My video can be found here.

Have at it. :)

Thankyou [MENTION=4945]EJCC[/MENTION]

Your method of delivery is focused and to the point. The speech is informative but hard, indicating a Firm communicator (4D Te). At the same time you are confidently looking at the camera, there is no sign of physical awkwardness but a strong, resolute posture with an impatient energy, indicative of Tough movement (4D Se).

You regularly mention your tendency to be blunt and direct, preferring environments where this ability is encouraged and often feeling that you lack in interpersonal sensitivity. This is expected in a logical type that is weak in Ethics.

You enjoy being busy, having done a double major in your degree and continuing in being a professional working woman. You are also seen as a bit meddlesome and perhaps pushy, trying to affect the working of people around you. This would be indicative of the Linear-Assertive EJ temperament. Combined with being Logical we know that you must be a Te-lead. Indeed you talk about providing 'common sense' to others, seeing the problem and identifying the practical steps by which that problem can be fixed and tending to see people as 'Irrational and Stupid' who don't meet your Te expectations. Your work also involves the use of data and statistics, being a good outlet for your natural strengths.

Despite this business, you mention how you like your job as it allows you some relaxation. You say that you feel that you have earned the right to rest which is shows a valued Si beneath a busy EJ exterior. Unlike LIE types who see relaxation as a wasteful triviality, the Sensory equivalent likes to earn rest through hard work seeing it as both necessary and enjoyable once productive needs have been met. Furthermore, you give that appearance to others of perfection, seemingly having all your stuff together, indicating good management of the Si day to day needs.

Finally, your ideal environment is one that wants to get away from the hustle and bustle, drama and displays of power/wealth seen in a rather Beta environment (You don't value Se aggression or Fe emotionality). Instead, you want to move to the mountains, indicating the Delta desire to get away from group status quo for a more relaxed individualism.

Overall, I am very confident in saying you are an LSE-ESTj in Socionics.

Uhm, doesn't the IEE ever feel they still want to go on if there's such obstacles?
If it's very important to an IEE they might try, but the IEE's willpower can only hold out so long as the IEE is interested in the task at hand. Being faced with Ti rules and administration can quickly diminish that interest. IEEs are probably the most fickle of the types.


Why mixed? SxE's never procrastinate on tasks that they don't care about?

Procrastination just wouldn't make sense to an Se-lead. To them, the life that is important is that which is lived and experienced now. Why would anything they want to do be delayed until tomorrow?

I'm very competitive. I enjoy going straight for "thing of desire". I get really pissed off after a while if I can't get it - I'm impatient - and usually I'll just try more to get it. I can't say though that this impatience always helps me.
That sounds Se.

As for the second option, I don't understand this thing here, about IxE's (IEE above either), what does it depend on how long their interest will last? Until the first obstacle? Or until they get bored? If they get bored why/how do they get bored? Surely it does not just happen randomly?
Until a less boring alternative pops up, which the IxE will immediately start to consider rather than the obstacle-ridden task at hand. The grass is always greener on the other side. The IxE gets bored when the task at hand starts to seem repetitive or limited. An IEE faced with Ti will quickly see the venture as one that might have appeared interesting but was riddled with unenjoyable tasks and it's all too easy for them to jump to something else.

I am not talking about pain. I am talking about motivation to even start doing the goddamn thing.
Well if the thing is a chore or something the Se-lead doesn't desire. They certainly won't be told to do it. As an EP type, they pursue what they desire. The difference with an Se-lead is that once something is desired, they will plough through obstacles with force of will to get at the desired thing while the Ne-lead has a multitude of desired things and will flit from one to the next.

If I started on something I will not stop until done. I enjoy that btw. Pain not an issue :) I enjoy the feeling of motivation as well. It usually feels like an intrinsic motivation so it's all good :).

Starting, however depends on awakening that motivation; this can be brought on by several things. Two main categories: Challenges (physical or intellectual alike) & opportunities. 2) External deadline or other external circumstance that makes it necessary.

The first category, that's got several versions, can be competitiveness against others or challenges not involving other people. Or interaction with people that somehow brings up something, e.g. some opportunity and then I get set on it

Oh and in the cases when I'm just forced to do it (deadline for example), I can still enjoy the feeling of having the motivation that got me kicked into gear. I can also enjoy the intensity of trying to get it sorted asap. Even if the task is not something I would do on my own otherwise (not without procrastinating anyway). Does that make sense? It's hard to explain this well

So anyway when you said SxE's can force themselves with tasks they would otherwise not do, can they start such tasks without e.g. deadlines? That sounds like the ultimate self-discipline to me.

