Liking the methodologies of things to be sound sounds like process over result. EIEs tend to use a methodology of soundboarding, which you seem to do with your aunt.

I didn't know it was called "soundboarding" or that it was an EIE thing, but yes, soundboarding is easily the main way I make decisions

Cool to see that you've taken an opportunity to examine yourself in this way, @AWellArmedCat! I think little 'vlogs' about typings like this are honestly a really good way of introducing a discussion, because it lets others of the forum see how you are and lets them come to their own conclusions in a more holistic way. And sometimes putting your thoughts out in an unedited fashion like this can be more revealing, in a sense, than just typing out your thoughts on a forum post.

You seem a lot more eloquent and gesturing in speech than what I would expect an IEI to be, but then again I haven't actually yet seen any videos of IEIs, self-typed or official. Maybe C-subtypes are really different in that aspect, and it makes sense why you'd identify more with it in that way. So to me, at least, the change in type is a good one.

I'm glad you enjoy the format! Maybe I'll start more discussions this way, as I find I do actually enjoy just speaking my thoughts aloud rather than writing them all out. I worry that sometimes I can may come across more stilted in writing than I mean to.

I may have quite a lot of practice at this, so I'm not sure how much is learned and how much is natural. I've been involved in performing arts on many occasions since a relatively young age, and for the last five years or so I've been teaching in some capacity or other (everybody from kindergarten to adults older than myself), and in addition to that I'm the oldest of all my siblings and cousins (of which I have 24) so I have quite a lot of experience addressing large groups and making sure everyone is included and participating.

So to me, at least, the change in type is a good one.

Awesome. I really appreciate your input and any further ideas you may have! I'm happy to hear my journey is an interesting one

[Manatroid92]

I have noticed the same thing with other EIEs, including myself. Sometimes, the EIE will already have a tentative conclusion in his/her head and uses the soundboarding as a way to test the hypothesis to see if they are missing important nuances. If there's nothing new brought up, they can unintentionally come off slightly dismissive. But I think this way of soundboarding and testing is ideal for a compatible LSI-EIE connection.

Pretty sure I might have been doing this, too.

Oh wow that's so funny that you mention that. My friends/family has often joked I only ask them what they think so that I can hear myself say what I've already decided out loud. Like in my head I decided to change my flair to EIE quite awhile ago, but I needed to hash it out several more times just so it like felt real or something before I actually did it

[The Reality Denialist]

Ok, you should do Nostradamus larp on this forum.

[I must say that your demeanor gives off serious IEI (-C) vibes, tbh. Let's give you accentuated Si or something. Someone established EIE VI method: they look like they are about to laugh and cry at the same... I'm guilty of this and also very very proud in a weird way.]

Lol yeah I mean IEI-C and EIE-H feel like incredibly similar types. It sort of feels to me like you could successfully analyze the same person as either type, sort of like how a Bb is the same as an A# and it just depends on what key you're in

I'm sure I probably just don't understand DCNH well enough. I'll read the book when I get a chance and maybe I'll be able to distinguish between them better after that. With my current understanding though it feels sorta like trying to determine if a nice midtone grey is a peculiarly light black or an especially dark white.

If you have an opinion on which I am, I'd love to hear it!

[AWellArmedCat]

Let's give you accentuated Si or something.

This is also something I've been wondering about. Harmonizing types theoretically have enhanced Si/Ni, but enhanced how exactly? How might an EIE-H's enhanced Si differ from an IEI's Role Si? Does the enhancement result in 1D Si becoming 2D, or is it more that the subtype describes uncharacteristic levels of development due to life circumstances for example?

I can’t remember specifically if DCNH, being something invented by Gulenko, really takes dimensionality into account, since Model G itself is more energy-focused. So I think it’s much more due to ‘life circumstances’ as you pointed out, as the psyche of Harmonisers is allegedly oriented to reducing ‘noise’ in their life and aiming for balance (in many aspects, like physical well-being, relations, etc.). They are basically rounding themselves out, rather than pushing their strengths super-hard (which is what Dominants supposedly do).

