Many years of introspection back when all I knew was that I was an enneagram 4 and my intuition was introverted. By the time I got to socionics and read just a little bit I was so sure of my type that I didn't care to hear other's opinions. I think my typing thread was one of the most short lived on this forum. Not sure if I have those bragging rights but I am claiming them until someone proves me wrong.
My only real confusion was due to the j/p thingy. I had always self typed by cognitive functions in MBTI so I assumed I would be INFj in socionics but it didn't match up to my knowledge of self although I could relate to both descriptions of INFJ/P in MBTI. I could not relate to the EII descriptions. The whole function stack was off and not how I experience them. When I read IEI it was a given that that was my best fit.

That sounds like it was easy lol, I guess years is quite a while though.
I can see Ni base for myself, not sure if it's weird that when I was doing the MBTI cognitive functions I always thought I was Ti dom. A lot of the IEI male descriptions sound good but I can't say I'm that sensitive, perhaps brought on from life experiences. Are you kind of a chameleon? lol

Dual type (as per tcaudilllg)
Enneagram 5 (wings either 4 or 6)?
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

It's ok, it can be useful sometimes for certain activities, new possibilities(that might not be relative seeming, but end up being so) are good to consider occasionally. Sometimes it is useless, but everything can be.
I fail to see how that would help lol

So what do you think @GuavaDrunk ?
That's more like 6w5 than a 5. The ILI 5s don't search for outside reassurance.
6 is an attachment type :: seeks reassurance, negotiation with others, balance of viewpoints (integration to 9).
5 is competence type :: seeks validation of their knowledge and competence, or correction with information they didn't take into account if they are wrong.
Fives are thus more self-sufficient. 6w5s may mistake their five wing for main type but absence of 5-ness shows.
Ok so quick question for anyone, is it normal for an IEI to seem like a logical type? Whenever I ask the people who know me pretty well to pick out information elements for me, just having them read the elements and stuff, they normally pick Ti and/or Te, and either Ni or Ne. Granted these people don't know much about socionics other than what I've given them to read. I know you guys think I seem pretty friendly from the video, and for the most part I think I am, I'm definitely not like that all the time though. Anyways I think irrational seems very likely for me though.
This myth comes from MBTI where some idiot once got the idea that INFJs are the smartest most logical ethical type. Of course this is all bs and there's no basis for it.

There have been some discussions on this 'phenomenon' before - that an especially pronounced hidden agenda may be mistaken for base or even some permutation of creative function. For some IEIs on this forum this meant trying to type themselves as either INTp or INTj to the point that there was an entire discussion posted about this in the early days of this forum: IEI: hybrid type of INTj and INTp. This was most pronounced with the far-side Ni-subtype IEIs whose creative Fe was so strongly suppressed by their base function that they turn into a 'rolling ball' of Ni-Ti and at cursory glance could seem logical.
I didn't say stronger, I said accentuated-- meaning it's of stronger focus to the person. They seem more analytical and less expressive. I don't believe the theory can really account for these types of deviations but it's been a pretty widely known idea that being dominant subtype leads to accentuation of the mobilizing. There are several IEI-Nis on the forum that demonstrate this pretty well.
So from that post it sounds like I could be one of those outliers,thanks for sharing this, I was beginning to think something like this couldn't exist.
His logic makes sense, I don't see how you can believe in a system such as socionics and not believe there are some deviations within a type, that's kind of silly.
100% T type
I want to say SLI final

Ofc every person of each type is not the same,but that doesn't mean there has to be socionics subtypes to explain it. And lets say an IEI-Ni their Ni is stronger and Fe is weaker. How does this affect their Ti? It doesnt. an ethical types Fe can not be weaker than their logical function. They can try and use their logical function more but theyre not better at it.
Differences in types can be explained by enneagram and how theyre brought up etc
What? Weren't you thinking ILI? SLI hasn't even been brought up lol.
I believe @Contra said accentuated functions can occur, not that they would be significantly stronger. Yes I think people of the same type could have slight variances in the strength of their functions. There is nothing that says one INFp can't have stronger Ti or Fe than another INFp, it would probably still be close, but different none the less.
Also for @Chakram
"Carl Jung wrote that for a logical type ethical functions become suppressed, and that an unconscious grouping of functions arises in accordance to the conscious contents of functions, for example, the unconsciousness of a sensing type manifests primarily as a suppression of intuition. From C. Jung's deductions and conclusions about the relationships between functions of mental and vital rings (conscious and unconscious - by Jung), it becomes evident that with excitation of an ethical function there is suppression of logical one, and with excitation of sensing function there is suppression of an intuitive one. This happens not only on mental, but also in vital level of EIM model. If, for example, intuition is strengthened, it is strengthened in both orientations - introverted and extroverted, which also applies to other functions. Thus, with excitation of intuition of possibilities (Ne) of IEE model, the intuition of time (Ni) is also strengthened, and simultaneously both sensing functions (Se and Si) become inhibited. With excitation of ethics of relationships (Fi) there is a concurrent suppression of structural and business logic (Ti and Te).
Carl Jung has also noted that logical functions can be easily combined with intuition, but never with the feeling ones. Intuition, same as sensing, is not in opposition to logical functions as are feeling functions, that compete with logical ones. Thus, the excitation of intuitive functions in our example of type IEE correspondingly slows down the functions of ethics of relations and ethics of emotions (Fi and Fe) and, respectively, excited both functions of structural and business logic (Ti and Te)."

There is nothing in typology what says about only "slight variances". The main thing typology says - a man has one function stronger than his other, for example T vs F. It does not says how much is this balance and how strong in absolute value the function is. Some people may to have a function significantly stronger than other people of same type. Most people are similar and live in similar conditions - so you don't see this difference, but it's possible.
