I've started to think I might be SEI-Fe (or IEI-Fe) with a good balance/connection between base and role functions. I kind of feel like I'm able to access the big picture/the underlying patterns through sensory data. I think it was pictured pretty well in the movie Perfume: the story of a murderer. My LSD usage (I've eaten acid maybe around 10-15 times) has made this even stronger. However, I kind of feel like I need to have Ti'ish clear maps, logical systems and correct tools that speak to my senses to handle the intuition... A surface to dive through. E.g. ritual/sigil/sexual magick, tarot... Different spiritual/social/psychological/philosophical maps, systems and theories.
EIE feels like something I'd like to be. I know it sounds a bit weird that my self-typing is SEI and I admire my supervisee type, but that's how I roll,
I guess I have a tendency to like weird and unpleasant things in general. I could see myself being
kind of Se-valuing... But that could be ADD-related.
I don't necessarily
like being ordered around, but I know that's what I sometimes really need.
However, there's a little problem in typing me IEI or EIE... The quadra. Almost all of my close friends are alpha (one possible delta, who dates an alpha I hang out with a lot). I'm uncomfortable in beta-like social events. The only thing I could relate to in beta descriptions is that I love dramatic and intense self-expression, at least when I get to do it. Only as theatre, though, or as a part of a ritual/as a way of leading me to different states of consciousness. Like I mentioned elsewhere, I enjoy beta entertainment and art. It feels somehow impersonal enough, I can just sit back and watch it without getting involved unless I want to drown myself into it.
I have a strong imagination, which could be IEI'ish? I developed it in my child and teen years, so it coul've also been my way of escaping the sensorily unpleasant surroundings (I lived in a very ugly and noisy place with my messy, messy, messy father, and finally moving away from there made me come out of my shell and feel better about life)... The inside of my head is heavily centered on past sensory experiences – I'm adept at recreating physical/neural sensations without external stimuli.
As a kid, I used to think of dramatic, sad or otherwise intense scenarios and stories in order to produce intense physical/neural "emotions", kind of like the physical side of feeling heartbroken, out of breath etc...
Agh, I'm having trouble keeping this post organized and forgot a lot of the things I was gonna write about... I think I'll go for a walk and see if I'll post more later.
In the meantime, please feel welcome to express your thoughts on the matter.
