[Psyche-Yoga] Sexta 6

[The Exception]

Ah, interesting. I think that oftentimes I'm too afraid of goofing up emotionally, so I have a hard time "letting loose." But when I'm in a good mood and in comfortable company I have no problem telling jokes and contributing to conversation, just I have little energy to do these things.

Same here. I feel I'm quite emotional and rather expressive without it being overdone like a 2E but I also have all of the emotional vulnerabilities of a 3E.

What I relate to in 2E is this: "Their love for emotional games and prodding in the emotions of others can lead to hostile reactions, due to overstepping emotional boundaries." I think that I learn socially by experimentation; not sure how individualistic a trait that is. I suck at social "games" unless I am the one making the rules.

That's the part of 2E I don't relate to. I never like to intrude and prod in on people although I admit I can be quite curious sometimes regarding peoples' emotional drama. I don't like emotional games. It seems manipulative and dishonest. Prefer things to be more straightforward.

What I relate to in 3V is this: "Nonconformist tendencies and actively (Though not necessarily directly) questions authority, preventing hasty or rushed decisions that have not been properly thought through. Strong knowledge of what they do not want." I can relate to this more than I can relate to 2V or even 2E.

I relate to this too. I still think I relate to 2V more overall but I could be wrong about my typing.

When you get a chance, could you look over my questionnaire that I posted?

For anyone that knows me in real life, 1L and 4F would be pretty obvious - I'm like a walking caricature of these descriptions. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing... For what it's worth, I don't think I come off as a know-it-all unless you ask my opinion of something, or ask me to explain why I did something in a certain way.

Okay, maybe I'm misunderstanding 1L. @Suz also mentioned that the dogmatic, know-it-all-ness could be more 1V like. I do feel like I'm most confident in my logical thoughts and my opinions about things. I know why I do things a certain way. Why I think the things I do. Sure my opinion can be swayed, but there's got to be good convincing argument.

i've been mulling this over and i dont think any of these sextas are meant to correspond to any socionics quadras. What I see are possible overlaps, socionics quadras spanning more than one sexta, as well as certain sextas potentially appealing to members of several different socionic quadras. I think megane set up these polls to kind of explore the correlation between PY and socionic self-typings, so I dont think we should be jumping to these conclusions or swaying people's minds like that.

Yeah, you're right. It's probably just a coincidence but I still can't help seeing the resemblance and seeing relationships between different systems.

Hmm- maybe my interpretation of an emotional "game" is wrong in this context. I was more thinking of light teasing, which in my experience requires emotional expression in order to let the other person know what you're doing. Maybe I just don't know what an emotional "game" entails in this context. Care to elaborate?

Maybe I'm LVEF after all and I misunderstood something.

Will do.

I enjoy light teasing with people I'm comfortable with. I guess in terms of emotional games, I was thinking more in terms of manipulation. Flattery to make someone feel good but not necessarily sincere. Or on the converse, making someone feel bad on purpose because you don't approve of them or whatever. Yeah, I'm probably misinterpreting the definition.

No, maybe you have more experience in this realm. I am much younger than the majority of this forum. That description in particular is quite vague.

I'm 30-something but people think I'm younger than that. I don't act my age being infantile erotic style and all.

I don't necessarily have alot of personal experience in this realm, just what I've read and heard about from other people. Maybe some personal experiences but more limited.
