    Default VI My Dad

    Because I’m curious what impressions he gives. Also enneagram guesses? Because I’m clueless about his enneagram . He’s a bit mysterious...lol Maybe I’ll add description later.

    Okay give me a few
    -
    Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
    Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?


    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    But is he observant? What comments does he make out of his perception?

    Yes, I would consider him observant. He makes comments on my appearance. Like, ‘what’s on your face?’, and is frequently pointing out people’s weight, whether they are over weight or have gotten thinner.. Last time I saw him he walked around my house observing everything, and then outside, and then told me I needed to fix my roof. Those are the kind of thigs he’s observant about...

    My initial guess was to say Fe PoLR. There's a gruffness to his face that I associate more with delta STs than I do gamma NTs. So, I think delta ST with SLI > LSE.


    EDIT: Looking at it again, I see a lot of resemblance to Warren Buffett. Perhaps Buffett is, indeed, an SLI.

    The retro photos are a treasure. I really like the Halloween one

    As for the type...hmmm, all dads are Delta STs, aren't they?
    Until it's settled, you should adopt that as a placeholder type for him.

    Yes, all dads are delta ST, including the dead and non-existent ones. I'm not sure what TIM all Moms would be, so I'll just say MILf.

    YES LIE-Ni! Sorry, just a little excited to see another person typing this way, because I just have come to realize someone I know very closely is actually LIE-Ni, and I totally recognized this guy as LIE-Ni as well, right away.

    To reply to myself (haha)... Okay so LIE-Ni Harmonizing types can resemble SLI's (their supervisors). I am aware not everyone agrees with DCNH theory but THIS is a real thing. I'll come out and say that I get this knowledge partially from an epiphany I have had about my dad.

    A while back I asked people to VI my dad. Sol was sure he was ISTj or ESTp, but IR and just knowing him really ruled that out. I had settled on an introverted sort of ESTj typing but Sol was right IN THAT ESTj(Si) never quite fit..... After studying LIE-Ni's I suddenly realized my dad not only looked like one (as a younger person especially) but fit the criteria. And he too appears to be quiet and mysterious in some ways. When I read that Harmonizing types can resemble their supervisors it all clicked.

    Anyway, I VI my dad the same way as your dad @aster: LIE-Ni. Is he a Harmonizing type? Very interesting case.

    @aster He looks a ton like my Ni-LIE dad, especially the younger photos of him. I am not sure what his type his because I have no clue how your dad behaves, but he VIs like a Ni-LIE regardless.

    He looks the kind of person who doesn't want his privacy fucked with. I hope you asked for permission.

    Extraversion / Introversion is one of the 4 Jungian dichotomies, and one of the 15 Reinin dichotomies. Extraversion in socionics is a perceptual quality defined by a focus on the characteristics and behavior of objects (people, things, events) outside the observer. In contrast, introversion means a focus on the observer's response to and perception of objects. Augusta likened the difference between extraverted and introverted perception to the difference between bodies and fields in physics. "Bodies" are objects with mass and certain qualities, while "fields" are the realm of interaction between bodies.

    Hmmm, not sure where people are getting the LIE-Ni from. He seems like an SLI VI to me. I find Fe role more apparent in LIEs - they're more charming/affable from the onset. But I am very new to this, so I could easily be wrong. @aster what do you think his type is?

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE
