    Default Finally a WA self-type thread

    Ok i'm pretty confident about my self-typing at this point, but to humor those who disagree and to put the issue to rest (perhaps? if that's ever possible in socionics?), here is my typing thread. I'd never made a self-type thread in the past simply because i dont rely on group-think, I went by my own self-assessment as well as corroborations by people i see as reliable sources in the community as well as supportive evidence from my intertype interactions on here as well as irl.

    But I would like to know what evidence is behind those mutterings of me being ESE or Fe-dom, in people's minds. If any other type is also on the table, please also dont be shy to share your thoughts.

    IEE, but ESE is possible too I guess.

    Do you find yourself being attracted to or repulsed by Ti and Ti-valuing members here?

    Where's the poll?

    Anyways, Fi-IEE fits you well. Often Fi-IEE can be confused as ESEs because they're more emotional and rational in nature, but it only appears this way superficially. Internally, a Fi-IEE is still an IEE and behaves like one even if it is not as obvious as a Ne-IEE subtype. Based on what I know about you and what you've told me, only confirms the fact that you are a Fi-IEE further.

    You mean, where's the poli? I've been asking myself that question too.
    She is wise
    beyond words
    beautiful within
    her soul
    brighter than
    the sun
    lovelier than
    love
    dreams larger
    than life
    and does not
    understand the
    meaning of no.
    Because everything
    through her, and in her, is
    "Yes, it will be done."

    The second most likely type for you IMO would be EII, not ESE.

    Well i think Ti-valuers' responses to me in multiple threads on the forum speaks for itself, but to me the difference is clear, i certainly gravitate to the Te-egos here (with a few exceptions) and tend to shy away from the Ti-egos (again with a few exceptions).

    I agree with this.
    A question:

    When you are typing someone, do you record what they do or what they say?

    i try to look past what they are doing or saying to try to identify the motivations behind the actions/words. It's not always obvious.

    That would make you a perceptive type.

    Ah yeah to clarify I wasn't trying to say that truth seeking WAS Fi, just that if it were anything that's what it would be. That's why I put the I suppose after, lol, to show that I was just speculating.
    But yeah, ntr. Maybe unhealthy people don't, but I think in general healthy ones do.

    Edited to add: I think maritsa meant perceiving, as in irrational? Idk

    I know this probably pointless to debate, so youll excuse me here, but how is saying that "if it were anything thats what it would be" be any different from saying "that is what it is"? How is speculation any different from making a decision about it? Seems like a half assed way of saying thats what you think it is, without saying thats what you think it is. In other words a cop out.

    if it's really a pressing issue i'll be more insistent and proactive if just asking doesn't work.

    oh and Maritsa you didn't answer my question above. We're still guessing what you may have meant by it.

    lovelier than

    I see this as pointless thread. I don't see you open to the idea of any other type and the times that your type was questioned you would go bananza, so people here are mainly wasting time or will be called stupid (even if not directly).

    "Looks like you still have a lot of growing up to do Reubs." - even comments like these that are mild are still not something I would ever write in a thread where I ask for other people input. Whatever your type is, you are way overly sensitive about this.

    I've talked to her a lot in chat and she just seems very much more Ne+Fi to me than Fe+Si. She seems more about reading people and figuring out their motivations, which is something I associate more with IEE than ESE, and she has trouble putting things into action, which I know is a problem I often have and I think is common for IEEs, but I think is less common for ESEs - they to me seem pretty good about getting things going when they want to. I've talked to her so much, probably to her more than to anyone else on this forum, it seems like I'd be able to tell at this point if we were on the same wavelength or not. Of course, not everyone necessarily thinks I'm IEE either.

    I dont go "bananza". I was debunking stupid NTR arguments or misinterpretations of me. I had a feeling that such weak reasons were behind people typing me ESE or Fe-base and I wanted to see if there was some really good reason I should be considering. So far I dont see anything convincing. Reubs' reasons dont hold water at all. Do you have a more substantial basis for typing me ESE, Ssmall? (besides me writing something you "wouldn't ever write").

    And no, i am not very open to another type because i've been studying socionics pretty intensely for the past 2 years now and identify strongly with delta and IEE and not at all with alpha, much less ESE. I have had some success applying socionics to my daily life with this typing, which also goes to show that I'm probably not too far off about my type (and believe me I questioned my type constantly for the first 6-7 months or so). Like mentioned previously in this thread, the only other type i would potentially identify with is EII, but Ep and extraversion seem pretty clear to me.

    Despite that i did want to give people the floor to air out their thoughts about why they think ESE for me, other than just continually stating "YOU'RE ESE WA" in chat, or listing me as ESE in type threads. I did not open this thread because i am soul-searching for my type. I thought i made that clear in my OP, so it's not like that's a secret here.

    Also, it would have been one thing to say what you are saying, if I was the only one negating the ESE/EIE typing. However, see thread. I am far from the only one who sees ESE as a ridiculous typing for me, with strong substantiation. Add to that the people who are sort of on the fence, and i think it's pretty obvious to most people that I'm IEE, especially to people who are close to me here on the forum (unlike you--we've barely talked). So, I am not exactly like you Ssmall. We are not all carbon copies of each other. Live with it.
