I definitely prefer the latter, but one of the things that is really confusing me is that I believe @
StereoTYPE is absolutely correct in saying I'm process. I've been reading into process/result for awhile now, and I'd have to do some pretty spectacular mental gymnastics to argue I was a result type. This is what led to my earlier comment in the shoutbox that I think whether I'm IEI or EIE really depends on whether we're going by archetype or by strict mechanics. Archetypally-speaking, I think I'm easily IEI, but mechanically, especially with regards to the process/result dichotomy (and to a somewhat lesser but still present extent, cognitive style), EIE appears to fit better. I was talking to my aunt (someone who I lived in the same house with for almost my entire life) about it too, and she finds it pretty hard to believe I could be EIE, but admitted maybe she just doesn't understand Socionics as well as she thought she did. I'm at a bit of a loss. At the very least, I believe I can be certain that I am a Beta NF with a subtype that obfuscates which of the two it is (i.e. I can't, or at least am very unlikely to be IEI-Ni or EIE-Fe, or else I probably wouldn't be encountering this confusion)
Very curious to hear more thoughts on my type if you would like to share them. I did make a Type Me video last night, but I was tired and once again hated how it turned out. I think I hate them so much because it's impossible for me to follow the set formula (posted here:
