type my dad

Your dad seem like a really nice guy.

Yeah, TiSe is very likely I think. I can't see the eyes to clearly, so I can't exclude TiNe completely. But based on what he said about himself he definitely seem like a TiSe.

Huh!

He's the second example of this *type* that I can't quite put my finger on. Interesting. It's this sorta semi-effeminated Te that appears a bit like Ti due to its lack of bluntness yet it's still dismissive, monotone and overall has that dispassionate aura. It's quite like Jim Parsons:



Jim Parsons is definitely a Te/Fi user, visible by his snarling and accidental smiles, monotone voice, dismissive (yet gentle) disposition, and he also has that somewhat effeminated quality. I've had trouble identifying whether this is Lead-Te, or Lead-Fi.


-------------------

But your dad's eyes are quite certainly Ne/Si. And not just his eyes but the way his body energy excites, and from what I can tell of his trail of thought. There's a specific sort of humor/silliness Ne has that I've come to recognize but it's hard to explain.

Beyond this I haven't a clue.. ..I just don't think he's NeFi, but TeSi or FiNe are possible --- and SiTe is too. If I went back about 8 months I'd type likely him TiNe, due to how he seems to pause and so forth, but I've since learned to tell apart the difference. Still I dunno how I could quantify that to other since he shows a lot of the 'basic' signals of Ti as shown in the larin series.

Auburn, thats interesting. Is it really possible to have that many of the basic Ti signals and not be a Ti user? Let me just list the basic Ti signals that I'm seeing. 

Ti Signals:
- Momentum halting
- Meticulous hands
- Puppeteer hands
- Eyes looking down + neutralizing energy

I wish we had more than one video to look at, since he is such an interesting person.

hmmm. How does this fit in with his linear and process oriented way of working, where he stays with something until it's done before moving on to a new thing. Isn't that more in line with Se/Ni? Does his "vibe" exclude him from being in the beta or gamma group? Could the Ne/Si signals be accidental like the Ti/Fe signals was? I'm trying to get a better picture of how you think about this.

Wow! I sat down with him and went over the ISTJ profile on www.the16types.info/vbulletin/content.php/252-MBTI-Simulatedworlds-Profiles-for-Introverted-Types and on www.personalitypage.com/html/ISTJ.html. He doesn't really have the patience for a lot of reading about abstract stuff, so we went over it and I summarized a lot of stuff.

Its incredible! You are so right! It was him spot on! At first I was kind of thrown off by the "ISTJ = conservative, close-minded, traditionalist" because my dad is actually a bit of a free spirit in a way.

It is fascinating to think about how the NeFi and SiTe dynamic played into my parents marriage. They had a rather bad divorce. My mom always said that my dad is stubborn and cold, and my dad said my mom is scattered and overly emotional. Really interesting! I plan to talk with my mom about it!

It also explains some interesting phenomena in my dad and my relationship. We have always been pretty close, I think this is because we share a thinking preference in our primary functions. He is an unflappable rock in the tumultous sea of my Ne and Ti logic. I can tell him anything and never worry about dancing around his emotions. I actually have much more mis-communications with my mom than I do with him.

Omg! I am having an Ne explosion! I want to type everyone!! !! This is the most awesome system! Thank you for creating it and doing all these readings for me! I plan to type out my whole family! Muahaha! A video of my cousin will be coming soon!

The only problem is that some people are not open to this theory and would not want to be video taped. I wish I could read so I could just do it in real time and not have to go through this whole process, awesome as it may be.

This is a quick map guide to my family. Since I'm going to be posting videos of most of them I might as well organize it:

Me - NeTi
Mom - NeFi
Dad - SiTe
Dad's girlfriend
Sister
Sister's boyfriend
Cousin 1
Cousin 2
Aunt
Uncle
Grandma
Grandpa
Family friend "C"
Grandpa's girlfriend

I can't wait to get them all! then I can do some real analyzation! It might help as data towards the whole genetic question as well!

Thank you Auburn. I think I understand now.  

His overall vibe only really fit into the delta group and that in combination with the specific Te/Fi and Ne/Si signals means he must be one of those types. It makes sense.

Hehehehe
