Type me :)

hi simonemusic (Joseph) !

Our vultology team has taken a look at your video, and we have a strong consensus for your type. Hoping to have the analysis written up by today.

And welcome to the forum!

Using the first minute of your video as a starting point:

0:07 - Pe Toggle (up-left)
0:07 - Se Eyes-Head Parallel Movement?
0:08 - Je Head Nod
0:09 - Pe Toggling (up)
0:10 - Je Gesticulation (subordinate?)
0:11 - Je Browraise (Te?)
0:11 - Te Dismissive Head Tilt + Fi Sassiness?
0:11 - Se Taut Eye Area
0:14 - Te Dismissive Browraise
0:14 - Te Monotone Voice
0:14 - Te Nasal Voice
0:15 - Pe Eye Toggling
0:15 - P Fluid Body + Subtle Swaying
0:18 - P Fluid Body Swaying + Te/Fi Dismissiveness & Sassiness
0:19 - Te Shoulder Shrug
0:19 - Ni Lowered Eyelids
0:20 - Pe Eye Toggling (up right)
0:22 - Je Gesticulation + Subordinate Judgment
0:23 - Ji Eyes Disengaging Down
0:25 - Je Gesticulation
0:27 - Pe Body Swaying? (could be just looking at screen + adjusting position)
0:30 - Te Nasal Voice
0:32 - Pe Body Swaying? (could be just looking at screen + adjusting position)
0:35 - Te Dismissiveness + Shoulder Shrug
0:35 - Pe Eye-Toggling (up right)
0:37 - Je Gesticulation + Subordinate Judgment
0:38 - Pe Eye-Toggling (left)
0:39 - Te Shoulder Shrug
0:41 - Te Browraise + Matter of fact ("already..the best")
0:43 - Ji Eyes Disengage Down
0:45 - Se Eye Toggling (sharp focus)
0:48 - Te Dismissiveness
0:50 - Pe Eye Toggling (up)
0:52 - Se Eyes-Head Parallel Movement
0:54 - Je Gesticulation + Subordinate Judgment
0:55 - Je Gesticulation (Te plateau pattern, no swelling effect)
0:58 - Je Gesticulation (Te plateau pattern, no swelling effect)

Prominent Pattern:

- Pe Eye Toggling
- P Fluid Body
- Te Dismissiveness + Shoulder Shrugs
- Te Nasal Voice + Monotone Speech

Analysis:

Overall, the strongest element of your vultology is a momentum and energy that manifests in continual eye-toggling, topic hopping, and general restlessness caused by a primary Pe process. Added to that is a very dismissive (matter-of-fact) articulation style (Te) which is also expressed through snippy shoulder shrugs, snippy browraises, etc. There's also a sassy and effeminate quality to your delivery combined with elements of disgust (further along the video especially) which is a characteristic of Fi.

Your eyes have the quality of Se/Ni. Your divergence of attention is quite strong, which might suggest Ne on its own, but every topic you diverge into is one of very concrete and visceral concerns. This means you are generally quite "amped" in your Se, causing it to flow rapidly across a variety of observations. Your strong use of Te also adds to this double dose of proactivity. All this suggests you are an SeFi, and likely SeFi-Te subtype.

Here are a few GIFs of your functions at work:

3:22


^ This GIF begins with your eyes closed in a Ji disengagement (pinging your Fi)
Then it transitions into an Fi signal of disgust (vertical tension up towards the nose)
And then into a Pe Body Sway + Te Dismissiveness (head shake) + subordinate Je Gesticulation

This entire signal combination as a whole only appears in PeFi types, and SeFi's in particular.

0:15


^ This GIF begins with a very fluid body posture and a Pe toggle to the left
It then moves forward into a dismissive Te head jut, followed by an Fi snarl + Te Browraise + Te Head Shake
All the while, happening beneath a Pe fluid body that sways subtly across every movement

I hope this analysis is helpful!

P.S. What do you consider your type to be, from other models? I'm always curious to see how people's self-assessments match up.