I hope I haven’t just restated what you already know, though.

Thank you so much! This actually feels highly relevant to accurately typing myself. I grew up the oldest of a pretty big family and was constantly told I had to be the example for everyone younger than me. I became incredibly conscious of every little way that the things I did rippled down through my younger relatives and I think I developed a lot of complexes because of that. I've always felt I had to do everything perfect and been very secretive about my negative emotions for this reason, so I can see how I may have developed into a harmonizing type. Then again, I could analyze it from the other angle. Because I've always had to keep such a tight handle on myself I really find myself yearning to express myself in a totally unrestricted manner and have developed into something of a libertine

Instead of this I'd think about Gman's system as a whole. I'd imagine that result types would go towards "hunter and gatherer" style of being/witchcraft while process types would do nesting/having prophecies in comfort of their homes.

I've always thought IEI suited me well. The Process/Result thing is the main hang-up for me though. I don't think it very likely that I'm a Delta

I don't think IEE is a likely type, but I won't say no to meditating on it for awhile. Admittedly it's not one I've ever considered seriously as I've always been fairly confident in my Beta-ness

I'm not seeing the Rebelliousness or Intolerance that is characteristic of EIEs. I see more of a happy, joyful, maybe inconsistent (?) type of person, pointing more towards IEE. Just throwing my perception out there!

[AWellArmedCat]

Just throwing my perception out there!

Your perspectives are more than welcome! I appreciate any insight into my type regardless of whether it matches what I may think about myself

[AWellArmedCat]

I'm not seeing the Rebelliousness or Intolerance that is characteristic of EIEs. I see more of a happy, joyful, maybe inconsistent (?) type of person, pointing more towards IEE.

I certainly wouldn't consider myself intolerant by any means. I've been more often accused of being overly tolerant of things that I perhaps should have stood up for myself over. As for rebelliousness, I think it depends on how you look at it. I've always been at the anti-authoritarian end of the political spectrum, and most of my close irl friends are some flavour of anarchist or libertarian. I'm fairly vocal about my dislike of authority when I'm comfortable, but tend to employ a lot of tact when dealing with authority directly. I don't feel any guilt about breaking rules as long as I don't see a good reason for their existence and they don't go against my own morals (if anything I tend to view breaking rules that shouldn't be there as a sort of righteous chaotic good act), but I also am not one to tempt fate needlessly and like to think I know how to pick my battles

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

Hey @AWellArmedCat

I could see EIE for you kinda more socially, you seem more confident and outgoing and IEIs to me naturally are more negative/awkward/bitter and shy, and talk more like Debbie Downers rather than trying to match the energy in the room all the time- but in the past we have both bonded over our loathing of authoritative Te Nursed Ratched type people - but maybe that's just you don't value it, and its only 2D? It's kinda confusing cuz you seemed to compalin about it more than other EIEs I've known though, with the Te Police State thing they are more like whatever and accepting about it. Maybe I'm not fully right about this though idk. It's hard for me to pinpoint Si polr sometimes, the fear of disease thing sounds stereotypical and kinda stupid.

tl;dr: so u come off as EIE more definitely, but u still often talk like Te is ur polr and not Si.

Either way I think you're really cool and I like you. =D

IEI are certainly more awkward and shy, but not more negative and bitter - negativity and bitterness can be related to stress on the non-valued regions, or to Fe.

>authoritative Te Nursed Ratched type people
Authority is mainly Ti (formal systems, rules), Se (material control, material power), rationals being more keen on rules than irrationals. Nurse Ratched is a clear negative LSI stereotype.

>Te Police State
Again, Ti-Se.

