I just wanted to add that I don't like a lot of the descriptions of the ESI that I have seen, and that's why I said that not all ESIs fit the stereotype. I actually like a lot of ESI-ish movies, stories about comic book-style superheroes (I'm saying this because I just now went to see the movie "Priest" a few minutes ago, so I am thinking about ESIs). And my mom seems to be one, and she also is much more mellow than the stereotypical descriptions usually suggest. The only time I have a problem with my mom is if she is worried about me and is trying to tell me what she thinks I should be doing with my life, and I usually can't take her advice.
I know an ESI who I work with who always had a longing to find his mission in life and fight against evil. He used to want to be a hero like on the TV shows he watched when he was a kid. But I don't just mean like a firefighter or something. He was drawn towards fantasy and magical, mystical heroes.
It's hard to meet intuitives if you work in a job environment that's filled with almost nothing but sensors. But you could have met them when you were in school. I don't know how old you are or whether you've been in college. However, there are LIEs on the forum and you could read their writings and see whether you feel attracted to their way of thinking. Expat doesn't write here anymore, but she was one of them, and I've seen several more LIEs around, I just can't recall their names. You could peek into the gamma section (although I get the impression you already have).
I know how frustrating it is when you can't figure out what your type is. I've gone through the same thing. I learned about the Myers-Briggs in 1993 when I went to college, and I kept changing my type for years. Socionics is so much more helpful, because you can test your type by finding out how you feel about your duals and conflict types and so on.
