Hello I have returned after over 4 years

[Suz]

Hey Young&Aware! I am new to you as well... just started on my socionics journey about a year and a half ago! Welcome back!

So what made you reassess your socionics type? How did you realize you were coming across shy and unemotional? I think IEEs can come across that way too at times, though...

[woofwoofl]

Welcome back! so far, I think you might be my dual... and from the pic, I get Irrational from you, a slight edge for / over /, and a bit of a resemblance to MensSuperMateriam (an ILI) in the eyes and expression, where lots of nonverbal communication would take place...

I see what you're talking about, but I do not put excessive emphasis in V.I. Anyway I agree that his gaze seems to express introversion and intuition, not sure beyond that.

The OP also apparently manifests difficulties for expressing emotions in front of a chamera, although in a less severe way than myself. Is this a common sign of Fe PoLR, or at least weak Fe?

I find a bit strange doubting between ILI and IEE. Some supposed logical males are in fact ethical, but misunderstanding in the opposite way should be very uncommon. Which one is your enneagram, YoungAndAware? They're very different systems, but there's a statistical trend for some sociotypes and enneagrams. If you're an E4 or E7, both of them are very uncommon for ILIs whereas common for IEEs. If you're E5 you're very likely ILI (I've not seen any IEE E5), and if you're E6 or E9 you could be any of them.

A small suggestion. You're asking your type in different places (VI; ILI and IEE comparison). IMO it would be much more efficient concentrating the efforts in only one "type me" thread.

My enneagram is 5w6, it just seems to fit me, but I guess that contradicts me being an IEE. I agree, I should of approached the VI differently.

Then the IEE option is very unlikely. The next step would be understanding what an ILI is for confirming it. If you find troubles (or even if not) for differentiating both types through functions I suggest you taking a look to Reinin dichotomies (at least those which are well observed in users) and cognitive styles. It was useful for me for my particular doubts.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Galen is Fi-IEE and 5w6 isn't he?

[The Ineffable]

Galen is a gross mistyping. 5w6 seems to map onto Logical Introverts (someone with E experience pls confirm), so assuming he were IEE, this would be a very weak argument, a distraction I'd say.

... and cognitive styles.

That's not Socionics and for what I know neither usable for typing purposes.

I just realized I came across to most people as shy and unemotional most of the time with most people. Maybe with certain people and moments I come across as very uninhibited and emotional, but only a minority of the time. Maybe this behaviour is not type related, but I just look at most extroverts and feel they are much more uninhibited and socially savvy than I am, which made me think that maybe I'm actually an introvert.