I'd say this all Se, the way you like to have your engines revved by challenges and then being able to own it. You're an SLE.

Here are some profiles:

OK, but do you not see it as different levels of force? I wouldn't call each and every example of that as truly "forceful". Some of them, sure :p

Different levels? I'm afraid my Se isn't strong enough to perceive different levels of force effectively :p

Offensive approach to what? Getting your own way? I can only comment the same as above about meaning of "forceful".

Offensive as in, taking the offensive. Going in on the offence.

Anyway, ok, so there is no such thing as attempting to use Ne role for its own sake, because it's valued by society or something?

The Se-lead will realise when the situation requires some Ne, so they will sit down and use it.

But he said he often likes it for its own sake. Will the Id functions be used for their own sake at times?

He likes to create a synthesised whole for understanding. He doesn't like to adhere to a particular system. This is what I mean by Ti-Id.

It could even be that the particular systems being synthesised might contradict but as long as there is a working whole, this doesn't matter to someone with Te in the Ego.

Lol that's funny about LIE. I might not go for the cheapest coffee if I feel like having a specific kind of coffee but the cheapest one works too. Though, staying with the coffee example, I don't actually need to use coffee to keep going if I want to keep going. I'm proud of my ability to not need anything to go on.

So I'm kind of like, I can like Si and then I just don't care about it. I prefer not to care about it a lot of the time because it'd just get in the way. Sometimes I take care of certain basic negative aspects (need food, need sleep, need more comfortable position, need to dress up because it's cold) but not much more than that. Well and I like aesthetics, I'm good with it

That would be Ignoring-Si. You have enough ability in Si to utilise it when necessary but you don't see importance to it. An Si lead might not even want coffee to get energy. They would probably just have cultivated a taste for those of good quality.

Interesting what you say about Fe. I knew I was a feeler and definitely related more to the Fi description for MBTI but always thought Fe made sense slightly as well. I like that about Socionics, each function has a role.

Glad to hear I appear to use Ne. I love the idea of leading with Ne but it can be difficult to spot in yourself so it's good that you seem confident I lead with it.

In general would you say my language is more abstract or concrete?

Abstract or concrete, what do you mean? If anything you used more concrete language because you were answering questions that called for a concrete answer.

Yeah I was thinking to myself reading it that it was too stereotypical LII :p But if you're really like that and especially if you like being yourself, cool then :)

I wouldn't lie, that's the way I am. Yay for stereotypes!

I relate to all of this too and as an LII supposedly I'm Si valuing yet I ignore it much of the time. I tend to push myself body-wise. Stay awake until I'm literally ready to fall over, put off eating until I have gnawing hunger pangs. Things like that. Yet I appreciate good food and comfy things. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to cook something nice, and just eat whatever is easy to get on hand.

In your case, it looks as if you don't pay enough attention to your body... forgetting your physical needs until they're painful etc. this is weak Si.

For Si-Ignoring, they are able to pay attention to their bodies and do, hence why they're good at honing their bodies into physical effectiveness. However, they keep things Spartan because luxury isn't really valued. They won't be neglecting sleep or food though.

Want to talk about the guesses? :p
My guess is that [MENTION=5759]edchidna1000[/MENTION] has sold me a type. Congratulations to him! :)
For IEEs, Si is highly valued. They are the sort of people who may forget to take care of themselves but are greatly appreciative of positive physical sensations. These are the people who always ask for a particular cappuccino at their favourite coffee shop, who enjoy sleeping in from time to time and having someone make them breakfast in bed.

For an LIE it's more... "Oh, I've been working all night, I'm falling asleep. I need caffeine." "What coffee would you like?" "The cheapest one that does the job."
[...]
That is very Te>Si... The LIE sees relaxation as a waste of time.
Guilty. Guilty, guilty.
Would you say this is as strong as your ability to strategise and do things productively?
In my earlier years, gauging subjective distance definitely wasn't as strong as my ability to produce (or to think about how best to produce). I've put a lot into practice in social psychology. "Having a love/hate relationship with" can turn to "assessing properly, for good and for bad" when one gains a greater understanding.

