1. How do you differentiate between you and the people you typed IEI? I'm actually looking for those SEI and IEI that almost look alike instead of extreme examples of each type

I see myself mainly as IP temperament. Regarding IEI vs. SEI or Ni vs. Si I see it as Ni should have a certain level of sophistication at the "4d" level and I don't really see myself as displaying that, which means Si has to be the lead IE and it's more this mystery of uncovering what that means since I feel Socionics is deeply lacking on the subject of Si in general.

2. How do you view EII? Since they are SEI's benefactors.

I get along with my EII sister. I am not sure I would get along with all EIIs. I tend to respect the humanitarian aspect of EII and will pay attention to its ethical rulings, as I consider a lot of EIIs more clear on ethics than I am. However, there is also this uptight aspect that I experience with all rational types (although Fe leads I experience as less uptight). Some EIIs I feel are kind of so thoroughly principled that they seem to be more arguing for conformity than ethics, and can have some very restrictive ethical "rules" of sorts. Rational types generally seem to like order more than I do. I view the world as in flux and not a static place. And therefore you kind of have to flow with it rather than putting up your rules and being like, world don't be the natural wild organic and transient thing you are, conform to these standards and structures and so on. I don't feel the need to control nature in this psychic way.

3. What is the type of the people closest to you? (BFF/Close friends/Romantic partners etc.)

My EII sister is my closest relationship. I don't really have any friends. A guy I dated was Ne quadra, maybe Ne dominant, but I started wondering if he was actually Ne HA. He actually criticized me for not noticing things, not being aware of my body, not being as glorious as him. I don't wanna say it's all bad cause I was terrible in other ways I don't wanna talk about and I put him on a pedestal and I feared being abandoned by him and I felt I couldn't survive if that relationship ended and it took me forever to get over it. I felt so ashamed about everything and the shame eats me up. But anyway, the criticism about lack of awareness of my body really hurt and I felt helpless to fix it and it was one of the many things that made me feel I can't fit in with other people and I need to keep to myself. I couldn't dance either because I didn't understand it, and it was another of these body awareness things. I also obsessed over it and tried to become more of a hedonist and this has not turned out well. At the time we were dating I was 100% in my head and mental health professionals had pointed this out to me, and it was this mystery when they would say that they live in their body and mind, I only live in my mind. I still feel so disconnected from my body, but I have something new which is an understanding of why it might be important outside of trying to look normal.

4. What is a Caregiver to you?

People who spend most of their time caring for things, whether other people, animals, plants, spaces, and who really seem to relish in nurturing things. The aspect that I could see as caregiver like in myself is my feelings towards animals, however I don't actually help many animals as I don't feel I have the means. But if I had the means, I actually would probably devote time to helping animals. I don't know in what capacity. I love animals and I always have and I often find them easier to relate to than people and I can't stand all the suffering and extinction.

5. Do you think a SEI will engage in philosophical thinking or fantasy 24/7 and seems to detach from reality more as they are getting older?

I think SEI can engage in these things a lot. I majored in philosophy in college because it was a major in which you can engage in philosophical thinking basically all the time. I wish I hadn't chickened out about grad school. I mainly didn't see how to navigate the social hurdles like letters of recommendation and how you need to be socially. I was afraid. I was also afraid of my lack of self-discipline. There were so many papers I wrote the night before. I got all As so it was okay, but it also wasn't okay. This level of procrastination concerned me. Although I suppose I never thought it was something I could overcome. Really my whole life has been defined by a lack of confidence and a fear of being incapable. I think it like so many things goes back to my relationship with my dad who drilled it into me that I was inferior.