Yeah, these are all things I've considered too that make it difficult to decide which type makes the most sense for me. I resonate with quite a lot about both of them, and people have made such good arguments for either case. In any case, I like you too! We definitely vibe, that's for sure! ^^

Dominant SubtypeAdvisor — Enthralling
Prototype: Coach (personal trainer)
Above all, dominant IEE aims to encourage, inspire, and instill faith in success. He calls for proactive, decisive action. He is not shy and boldly defends his point of view and interests. He is capable of overcoming obstacles, unless his desire and passion has been extinguished. In important matters, he exhibits considerable persistence, though he lacks the perseverance to do everything carefully and accurately. Dominant IEE needs to constantly switch activities and communicate with a variety of people.

I definitely would say I tend towards being encouraging and optimistic. It's not so much that I think that horrible thing X won't happen, it's just that I think I have a lot of faith in our ability to overcome obstacles. For example, my LII cousin tends to share a lot of climate doomerism in our group chat, but it's always felt weird to me how defeatist the energy he gives off is when he does so. Meanwhile I'll be like, "I have no idea how, but humanity and the world will be just fine in the end. Every age has its catastrophes." As another example I refuse to surrender in online games that provide the option to forfeit. This drives some of my friends kind of crazy cause they'll see no point in playing a game they see as "unwinnable". No amount of torture is enough to make me quit though. Even if the other team clearly has a hacker on it I'd rather die endlessly to the hacker than quit a game. The rare times where my team wins an "impossible" game make it worth it, and I have a reputation to keep regardless.

He is confident when making major decisions; if his decisions are adopted or implemented, he will not fundamentally change. He strives to meet his obligations, but sometimes his words are not kept, as he is scattered. He’s not vindictive, but having given up on a person, he will easily expel them from his life. He possesses a holistic approach to solving problems. Challenges in life do not scare him, but rather lure him in.

I'm definitely "scattered" when it comes to my work, but I do take meeting all my obligations very seriously. I don't know if I'm confident in making major decisions... I feel like it's more like I don't feel their "weight" if that makes sense. A lot of people made a big deal out of me moving to Japan in my last few months in the US, and it always felt like they were overreacting to me. Not in like a negative way, but people were just acting like it was some kind of amazing thing that took a lot of "bravery" which felt ridiculous to me. Moving from one first-world democracy to another isn't brave or impressive. Their reactions would've made more sense if I was moving to Ukraine to report on the Russian invasion while undercover. I would definitely agree that challenges lure me in though, and I wouldn't really be averse to doing something more dangerous. I've met a few diplomats here who spent time working at rather high-risk US embassies around the world and their jobs sound super fun to me. I just wouldn't want to worry my parents too much lol

With distinguished foresight, he can intuitively sense the prospects of development for projects. Therefore, he never abandons them, despite difficulties; eventually, as a rule, the desired results are achieved. Having started many things, he lacks the strength and desire to bring everything to completion. When the fatigue passes, his interest revives and he returns to his work again.

I have a million projects on the backburner all the time. I come back and revisit/overhaul them periodically, but I never really finish them. I just never permanently lose interest in things. I've written so many drafts for novels/screenplays/comics/etc., and I really enjoy worldbuilding so I've made lots of maps, portions of languages, and drawn plenty of concept art. I just lose steam after awhile for one reason or another though. For example, I'll end up having some new experience that somehow changes the meaning of what I'm doing and I'll be unable to continue progress on it without major thematic overhauls that leave me with very little of whatever the original story was.

Dominant IEE is quite adventurous and willingly meets new people. He is inclined towards risky adventures, which raises his vitality. Success comes to him unexpectedly at the last minute when it would seem as though all chances of success are lost. Believing in luck even in the most improbable circumstances, he shows courage and determination and is able to psychologically overwhelm his enemy.

