    Default How do I determine if I'm LII or ILI

    Good morning, socionisticianaphiles.

    I am trying to go back to basics to figure out my type and it's highly probably one of the two classic Chad types that we know everyone loves: LII and ILI. Another option is ILE, but this would overlook my strong introversion.

    I'm also trying to pretend that I am a socionics noob so as to lose baggage I have about my typing. Do y'all have any type descriptions that you favor which could help me decide? What characteristics are type "deal-breakers" between LII and ILI?

    Thanks.
    The end is nigh

    Your Fe is just way too noticeable and good to be ILI, sorry man. I think in a way you are like envious of the 'Gamma Bite' but don't be. Accept your Fe softness and wear it with pride.

    If your typology understanding is not enough even to be sure in your type - you are noob.

    > Do y'all have any type descriptions that you favor which could help me decide?

    To be sure in your own type is useful to identify types of people with who you communicate much IRL and then check how your impressions from them fit to IR theory.
    You more need to understand types traits (dichotomies, 8 functions, functions values and strenght, IR theory), but not read types descriptions. In descriptions trust more to what is met more often among authors.
    Best book in English is Filatova's. All sources should have similar content about typology basics. Do not use Reinin traits.

    If you want to get opinions about your type then make a videointerview.

    Could be. Not sure where exactly Fe fits in for me.

    Okay, thanks. Reinin traits always seemed suspect to me. An abstraction too far.

    As said in other posts, ILIs seem to have far more difficulty completing tasks while LIIs have more hesitation in starting out on an endeavour. ILIs seem to be able to immediately start working on targets with no specific plan to reach them whereas LIIs prefer to plan strategies and be very assured of success before even attempting a first step. ILIs are more adept at narrowing down on subjects and often beat them to death while LIIs have much wider focus that can be so wide that objectives may become overly daunting to them. ILIs can be more easily blindsided because their focus can be so narrow while LIIs often fail to see obvious details amid all the considerations that they usually have on their plates. ILIs seem to have a more academic bent and learn for the sake of learning while LIIs tend to learn because they want to produce a specific product. ILIs also seem to prefer thinking out loud and engaging others while LIIs like to take things away to think in isolation. LIIs also seem to be a little more diplomatic; they're closet rebels while ILIs usually make no bones about it. ILIs sometimes deliberately put on blinders for argument sake then take retorts too personally, which LIIs typically find irritating. Most ILIs often present a more self-assured, engaged persona than do LIIs who often seem rather withdrawn because of their detached, objective natures.

    Correct. ILIs seem to value mastery above everything else except defence. With all that potential and training, many choose to not play for real as if being maximally prepared is the goal - as opposed to metaphorically winning actual games. I've had to coax/drive many over finish lines. Although nowhere close to autism, many ILIs seem to play silly-bugger a little too much; it may be a defence mechanism.

    ILIs have a more direct communication style compared to LIIs, at least IRL. LIIs tend to take a more diplomatic approach than ILIs. ILIs also express anger more frequently and more intensely; LIIs will typically only display mild irritation -- at most, if they're quite angry at someone in particular, they'll typically just be cold to them, while an ILI would more likely curse them out and yell. ILIs will sometimes share personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences to someone they don't know particularly well; LIIs typically don't do this, or do it quite awkwardly if they do.

    What type would y'all say that HP Lovecraft is? He is a famous person that I am very similar to in terms of thoughts, values, physical appearance, and even native region of the world. If you have thoughts about his type, it would help me type myself. Of course, I could be wrong about our similarities, but I am highly confident I am whatever his type is.

    Could be. IEI is not the worst typing for me. The Fe creative thing would be strange though. I think most people who know me would be really confused by that.

I am also business oriented. Spreadsheet and graphs type of guy.

    Let me guess. The sort guy who welcomes everyone who acts stupidly but once they do not see he lets his stress out by mocking them. Sounds quite ILI to me.

    And I know a few LII's like that.

    We need better definitions.

    Maybe. Not sure if I do this more or less than the average person. I am pretty honest with people about my own failings, so any mockery comes with the implicit preface that I do the same to myself. Sometime I am too self-deprecating. Wish I could be a robot with no feelings lol.

    Having to manage people makes me wary. Like if I was forced into a leadership position my biggest worry would be my lack of charisma and assertiveness. I am better off when people have time to hear me out and see that I have interesting information to provide. I can be assertive when it comes to ethical and intellectual principles though.

    If I was do to well in a leadership position it would be because people in the organization vouched for me. I have struggled with self-advocacy because my natural tendency is to be self-critical and realistic.

