This thread has come up in the wake of @
Maritsa having @
totalize describe her in the chatbox, based on her avatar photo, in order to type him.
Iirc, she had already typed him SEI.
As he was going to look at her avatar, she said something to the effect that if he had to go and look at it (because he couldn't remember it), that already was a strike against Se. Then she implied he wasn't going fast enough. She had cross-posted with total, who had rapidly listed a few concrete facts about her physical appearance and also said she looked "pleasant but not jolly." Maritsa zeroed in on the word "pleasant" and said he could not be an Se type.
Typings for total apart from his initial LIE self-typing are all over the place. I don't know his type.
I do think, though, that if someone is asked to assess another person's photo, they often will say the kinds of things that they're socially conditioned to say. To me calling someone "pleasant but not jolly" is a rather English-sounding thing to say. English will call someone "a pleasant fellow" and the like, and use the word "pleasant" often. In the United States, we don't use "pleasant" very often, and we don't say anything is jolly," apart from Christmas and Santa Claus.
The way I interpret it, total is not even assessing how Maritsa is feeling inside, nor how she makes him feel. He seems to say she has assumed a "pleasant" smile, but not a "jolly" one, which is a way of describing the social smile versus the
Duchenne smile, as people upthread have already discussed. At the least, the words are ambiguous. Please correct me if I'm wrong, @
totalize.
