Si is extremely easy to see in her. She often talks about health topics, takes vitamins, distrust doctors and is often occupied with things like cleaning the house. She even works as a house cleaner. Definitely is ethical over logical. Behavior is more Ej then Ip. Conclusion: ESE with strong Si focus.

I know this is common question but I've never seen any definitive answers: Whats a surefire way to tell apart an LII from an ILI? I'm looking for a tangible answer not random socionics stuff.

Just for the hell of it I'm going to list the types I identify with from greatest to least:

ILI
LII
ILE
IEI
LSI
SLI
LIE
SEI
ESI
SLE
SEE
IEE
EIE
EII
ESE
LSE
If we're using this post as a guide, I'd say it's a fair argument for Process/Evolutionary > Result/Involutionary, which would leave your list looking something like:

ILI
ILE
LSI
SEI
SEE
EIE
EII
LSE


LII
IEI
SLI
LIE
ESI
SLE
IEE
ESE
