    Cool Do I sound more IEI or EII?

    Thanks if anyone takes the time to read.



    I've always been deathly shy/easily drained and in tune to "things going on behind the scenes," that weren't readily apparent on the surface. Ever since I was a small child, I've always been good at reading people's emotions, and having insights into people's psyche based on little information (Intuitive ethical type?).



    Due to this ability, I was always able to get along with people with different backgrounds (and often had sympathy for the underdog), or be more diplomatic to things I knew were "sensitive topics" where as other children were more blunt as that sort of people-reading ability/empathy was learned over time for them, and I could present myself in an appropriate manner.



    Despite this, I alienated myself from others by being an obnoxious 4w5, I think, haha, and around the age of 10, I grew into being a deeply individualistic/go against the grain/question the rules/don't blindly follow them (Fi?) type of person, and would get into conflict with others due to a stubbornness in refusing to conform (I cringe typing that, but it is true). I am very feisty.



    I despise generalizations about anything, as I think they're limiting/Occam's razor-like (Ji?)



    I'm deeply analytical, and obsessively logically scrutinize things to figure out if they're clean of bias, and tend to annoy others with this sort of nitpicky quality of picking things apart.



    I'm out of tune with my surroundings and completely oblivious/neglecting of health, and it annoys me when others try to make me aware of it.



    Si egos bore the ever living hell out of me, and I tend to see them as stagnant/limiting people who are not adventurous enough about life (too comfort oriented (devalue Si???)



    I'm very disorganized, and I procrastinate everything.



    I'm completely detached from the physical world, but I do like to engage with it much more than the Si egos I am surrounded by (aka traveling, doing outdoorsy nature stuff, etc), but I always feel detached, and have difficulty coming outside of my own head.



    I strongly dislike high Fe users, and often see them as disingenuous or vapid (4 or Fi?).



    Apart from the cringy 4 stuff, what type do I seem like? Could I be either? People always VI me as IEI, but due to how much conflict I have with high Fe users, I'm not sure.




    I'm much, much, much less interested in the "group harmony" than IEIs are painted to be, and I'm more focused on individuals. I am also not very accommodating. I told my SEI friend I was "empathetic" and she laughed at me. LOL.

    At first I thought you could be IEI, and then thought you could be an Ni-dom, but if you are extremely analytical, and especially if you dislike Fe-users, then that points to ILI.

    Certainly, your user name is more ILI than IEI.

    However, my overall impression is that you are most likely IEI-Ni.

    You can be both judgmental and empathetic

    I want to to know what things do you find right/wrong? Human rights issues where are your positions and why
    Outwardly... do you find people interrupting and in bad behavior when speaking in a debate rude or do you think it’s fair to do it?

    it makes it easier to distinguish your type when you can peer into how the info elements are experienced by each type

    this is really helpful, Android. Go to the Green box and click on the blue hyperlinks. It gives really incisive descriptions about how you feel about every information element (Si, Te, Ne, etc). http://www.wikisocion.net/en/index.p...le=IM_elements

    In a war or conflict do you believe it is important to take a side or remain neutral?

    Here’s how Fe and Fi works

    Fi looks to identify with other people’s morals in terms of whether what they say makes them a good or bad person (focusing on character and intentions)in terms of what the Fi type associates as good morals
    Fe types looks to others and sees if they have morals that align with their own (focusing on us or them and motivations)

    For instance if someone else votes for Biden they are likely “good” people who mean well by others
    If someone votes for Biden their morals align with the Fe user’s own morals

    @Android Based on how you write I don't think IEI cuz your writing is pretty serious and muted in tone.

    i'm IEI-Ni 4w5 but even when writing seriously, i have a hard time pushing down my silly inner voice that wants to make things more casual and lighten the mood up. whereas even when you make some little jokes, your tone remains quite formal and it's almost a little disjointed. EII is more formal than IEI, but based on what you wrote, EII is a bit of a stretch.

    yeah, on rereading you seem soo Ni-Te. excepting the 4w5 bent to your thoughts, you think in the same way as my ILI dad. he has android keychains too Also, he would totally put that sunglasses emoji tag next to the title, if he were to post here.
    please consider ILI-Ni!

