Childlike types are weird

[Cat King Cole]

I know you have "playful" under victim, but that's often a stereotype of infantile.

Actually, Victims are specifically "play games". Infantiles won't play games with you, unless they're board games.

“Life sometimes gets so bogged down in the details, you forget you are living it. There is always another appointment to be met, another bill to pay, another symptom presenting, another uneventful day to be notched onto the wooden wall. We have synchronized our watches, studied our calendars, existed in minutes, and completely forgotten to step back and see what we’ve accomplished.”

More for me, then.

Somehow I feel that ILE's can be real scheming and calculative.

Besides that, Infantiles come off as playful in the jolly innocent way whereas Victims "play games" in a somehow passive-aggressive (aggression in a much broader sense of the term) way, the stereotype being the girl who just "happens" to be in the same place he is and "accidentally" drops something in front of him.

Infantiles have an endearing childlike playfulness to them that is charming to some people, this I'm guessing is also different in men and women, women would be more girly and men would be boyish.

Immediately what comes to mind is Mozart in Amadeus or a character like Tony Stark or Sherlok Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.) or the photo of albert einstein with his tongue out. They have a sort of easy going, non-chalant attitude.

@ died, What if I like the idea of pampering my SO by doing things for her?

[Minde]

Supportable? As in, they are able to accept the help of others maybe? Not needing it per se, but able to be appreciative of and comfortable with those kinds of contributions?

I would be interested if there were sample quotes of something an infantile would say to their partner.

You'd better get examples from all four infantile types and average them or something. Otherwise your data will be seriously skewed.

That's probably some good advice.

This is quite an old post, but I'm interested in other responses.

Personally it depends on the context of the situation for me. I switch between serious and playful responses as the situation requires. EP infantiles probably lean more toward more consistent lightheartedness.

An example of a serious response I give when I'm interested in someone is to sit and talk with them about their life and their problems. I'm pretty good at that and enjoy it. There aren't really certain things I say, and that's my approach to life -- being responsive rather than proactive, I mean. I prefer to focus my energy on specific problems, (ideally ones that are given to me by other people and the implementation of which I don't feel pressured to deal with myself) rather than to just constantly throw ideas/energy out into the void like IxEs do to see what they can turn up.

When I'm more playful I tend to become much more self-aggrandizing and teasing; the joking image I try to act is one as special and thus worthy to be valued highly -- but it's still a joke, intended to make the other person laugh. For instance, I'll dance exaggeratedly to whatever ambient music might be playing (in a store, for instance); the joke being that I'm a sensual and fun person, but since I'm so bad at it, it provokes laughter. I'll also make jokes encouraging caretaking behavior; for instance if someone says "I wonder what I should do..." I might say something like "You should feed me more of your pancakes." (most of the jokes I make are contextual and it's difficult to just come up with one like this; they're usually funnier!) The idea I think is that the joking does two things: it really is a sincere attempt to make the other person happy/amused, but it really is equally meant as an invitation to take the joke seriously. "You can feed me pancakes, you know. You can believe I'm special and unique and worthy of love..."

The description of how you act with your mommy GF's reminds me a lot of my EII bestfriend. Meanwhile i'm more like any Ne lead, I become more clingy and "needy", not in a toxic way, but I do, and Delta ST women seem to want to give me a lot of attention when I do, which is awesome, because I can't control myself, I want it, I need it. I seem to become vulnerable too, which i hate with any other types.

That's also how I perceive Ne creatives. They 'create' Ne and inject into the environment and it seems kinda acted.
