Maybe this is just my experience with him, but I wouldn't have described him as locking into individuals to quite that extent. Even after he's locked in, he's still aware enough of others and their connections to the subject that he'll repeatedly bring more people into the conversation (when it's appropriate, of course). Maybe this is just my experience with sx-firsts, but I can't imagine them wanting to turn one-on-one into a party -- but that's what I see with Chanaynay, fairly often, and I see myself do that as well.I feel a lot of young, e7s do what you describe above regardless of variants. When he connects with an individual he is pretty focused, forceful and intense...and I see my younger self in that. Actually "focused" is one of the main qualities that causes me to hold off on turning over my opinion on variants. He can keenly, keenly focus on an individual...while so many so/sx e7s are...so, so breezy and disconnected and spread thin...it's as if you can hear it come through in their communication.
The two of us are clearly biased by comparing Chanaynay to ourselves. Although I do think that you are much more intense and much more one-on-one than him. I don't see you shouting to the entire audience and hoping for a group of like-minded folks to answer -- I see you waiting for the right person to intrigue you, in the audience, BEFORE you shout. But I could very easily be reading you wrong.
