. I mean, I kinda do on the surface, but when it gets into the details it doesn't quite explain me. It's too scattered and too lacking of personal control, and waaaaaay to overtly manipulative (even though it's done covertly). With 
it's even less. I don't relate to it very much and does not explain my thought processes, information gathering, or behavior. If I were to consider 
it's absolutely zero overlap. I know I am Beta, that is 100% clear, and I am very extroverted. This leaves SLE. On the surface, it doesn't seem like me, but when I get into it the motivations and behaviors of 
really do fit me better than all the other socionicsfunctions. Is it a perfect fit? Nope. In socionics, there is no such thing as a perfect fit. Enneagram is the only thing that comes close to perfect. Then there is 
which fits me very well, but is not my first function, but as a secondary position it explains my thoughts motivations and behaviors really well. So much so I thought I was LSI a while back, but realized it wasn't correct.
