she will mistake or bore people - doing something that was not intended.
She has a video "alejandro" she's with all that mess behind, really not "presentable". (and LMFAO @ min 3:00 check that out!)

Puppy dog eyes. They all have frickin' Anime-looking puppy-dog eyes.
Also, Socionics is not widespread enough in the west that you can rely on youtube vids; most of those are gonna just be MBTI ISFP (which ime is about 40% SEI, 30% IEI, 20% ESI and 10% other).
What do these signs mean—, , etc.? Why cannot socionists use symbols Ne, Ni etc. as in MBTI? Just because they have somewhat different meaning. Socionics and MBTI, each in its own way, have slightly modified the original Jung's description of his 8 psychological types. For this reason, (Ne) is not exactly the same as Ne in MBTI.
Just one example: in MBTI, Se (extraverted sensing) is associated with life pleasures, excitement etc. By contrast, the socionic function (extraverted sensing) is first and foremost associated with control and expansion of personal space (which sometimes can manifest in excessive aagression, but often also manifests in a capability of managing lots of people and things).
For this reason, we consider comparison between MBTI types and socionic types by functions to be rather useless than useful.

It's kind of simplistic in a way but it does seem to work much of the time when you're trying to speed-read someone.
Types and Their Overall Moods
For the SEI:
soft, helping; gentle smile; touch naturally; comfort oriented; sensual and expressive
LII-Ne with strong EII tendencies, 6w7-9w1-3w4 so/sp/sx, INxP
Sometimes very lost into themselves, because they are introverts and look like they aren't all that engaging with you, sometimes they have soft subtle flirtations.
Keira Knightly is SEI; notice her long and skinny figure that looks so fragile and so soft, her eyes are mesmerizing to me.

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
