I see Fi/Te as judgement functions, not sure on perception functions.

You look like a Pi-lead to me. (Ni/Si)

Hi Chris. Welcome to the forum.

I think you have the functions Si/Ne and Te/Fi. My estimation of your type is SiTe.

Some signals:

Si/Ne:
- Eyes resting casually in your sockets (Ne)
- Eyes toggling at a fast rate (Ne)
- Si scowls
- Viscious swaying (Pi)

Te/Fi:
- Personal smiles (Fi)
- Hand gestures/eyebrow raises (Te)

To get a better insight of how things work (and in case you doubt being Si dominant, if that's what you are) I really recommend you to read this.

Thanks for the replys so far. I have to admit that originally with socionics i thought i was absolutely the LII (TiNe) but with cognative types i see this is not at all likely.

I am almost certain that i use Fi Te especially when alone on youtube or something a very fi smile will creep upon my lips. And as far as Te dismisiveness i find it to be an annoying expression i use anytime i'm trying to block off my emotions and i was actually trying to stop doing it just before i started really paying attention to CT. also i think i should explain the dickishness i mentioned in the first video as in my case i think it comes from these two functions. recently for example an acquaintance from college was texting me trying to catch up, the first time i was way too busy with tests and so i told him that. the next time i was frustrated and very directly told him about the anxieties towards text and phone communication in a very blunt and honest expression of my feelings which i can only guess was pretty horrible to read. although it was true in itself i'm sure the other concern that is that i didn't really want to catch up with him would have been in the subtext. to be fair i had dealt with this from him before and the only thing worse that 2 hours of small talk with an acquaintance is 2 hours of small talk over text in a medium that causes anxiety.

by this point i probably sound like a total douchebag but please realise that i can only say these things because i am very critical about my own actions and thoughts and i tend to generate many different posibilities as to why i might have said or done something and than choose the most likely explanation of my actions without trying to spare my own feelings. so i may not actually be any worse of a person than average, just more aware of my bad sides and uncompromising in these judgements of myself. and i'm sure i'm downright wrong about my intentions on some occasions.

as for perceptions it's way harder to notice your own mannerisms as such with perception but i agree with Ne Si based on my own psyche. Other than the occasional obvious movie plot point i don't tend to have a good understanding of the causality of things. In fact even going back to the paragraph above half the time i don't even know my own motives looking backwards. Although i always know my motives in the moment why i did or said things in the past is something that i can list many different possible explanations leaving all of them plausable, but none certain which i find that i then have to judge based on what i understand of human behavior. Which is admittedly lacking so your guess is as good as mine with some of the things i've done.

and then as far as general behaviour is concerned my personality shifts a lot for example during my first semester of college i was friendly interested and helpful to all even going so far as to earn a peer award for it. but in this semester i have more friends and yet i oddly feel more inhibited like i'm not allowing myself to just be natural like i was earlier, i was more happy back then though and so i intend to try to get back in touch with that. also my concept of my own personality becomes more and more difficult to ascertain when away from the outside world for too long even just over the weekend i can start to feel out of sync and unsure of how i normally act. thats actually probably the main reason why i have trouble with phones but more particularly texting. for the life of me i cant act natural when i'm not talking face to face. These videos especially cause me difficulty because of that.

I am most comfortable on the move while i think, i tend to pace around the house or at least around my room if people are home and it helps me greatly to do so, in fact i was thinking about doing the second video while doing just that. But i decided better of it because the lighting would constantly be shifting.

anyway all of this summing up has made me think NeFi more than anything else what are your thoughts on that, or some other type. Are there any strong behavioural cues that might otherwise indicate Si lead, because i do feel pretty specifically Ne lead.

thanks again.
sincerely; Chris

Yeah that video definitely reminds me of how i would act under normal circumstances, and even his mentioning about what would make him uncomfortable i can relate to. and being hyper critical of himself. in fact that is very reminiscent of my general behavior during first semester which was before i discovered mbti or socionics. I think i had myself brainwashed by some of the less correct aspects of socionics. It doesn't help that i thought i was a type different from what i actually am to begin with either.

This whole thinking about Ne-lead reminded me of my ADHD assessment done by a pediatrician when i was younger. I don't have the paper with me at the moment so i cant be perfectly accurate but something in the report has stuck with me. My memory was average or perhaps a little below but he explicitly noted that during the exercise i refused to look at the pattern or number or whatever for more than a brief second before looking elsewhere. I'll have to find that assessment to ensure of the accuracy of this but i thought i would note it as it also seems indicative of a Ne-lead.

thanks again for taking a look at this, i'm finding cognative types to be really intriguing. I believe this is likely due to a general feeling that cognitive type seems more freeing and less limiting if that makes sense. mbti and socionics both made me feel like i am supposed to act in a certain way based on type but cognitive type feels more like i should act in the way that is natural to me. I look forward to learning visual reading.

have a good night

Sincerely; Chris
