    Default my dad is IEI and not SEI

    So for all of the posts I've written about him being SEI, I was wrong.

    I don't know why I didn't see it before. The other day it just hit me over the head how *obviously* IEI he is. Kinda ridiculous. I'm embarrassed. My apologies.

    When we are you young, and our parents are ridiculous, they are in the opposite quadra of us. As we age, and become wise, it becomes clear that our parents are in the same quadra as us.

    Eh, no need for a red face. My initial typing for my mom was incorrect and I've idly vacillated between quasi-identicals outside my first-guess quadra since then. There's nothing in her qualities or our relationship that can't be easily explained without socionics, and I prefer to view her as an actual human participating in this world instead of as a dehumanized collection of traits that exist only in relation to some foreigners' reductionist caricatures. Even though I'm fairly sure which quadra she fits best now, there's no real need for me to categorize her more precisely than as the my-mom type.

    But we trusted you! Luckily, I try to base my trust wisely on the ones willing to admit that they were wrong.

    It happens. I'm always second-guessing my mom's type before settling back on my original idea. It should ideally be easier to type your parents because you've known them for so long and so well in theory. In practice, it's harder because you only see the parental side of them, and, having known them for so long, see a multitude of types fitting.

    lol typing parents is hard. I've typed my mom as LSE, EII, ESE, IEE, and Fi PoLR. I've typed my dad as SLI or SEI.

    thanks Mune! I feel a little better now. I think the relationship one has with one's parents can make it harder than it otherwise might be.