From some perspective, one could say that being able to pick up on that psychological distance was a goal of mine and that I learned about typology &c. to reach that goal. The way that particular thread was weaved would point squarely to.. .. black-square dominance.
Does it have to do with reciprocation? "Understanding" as a sign that they put in the effort to listen to you perspectives and absorb them in the same way that you do with theirs?
Yes. Definitely this.
Crikey, that's a terrible resource! Since when are ILIs charming and able to make any topic interesting? The ability to make themselves appeal to others is exactly what ILI lacks.
[...]
ILI is possible, but the way you talk about leadership suggests someone who is a lot more proactive and out there than an ILI.

The difference is temperament. An Linear-Assertive type like LIE strives to do everything productively. They might work themselves into an ill state of health because relaxation and enjoying the little things isn't useful. They tend to do as much of use as they can. They will also try to lead others and push them to do things better.

A Receptive-Adaptive type like ILI just prefers to sit and think about what might happen later. Actually going out and doing something is not the priority and often they need a bit of a push. They're the sort to think up a winning strategy in their head without actually summoning the gusto to do anything with it. They usually can't give a damn about how other people feel towards them.
In your ILI/LIE contrast here, the ILI side does not describe me. At all.

Thanks for the info :hifive:
As for IEE, they're more the sort to do things just because they feel like doing them. They might want to set up a consultancy and get all involved in the beginning stages before getting bored with the legal paperwork and backing out. Usually they will aspire towards being productive but fail because they cannot be sufficiently productive without adhering to systems and restrictions when necessary.
This one actually resonates with me, but with a slant to it. I tend to take on many 'projects' at once, because one or a few might win out, or many may seem interesting; but I shift priorities around and back out of some of those obligations when the prospect for potential disappears. I'm also not a fan of restrictions and details--the former suffocates me and the latter bores me to tears--but my way of handling them is to try to rise to (or otherwise shift to) positions that don't require them; which, in turn, often requires accepting some in the short term.

When you talk about IxE "being interested", I suspect that's a much too generic word to use. Maybe it sounds strange if I ask you to define what "being interested" means to you as Ne-leading but can you please attempt elaborating on this? Including what having an interest depends on. Potential of some sort? What kind of potential? Etc...

As a contrast, I'll say, for me being interested usually involves a challenge, making the thing interesting.

And yeah, I'm nowhere near as fickle, as IEE seems to be.


Procrastination just wouldn't make sense to an Se-lead. To them, the life that is important is that which is lived and experienced now. Why would anything they want to do be delayed until tomorrow?

But I procrastinate on things I don't really want to do lol

I do other shit instead :p

What does Ne-lead do when procrastinating? Are they not living a life "now"? Too busy with ideas in their heads you mean?


On another note; To refine the picture with procrastination for me, there's also some things that I do want to do but they are pretty enormous tasks needing to be broken down into steps. So I need to do that first. Though sometimes I don't bother and just start anyhow right away. That make sense to you in terms of my type?


That sounds Se.

Yeah ... you as IxE, do you not ever enjoy much going for things like that? Do you feel "locked in" mentally or something if you were to act with a one-track mind's focus? I'm just trying to understand the Ne mindset :)


Until a less boring alternative pops up, which the IxE will immediately start to consider rather than the obstacle-ridden task at hand. The grass is always greener on the other side. The IxE gets bored when the task at hand starts to seem repetitive or limited. An IEE faced with Ti will quickly see the venture as one that might have appeared interesting but was riddled with unenjoyable tasks and it's all too easy for them to jump to something else.

So for IxE getting through obstacles is a boring thing? ?

Oh well it's got to do something with Si valuing as well yes?


Well if the thing is a chore or something the Se-lead doesn't desire. They certainly won't be told to do it. As an EP type, they pursue what they desire. The difference with an Se-lead is that once something is desired, they will plough through obstacles with force of will to get at the desired thing while the Ne-lead has a multitude of desired things and will flit from one to the next.

I don't enjoy flitting around between several things/goals at once. I can't explain why not, it just isn't pleasant to my mind. Staying on track for one thing is mentally very pleasant though, more than just pleasant really. Make sense? :)


I'd say this all Se, the way you like to have your engines revved by challenges and then being able to own it. You're an SLE.

Ooh well it wasn't that hard to type me after all? :( :p

Btw were you hesitating originally between Ne/Se for me just because of the intellectuality buzz word? Can't intellect come from logic? I told you that I pretty much do it from logic, not creativity...

Or did you see anything else that seemed N to you?



Well thank you for that, note when read a female portrait that made just that much more sense. (I'm female)


Different levels? I'm afraid my Se isn't strong enough to perceive different levels of force effectively :p

Ahmm okay... would you say you are a bit overly sensitive in general to whatever you feel is "forceful"?


