How do I know if I am an EII or SEI? Or another completely different type?

Well, that's a very open-ended question, but I think the way to determine your type is through several methods simultaneously because different methods have their own strengths and weaknesses. A combination of the functions/elements making sense, dichotomies largely corroborating them, behaviour roughly in line with what would be expected, and self-identification with the descriptions of the type you think you are is probably best. There simply isn't one particular thing that's like, "If you do X then you are for sure type A rather than B." Real people aren't caricatures, so it's very unlikely that you'll fit any type 100%. Rather, you're looking for probably a 70 ~ 80% match with a theoretical type. I would say first that SEI and EII are kind of an odd pair to be caught between though. Just going by the dichotomies alone you're looking at an irrational sensor vs a rational intuitive (although they are both introverted and feelers). I think SEIs are generally going to vibe as being chill, laid back, and down to earth, while the EII is going to feel more put-together, upright, and fanciful. They'll both be more reactive than proactive, and both will be fairly feely. I'd suspect the EII to vent to their friends a lot less than an SEI though if that helps.

For what it's worth though, you almost sound more likely to be Beta NF to me, but that's just a passing feeling I have. You might have a lot of good reasons why you aren't, but I don't know you that well

Can you explain why I might be IEI or EIE? Is it because of Se suggestive or Se mobilizing respectively?

Oh I mean, like I said, it was kind of just a vibe based on relatively little. I wouldn't give too much thought to me saying that. I tend to feel that beta NFs are more prone to adopting an array of uncommon moral ideologies than Delta NFs are, so the bit about antinatalism made me think you could potentially be Beta NF. Obviously though, not everyone who adopts a given position are the same type though, and there's no reason any other type couldn't also hold the same position. Just relying on this post alone there isn't nearly enough information to come up with any particularly useful type guesses

What should I fill in to get properly typed?

There's not a magic amount or specific set of questions that will work every time. I don't know how to predict when I'll be struck by an insight lol

Generally for me to feel someone is "properly" typed I need to interact with them in person and through a variety of mediums in several different contexts over an extended span of time and then also hear from them that they resonate with the type that I settle on for them. Only then will I feel confident in saying that I truly know their type. My guess for you will likely change with every few sentences I read from you until I've amassed enough to really see the underlying threads, so it's hard to say.

The shortest answer is just, as much as you can/feel comfortable providing. I also don't believe I'm a particularly good typist though, so who knows

Types on benefactor ring can be misunderstood as each other, and this definitely wasn't the first time I have seen this kind of phenomenon.
But they both do have distinguished characteristics without looking at Quadra and Temperament.
