Whats My Type?

@emingtonw

You can delete/edit posts, if you didn't know that.

Oh and don't listen to swivelling, he's a nonbeliever of this theory .

I can't seem to figure out how to delete from my phone though I was able to report the posts. His PM assessment was so far off the mark it was startling. I've no doubt at all that I am FeSi. Once I get back home after the holidays I'll look it over via desktop

I remember watching these videos a long time ago and liking them, does anyone have thoughts on their types ? The girl on the right seems Fe-lead and the guy on the left seems PeTi ? I'm not sure.

I thought some folks might find a recent assessment I received interesting. Katherine from enneagram.net seems to be using another quantifiable method of type determination. She bases her assessments on diction. See below email excerpts..

1. I am: Intellectual
2. I am: Independent
3. I am: Optimistic
4. I am: Romantic

10. What is your favorite color: Blue
11. What is your favorite symbol: University Of Michigan Block "M"
12. What is your favorite creature: Tiger
13. What is your favorite saying: Living The Dream

Your combination of words most closely matches the responses of the 7 and 4. In my experience, it can be the 7 with the 6 wing or both wings balanced with either the 748 or 741 Tritype. Your words choices indicate 1 in the gut center, or the social instinct dominant. Your creature of the tiger suggests the 8 as your gut type fix if not then the 8 wing. The 7 is clear In your case. My educated guess would be the 748. It is a tritype with finesse and can learn to be smooth in handling others. The 741 is very idealistic and more inclined to want more guidelines and structure than the 748. If rules are important even if you wish to break them consider 741 especially if it is a dominant feature of your defense strategy.
Your word choices suggest that the social instinct is dominant.

Intelligence: A capacity to deeply understand, relate, and apply complex concepts to achieve perfection

Independence: A private and stubborn attitude demanding exclusive self-reliance regardless of personal detriment

Optimism: A perpetually pleasant delusion denying even the possibility of unfavorable outcome

Romanticism: An idealistic love through the manifestation of vivacious creative excitement enhancing mutual pleasure and happiness

Creativity: The curious, naive, and fearless combination of unrelated ideas into more mindfully fascinating forms to ensure comprehensive analysis and optimization.

Additionally, I'd like to explain the role of "rules/law" in my life. Because my profession (engineering) has many inflexible mathematical principals you might think I too hold in high regard the human creation of law. This is not the case. Even as a Federal Employee responsible for the interpretation and communication of the Code of Federal Regulations on a daily basis, I find laws to be an inherently imperfect representation of uniquely human concepts which can never be sufficiently communicated through written word. In fact, I've discovered it is actually more effective to explain the reason a law was written than to actually provide the language of a law (if you would actually like someone to follow it). For this reason, I hold a personal resentment (I realize how awful this sounds and I am a bit ashamed to admit it) toward law, lawyers, and anyone unwilling to understand the undeniable emotional motivation of humanity.

Hi Wayne, your definitions further indicate the so/sx 741. It is the sensitive, creative, hard working 7 with a need to be of service to others.... Do you relate to this Tritype?
Take care,

Katherine

MsLajlaa here is the swaying video i was talking about.. greatly trimmed from like 20 mins to save you time.  This sort of swaying/nodding is something I do frequently when talking to people and is part of the reason I have a tough time distinguishing Je and Pe.  To me it seems like my demeanor depends on the context of the interaction (or lack thereof).  Its also possible that I just CANT see the big picture enough to gauge an entire persons demeanor... 

@morsecode I'd love to hear what you have to say about this video compared to the one above or the one I originally posted.  Also since my video has terrible lighting (and you want an actually decent one)  See the same sort of question (difficulty distinguishing Je from Pe) from mslajlaa at the link below.

Ahhahahah, that office board is great!

Seeing your videos, I'm confirmed you're alpha, but as said, I have trouble differentiating with Je- and Pe-leads. You show lots of Ne signs, but I don't know if it is just typical for Je-leads to use their other extroverted function in tandem with their Je while communicating. TheLogicFan, you mention previously in this thread that "strong signals (Je)". Do you mean that it's common for Je-leads to show all their signs strongly? I definitely show lots of Se signs, too, especially while I'm actively speaking. I remember Erifrail said after my very first video that sometimes SeFi's can look like Te-leads, so there was a chance I'm SeFi, but my later videos confirmed TeNi.

Swaying and general fast expression is something I'm quite confused about at the moment. Though at least some FeSi's seem to sway a lot (check Shemar Moore's interview here cognitivetype.boards.net/thread/89/fesi-clear-videos?page=1). For me my movements are "periodical" in that I sway and move a lot while speaking and can be very static while contemplating or listening to someone.

A side note: After watching some of your Se/Ne video, I tried to consciously move my eyes in their sockets like Ne, instead of moving my whole head (Se), which is what I do all the time. (List of signs: cognitivetype.boards.net/thread/35/). It's very hard to fake function signals that are not one's natural. It hurts my eyes to try that!
