it's really hard at first for a person to see their base function and people just assume others can see it better than them and say "oh you're this or that" and they believe it. I've seen that happen here. It is always best to not judge yourself on how you view yourself but how others view you because we have desires about how we think we are when it's just not the reality. The person who typed me was my mother. She read the functional descriptions and said, "this one." How was she right? She asked specific questions.
1. Honey, read and describe to me what each one is first. I read her this: http://socionics.us/theory/information.shtml
This is how I described them:
"Mom, Ne is the dark triangle. It is a person who is active and actively searching for newness, novel things and possibilities; since it's an extravert, they are talkative, highly social. Light triangle is someone more about inside their own mind...Dark L is a person who is always sarcastically cracking jokes and wanting to take center of attention with dramatized movements and the person prods others so they can get and read emotional cues and understand their motives. The light L is about someone who makes judgements of morality in the actions of others and in the world altogether. The Light L is about altruism and responsible actions with regards to other human beings, and meeting the needs of people."
After doing this she thought about it for a minute.
2. Then I read her this: http://socionics.us/works/socion2.shtml#1; http://socionics.us/works/semantics.shtml
After reading all of these to her. She said, "honey, I know you think you're intelligent in a non emotional way, but you're not. You're not an ILE, you're an EII; your interest in Law, medicine, and journalism is not from a standpoint of a type who does not concern themselves with humans but rather that because you love humanity and you learn these things to help them. You're always looking to find and fulfill the needs of others in creative ways so I can see why you might think you're ILE. But you're in your head a lot and you lose track of things around you. I always have to protect you from people who take advantage of your good will and kindness."
That made me cry. She knows me so well.
This is why I love being here...to help people![]()
