Where have you seen it portrayed as easy? I think the general consensus here is that quite often people are wrong. Its hard to use VI, its even harder to do it just from photos alone. It can be as an additional tool but I know only one person who uses mostly VI to identify types.
Looking for an Archnemesis. Willing applicants contact via PM.

Yeah, to me its more of a side hobby to work on and practice.
So this thread is somewhat useful because its gets you to at least notice facial patterns even if you can't figure out type. When you do figure out the type whether of someone here or irl, then you will have a catalogue of expressions and features to lookf for or piece together.
I would not say that VI is substantial evidence of type, but thats not due to the premise that type manifests itself physically, but due to the primitive stage of our VI skillz.
The end is nigh

...the human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'.

The first rule of fight club is... oh wait...
The first rule of VI experiments is, we don't doubt the pic poster in his typings.
(To avoid boring and mostly unnecessary discussions, and scare away future pic posters).
So don't feel obliged to defend. But to add, I think the SEI guy is correct too. His typical goofy lauch pic (1st) reminds me of an SEI. So I guess we can all agree on the correct typings now. We're just lousy at VI :-)

Shouldn't this be in anything goes, or alpha, heh.
I suppose i'm maybe just being a party pooper, but, i'm assuming this isn't serious.
Hmm they all seem quite Melancholy Phlegmatic to me. Pay particular attention to the 'gaze' of the eyes.
Anyway, I'm primarily interested in their Socionics types...unless your powers defeat you of course.
C - might be SLI
H - might be IEE
I - might be some Fe type
...getting warm
Eyes are important, but so is the mouth and area surrounding both features.
Multiple pictures are helpful as is context.
This would be last case VIing, so you have proven nothing you smarmy shit
