Hi, in light of MsLajlaa 's recent thread, I'd like to share a few examples that I think are non-famous TeNi...
An anonymous volunteer who was kind enough to give us permission to use her for CT's examples:
(TeNi with heavy Ni - alt: NiTe) She takes a while to get comfortable or animated with the questions and start acting more natural, but we see at segments like: 3:50-4:30 how she articulates when she has something to convey. We see that her eyes are not fully zoned-out in the Ni way, but instead display a manic expression whenever she scowls such as at 4:08-4:09. There's a "whole-face" involvement in her expressions, and also a whole body rigidity/snippiness.
And a youtube vlogger...
TeNi (pretty Te-heavy, especially visible in second video, both in gestures and how she describes herself)
***
Up to this point we've mostly come up with examples of TeNi in celeb settings, where they get really active and managerial. But I think these two serve to display what the TeNi can look like in more reclusive shades.
Mslajlaa is certainly a bit of a different shade, as we all are, but i do see several similarities. But let me know what you think!
I think they are more widespread in the mbti community than what people think.
Also, do feel free to post any that you come across here. That way we can develop a better grasp of their general expressions/psychology
I definitely see similarity to myself, and my husband also agrees! You can use me as an example, too, but if the videos I have up are not as useful (the angle is not optimal in the interview based), I can try to make new ones if needed.
It seems INTJ in MBTI is not unusual self-typing for TeNi females. I actually consistently test as ENTJ in the official MBTI despite having been typed as INFP by one MBTI-practioner and Fi-lead, usually ESI/FiSe, in Socionics (with the exception of one EIE/FeNi typing, to which I didn't quite relate).
She's not unfamous by definition, but anyway Dr. Pimple Popper/Sandra Lee is one of my favorite channels in UTube, and she seems TeNi (or at least Gamma) to me. Her mouth area does the same "square" movements as mine with tension at the cheeks, and her eyebrows/eyes create that manic, intense look.

Oh wow, MsLajlaa , my guess would have been that Dr. Sandra Lee/Pimple-Popper has a feeling function as her lead or second function??? Her energy and how she speaks (she does not sound monotonous to my ears, at least, sounds a little bit sing-songy in some places), makes me think she is some sort of Fe personality, plus I think I see hints of the Ti hands, though not a lot.
But I'm confused also because in some places they seem stiff at the wrist so may be Te-Fi? Her fingers do the claw thjng which is supposed to indicate Te???
Her facial structure also makes it hard for me to guess whether those are well-toned cheeks from using Fe a lot or just her face! Her laughs and demeanour just seem very "feely" to me. They seem like they fill her face or her eyes. I can't wait to read what Erifrail and the other readers say!!!!
EDIT: I went and looked at her other videos, found this one about acne: (My videos that I import here dont get published any more for some reason I don't understand? So youll have to go to the link to see): Towards the middle, (3.40 to about 3.55; 4.43 to about 4.55; 5.20 to about 5.35 etc etc) her hands look like they do the Ti thing when she's explaining cystic acne first and then other things. If it weren't for her unmoving pupils staring right at the camera and never moving/dancing at all which I guess would mean she can't be using Si-Ne, then I would have guessed FeSi or SiFe. This is all very confusing!!!!!!
Aqua you may be perfectly correct. I'm not good at visual reading, and in other systems I would put her as FeNi maybe. She's very good with people. She just seems to have a lot of tension around her mouth and does similar moves as I think I see in SeFi's and TeNi's. I'll take this example down, if she turns out to be other than TeNi!

And I may be very very wrong (It's very likely as I am very new and so far, each guess of mine has turned out to be very wrong, which I don't mind because I think I learn something new each time!). I just jumped in because I am excited by every opportunity to practice reading!!
Auburn, could you possibly type the lady in the above video (Dr. Pimple Popper/Sandra Lee)? You don't have to do an extensive analysis of her, but after reading this thread, I happen to be curious about if she happens to be another TeNi or if she is some other type (presumably Gamma or Beta). Thanks in advance!
mikesilb - I'm not very practiced with her ethnicity, but I think I'm seeing extroverted Gamma; TeNi-Se (or SeFi-Te) She isn't obvious but I see the asymmetrical expressions when I micro-pause the video, as well as a lot of downward pulling (taut-square effects) continually. But she's also quite poised and is a practiced articulator with some coordination. These videos are also semi-scripted, and I can't find vids of her outside of her presentation-mode.
But she reminds me a lot of of TeNi Wendy Walsh, who is also polished/poised yet still quite Te.

Thanks for your feedback Auburn ! I want to say that this lady above and Wendy Walsh both have this 'life-coach-y' pseudo-Fe style to both of them. I feel like they both have Te in their vultology; yet, they have this smooth, persuasive Fe-ish style that you somewhat see in many life coaches. It's interesting, because as an Fi-subtype, I can relate to having that pseudo-Fe style....although I wonder if mine is generally toned down (perhaps because while they have this 2-ish/7-ish feel to them, I have 2 lower down in my tritype [692]). Maybe that translates to a higher Se/Ni ratio in them than perhaps in me. No matter what, I certainly see Te as well as this polished, persuasive pseudo-Fe thing going on in them. Thanks for confirming this inner suspicion!
