FDG says "The EIE males I know are quite challenging, controversial, argumentative and somewhat bitter." That might be true. However I think that is a subtype issue.
In person, I come off as a gentleman / hippie / intellectual with "hidden" confidence and an equally "concealed" sense of humor. I am the Ni-EIE subtype. However, that is not the whole story. In the DCNH subtype system, I am the C subtype, which can be confused with IEIs. Thus, I am very reserved on first meeting. I first learn a little bit about the people I talk to, rather than charge forwards with my hippie Ni swinging all over the place.
