how much do you relate to this description?
As a creative intuitive type and as a strategist, the EII doesn't miss an opportunity to become close to the people and quickly bridges the interpersonal distances.
On the whole, yes, although not all of them. As opposed to 'barbaric' attempts at merging with other people, EIIs often have a sense of positive-bartering, and seem to think their position of strength and moral safety is through offering good natured friendship
As a declaring type, who is sure of his/her rightness and oriented at close spatial-temporal relationships, and as a positivist and an evolutionary type, the EII uses any opportunity to become close to others, to introduce positive notes into their relations, and to show him/herself off in the best possible light. Towards this goal, EII's creative manipulative intuition of possibilities comes up with a myriad of approaches and techniques, helping the EII to quickly become liked and gain positive consideration of others. In this respect, EII's creative Ne works as a "set of master keys" which allows him or her to find an individual approach to almost anyone. The EII is almost always able to spot something positive, interesting, and attractive in a new person and will use any occasion to say something pleasant and complementary, to show his/her own emotional sensitivity, judiciousness, and prudence, to receive and welcome the new person, to offer them help, services, or needed information.
Sometimes the EII as a constructivist type may resort to logically framing his intentions in order to get close with someone.
particularly the last sentence seems real. It's an embodiment of TI Role; EII have often asked for "reasons" for a variety of things, and openly seem to be interested when there are structurally sound logic combined with Te to "develop in a direction"; I think EIIs tend to "fish" for Te through Ti in this way, bc they are more comfortable with how Ti suits their Fi aims.
Quite frequently Dostoyevsky ends up imposing his/her friendly and welcoming attitude and services on other people in the process. And towards which purpose does the EII do this? As a positivist "program" ethical declarative type, the EII seeks to establish strong, long-lasting relations with those around him.

Being surrounded by friends and people who hold him in positive regard elevates the EII's self-assessment on the aspect of +Fi – every new friendship, every new positive association the EII can view as something that is actively positive and beneficial for him/herself.* As a pragmatist-objectivist of Delta quadra, the EII doesn't miss out on opportunities to strike up and acquaintance and is potentially beneficial for him/herself. Towards this purpose, the EII aims to tell of something that is pleasant and agreeable, to reward others with a compliment or kind word seemingly out of nowhere and for not much at all, to be of service, to bestow a "generous" advance, for which, however, the EII will later expect reciprocity.
EII do best in environments where they can positively quietly influence their network, very Mr Rogers like. When they are denied this ability, it can be scary, uncomfortable, threatening, and/or the EII may feel damaged, in my experience. At their best, this is how they can operate. I have a particular fondness for this from EII and also IEE to some extent, because they can act in a way that is hopeful about the future of human relations. Especially now, that seems, important...
... the EII opens up before a person the "treasures" of his soul, captivates him with unusual notions, statements, and ideas. He guesses the person's moods, sympathizes just at the right time, patiently listens to his conversation partners, and even offers some kind of (even minor) help. With all of this the EII can very quickly "win over" people – positively predispose them towards himself, gain their trust and confidence, bind them to himself, submit them to his will, and eventually draw them into his game and make them his "moral debtors".
The rate of this strategic takeover and capture of a person will be monitored by the EII subconsciously and conducted on all of the aspects of his informational model.