Offensive as in, taking the offensive. Going in on the offence.

OK. Yes I relate to that then


The Se-lead will realise when the situation requires some Ne, so they will sit down and use it.

Well I sometimes make really silly errors in this area. At least I attribute it to crappy Ne, those cases when I don't think of some options that would've helped me get where I want. I still sort stuff though, sure. It's just annoying when I realise I could've thought of whatever option to use. That sounds like superego Ne then?


He likes to create a synthesised whole for understanding. He doesn't like to adhere to a particular system. This is what I mean by Ti-Id.

It could even be that the particular systems being synthesised might contradict but as long as there is a working whole, this doesn't matter to someone with Te in the Ego.

OK, I see. This synthesis, does it need Ni and/or Ne as well?

OK well enough questions for now heh


That would be Ignoring-Si. You have enough ability in Si to utilise it when necessary but you don't see importance to it. An Si lead might not even want coffee to get energy. They would probably just have cultivated a taste for those of good quality.

Oh I sometimes do like some Si stuff just don't focus on it for long. But yeah otherwise I agree with what you say here


I relate to all of this too and as an LII supposedly I'm Si valuing yet I ignore it much of the time. I tend to push myself body-wise. Stay awake until I'm literally ready to fall over, put off eating until I have gnawing hunger pangs. Things like that. Yet I appreciate good food and comfy things. Sometimes I'm just too lazy to cook something nice, and just eat whatever is easy to get on hand.

I guess I didn't make myself too clear about what I meant exactly :)

I'm a bit more conscious of Si than that, I prefer to go to bed when I'm tired, of course if there is something I'm working on or whatever, I will be able to stay up longer. I don't have a very well scheduled life but in terms of sleep I do try to keep it regular. Not always easy when you don't have external circumstances forcing you to stay on schedule because then you have to force yourself instead.

Lol at "gnawing hunger pangs", what I do instead is, I have lots of energy to keep going without feeling hungry, and without actually being hungry really, I guess my body is efficient or something, but if I start feeling hunger at a point I usually will take care of it sooner than that. It's not nice being too hungry, it makes me irritable in a way I feel I have no control over. I can otherwise ignore that too if needed. But I don't really want to ignore hunger for long also because I do sports regularly and I don't want that to get in the way. I actually need to schedule my eating to a degree because of the sports stuff. I can exercise for pretty long even when hungry but it's just not conducive to the goal of getting fitter, better have an effective schedule for that.

So that's what I meant by "Sometimes I take care of certain basic negative aspects".

Hmm the other aspect, I do appreciate refined stuff, good food in a good restaurant but I'm just as happy eating something simple that I don't hate eating. I don't need much comfort in terms of that. That's lucky for sure as I hate having to spend much time on these needs, I see it as a waste of time to spend too much with it, I only cook simple quick food for example. Um, I don't like to spend too much money on food either, that's a waste of money again :) though I sometimes do spend money when I feel like it.

Otoh, I don't know where that fits in socionics but I'm picky with some foods, I don't eat certain meat for example. I never tried to force myself to like it and I don't feel the need to.

Btw I recall mobilizing function is the function that you do value but you can easily ignore as well and then at other times indulge in it a lot, mobilizing function is a really unbalanced function for whatever reason. LII has Si as mobilizing function, do you relate to ever indulging in Si?

Another thing. When I said Si gets in the way, I meant if I was caring too much about comfort I would not be able to do some things so easily. It would mentally and maybe even physically get in the way or something. Not a nice thought at all. For you, does Si get in the way too, I suppose for you it's mostly with intellectual activities where you don't want to take the time to attend to your body?

Also... Do you relate to being good at aesthetics? Because I talked about that too.



In your case, it looks as if you don't pay enough attention to your body... forgetting your physical needs until they're painful etc. this is weak Si.

For Si-Ignoring, they are able to pay attention to their bodies and do, hence why they're good at honing their bodies into physical effectiveness. However, they keep things Spartan because luxury isn't really valued. They won't be neglecting sleep or food though.