    Maybe this helps,

    I originally self-typed as ILI because I value my close friendships and have a kind of valuation towards harmony or helping people and positive relationships. And I felt that I'm much more intuitively attuned over being a rigid rational type.
    What changed my mind -> although Socionics typically defines Fi in many ways, including relationships and such (which I do value), when I'm around Fi egos I realized we don't really get along. For example, they will value things, such as religion or not saying things that might be seen as racist or insensitive to someone's suffering, things like that. But I like to poke fun at those things and make stupid/silly jokes about everything. I kind of see myself as an eternal kid in a way where I don't take those things seriously and just want to have "emotional fun", but that doesn't mean I don't take my positive friendships and relationships seriously. I mean I will even make fun of my own suffering because, I don't know, it's just funny to me for some reason. But it does mean I irk Fi egos. So that's something Socionics misses imo. But as an LII, minus Fi, I otherwise get along with almost anyone. Though I am enneagram 9, so that might factor into it as well.

    As for rationality vs irrationality, I was reading a book about Jung that mentioned towards the end of Jung's life he started to see types in terms of basic groupings, such as NT, ST, NF, SF. To him that came first. So LII have strong Te and Ni and ILI have strong Ti and Ne (though observing function should theoretically be subdued in favor of leading function). So they can be very similar. So for me the big takeaway is super id differences. ILI seem to like Se things, like taking risks on intuitive understandings or taking direct action based on their intuitive perception of things, which can bug Si-valuers. LII seem to like Fe things, like being silly and making jokes about serious things and doing things more for the emotional entertainment, things that can often irk Fi valuers. Of course both can like either too, but I think it's more what you default to. And I think it's a bit different between types.
    For example,
    LII can take risks based on intuition, but in my experience it's more a Ti thing, where I analyze risk and kind of know what I'm getting into before getting into it. Like investing, I will group into high-risk/high-reward (and subsequently low-risk/low-reward) or low-risk/undervalued (moderate reward). Moderate reward is almost guaranteed to make a decent amount of money, whereas low-risk/low-reward probably won't be a lot of money (but is still safe), while high-risk can make a lot of money, but you are more likely to lose money; and I also don't really believe in short-term investing. I like to balance them all so I have a chance to make a lot of money, while never putting myself in a position to lose money. So for me, it's all calculated. An ILI as an irrational, has more of a tendency to bet on pure perception of the situation, analysis comes as an after-thought or something to boost the legitimacy of their position and they might invest in short-term or long-term depending on their perception of things. For example, crypto used to be something that had the potential to replace the banks and credit companies; it never happened, but an ILI might have bet on that potential. I think they like high-risk/high-reward investing and are more likely to get rich, but also more likely to lose money as well and more likely to bet based on perception of circumstances, rather than logic and reasoning.

    ILI can also like positive emotional atmosphere, but they don't really need it. They can be fun to work with, but then you can irk them and they might blow up, but it's short-lived and they will just be normal afterward. As an Si valuer, it takes me awhile to get back to normal. I sometimes think this is Te/Fi in general, where they are focused more on the goal and see relationships as something important to help reach goals, so interpersonal conflict is almost accepted as normal and okay as long as it doesn't deter from the goal; it's like they share some kind of relationship vision and so conflict is okay in light of that. As an LII, this is actually pretty unacceptable. I will drop team participation if things get too negative and shitty overall and have no problem doing that; I don't care how much we all have to "lose" if I'm going to be treated like shit in a team, so I think I do value Si and Fe in that regard.

    And I could be wrong, but this is what I've learned throughout the years about people and myself, regardless of whether or not this is really socionics or just something else in terms of psychology. And so I no longer type ILI anymore.

    Is she a lesbian? I didn't know that.

    I watched GOTG on the recommendation of my LII sister, who loved the movie. She thought it was the best thing she'd seen in years, while her LSE husband couldn't watch three minutes of it. And yes, Margot Robbie is hot.

    One point for ILI for preferring Robbie, one point for ILI for being dickish.

    I've also gone back to the Jungian basics ala Chp. X of Psychological Types. My thinking is that there was really no "Te" (for example) in P.T. Instead there was an Extraverted (comma) Thinking Type. So a Thinking type that is also Extraverted. There is a peculiar way that "Thinking" is used by an extravert, but it's still just "Thinking". All of the other three functions are to varying degrees submerged in the unconscious and take on the opposing attitude (If you are an Extraverted, Thinking type than your other functions are introverted in attitude). It's a subtle distinction from Information elements and MBTI's cognitive functions.

