I've had moments where I doubted my type, but they do not last long. My hypothesis is that the difference between IEEs and ILEs is IEEs will look into what the public consensus is in depth as a result of not fully trusting their own reasoning. This then results in them eventually reverting back to their original typing. However with ILEs they will ignore the public consensus in favor of their own reasoning, which they are more confident in and may not return to their original typing for a very long time if ever.