Yeah you summed this up very well. I would add though - as above - that I do like luxury at times, if someone takes me to an expensive restaurant, I'm not going to say no to it :D (I don't like to spend that much on food otherwise... it's just food, it will be gone in a few minutes. Who cares)


My guess is that [MENTION=5759]edchidna1000[/MENTION] has sold me a type. Congratulations to him! :)

Well awesome then :p

Such an interesting approach. You're so different from me. This psychological distance thing, why were you so interested in developing that? I mean I don't care to hear the socionics explanation of Te-lead Fi-DS, I would like to hear your own perspective on this in normal everyday words without "socionifying" it. :)

Btw what I bolded, I think that is very very Te. I supposedly have good Te too but I don't actually stop to think about these things as much. I guess if I was Te-lead I would do just that. I'm sorry I doubted your Te-ness ;p Maybe the facts remembering thing is Te with an S thing, LSE more than LIE? LIE would instead do this synthesis thing?


This one actually resonates with me, but with a slant to it. I tend to take on many 'projects' at once, because one or a few might win out, or many may seem interesting; but I shift priorities around and back out of some of those obligations when the prospect for potential disappears.

What kind of potential are you talking about?

Details... you're such a typical N in MBTI too, I bet. I'm not a fan of details only if I can do a shortcut around them ;) to get to goal quicker.

I can exercise for pretty long even when hungry but it's just not conducive to the goal of getting fitter, better have an effective schedule for that.

I have trouble sticking to a schedule for things like eating and sleeping and not much interested in sticking to one.

Hmm the other aspect, I do appreciate refined stuff, good food in a good restaurant but I'm just as happy eating something simple that I don't hate eating. I don't need much comfort in terms of that.

Um, I don't like to spend too much money on food either, that's a waste of money again :) though I sometimes do spend money when I feel like it.

I'm much the same way.

Btw I recall mobilizing function is the function that you do value but you can easily ignore as well and then at other times indulge in it a lot, mobilizing function is a really unbalanced function for whatever reason. LII has Si as mobilizing function, do you relate to ever indulging in Si?

There are times where I'll drive out of my way to literally take the scenic route or spend a little extra to try that new restaurant or dish. With sleep I'm like this, one night I deprive myself and think it's a waste of time and another night I enjoy snuggling under the covers. So I guess Si as mobilizing fits.

For you, does Si get in the way too, I suppose for you it's mostly with intellectual activities where you don't want to take the time to attend to your body?

Yes

Also... Do you relate to being good at aesthetics? Because I talked about that too.

I think I can be quite good at aesthetics when I put the time and effort into it. I can't draw to save my life but I have a good sense of artistic composition- what looks good together.

I would add though - as above - that I do like luxury at times, if someone takes me to an expensive restaurant, I'm not going to say no to it :D (I don't like to spend that much on food otherwise... it's just food, it will be gone in a few minutes. Who cares)

Same here.

I think I saw my love/hate relationship with people in my childhood and teens as a problem to be fixed.
I'm sorry I doubted your Te-ness ;p Maybe the facts remembering thing is Te with an S thing, LSE more than LIE? LIE would instead do this synthesis thing?
That bolded stuffs is quite possible. I'd love others' input on that one though, because I dunno.
What kind of potential are you talking about?
Personal growth and satisfaction, mostly. For one, I like getting lil' things I can check off on the CV/resume.
Details... you're such a typical N in MBTI too, I bet.
Yup! In terms of the four MBTI dichotomies (E/I, N/S, T/F, P/J), N is the clearest preference by far, both by self-report and what others have told me.
I have trouble sticking to a schedule for things like eating and sleeping and not much interested in sticking to one.
Based on your posts here, and especially lines like this one, I could see you as my 'mirror type' (where Leading and Creative functions are swapped).
You mean ENTJ? I believe that was your first top score on my test.
Yeah, it was, with ENTP in close second. As I said too--looking at types independently from the murky MBTI/JCF, the perspective that most people take on to define types, it's definitely not out of the realm of possibility.

Then Intuition is a well-defined trait, with other traits being less well-defined.

Silly question probably, but can you be legitimately say an INFJ in MBTI and an Fi dom in Socionics?

It's definitely hard to stick to one if there is no external circumstance requiring it.


There are times where I'll drive out of my way to literally take the scenic route or spend a little extra to try that new restaurant or dish. With sleep I'm like this, one night I deprive myself and think it's a waste of time and another night I enjoy snuggling under the covers. So I guess Si as mobilizing fits.

Hmm is looking at a scenic route Si? :eek: Maybe it depends on how you do it?

I always enjoy snuggling under the covers :D For like a few seconds with an empty mind. Then I fall asleep quickly.


I think I can be quite good at aesthetics when I put the time and effort into it. I can't draw to save my life but I have a good sense of artistic composition- what looks good together.