    I'm definitely rather formal/dry, and there is a possibility that I'm 5w4 rather than 4w5. Haha. I have an Android theme going on throughout all of my usernames. I'll definitely consider it

    OK Mr Nitpicker alien..ator ... Android... just go for ILI. I see that Fe consumes you. Just by doing some intersectional set theoretical approach based on statements I think only ILI survives out of 16. Also they seem to fit well with many ILI's.

    So here's an mbti and socioncis accurate INFP and INFJ relationship

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dd8mt_hNAU

    being concerned for the "disruption in harmony" is Fe rather than Fi. So I feel like MBTI got the functions wrong. INFJ are Fi and INFP are Fe for that reason. And the reason why something bother's the INFJ so deeply is because it disrupts their moral compass internally aka "It's wrong to do that to someone."

    I personally don’t really care about MBTI as much anymore..
    no they are not. It's just that MBTI made an error in understanding what the functions were and how they were assigned to the introverts.

    That's because they really have them mixed up. It should be clear to everybody now that Socionics/Jung has discovered the real types. What mbti is talking about is broken. Converting types is meaningless, but the only thing that makes sense is J=rational, P=irrational. Or just stick with the Socionics/Jung terminology.
    The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

    https://personalityjunkie.com/10/int...-intuition-ni/
    why are you derailing this thread. Stick to the topic. Or open a new discussion. We have way too many threads that went to the graveyard this way. By attributing some of the J qualities to Ni...mbti is able to explain why INFJ is J and why their dominant auxiliary function (Fe) does the bulk of J ness.

    Let's look at your fist link

    "You are used to having insights and hunches that frequently turn out to be correct. These "aha" moments are introverted intuiting at work."
    BOTH INFJ and INFP have epiphanies. the difference is INFP epiphanies are attributed to Ne rather than Ni and the sudden demonstrative visions of events that happen to INFJ is attributed to Ni. In fact I would surprise you in saying that ESTJ too have strong epiphanies. How is that possible being led by Te and Si? IDK you as the ESTJ Facebook group and find out. This is mbti's definition of "Ni" or Intuition.

    Epiphany: Epiphany is defined as a sudden and profound understanding of something. An example of epiphany is when someone has been looking for their lost keys and suddenly has an idea of where they are.

    "What happens is this. You feed your mind with information and data. You let your unconscious mind process the data. Then, perhaps when you are in the shower, or jogging, the answer just pops into your mind." Fine however INFJ are more in the Fi moment rather than Ni and INFP are more in the Ni moment than Fi

    MBTI wants Fi to be attributed to INFP because as they say INFP "feels" it's like a state to them however they misunderstood Fi which is to JUDGE

    The OP is trying to distinguish between EII and IEI and since you claimed that INFP IS IEI and EII, INFJ, I think this is on topic. However, if the OP wanted, I can move it.

    I have never heard of this. Can you link a source for this? (not confrontational; curious) As far as I am aware, the sort of intuition talked about in those articles is almost exclusively assigned to Ni rather than Ne.


    Like I said, I disagree.


    Sure, I understand what Fi is, but how is contradictory to "INFP feeling state"?

    I think you are probably IEI based on how much you say you dislike Si. The Hidden Agenda is often pretty strongly valued, and for EIIs that would be Si.

    Disliking high Fe people is not a point against Fe valuing. One of the main reasons that supervision ITR occurs for instance is that the supervisee’s lead function dominance is perceived as TOO high by the supervisor. Furthermore, IEIs are Ti HA, so it makes sense that you would seek more Ti environments than Fe ones, generally speaking. Again, because HA is highly valued; and again, Fe info would be the “opposite” in a sense of Ti HA.