I see the signals now that I'm watching them....but it's just so strange to imagine being Se-dom...I have such little body awareness, terrible visual memory/awareness...I'm heavily interested in everything abstract like literature, philosophy....I hate doing anything physical like exercise, clubbing, etc. I feel like I just live in a fantasy-world of possibilities...my whole life consists of just dabbling in subjects, reading, etc. I also can't feel any semblance of Ni anywhere... Not to mention that everyone I've ever felt a really close connection with has been NiFe or NeFi. I'm kind of stunned here lol

Yea, I don't think you're wrong about yourself on that. You do show a lot of momentum and a transition in thought, which was where this part comes from:


I think the differentiation here lies in the qualities of cognitive focus. It's far less about actually touching objects in the world. Although the tactile element often comes as a consequence of having Se, Se itself is an information metabolism process. It's also not the case that 'abstraction' is the single defining characteristic between Ne and Se. At least in CT theory, Ne is an entire phenomenon with a set of other qualities it produces such as:

- Buoyancy
- Levity
- Caricatures
- Parodies
- Naivete ("Puer Aeternus" tendencies of childlike wonderment)
- etc

Buoyancy and levity create a kind of 'floaty' demeanor that is spritely and softly fleeting. One way to conceptualize it is as Mozart's Turkish March:


(this is of course, just a qualitative correlation to help explain, and not at all related to music taste)

You appear to lack the above stated cognitive qualities in this video, although you do have a version of:

- Diverging Attention
- Topic Hopping

Which are Pe qualities that typically fit more with Ne. But in the context of an amplified Se (Exploration), this would still apply as expected. We can examine your transcript for further insights as well. Although nothing said verbally is a *definitive* indicator of function use, we can often reliably see the imprint of the functions in what people say. Starting with the first question, with my additions in blue:


0:31 - "Think up a new type of animal. Ok, to me cats are just like perfect {focus goes to an existing sensory object}, I don't want to think up a new type of animal because cats are already the best {forgoing a chance for Ne possibilities/'indiscriminate correlating' for a more immediate and concrete answer}. Cause they're like, bitches. And they move your stuff around {sensory observations}. Ok, I dunno if I have to think of a new one. How about like cats, but they don't eat and they don't shit {cognitive focus on the sensory inconveniences of animals/pets}. They're just like alive, so you don't have to clean their litter box {more sensory observations + cognitive focus on sensory inconveniences}."

1:05 -  "If you were a type of animal, what would you be and why? What is that movie.. the lobster where they have to choose an animal and if they don't partner up they get turned into an animal, and the guy chose a lobster because they live a long time? Whatever, I dunno {possible Ne tangent hopping}, anyways. I'm not gonna choose a lobster, I'm gonna choose.. I dunno, what animal has like an easy, lazy life {more cognitive focus on sensory inconveniences}. Maybe like a bumblebee except that's stupid cuz they're so overly social; they don't have any individuality {possible Fi sentiment?} they're just flying around and... what are they doing, taking honey from flowers? Does honey come from flowers? {possible Ne exploration} I don't even know what the hell honey is, ok whatever {foregoing a chance to explore playfully what honey might be; closing the topic after the hypothetical reached a sensory dead end of known data}. Ok, next question...


I only had time for transcribing 2 of your answers.
The notes in blue psychologically relate best to Se, the notes in green psychologically relate best to Ne, and the violet one psychologically relates best to Fi. So even analyzing things from this angle, the evidence is in favor of Se rather than Ne. I wonder if this helps explains what I mean about your "cognitive focus" still going toward the sensory details of even hypothetical musings?

I might come back later with more, after I get to everyone else's videos. ^^
But let me know if this makes sense!

Hm, I think it's entirely possible that you are NeFi. The way you speak so divergently, getting all the way from whatever the question was to "why would I want snot on my shirt?" And your worldview didn't seem quite so whole. You were sort of asking yourself about your culture, about Italian culture, about American culture. And you say that you're quick to make connections.

I think it's possible that your eyes just sit in their sockets that way, but you didn't strike me as having the same presence of SeJis. Nor did I see any lock-ons. Rather, your toggling seemed all over the place.

Is it at all possible that a strong Ni and Se (or vice versa) balance can generate the 'pseudo-Ne' connection building that he is definitely doing?

This reminds me of how I have 'pseudo-Fe' by combining my dominant Te with my strong polarized Fi. I wonder if this is possible.