I can genuinely say for a fact that I have met thousands of people here in Japan, and I've only been here three years. I'm in a city which has had me teaching at 12 schools, and as part of English classes at the beginning of the year every student will introduce themselves to me, tell me a few of their interests, a bit about their family, likes/dislikes, and stuff like that. My students so far number about 2000, and I've at least said hello to a good number of their parents. That's not counting the people at city hall, the other teachers and staff at each school, my other foreign expat friends (roughly 40 that I know relatively well and another 100 or so who I meet off and on), the staff and regular patrons of my local hangout places, my circle of Japanese friends I practice with, my circle of friends back in the US, the network connections I try to maintain for business/life purposes, all those random people I've met and become friends for the night with in various bars around Japan, or that one "Chinese massage" lady in Osaka. I meet a lot of people lol

As far as overwhelming opponents that's my primary strategy in a lot of games. I don't enjoy spending too much time on more involved strategies, but I'm pretty good at fearlessly flinging myself into the line of fire and seeing how many on the enemy team I can take out before I myself die in a blaze of glory. I like catching people off-guard and love playing characters that get speed or alternative movement bonuses.

Sometimes overly trusting of people, he can sometimes talk too much. He considers secrecy a barrier to trust, and because of this, he is not afraid of revealing his own feelings. He loves to win the hearts of people, but not usually anything beyond that; IEE quickly becomes disillusioned with the objects of his sympathy. He is impulsive, extravagant, always visible, and interesting to those surrounding him.

This is very accurate, which is funny because I can also be very secretive if I'm uncomfortable. I try to only share the things about myself I think people will like and can be rather sheepish about topics I don't think the group would approve of. It really just depends on how confident I feel in my position in the group though. As long as I'm not scared of somehow losing standing I'll share everything. I'm also very guilty of "winning hearts" and then feeling satisfied that I won and ready to move on. It's really not intentional. I don't mean to lead anybody on or hurt them, but I very much impulsively try to endear myself to people, and that can very quickly turn into the other person thinking I'm more interested in them than I actually am, so I try to be careful about this now.

Dominant IEE is highly dependent on his mood, which affects his relationships with loved ones. He dislikes being questioned about his ability, judgement, and business acumen. He cannot always distinguish the important from secondary details, which is why he sometimes spends his effort in vain. He doesn’t distinguish frugality and thrift and has a negative attitude toward stinginess in people. He loves bright, beautiful things such as catchy and original clothes.

Yeah, I'm not thrifty at all and tend to be overly generous when I go out with friends. Especially here in Japan where the "Japanese thing to do" is to pay for a group all on one bill rather than splitting the bill up between everyone. I tend to pay the whole bill with some regularity and it's probably where most of the money I don't have has gone

[nifl]

Oh that's a good point. I hadn't thought of it like that, but it does make sense. Maybe some of the confusion comes from them both sort of being types of authority though. I mean like Te would still be authority in the sense of an authoritative text or source for something, right?

Any function has, in a sense, an area of authority. The authority of Te is in *more direct* correspondence with reality - data, facts, evidence. A text would be deemed authoritiative by Te mainly through observed correspondence with these parameters (it has to be remembered that Te and Ti are two sides of the same coin; Te types consider empirical observations valid because of the connection of the facts, Ti types verify their models of the world through evidence etc.).
Ti can consider a text authoritative if it fits a model - social, cosmological, political etc. For example, the validity of a religious, legal etc. text because of tradition (social unity) is an example of Ti. The validity of a text because of results (this seems to work) is more Te. Ti is altogether more speculative, abstract, unconnected from the external world (it is an introverted function, after all) - Ti has less need for verifying these emirically, Te has less need to unify the data into a logical worldview.

I attempted answering the differential diagnosis questions between IEE and IEI. Hidden by the spoiler are my individual responses. M's and question marks indicate me potentially agreeing depending on interpretation or just having no clue what the question was driving at.

In questions with multivariate answers, the answer "YES" corresponds to the answer option No. 5

Results incline towards IEE by 43 points

As an aside, are EIEs really this negative? The entire questionnaire could be effectively summed up by asking, "Are you a vindictive, intolerant person governed by unbridled resentment whose only joy in life is crushing the weak underfoot?" Seems like a questionable test to me. I doubt any type is so thoroughly nasty barring particular mental afflictions and/or harsh upbringing
