What's my type? (Video attached)

Hi, @safsom2. My first guess would be ILI, as almost everyone has previously stated.

You speak in short, clipped, definitive thought-bits, which I’ve seen is a characteristic of many ILI’s. It is very well adapted to talking to people who doubt their own logic. It projects the idea “I’m right, and this is why. And this. And this.”

It is interesting that you identify the largest difference between LIE and ILI to be risk-taking. It is certainly one of the larger differences, and is related, I think, to their different levels of Se and Fe. LIE’s are definitely more willing to stand up in front of a group, propose some crazy, half-baked scheme, ask obliquely if anyone can see flaws in it (dual seeking), implement it, fail spectacularly, admit failure and ask for helpful corrections.
ILI’s hate to be wrong. They absolutely hate it, even to the point where it prevents them from doing many things which would work, if implemented and pursued.

ILI’s also have stronger Ni than LIE’s do. I see Ni as a pattern sequence, like drumming your fingers. One event follows the other in time wise sequence, right into the future.
When an ILI has very strong Ni, they will often speak in sequential sentence bits. “Here is the beam. It connects to the plate. The plate has a passage for water cooling. Of course I can calculate the heat flow. I have a PhD in CFD. You see? Here is the beam.....” and the cycle can repeat several times. It is as if they are imprinting a sequence of facts and events inside their heads, and incidentally are explaining things to an SEE.


Best of luck to you in finding that SEE. I suspect that you will encounter some ESI’s first, though.

I think this is something that's changed as I've gotten older; especially during adolescence. I was a lot more confident about my ideas and a lot more outgoing when I was younger; only recently have I realized that most of my ideas have already been made real. I'm saving my voice and my energy for if and when I find something truly groundbreaking; something to shock people. Until then, I need to read and learn more.
