Is that so.... I still think what I said is true.

I see her more as probably a Si subtype, but I'm open to different opinions on that. I do know that overall she doesn't fit the stereotypical bubbly, social extrovert that many type descriptions present - you know, the ones that talk about ESE's always organizing parties and pushing people to have "fun." But when you dig down into things like temperament, functions / IE ordering, etc. that's the type that best fits her, from my perspective.
Oh really? I don't know her that well, then.

If you see her as potentially ESE-Si in that way, and see him as being potentially less so, or less EJ, that would impact my prior analysis.

I think I need to observe him more to see how his natural flows of energy manifest... I feel like I don't have enough data, that I'm just going on gut feelings and guesses right now.
Yes

I have ideas in my own head, of course. The reason I made this thread, though, was to get ideas from other people's heads.
I was trying to pick your brain and understand your analysis process, so I could see how you were actually interpreting the data you presented me. But I know that isn't the point of your thread, yes.

I haven't actually had a lot of time to gain experiences with this guy. All told two weeks at most, really a bit less, despite having known him for a little over a year. We live in different parts of the world most of the year. So my sampling is small to start off with, plus who knows how he's adapted himself thus far.
Indeed.

I think it will be interesting to get my ESE's perspective on him. She's usually got something to say about everybody.
I think you just volunteered yourself to practice your reporter skills. We are looking forward to the video (or transcript) of this interview; 60 Minutes with Minde Khan.

When I asked my SEE friend, who knew him first, what she thinks of him, she shrugged and said something like, "He's ok. Nice. A little European creepy, but not like [another guy who had harassed us]. He's good." (By "European creepy" I think she meant how they tend to invade personal space a bit more than she's used to.)

The last time I saw them talk, though, I sensed some tension. She's quite flirty and chases the boys a lot, and I think he doesn't respect her for that. She was making plans to hang out with a new guy acquaintance at a movie theater, he made a crude gesture toward her, and she flipped him off. When she left a little after that she didn't look especially happy.
Interesting. The culture factor will probably be more apparent, as you noted, with increased and diverse experiences.
The SEE interaction is interesting.

Can you elaborate on "he doesn't respect her for that"?
How do you know? What cues did he give, or what about his personality implies that he finds this unappealing? What kind of a judgment was it?
... what motivated him to give her a rude gesture ?

He swears. Then appears to recalculate how to approach things. But those were relatively minor setbacks. I haven't seen him under bigger stress.

I don't know his E-type. Park suggested 9w8.
I wonder what the nature of his reconsideration is, and/or why there is an inclination for him to have an expression and then seek to correct it. If anything that may be a sign of being an S type, in a stereotypical sense. But how and why he corrects himself is something I would be curious about.

There seems an incompleteness of something.