Ah, cool.

As for drawing, I heard it can be learned if you learn to activate your right brain for it. I don't know how sensible that reasoning is (maybe it is, maybe not) but apparently it works for people. I was always very good at drawing and maybe it does have something to do with me being in a "right brained mode" then (I'm definitely non-verbal then... and most of the time anyway).


Same here.

Do you value other material things more, stuff that doesn't just last a few minutes? (I know stereotypically LII doesn't care but I'm curious)


I think I saw my love/hate relationship with people in my childhood and teens as a problem to be fixed.

And did it get fixed using this approach? What do you mean by love/hate relationship, did you not like people or did they not like you?


That bolded stuffs is quite possible. I'd love others' input on that one though, because I dunno.

Yeah I hope [MENTION=5759]edchidna1000[/MENTION] will chime in :p

I see... the second sentence is so E3-ish :D

Depends who you ask :p

When you talk about IxE "being interested", I suspect that's a much too generic word to use. Maybe it sounds strange if I ask you to define what "being interested" means to you as Ne-leading but can you please attempt elaborating on this? Including what having an interest depends on. Potential of some sort? What kind of potential? Etc...

Here's a personal example. I often go online to do something of import like school work and suddenly a link catches my eye. An uncontrollable fascination takes hold of me and I just have to find out what the page the link would take me to says. As a result, I click the link, abandoning my work and might click through a series of other links, each one commanding this similar, uncontrollable fascination. In each case, I see a promise in the link, a promise of shiny, new information to entertain in my head with an assortment of other things. For such promises I carry a voracious appetite that isn't satiated until the need to do work becomes urgent.

On another note; To refine the picture with procrastination for me, there's also some things that I do want to do but they are pretty enormous tasks needing to be broken down into steps. So I need to do that first. Though sometimes I don't bother and just start anyhow right away. That make sense to you in terms of my type?

It would be unnatural for you to carefully and patiently plan something out, this is Ni Te territory. Instead it would be natural for you to get a basic structure and jump in head first.

Yeah ... you as IxE, do you not ever enjoy much going for things like that? Do you feel "locked in" mentally or something if you were to act with a one-track mind's focus? I'm just trying to understand the Ne mindset :)

I can be competitive for limited durations.

So for IxE getting through obstacles is a boring thing? ?

Oh well it's got to do something with Si valuing as well yes?

Kinda, fighting too much is too draining, we'd rather rest if it gets too tough or find something more appealing. The point is, there's always something better to do than what we're doing.

Btw were you hesitating originally between Ne/Se for me just because of the intellectuality buzz word? Can't intellect come from logic? I told you that I pretty much do it from logic, not creativity...
Or did you see anything else that seemed N to you?

You just seemed rather playful and not so overtly masculine. There was a lightness that I don't see too often in SLEs but have seen in ILEs.

Well thank you for that, note when read a female portrait that made just that much more sense. (I'm female)

Ah, this possibly explains a lot.

Ahmm okay... would you say you are a bit overly sensitive in general to whatever you feel is "forceful"?

No, an LII would be though. If someone is being rough it takes a while for me to notice.

Well I sometimes make really silly errors in this area. At least I attribute it to crappy Ne, those cases when I don't think of some options that would've helped me get where I want. I still sort stuff though, sure. It's just annoying when I realise I could've thought of whatever option to use. That sounds like superego Ne then?

Oh yes, it takes effort for 2D Ne to become adequate and even then you might slip up. It's just not so useless as 1D Fi.

OK, I see. This synthesis, does it need Ni and/or Ne as well?

I am of the opinion that any strong working of an IM element requires its inversion working the background... good Ni has Ne working for it.

Well, I would do it. When I get around to it. I keep thinking i'm going to do a video for typing purposes (mostly Enneagram and instinctual variants), but it could be used for this too- but I'm scared, and I feel like it has to be perfect. Which is silly. That probably says something about me. Everything has to be perfect. I want to talk about the right things and answer the questions with the right information and have answers ready so I don't waste people's time.

There are multiple ways you can look at this:

  1. By the standards of Socionics, the 8 Introverted types in MBTI are incoherent, so no one can really have INFJ as a type.
  2. Learning your Socionics type updates your understanding of Jungian typology so as you shift from an inferior build to the updated system, your type updates from INFJ to whatever your Socionics type is.
  3. You could hold that due to the slightly different definitions of the dichotomies and functions in MBTI and Socionics, you could feasibly be two different types in the two systems without contradiction.
