(*Sorry for starting a new thread just to say 'wow.' 'Wow' is all I really wanted to say. I don't know where this thread should go!*)

Wow! I love the socionics test! I took this one, http://www.sociotype.com/tests/, the visual one, where you pick photographs of the person you need most on the desert island with you. I picked the serious-looking faces, usually.

I got SEI-1Fe
aka ISFp, The Mediator, and Sensing Ethical Introvert

Other Possible Types
SEE (ESFp): 90% as likely as SEI
ESI (ISFj): 88% as likely as SEI
IEI (INFp): 84% as likely as SEI



I ***LOVED*** the photo-guessing test. That's the best test I ever took. I can tell right away by looking at people the type of person they are. I enjoy guessing whether I need them the most on the desert island. That was the most fun personality test I ever took. I could do that all day long. I wish THAT was the entire test. I would like to retake the test and do only that portion and not even do the part where you verbally answer questions. I want to do nothing but look at photos and decide who I need on the desert island. That was great.

I enjoyed this test very much as well. The picture thing is awesome as well, I agree!!

I know nothing of Socionics.. So I have no idea what these scores mean.. I have heard it's backwards to MBTI or that extroverted and introverted functions are reversed, or something like that.

Sociotype: LII-1Ne

Other Possible Types

ILE (ENTp): 81% as likely as LII
LIE (ENTj): 74% as likely as LII
ILI (INTp): 71% as likely as LII

Brief Description of LII

Using introverted thinking as his base function and extroverted intuition as his creative, the LII is adept at creating a concept of reality through the synthesis and application of preformulated principles and rules. When formulating new principles, the LII methodically analyzes new information, taking the salient aspects and discarding the extraneous. Staying within the boundaries of his principles, the LII is capable of generating new ideas and possibilities of how the world could work. At its best, this ability gives the LII an aura of confidence and insightfulness into areas of abstraction and possibility that many other types don't have; at its worst, this ability may lead the LII to possibilities so impractical or unreachable that he is perceived as others to be out of touch with reality. Additionally, the LIIs inclination for deep isolated thoughts often leaves him disconnected from societal interaction--as if he is constantly an observer but never a participant.

Well, it seemed like a reasonably complete test, but it didn't give me any new insight into myself. It gave me LII, the same result I always get on Socionics tests.

I think the reason this happens is because I relate to MBTI's description of the feeling function, but not to the Socionic description of Ethical types. Thus, I become an LII in Socionics. I think that this reflects my manner of processing information rather than my manner of making decisions or relating to people, though.

Thanks for the test, Retmeishka. I rushed through the photo set pretty fast.


Other Possible Types
1. EII (INFj): 95% as likely as IEI
2. EIE (ENFj): 94% as likely as IEI
3. ESI (ISFj): 67% as likely as IEI

Brief Description of IEI
Using introverted intuition as her base function and extroverted feeling as his creative, the IEI lives in a world of vivid imagery and imagination. Like the SEI, the IEI is a very creative type and is often seen channelling this creativity towards artistic pursuits such as music. However the two types' creativities diverge with the SEI's creativities channeled towards more tangible creations and the IEI's channeled towards more intangible creations--e.g., the creation of imaginary worlds or stories. The IEI is acutely attuned to the effect these creations can have on people's emotional state, and it is not uncommon for these creations to have a strong emotional impact on people. At her best, the IEI provides deep and meaningful insight into events and trends--particularly those involving human interaction. At her worst, the IEI can become lost in her imagination and lackadaisical. Overall, the IEI's depth of imagination and emotion often goes unidentified by those around her, and this is perpetuated by the IEI's disinterest in broadcasting these traits.

Thanks for this. I don't think I'd ever taken a Socionics test before. How were they judging/what were they using as a basis for choices on the picture portion/what does that even mean? Are there any explanations for that anywhere that you know of? (Sorry if this is obvious - I don't know much of anything about Socionics.)

I already typed myself a EII Ne subtype in Socionics (I apparently "VI" like one too, according to people more into that). The photo section was interesting.. I'm not sure what it was testing exactly, but I thought it could have possibly thrown everything off. But nope.. INFj.

Brief Description of IEE

Using extroverted intuition as his base function and introverted feeling as his creative, the IEE is adept at generating new possibilities, particularly those that relate to human interaction. Like the ILE, the IEE absorbs and comprehends new concepts with amazing speed. However it should be noted that the IEE relies on his personal observations as a foundation for his conceptual understanding; he bases all his theoretical frameworks on what he has observerd in the real world. If the IEE cannot relate a hypothesis to something he has personally observed, it is more difficult for him to conceptualize or believe in it. The IEE uses his creative function to understand the intricacies of relationships and human interaction. At his best, the IEE has deep and profound insight into the nature of human behavior and their relationships; at his worst, the IEE's propensity for generating possibilities can leave him adrift in an idealized world with little motivation to actually accomplish goals or complete projects. Furthermore, although the IEE understands abstract concepts quite readily, he sometimes glosses over the logical framework of a hypothesis or theory. Learn more about the IEE here!

When I read the descriptions SEI fits better.

didn't like the pictures either! some people looked like more fun to hang out with and some seemed more fun/interesting to talk too...i know for some that would be the same but...i don't think it always is...for me. :/ and it would depend on my mood or where i was maybe...anyway whatever...that part was hard.

so...is the j and p flipped in socionics or not? i've heard both...but i'm confused because the description seems to be very similar to the infj or infp in mbti...do you know?

Here you go! No, it's not simply flipped.

That's not entirely accurate. Socionic functions don't correspond exactly to MBTI functions, so there is no 1:1 type conversion, an independent test in the socionic style is necessary. What you described is a common misconception about type conversion.

Oh, and they don't officially use the same letters. They use designations like LII, EII, ILI, EIE. (Which are shorthand for things Logical-Intuitive Introtim, Ethical-Sensing Introtim, and Intuitive-Logical Extrotim.) Note that the last letter always represents the attitude of the dominant function, Introverted or Extraverted. The other two can be in any order. They correspond to these letters:

I=Intuitive
L=Logical
E=Ethical
S=Sensing

thanks...so what you're saying is that it's just a different system and not to try and translate it in mbti terms? makes the most sense to me.

It took me a few tries to figure out what to look for in the pictures. I had to remember: I am alone on a desert island with that person. Only that one person. Our lives depend on being able to do all of the things we need to be able to do together. So I want someone who is able to do all the things that I'm not able to do very well. It was kind of based on reading about what the types look for in a relationship and why. They said you feel really good when you talk to a person who 'needs' your greatest strength because it is their greatest weakness - that's making a long story short - so I looked for people with facial expressions different from my own.

I felt guilty about the 'rejected' person in the other photo and apologized for having to leave them out. Yeah, some of them looked like people who would be good friends or fun to hang out with, I had that same feeling.
