Well, hello there. I'm a person and I do person things.

Well, hi.

I've been obsessing about typology for a couple of years now. A year in Mbti then almost a year for enneagram. I consistently get typed in questionnaires and online tests as an INTP 539 so/sp.

I also have a thing for personal development and use typology for self awareness. I actually googled how to develop each function and followed through on that up to now. And tried about all the enneagram advice I could find that applied to me. I did so mostly because when I found Mbti — I actually had a bunch of severe problems with my mental health and thought typology can help that. It's not perfect but it was still a huge success — along with the stuff I did outside typology.

Even without much of the suffering I had before, I found that I loved improving my life. So I thought I'd just keep going. And here I am with socionics.

I guess I'd describe myself as pretty damn curious. What I care about most is wisdom, knowledge and truth. And particularly sure that I'm more optimistic than normal INTPs and 5s due to my own experiences. I took a Big Five personality test and for the extraversion-introversion spectrum, it told me I was reserved, disliked crowds and noise, liked being alone, more prone to relaxation than thrill seeking and more distant. Except that one part in there where the subcategory of cheerfulness was one of the highest of the test takers there. Oh.

I don't know my socionics type as I'm entirely new to the subject. I did answer a whole questionnaire from here though and two online tests. I got Ti Ne Te Fi Si Fe Ni Se on one and ILE on the other test. I heard that an Mbti INTP could be a socionics ILE though so I thought I'd double check here as PerC is lacking in socionics enthusiasts. In PerC — someone just told me he was sure I was an Alpha NT ("Ti and Ne everywhere.") but wasn't sure which one. Then no one replied after.

Guess I'll see you guys around.

Hello and welcome! Self-improvement and success, super good I hope you feel better now and that we can help you even more.

Now to clarify your sociotype, here is the questionnaire you can fill out to get a typing by the forumites who are willing. For your curious 5 soul I recommend this forum section, there's everything you probably need. Right off the bat, I get the feeling that you're more ILI or LII than ILE but I could be mistaken; anything is possible since MBTI doesn't dictate Socionics type, the systems are different.

Anyway let's get the SFs in here, it's so empty @sorrows @Daddy Lessons @Tallmo @lungs

Thanks. The forum section was interesting.

Anyway, I already answered the questionnaire.

Well, hi.

I've been obsessing about typology for a couple of years now.

Just wait and see what will happen. The typology obsession has not even begun yet.

Socionics is basically about finding your real type and how it works with other types. Not type based on some shallow traits, but the real congnitive type. But how you type yourself in MBTI is a good start. It's not necessarily correct though.

I'm a person and I do person things.

Nice abstraction from the get go. Sounds very alpha NT.

Haha. It's my attempt at humor.

Why is it alpha NTish though? From my questionnaire thread, I settled on LII but I was wondering what makes this alpha NTish.

[The Reality Denialist]

Can be any kind of leaning towards alpha. Overall tone in that is alpha NT.
Detached and bit funny.
