What IS my type?

[Narc]

A range of subtle and significant differences exist, several of which you'll identify with a cursory glance here:

I'll have to spend a bit of time with this. It seems like far less of a crapshoot than MBTI, where there is insane room for interpretation, rather than just a fair bit.

Good intro thread, esp. compared to those typically posted.

Judging by your photos and self-descriptions, I'd say you're most likely IEI.

Sorry I don't have an exhaustive analysis for you to indulge in.

I understand. Looking back, there is a LOT of information up there.

I actually ended up doing the test here. I don't know how the valid this test is considered to be by the Socionics canon, but it was extremely thorough, with sliders, questions that seem to narrow down based on my previous answers and then some photo questions.

I scored LIE 1Ni-(ENTj) with these alternatives suggested:

ILI (INTp): 90% as likely as LIE.
ILE (ENTp): 57% as likely as LIE.
IEI (INFp): 55% as likely as LIE.

ISTp confirm on that. Ok, I'm done

For the record, I totally knew you were pulling some sort of maneuver.

Socionics contains plenty of crap to shoot, its plumbing is just wired differently than MBTI's is and there's more of it.
