Help! new type me video!

My computer and phone are apparently not cool with dailymotion. Hrmph. :<

Is there something I'm missing? Will try from another computer later. Waaah.

I'm gonna throw NeFi out there. Your use of hands made me think Ti at first, but I caught a few accidental Fi snarls and as soon as I started looking for Fi, I caught that vibe. Little "sass" postures every now and again, plus a sort of internal, almost uncoordinated warmth (as opposed to Fe's much more deliberate-looking warm gestures).

The gradual sort of toggling your eyes around the room suggests Ne, and though you're rather low-key, there is some momentum going on in your gestures that suggests Pe-leading. I'm not really seeing enough Te to justify SiTe, so my only other suggestion would be maybe FiNe with high use of Ne. This is pretty unlikely, though, because I find Fi-leads to be *much* more distinctly stiff and "J-lead-y" than Ti leads (again, due to that lack of Fe coordination).

You actually remind me of my girlfriend, an introverted NeFi who's also an Enneagram 5. Similar mouth movements and Fi hand gestures, as well as same sort of calmer-Pe-motion most of the time.


And in my personal opinion, everything you're saying about your experience of your cognition sounds like NeFi 5 to me. Pe leads tend to have more trouble with metacognition because their lead process is objective and present, "in your head" or not. I've actually been having difficulty getting my SeTi friend to understand himself and his weaknesses because he devalues every train of thought that doesn't directly lead to food, money, or fun (for At-Ease Zazeef, I would say he's been an extremely entranced 8w7 and struggling to pull out of that). Ne could be similar, but more wrapped up, like you said, in the experience of thinking about things and how things connect to other things. Pe-leads are also diagnosed with ADD and ADHD a lot because of that "Ooh, a new thing! I must discover!".

 Fi types are known for appearing more serious than they really mean to be, and their very realistic look on life is a big factor in that, along with the Fi-tension their face making them appear sad or serious. Enneagram is not an official part of Cognitive Type, but you'll find many members who find that CT is slowly starting to seem less and less of a personality index, and that Enneagram fills that gap nicely. If you are a 5, like myself and my girlfriend (and At-Ease Zazeef up there, who will likely chime in on a similar note), that could contribute to the cynicism and sort of "Things are the way they are, with or without my personal preference" temperament. Ne-using 5s are an interesting bunch, I find, because the 5 pulls toward a darker, more realistic, more cynical worldview, while Ne pulls towards a more open, optimistic, creative worldview. I don't know if they quite balance things out, but it makes for a fairly calm Ne and a fairly open 5.

I'm not a psychologist, so take this with many grains of salt, but I have a feeling that many (but not all or even most) people with ADD are really just Pe-leads, especially the ones that seem otherwise normal except for that "highly active mind" you talked about. Not to devalue actual cases of ADD, of course. I've seen them myself, and I find it very distinct from just a regular ol' easily distracted Pe lead. Ne in particular also has that "NEW KNOWLEDGE, I MUST HAVE IT" vibe, and I suffer from it myself, not to mention that optimistic and creative side.

Hi champagne_dad I think I agree with zweilous, you seem a P-lead Delta, lots of eye darting and toggling going on with Ne soft naive eyes. Your articulation sounds a bit "cold" and blunt which would suggest Te, not to mention the Fi snarls. You sound SiTe but your movements and energy seem more Ne > Si, I'm not really sure. It's possible you're NeFi with a sort of suppressed Fi? The judgement functions are often less distinct in P-lead types so it's possible.

what do you mean by suppressed Fi? 

Also, Introvert or Extravert has pretty close to zilch to do with your lead function. Like I mentioned, my gf is an NeFi that considers herself an introvert. Since she's 5w4, she also prefers her T to her F and it shows in the way she acts and the visual signals she gives off. It's been a challenge, actually, to discover what, if any, parts of her evidence an Ethical>Logical person. The stuff is there, we've found, but in the process we've learned a lot about what Fi is actually like, and the MBTI stuff is very often incorrect. For example, "just following your feelings" is something I've never encountered in a real, healthy Fi user. Fi always has that tough, realistic Te saying that things need to be certain and correct, or at least that they should be considered. My NeFi is a very strategic thinker, a bargain hunter, a puzzler extraordinaire, and an intellectual to the core despite having some insecurities about her brain power due to having the 5 fear of stupid and the Ne-psuedoADD. We thought she was an ENTP before we brought her here, actually.

We have a lot of folks come in who even identify as IN** types that are actually Se-lead, because in this model Se or extraversion-leading people aren't excluded from being quieter or abstract thinkers, and it has more to do with how information is processed in your noggin than what you actually do. To make a relevant example, a person who's mind leads with Ne is predisposed to begin (or at least primarily operate) their thought process by gathering connections, similarities, and dissimilarities out of a pool of data and extrapolate other connections that have not been made yet. This doesn't require the person to be outgoing or sociable, just that there's some relationship to the objective, to the thing being thought about moreso than the thinker themselves. Erifrail has mentioned (possibly in one of the links Peppergirl provided) that Ne-leads are often introverts because that Ne-search can be as simple and quiet as reading a book alone in one's room, or playing a video game. It's technically extraversion because it's playing with and exploring the information provided by the book, despite the fact that there is zero social interaction going on.

I have a strong delta impression, but I was unsure between NeFi and FiNe.
