    Default Type an acquaintence

    This person is very polite and to a certain extend withholds their view on things. Their energy level seems really uneven, jittery, sometimes calm and collected other times a bit all over the place like they can't rest.

    They place importance on explaining things, yet are not very good at it: they seem to have a hard time in putting together one flowing explanation. Frequently they pause as they're talking and ask the questions asked of them back and they seem to have a difficult time coming up with an answer. However they're not trying to cover up for this, occasionally will say 'i'm sorry, i just don't know' without giving the impression they feel embarrassed by it.

    They dress real simple, nothing extravagant in their outfits, everything about them seems prioritized for comfort. Oh, maybe a bit of a flair like minor tattoos etc.

    They seem a bit shy; smile easily. Yet sometimes the smile seems to come out of nowhere, as if they have a joke their pondering internally but don't want to share.

    They have some experience traveling internationally.

    I know this is much too little to go by, but alas this is all i can share so far.

    Thanks.

    ILE, ILI, IEI, SLE, ESI, LIE, EIE all came to mind as possibilities from reading this.

    IEI came to mind.

    The thinking process you described made me think that the person is not a strong Te user. The way they try to explain things but aren't very good at it, and at the same time aren't embarrassed by not knowing is something I have seen in a few IEI's. I've seen it in other types, too, though.

    Their clothes being simple, not extravagant, and comfortable points to an Si-valuer, but not perfectly.
    I don't know any LIE with a tattoo. I do know IEI's with small tattoos which are out of the way and which mean something to them.

    The dreaminess points to Ni, and the open smile coming from nowhere points to someone who can use Fe, which could be IEI or LIE, but LIE's will rarely let you see them do this, and will usually explain what they are thinking about if you see them do it.

    IEI's and LIE's both can travel internationally. IEI's to explore and experience new and unique things, LIE's to get some business done.

    The closest fit seems to me to be IEI. However, be warned that I have been accused of typing everyone as either IEI or ESI, so you can safely discount my opinion.

    SEI.

    All of it sounds like SEI, and only SEI's do that with their smiles. Guy at work does it and we just smile at each other until it becomes really awkward lol

    I do that too sometimes, actually this is a pretty normal thing, not really type related

    ESE came to mind. They can definitely be a bit shy. If it's more than a bit shy, and more quiet- and withdrawn/aloof then maybe SEI or IEI.

    While I don't value cruelty in others, this type of person sounds too much in the other direction and it makes me uneasy. You shouldn't censor your views on things if you think them anyway in your own goddamn head- what's the point? It almost seems meaner to keep quiet about it. How can people get to know the real you if you're always polite. The disease to people please, yuck.

    I wouldn't exactly say this person censors themselves, it just so seems to me that they reserve their full opinion for certain circumstances and people; maybe sometimes they might judge the situation as unfit?

    They are really polite people it's true, but in a rule-bound way, like taking notice of the politically correct and incorrect and so on.

    I really enjoy their sense of humor but don't know how to relay it here.
