    @Investigator thank you for the in depth response dear dual ^_^ if what you're describing is true, then I do relate to SEE-Fi more than SEE-Se. I guess if I had to answer the question why I'd really like to continue working is to keep seeing people but also contribute to society, which is a more altruistic goal even though still self-oriented. I don't relate to manipulating people overtly, in fact I feel like if I do it I'm actually doing it unconsciously with emotional pressuring. Usually I feel like it's quite useless to do so though because I can just get what I want on my own. The biggest reason why I feel like SEE-Fi is not applicable is that to my understanding the emphasis of one of the functions comes at the cost of another; in that vein, I felt that my Te is not weak enough to be a Fi subtype, whereas I need guidance in Ni matters quite frequently. But I see that may have been a misguided understanding, since the subtype doesn't really change the underlying functions anyway. I'm not socionics-savvy enough or even willing to look for the details that might really differentiate the two.

    Would you say the Fi sub is more flexible in Fi matters than the Se sub, and vice versa about Se matters?

    I understand what you mean when you say don’t feel you’re Te is weak enough. I found this particular phenomenon in EII-Fi’s. If you have ever met an EII-Fi, they seem much more organized than an EII-Ne in average despite having weaker Te. This may seem unintuitive at first, but I believe that this is because we underestimate how much the shifting of functional values effects how the relevant functions manifest. EII-Fi may not be the better at organizing their environment than the EII, but they “care” about the organization of the environment more than the EII-Ne. Of course there is other things going on the background like sensory functions being boosted leading to them interacting their environment more. However, when it comes down to it, you have more EII-Ne’s in science as they benefit from boosted +Te/-Ti. Another thing you have to think about is rationality vs irrationality is one of most important dichotomies in Socionics. You find no matter how much SEE-Se strengthen their -Te/+Ti, they still seem somewhat disorganized. This is because an irrational function is steering the ship. So instead they use their +Se/-Si to “will” themselves into productivity.

    To answer your follow-up question: Of course. The whole concept of duality is that you have strengths that you can flexible use so that their dual can rely on them if they need/want to. The potency of a particular strength or weakness is merely de/emphasized depending on the subtype. At the end of the day, an both ILE-Ne’s and ILE-Ti’s both have relatively weak +Si/-Se. Just because the ILE-Ti has better +Si/-Se doesn’t mean this function is completely covered (for example they need constant monitoring so they don’t pick very unhealthy habits like skipping meals for work).

    Edit: I forgot to comment on the emotional pressuring stuff: I find requests from SEE-Fi’s very hard to reject (maybe that’s why I replied to this thread, haha) My SEE-Fi friend doesn’t realize how good he is at persuading people (at least not yet...) to do something he wants the, to do. While the SEE-Se knows he is good at it (though still less capable than the SEE-Fi) and does it more often with a lot more force (+Se/-Si blended together with higher value for -Fe/+Fi). While the SEE-Fi’s tactics are much more indirect (-Fi/+Fe), and more persitent (shifting value from +Se/-Si to +Si/-Se).

    Okay, you have convinced me of my SEE-Fi-ness. I begrudgingly admit, although it hurts! @Adam Strange and @Aramas you can gloat in peace now. It only took an ILI.

    Anyway, I understand what you mean by the Fi subtype outwardly appearing more organised because they consciously bring more attention towards that, rather than the perceiving function. At times I feel like I'm both too rigid and too flexible with Fi, whereas Se is a constant and I don't pay that much attention to its process. Maybe this is the byproduct of looking up to my delta ST dad and using his behavior as an example my whole life.

    I'm miffed, now that I've more or less accepted SEE-Fi, that I have no more excuse to get people to talk about me.

    I'm not gloating. I'm not even 100% sure I was right.

    You could always do something scandalous. People love to talk about scandals.

    I'll leave the scandals to the Fe doms It feels very disingenuous and unnecessary to pretend in order to get attention. I don't want to pretend, I want to command it. But one cannot do that with conviction and strength behind it if they have nothing to show for it. Which is why I will wait until I have something truly interesting to talk about lol.

    Being scandalous doesn’t always work either. My thread is dead. >: (

    I was sure of Se subtype prior but I am not so set on this at the present. I see in you a distinct rationale that is lacking in many SEE’s (nothing correlated to their intelligence, just you seem very focused for an Ep type). However, that could be waved away by several things... Enneagram, environment, etc. I’m not sure if Se or Fi subtype is more focused between them but I assume it would be Fi subtype because of the undercover Ij element... Though Se subtype is more Te heavy.

    Hmm.
    Any thoughts?

    I'm more focused than EPs on average, yeah, but compare me to anyone who's not an EP and I look really all over the place lol. Environment probably has to do with it, with my EJ parents and everything. When left to my own devices I quickly lose a lot of that. Considering DNCH, currently I fall under Normalizing, so that influences things too.

    I liked what Investigator said about the difference between his Se and Fi subtype friends. The Fi subtype, although objectively "worse" at Te, values it more and therefore that translates more into their outward behavior. In contrast, the Se subtype, although "better" at Te, does not value expressing it as much, and may therefore appear more scattered. At least that's how I see it, and why I decided on Fi subtype.