    Yes, they have the functional analysis messed up. When I use the four letters such as "INFJ" I simply refer to EII (FiNe). Even Jung uses "judging types" synonymously with rational types, so I just prefer to totally ignore the flawded mbti functional profiles. But the four letters are for some reason nice to use sometimes, I guess I just got used to them when I got into typology.

    But mbti is not a separate system or has any essence of its own.
    The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

    What matters is to have experienced rationality/irrationality as the real psychic phenomenon it is. Descriptions are always more or less cryptic unless one is connected to the psychological reality behind them.

    i know the essence you speak of but my point is MBTI is not Jung directly, it’s someone’s interpretation of Jung, and so is socionics. One is not, for example, “mistyping” themselves should they see P type on MBTI based on that description but turn out to be J type on Socionics. Socionics subtypes might contribute to this some.
    so no, “INFJ is not EII” or whatever. They are a separate system in that they have a (at least slightly) different thinking, history and interpretation of Jung behind them.
    Mbti is Jung because “Gift Differing” by Isabel Myers references to Jung’s work it’s just that she misunderstood the introvert functions. She thought the INFJ is the introvert form of ENFJ and flipped the functions. She thought the introvert could be better explained by having extrovert Fe as a rational function of how they conduct the external world. She thought all rational types must have Fe or Te in order to be rational

    Isabel took this paragraph from Jung’s work on the Subconscious attitude meaning the P types and turned it into the validation for why INFJ must contain Fe

    “In a general way, the compensating attitude of the unconscious finds expression in the process of psychic equilibrium. A normal extraverted attitude does not, of course, mean that the individual behaves invariably in accordance with the extraverted schema. Even in the same individual many psychological happenings may be observed, in which the mechanism of introversion is concerned. A habitus can be called extraverted only when the mechanism of extraversion predominates. In such a case the most highly differentiated function has a constantly extraverted application, while the inferior functions are found in the service of introversion, i.e. the more valued function, because the more conscious, is more completely subordinated to conscious control and purpose, whilst the less conscious, in other words, the partly unconscious inferior functions are subjected to conscious free choice in a much smaller degree.”

    It’s in her book

    Page 20 “Gift Differing” “The conclusion that the auxiliary process takes care of the extroversion of the introvert and the introversion of the extrovert is confirmed by observation.”

    So that was very stupid and convenient at the same time lol

    Goes on to say ISTJ prefer thinking to feeling

    No shit sherlock lol

    Due to this ability, I was always able to get along with people with different backgrounds (and often had sympathy for the underdog), or be more diplomatic to things I knew were "sensitive topics" where as other children were more blunt as that sort of people-reading ability/empathy was learned over time for them, and I could present myself in an appropriate manner.



    Despite this, I alienated myself from others by being an obnoxious 4w5, I think, haha, and around the age of 10, I grew into being a deeply individualistic/go against the grain/question the rules/don't blindly follow them (Fi?) type of person, and would get into conflict with others due to a stubbornness in refusing to conform (I cringe typing that, but it is true). I am very feisty.



    I despise generalizations about anything, as I think they're limiting/Occam's razor-like (Ji?)



    I'm deeply analytical, and obsessively logically scrutinize things to figure out if they're clean of bias, and tend to annoy others with this sort of nitpicky quality of picking things apart.



    I'm out of tune with my surroundings and completely oblivious/neglecting of health, and it annoys me when others try to make me aware of it.



    Si egos bore the ever living hell out of me, and I tend to see them as stagnant/limiting people who are not adventurous enough about life (too comfort oriented (devalue Si???)



    I'm very disorganized, and I procrastinate everything.



    I'm completely detached from the physical world, but I do like to engage with it much more than the Si egos I am surrounded by (aka traveling, doing outdoorsy nature stuff, etc), but I always feel detached, and have difficulty coming outside of my own head.



    I strongly dislike high Fe users, and often see them as disingenuous or vapid (4 or Fi?).



    Apart from the cringy 4 stuff, what type do I seem like? Could I be either? People always VI me as IEI, but due to how much conflict I have with high Fe users, I'm not sure.




