I've found the influence of my LSE father rather obnoxious at times, because the
![Extroverted Sensing](images/smilies/Se.gif)
comes packaged in
![Extroverted Logic](images/smilies/Te.gif)
valuing/lead.
However, I was still usually swayed by him to some extent.
I do agree with @
Chae that
![Introverted Intuition](images/smilies/Ni.gif)
lead types are easily swayed or guided by people with strong volition – because they are both weak at it and receptive to it. Reinin has talked about this tendency in
![Introverted Intuition](images/smilies/Ni.gif)
leads, too. They often end up doing something they did not want to do in the first place, or what was against their better judgment.
As an IEI, I can fall prey to this dynamic especially when it involves Fe and Social instinct related matters. For instance, I let myself be convinced that I should study Law; my father wouldn't stop bringing it up, so I just gave in. He'd bring up Social reasons, and Self-preservation ones... Only once I was depressed because of my choice did I snap out of my stupor and decided to stop studying Law against my parents' wishes.
Again, being Fe valuing and Social instinct, I care about what other people think and say; especially if they are close to me and have greater influence on me, I can be swayed.
Basically, when it comes to anything I should
do, I can be easily swayed.
The only area where I can be stubborn and resistant is anything involving my

-

beliefs; when it comes to what makes logical sense to me and just "falls into place" in my mind etc.
This kind of stubbornness is apparent in the way I act on the forum often times, when it comes to Socionics etc.
P.S: Being swayed easily like that is also often connected with Type 9. I know of SEI 9s who could also be more easily swayed,
![Extroverted Sensing](images/smilies/Se.gif)
Ignoring and
![Extroverted Ethics](images/smilies/Fe.gif)
valuing adds to that. ESI 9s, depends. Initially they might be influenced, but they tend to push back way sooner when something goes against their
![Introveted Ethics](images/smilies/Fi.gif)
values.
P.P.S: It's difficult to distinguish what I said from
![Extroverted Sensing](images/smilies/Se.gif)
PoLR, because they are also rather defenseless when it comes to