    The above is besides the point of this thread. I am pretty knowledgeable about the various theories, but I am trying to approach this as a noob.

    I watched GOTG on the recommendation of my LII sister, who loved the movie. She thought it was the best thing she'd seen in years, while her LSE husband couldn't watch three minutes of it. And yes, Margot Robbie is hot.

    One point for ILI for preferring Robbie, one point for ILI for being dickish.

    LII = 0
    ILI = 2
    I support this method of typing lol. But... I could also just be a dick.

    You could be, but I've never heard an LII admit that, while lots of ILI's have no problem owning that.

    Well, find your quadra first.

    A good way to set about it: the profile of the relative you really like to avoid or don't get on with, that of the members of your 'natural group' back in high school and the rest of the groups where the 'others' were, what nonverbal or minimally verbal cues do you get from strangers that make you like them instantly and exchange words naturally. You've been here long enough to separate idiosyncrasies from IEs.

    You could just as well be some other type if you can't decide between quasi-identicals. Get typed by G, or make a video in the forum.

    I don't think reading the theory, like Jung's chapter X, will help. There's too much risk of misunderstanding until you have found your type so you can relate to the functions in real life and learn from that.
    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.

    I'm also trying to pretend that I am a socionics noob so as to lose baggage I have about my typing. Do y'all have any type descriptions that you favor which could help me decide? What characteristics are type "deal-breakers" between LII and ILI?

    Thanks.

    hmm after some reflection on our interactions I do find ILI very likely, not sure if that helps you, though.

    Ni-dom seems very clear to me now, but it's an intuitive impression. I will send you a pm next week to discuss more about it. have a ton of work to do in the next three days.

ILIs will sometimes share personal thoughts, feelings, and experiences to someone they don't know particularly well; LIIs typically don't do this, or do it quite awkwardly if they do.
    No. ILIs have Fe polr so they would hesitate to show their true emotion to other, they could be blunt, be a dick but in a cold way. In the other hand, LIIs could be very bitchy and be annoyed to other if their work/job doesn't go well as they expect due to their Fe and their "detached from processes" nature. LII people aren't a dick, but could be a bitch.

    ILI's blunt style is :"the truth doesn't care about your feelings"

    I didn't explain this well. "Personal" is maybe a bad choice of words. It's not that they share anything deeply personal with strangers, but if they're lost in thought, thinking about something unrelated to a conversation at hand, they're more likely to mention it suddenly, even inappropriately. Or if they have strong feelings about something, especially if those feelings are negative, they might suddenly feel motivated to speak up and say "no, I don't like this. I'm not going to do this". And often in order to explain something to someone they bring up a past experience which left a strong impression on them as an example, and try to impart something of the impression it left on the listener. Some LIEs do the latter as well.

    I think for ILIs the attitude is less "the truth doesn't care about your feelings" and more "the truth is much larger than your shallow feelings, and your insofar as your feelings are shallow and inconsistent they impede both of us in our search for truth." They tend to respect strong feelings they believe are sincerely and passionately felt, even when they intellectually oppose them. Flightiness, and joking or trivial displays of emotion, they don't like, as well as any other sort of emotional display that seems to them not rooted in any deep conviction. For instance, they might not respect an animal rights activist because they feel intuitively that the activist is motivated by feelings of moral superiority, while they might on some level respect an Islamic terrorist because they feel that, even when he commits actions the ILI disapproves of, he's acting from his personal convictions.

    With all you said I think 2D Fe sounds the most likely. I still don't think you have 1D Fe or Fe polr though- it's still too good to me even if it's not 3D or 4D. Fe polr to me is just... you don't make the type of jokes you make with that kind of tone. It's so much more dryer and serious and "meaner" or something. If you have Fe polr I'd have to really re-think what I think about Fe cuz it doesn't make any sense to me. SLI is like an Iceberg and ILI is like an icicle at your throat. You're... neither of those things. Unless you're pretending to have better Fe than you do to sadistically fuck with a Fe valuer at the right exact time but I don't think so? lol.

    "charts and graphs" I actually like those things too lol & they often fulfill my hidden agenda function really well. I don't really use a lot of T to create them very often though.

    I think I agree that managing people well is a high Fe thing though probably. I am actually quite good at this even though I'm shy, and easily get leadership positions because of it both online and in the real world. If I can stomach through the Te of things.

    You got that right, I really respect and admire people with strong convictions, even when I disagree with their ideas. I don't known if the other ILIs are the same
