Posture
Also, Daft, you have a more relaxed posture that is not saying "Negativist". LSEs are just "stiffer".*(see below) You stand
not like my stiffer LSE brother but like my more relaxed, more self-possessed SLI brother. And that mysterious self-possessed quiet confident look of SLI always attracted girls attention. Combined with that SLI steady gaze.** Its a good thing.
See this:
Daft, you wrote:
Opposite of me. I most often say "yes" first. Because I am people-pleasing? Because I like to help? I don't know, but its caused me problems and I had to work hard at saying no, finding it hard to turn down requests, and had to start by learning to say, "Let me get back to you" to prevent too much "yes".
So, I do not think that this has anything to do with Postivist/Negativist.. And I still think you are SLI. Looks like one, talks like one, thinks like one. Must be one!
But I think I get it. I think that the "P" in you wants to keep it open while you continue to collect more info to be quite sure...
*Here is what is said of LSEs which is true of my very tall LSE brother and
not of my average-tall SLI brother -not sure of heights of types but this is how height played out in my particular family. From Socionics.com concerning
LSE:
So, EIIs, you need to look for that jerky gait! And Daft, you don't look like a guy with a jerky gait...
**(LSE gaze is more intense/active than SLI gaze while SLIs seems more deep and steady).
