    Default ESI vs ILI?

    I thought I was originally ESI for a very long time. It's because I'm usually very inwardly emotional and I didn't think I was intellectual enough to be Ni leading. Now I'm beginning to identify with fe polr more because I'm usually very stoic with everyone except for my closest friends, and that the Fi leads I've observed are generally more comfortable showing their feelings. Also I notice I lack the Se needed to be ESI. What's the difference between fi leading and fi hidden agenda in a person's behavior?

    Well, I think emotions can be poor indicators between F and T when you judge it yourself. Just stick with how they are defined and what makes you like that in the first place.

    Fi lead is always very emotionally reactive and has an emotional feeling with almost anything that happens in her life. shes also very aware of who and what she likes and dislikes. compare to type 4 in enneagram

    Fi hidden agenda has a need to always be correct and ''good'', and not evil. compare to type 1 in enneagram


    some examples of ILIs: Richard Dawkins, Jordan Peterson, Christopher Hitchens

    some examples of ESIs: Till Lindemann, Marilyn Manson, Lady Gaga, Amy Winehouse

    I hope that gives u a more clear distinction between the types.

    My ESI aunt is an observer of traditions. She will remind me it’s church day lol and my mom is lazy lacks will power to go out to church and will white lie try to get out of putting in the will to go 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

    Christopher Hitchens *might* be ESI. There are some credible ESI typings for him I've seen.

    @soft goats

    Here's something I was thinking of. Let's say someone questions your self-typing (in the past before you questioned it now). Would you feel emotional about this? Would you feel hurt? Because I actually do feel hurt/emotional when people question my type. Everything @Number 9 large was saying about Fi lead was right on, from my ESI perspective. I think it's maybe a good metric to go on because ILI's I know wouldn't care if their type were questioned.

    Isn't this easy: if every thought revolves around relation around you then it is Fi [even to a degree that they judge it by seeing things around them which is just strange]. If every thought revolves in time then it it s Ni by being throttled inner vortex of connectives giving political analysis for SEE politician.

    @Mrs.Tortilla
    Actually, I would be slightly curious and ask why they think my type is and why. However, I would probably be very skeptical because they have only ever seen my online posts that could be easily edited and offer little basis for personality typing. If I was younger I might get butthurt, but I don’t really care what people 500 miles away think of me.

    idk.. 15% of my thoughts revolve around my close friends, 40% of my thoughts revolve around comics and drawing, 30% is just cool stuff from the internet, 15% idle dithering, and 10% is what I’ll do tomorrow... make what u will of it

    Right. I would project that if I could but internally find it inexplicably hurtful. Lol

    Priority, leading is much higher.

    Note that intellect is independent of type and Fi types tend to hold emotion in until they erupt uncontrollably. Also, the way that you describe yourself does seem ESI-like.

    a.k.a. I/O

    FWIW, your avatar picture looks a bit more ESI than ILI. ESI’s tend to have very human avatar pictures, while ILI’s tend to have more inhuman, abstract ones. Or ones reflecting Fe-PoLR.
    Similarly, the username you chose was very human, evoking images of soft, furry animals nuzzling. ILI’s tend to choose harder, colder, time-related usernames.

    By those two measures, I’d say it is more likely that you are ESI.
