You VI like someone who possesses strong Ne, with a tendency to visibly ideate "above and beyond" with your eyes and jerky, "head(y)" movements that can still be differentiated from those performed by a particularly hyperactive Se lead, who manifests a fuller body "fidget"; you also have reduced facial mimicry and a "flattened affect" often associated with high Ti.
Furthermore, the "troll" force is strong in you; and I approve. lol As far as your forum presence is concerned, that was the first indicator showing you possessed fairly strong, nimble Ti and weaker, though definitely valued, hidden agenda Fe--which manifests as the desire to be loved/admired/accepted though its method of securing that is somewhat rough around the edges and not readily discernible to most. HA Fe users live for the applause and will carry out a plethora of (usually entertaining and attention grabbing) "antics" to get it, but when seriously called out, there's usually some degree of capitulation from a place of "harmlessly just fucking around."
Anecdotally, I'm very close to a few ILEs of your ilk, the "in your face," "tell it like it is," "no holds barred," "shock jock" provocateurs/rabblerousers who pump that role-Se for all its worth; they're all 7w8s or 8w7s which I think strengthens the semblance of Se and moreover, "power fantasies" you've expressed in other threads that understandably may be mistaken for "beta" characteristics. You also seem to be fairly resilient, which I admire and respect.
Most importantly, remember that your brain and "ego" are still growing and developing--allow yourself the space to let that happen.
