LIIs/INTjs who are social and well-liked

[Rebelondeck]

..........I work with this LII analyst. He's overweight, bald on top, has a scraggly red beard and dresses like he grudgingly put clothes on when he got out of bed but they spent the last few days rolled in a ball on the floor. I like him, but an IEE described him as "revolting".........

I haven't met professional LIIs who could be described as scraggy although I did meet one with an actual body odour condition that could water ones eyes by mid-afternoon. They usually seem to appear well-kept but nondescript; if they were fashionable, it was by accident but none were obese or revolting. The look that most LIIs seem to prefer is invisibility and what you describe wouldn't achieve that; now, many ILIs seem to like a counter-culture appearance.........

I didn't say I thought he was obese or revolting, just that he was overweight and an IEE thought he was revolting. I'll PM to you a picture of him standing next to an LIE, and you can decide for yourself.
I've worked with this guy for six years and both he and I are sure that he's an LII. We've talked about it at length and he's taken tests which indicated he is LII. He even gave his GF a test and she got ESE. Then she left him.

One thing to watch out for is whether someone has a personality or cognitive disorder. I worked with a guy who was extremely unprofessional and violated everyone's personal space pretty much by default. He lacked all self-awareness when it came to how others saw him, but he also interjected himself into everyone else's business because of high extroversion.

My first thought was that he was a complete POS. Then I slowly realized that he probably had some kind of autistic disorder and had a hard time processing other people's perspectives.

I did eventually figure out his socionics type: he was my identical. It did seem like he cared about behaving professionally, but because of his autistic disorder never figured out other people's unspoken reactions towards what he was doing.
