The EP vs IP Dilemma

Yes, because the eyes show so much more than what the guy wrote about himself ... lol

What he wrote was trite and superficial with regards to determining his type. Being a shut-in says nothing except that he probably wasn't popular in school. I was the same way for most of my life until college.

His behavior is more stereotypically introverted, but is anything but conclusive. The behavior could just as easily be due to trauma or some other fixation as psychological type. I've known Se and Fe primaries to whom much of what he says about himself could easily apply.

Grav you have to recognize that Socionics is a theory about cognition and thought patterns, not behaviors. What he says about himself can tell us some things, but they are not boxes on a checklist.
