You seem to be implying that ESE can never be insightful or intelligent, or have a somewhat sombre nature; I disagree.
If my history is any indication, I've been attracted to more ESIs than any other type - and yes, like all other types, ESI can also be insightful and intelligent......
a.k.a. I/O
I never said that. You said unique insight, and sensors are not typically "unique". Don't put words in my mouth.
Unique: being the only existing one of its type or, more generally, unusual, or special in some way.
Then, mb you are not attracted to unique insight, rather, just insight or insight related to physical world or interpersonal relations etc. That's mb not even unique, but mb you perceive it as "unique" due seeing just your own perspective as "normalcy" in such areas (subjective 1D perception in other words). Then, over the top friendly and jolly doesn't match much ESE.If my history is any indication, I've been attracted to more ESIs than any other type - and yes, like all other types, ESI can also be insightful and intelligent......

Anyway, I really don't care to what traits you feel attracted to. Was just clarifying N9 socionics comment. Or mb you were just twiddling.
I'm tempted to type a person I know as ESE and I wouldn't say over top friendly jolly applies. ESEs can be chronic worriers; if they sense a negative consequence coming their way any trace of friendliness can just vanish and they go business mode. They worry and have push-through personalities, so they are good at planning ahead and with money, generally. The type of person that does well in their profession or that has secretly amassed a small fortune over the years.
that sounds ESI to me. My mom is ESE and a good friend of mine too. My ESE mom is actually not good to save money and none of them both find easy to make it either. :/ They both are friendly and cheerful. They don't have business mode. They have friendly mode, unfriendly mode, which are not related to business. They both are not good at planning ahead. They are responsible workers, though.
I know ESI who's good at saving and making money. I know SEE who's good for making money, but not saving. Both seem in need for advice in what and how to invest (ie. how to make their money work for them instead of the opposite).
