    Default Song's type

    Yes, another "type me" thread. Is it possible I'm SLI after all?

    I'm not big into talking about myself, and I'm not sure what kind of info to give here anyway, so if anyone has specific questions that'd help a lot.


    I realize that the very question of IEE vs. SLI sounds ridiculous. Si base vs. Si dual-seeking, Fe PoLR vs. Fe demonstrative, etc., seem like ludicrous things to wonder about, but there it is. People I've met and talked w who know socionics have differing views on my type as well, and so I'm looking for input from you guys.

    The confusion may be partly that I have a lot of Deltas around me and have grown comfortable using ego as well as superid functions... hmm.

    IEE, just like EII, like to give control over to their partner. So which one are you? Liking to control or let other be in control?

    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

    Pardon I mean, that's interesting, but I don't see Alpha at all... any reasons besides vibes? Or better yet, description of the vibes?

    Some of each; it depends on context.

    You used to have "Delta irrational, unsure which one," or something to that effect, on your wiki typings page. I know you settled on IEE last time I made a type thread, and I appreciate the thought you gave it then... I just feel something is not right about IEE. Then again, I don't feel totally right w SLI, either, obviously.

    Ok, in what situation would you like to assume control?

    SLI is a type that I very, very strongly identified w for a long time. One of the primary reasons I re-typed to IEE was that a couple of people from the forum I met irl insisted that I was "too warm" to be SLI. And I *can* be warm. But I can also be quite cool and aloof.

    I keep to myself a lot. I turn down most social invitations simply bc I'd rather be by myself... I need plenty of alone time, and if I don't get it for some reason, I shut down automatically anyway, whether I'm w people or not; I can't help it, and that's why I would rather just be alone in the first place -- it saves the complications of having to answer questions and explain that I'm not mad at anyone and that nothing is wrong etc etc etc. And when that happens I do get angry, heh.

    This happened to me just last weekend, where I found out later that everyone thought I was angry and, though they didn't say it so bluntly, a bitch in general... just because I wasn't "participating" or whatever. Ugh. I hate that, and it happens over and over to me.

    I think I know how you feel..a person at work told me yesterday, "Try not to look so happy" sarcastically. And I started, because I had been lost in thought..it felt pretty bad to be so misunderstood..because I want to connect to people, not scare them off..I read somewhere where people respond better to an "open" face and I've tried to arrange my face so it's more open, if that's possible..but it doesn't seem to work..so yeah..

    Ha, I do this all the time. I feel bad about it a lot, especially when I go and I wind up vanishing. I'm not great at saying goodbye and sort of just walk off on my own. It's kind of hard to imagine myself in a serious relationship sometimes since I seem to need so much space.

    I know what you mean. I'm so used to weird looks I get when I decline invitations or choose to do things on my own rather than do the group thing. I try not to let it bother me, they just don't know me and if they don't want to take the time to get to know you because of that, they're really not even worth it. Sometimes I just want to get dramatic and scream to god WHY DID YOU MAKE ME THIS WAY DAMNIT but I don't. heh. Some guy called me weird today at work because I said I didn't like clubs...ugh, okay....I think we're just independent people and some people get insecure because they think you don't "like" them. Who cares, no worries. Do what you want, take care of yourself.

    I think if you were to post a video, that'd help tons but I hate posting vids of myself so it's whatever. I personally am sticking with IEE.

    Song you know, i think IEEs and SLIs are more similar than one might think. Duals are inside out forms of each other.

    Interestingly, when i realized i wasn't IEI (per my initial self typing, converting from MBTI), i went searching for what my type might be, reading all the introvert type descriptions (because I considered myself an introvert, since I too like my me time, and get drained by large social outings). Guess what, the type i saw myself most closely in was SLI. And i was like "huh?? No way..." because i am really good with understanding people and have always been considered a relative expert on diplomacy and relationships
    among my friends and family. Then it came to my attention that i was actually a socionics extravert, and IEE fit like a glove. But that doesn't change the fact that i relate to a lot in the SLI descriptions.

    The things you're describing where people ask you whether you're mad at them in a group setting just because you're not emoting, all that means is you're Fi-valuing in an Fe-valuing group. You didn't put much stock in keeping track of the Fe-atmosphere, and thus didn't keep up with it, and ended up offending the Fe-valuers who took it personally. It doesn't mean you're Fi-POLR. Happens to me all the time. Unfortunately I work closely with an Fe-seeker .

    I think you're IEE from my interactions with you.

    Oh, I just saw this. I'd have to get into it, but the things you mention in this thread aren't really that convincing for me for an SLI typing. I do see Si ego though, just not ST.

    Your'e right Lobo. She's IEE, and just projecting. She needs an SLI, so she becomes one.

    I'm SLI. Just to clear up any confusion caused by my IEE mistyping of the last many months.

    FTR, SLIs can be friendly... don't get friendliness and lack of Fe PoLR mixed up. That was the basis of the argument I believed for re-typing as IEE. Hmmmm....

    Anyway, goodbye, forumites... take care.

    I'm a pretty friendly person if I do say so myself...SLI's get a bad rep sometimes and they're not all completely devoid of emotion. I think you should stay
