Factors Behind Common Mistypings

[Krig the Viking]

Yeah, I expect that different people will tend to make different mistakes more than others. But I know Quasi-Identical is a very common mistyping for a lot of other people. SEE/ESE is one I see all the time, for example.

[Cuddly McFluffles]

My most common typings have been IEE, IEI, and EII; so that makes sense.

It seems like Semi-Duals are often confused for each other. I think this is probably due to the DS function being accentuated.

Illusionaries are probably less likely than Semi-Duals to be confused for each other.

Okay so I have this friend I cannot type. The only types I'd really consider for her are IEE, SEI and IEI.

IEE-semi-dual, extinguishment, 5, 4
SEI-lookalike, semi-dual, 4, 8
IEI-extinguishment, lookalike, 8, 5

(am I doing it right?)

So... what does that mean? she's most likely IEI?

Yup, you're doing it right.

It does look like IEI is the most likely according to this method, but not by a huge margin. I've been discovering that this method isn't helpful in every case, because there isn't always a clear "winner".

As far as Semi-Duality goes, for me it's harder to tell Intuitive and Sensing types apart than it is to tell Logical and Ethical types apart, so I'm more likely to confuse Irrational Semi-Duality pairs (like IEE/SEI), as well as Rational Mirage pairs (like LSI/LIE, for example). But I don't know if everyone has this problem, or if it's just me.