    I'm much, much, much less interested in the "group harmony" than IEIs are painted to be, and I'm more focused on individuals. I am also not very accommodating. I told my SEI friend I was "empathetic" and she laughed at me. LOL.

    I'm late in adding my two cents but the OP sounds unsure in the theory of Socionics. You have a lot of questions that are related to what the information are and what they are not. You do not sound like either type from the description, but I dont know you. VI wont work because its an absurd theory. You don't sound like you value Fe but that all I can really gather from the post. You sound like a loner, and not in a pejorative sense. You sound like you like watch people and try to figure them out. The question I would like to know is what is the origin of this shyness and disconnect with the outside world, is this social anxiety or depression or do you think these are actual traits in your personality?

    If you want a guess you sound like someone who values Fi but isn't great at it. You sound like an introvert and you admit to not paying attention to the outside world as much as others. So my best guess from the information would be ILI.

    On the usefulness of MBTI that can be applied here:

    4w5 aligns with INFJ INFP therefore we can expect for this person NOT to be something like LSE

    I get what you're saying. Your view could be true in theory. But this is not an abstract game. Imo you seem disconnected from the actual reality, the phenomenon. The Socionics / Jung types are such a fundamental discovery when you actually experience it. Saying that mbti has a "different interpretation" just seems like an excuse when they obviously got some things wrong. And why wouldn't they? Reading Jung is not easy. But Socionics managed somehow to get it right.

    I really don't care much about this relativism. You can't invent a typology from thin air. The things you talk about have to be real and typical. Socionics with the intertype relationships gives us the tools we need to check things for ourselves.
    The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

    All of the above. Social anxiety, being a detached observer, and an inherent disconnection from the outside world.

    I get ILI on the official test, but I still take the time to ask because people say that I seem IEI, though I'm not sure how much of that is gender bias because I'm a female. It seems absurd to me to see myself as a Fe-creative type, but people have told me that Beta Fe is much different than my impression of stereotypical MBTI, placating Fe.

    What you can say about Fe is that it's dynamic, 'changeable', extroverted. Fi is static, internal, not so easily changeable; both refer to ethics though (and things like 'morality' can be both Fe/Ti and Fi/Te based - and it's important to view them as whole 'pairs' of Fx/Tx when looking at them). Fe is collectivistic, Fi more individualistic.
    Hm. I need to learn the difference between Alpha Fe, and Beta Fe. I have so much conflict with ESE and SEI; I can not be in the same room as one without fighting with them.

    My mother (SEI-Si 9w8 spsx) and I bicker daily, and we always say we are the antithesis of each other.
    Especially when I'm showing her a study or external statistic, and she ignores it in favor of anecdote. I don't know if that's Te PolR or not.

    I agree that people are generally speaking with stereotypes in mind. I’d just look into the two types (ILI and IEI) then. I like Beskova’s descriptions personally:

    https://www.the16types.info/vbulleti...NTp-by-Beskova
    https://www.the16types.info/vbulleti...NFp-by-Beskova

    These are still biased within the context of Eastern European society from a few decades ago but they’re otherwise a pretty good attempt to be gender-specific IMO.

    @Android, I was reading the above-bolded sentence and thought to myself, "That's a phrase I hear all the time from ILI's and never from IEI's. But I already said that I think he's IEI-Ni. Let's read more of this."

    You're a female? I apologize, because I was reading your posts as if you were a male. And yeah, in that case, I'm changing my opinion to ILI.

    No problem. It's all a matter of perspective.

    After reading a bit more, I think ILI fits best. Especially with the article below. I think I'll still take the time to research more, though.

    Perspective, and social expectations. Incidentally, the above-bolded phrase is also something that I hear all the time from ILI's, and never from IEI's. It reflects the natural tendency of ILI's to reframe a problem when the first pass turns out to be wrong.

    I dated a female ILI for a while and had a chance to learn a lot about this extremely rare species. Lol.

    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
