For curiosity's sake, what are you seeing that makes you so certain?
Because as far as I can discern, though you all were pretty close, you're wrong.And the unanimous choice of EIE/ENFj is a fascinating one for several reasons:
1.) Though my pops had never been *officially* typed, by way of my own typing, he was an ENTJ (>Architect/Civil Engineer by trade; almost always chose objective external logic over objective external ethics, to his detriment; was a bull in a china shop concerning other's feelings and damn sure wasn't an empath; could only spare a leftover fuck here and there to maintain/encourage interpersonal group harmony; and his on/off again "why won't this work?/but we're so alike!" *activation* partner, my SEE mother). I've been officially typed as an ENTJ, and more specifically, an LIE-Ni in Socionics.
2.) After considering the feedback, you all have me thinking that perhaps I'm more of an LIE-3Ni and my pops was an LIE-1Ni or something along those lines. Initially, I thought that you all were simply seeing the "dreamy Ni eyes" but obfuscating them with a bit of "Fe-liveliness"; But then I remembered that according to Meged and Ovcharov's subtype theory based on contact/inert functions, an LIE-Ni (creative/contact) would have strengthened Ni, Fe, Fi and Ne and, therefore, experientially/behaviorally come off like an NF more so than an NT. Perhaps, then, these strengthened functions also manifest phenotypically.
3.) Having said that, in reaffirming that I'm not lie-ing about my pop's being an LIE, I came upon this thread about Ganin spreading LIEs concerning VI: http://www.the16types.info/vbulletin...-for-reference
Here is a mash up I did where I put the sketches side by side, including a mashup of the two, and two previously posted pics of my pops (rendered in B&W); Now step back and watch it get freaky > https://i.postimg.cc/j2ZvT43b/ENTJGanin-Pops-MASH.jpg
It's almost uncanny; he seems to be a composite of both LIE sketches.
HOWEVER, I'm still willing to be convinced otherwise. And thanks again for participating.
