TeSi? SiTe?

Definite Ne toggles tell me Ne/Si. Not sure about the judging functions or hierarchy. I feel like your smiles are voluntary and go wide without meeting any Fi tension, suggesting Fe... and there wasn't any avalanching speech (indicative of Te), but rather a fair amount of Ti pauses. Hmm. It seems I'm convincing myself of Fe/Ti even as I write this. Yeah. I'm feeling Alpha.

But as I mentioned before, I am unsure of the hierarchy of the functions (function stacking, whatever the hell you want to call it). Most of the cues I rely on for typing hierarchy are concerned with posture and body motion, and those were difficult to pick up on in this vid; there was more camera movement than body movement, unfortunately. Despite that, I did get a sense of rigidity in your posture, and certainly a sense of you "standing behind your words", indicative of J-lead and Je-lead, respectively.

I'm becoming confident in reading you as FeSi (ESFJ in MBTI).

Which leads me to this question: What led you to conclude you are Te-lead? Is it your rapport with folks you perceive to be STJ's? Is it something in your own make up, your own psychology, that resonates with descriptions of Te? Self-diagnosing off of your mannerisms using CT's cues?

If it has anything to do with your high-octane will to achieve or overall strident-ness, I would suggest that you read up on the enneagram type 3, 'cause you TOTALLY are one. Here are few links: 1, 2, 3. Will warn you that 3s often have difficulty associating themselves with the characteristics of the 3, largely because they try to escape honest, to-the-bone introspection by achieving external validity instead; stripping oneself bare is exactly what the 3 avoids. Anyway, see if it resonates, if it serves to explain anything.

Hi rockefeller

Well, usually I don't post anymore but now I have a bit more time so I will contribute more I hope. Still, I won't post often anyway, so people, don't be upset if I don't always answer The reason I stopped posting is because I had more and more doubt about my typing abilities, mostly because the more you get into it, the more there are subtleties you discover which can be confusing.

However, here I'm quite confident you're a high Te Gamma, probably NiTe, but TeNi is not impossible. Your eyes seem to lead your head, though it's hard to see in this video, but while you're talking, you keep staring intensely at the camera. There's not much coordination between your mouth and eyes and your speech is not punctuated like a Te-lead's would be. Your eyes are Ni because, eventhough you blink often (but slowly which I noticed is more typical of Se/Ni), they still have the bored "hypnotic" quality of Ni, you never scowl in the Si way. You are mostly in a zoning-out mode. Furthermore they don't look naive at all. I admit, this one is more subjective but pretty evident for me now.

Lots of Ni eyes throughout, some Te gesticulations, and Fi smiles. I didn't see much in way of Je head nods or rigidity. My best guess is NiTe.

It may be helpful if you could create another video where the camera is stationary and positioned more at eye level. Sometimes when the subject is above the camera it can make the eyes appear more Ni than they are.

Yes, I think I was right, you are definitely NiTe  It seems you're confusing MBTI with Cognitivetype theory which are quite different. The MBTI types don't really correspond to the cognitive types eventhough there may be overlaps between the two since they're both inspired by Jung's theory. I don't know if you've already come across this thread but it may be of help: cognitivetype.boards.net/thread/278/transitioning-myers-briggs

At-Ease Zazeef Hi, yes I was missing the forum a bit, got nostalgic and all lol, thanks for your enthusiasm ^^ If I can help, the better, but I'm not infallible...

As for Rockfeller, yes we could say his smile is a good example of sup-polar Fi.

As for Si/Ne eyes, well perception functions are usually harder to distinguish so I will post a video as an example of Si/Ne users. These people speak in French but it's just to show the visual cues, here I think their p functions are pretty clear, their eyes look soft/naive, they blink a lot and more mobile overall. It contrasts pretty well with Rockeller's eyes, to me at least. From left to right: FiNe TeSi, SiTe/NeFi (not sure), FeSi:




I forgot how to do the spoiler thing :/

I am very proud of being Ni/Te, and I feel like my Ni allows me to perceive the world in more ways than meets the eye. My Te helps me stay rational, and my Fi gives me the ability to stay true to my values and not conform to the masses. I was hoping to be Te/Si, or even Te/Ni. because extroversion is seen as something to strive toward. As the 3w4 I am I wanted to feed my ego.
After some research I have concluded that Ni/Te are fantastic cognitive functions that complement eachother well.

I have been reading a lot of history this month, and I realize how degenerated the western world has become, mainly on the behest of the USA, aswell as the British Empire. I have noticed a clear pattern since World War 1 with the utter decadence of the Weimar Republic. With enough data I could probably make an exponential regression, or a differential equation over the past 100 years and the results would be stunning.

Coming to the conclusion that the contemporary world is brought upon us through progressive decay feels really good. I will throw away the degenerated materialism and decadence, and pursue what I am really interested in rather than to succumb to my narcissistic urges. Having weak Se allows me to exclude sensoric gratification. It is a complete shame that so many in todays society are addicted to pornography, erotic novels, movies and tv shows, and games.

Perhaps I'll still go for an MBA with my MD but go for a nontrad path afterward.

I just wanted to thank you for the help of typing, it really helped me a lot and cleared up my mind!
