On this page there are people who I would personally classify as EIE (ENFJ). There are a few comments for each example. I now think that pretty much all people who upload videos about themselves to YouTube or other platforms are beta intuitives. In my opinion, YouTube is a very introverted activity, as people mainly sit alone in front of a monitor in their home to speak to an imaginary audience and interact with them through comments. After 10 years of observing typology, it is also clear to me that the majority of people on YouTube probably belong to the IEI sociotype, which has led to a certain realization for me regarding the complexity of the structure of a „type“, considering how different people potentially are despite their same „type“. I am very aware of the subjectivity of this observation and suspect that the sociotype itself is only one of several layers of the psyche and the „type“ itself probably has little effect on a person’s „personality“. I also suspect that personal interests and political orientations are another aspect of the psyche that people do not necessarily consciously determine, but rather are dependent on concrete experiences and the structure of their personality. I think this is a fundamentally different aspect to the intertype relationships of socionics, and they also have a major impact on whether or not people get along with each other in the long term. In this sense, I am somewhat moving away from the original socionics itself, at least in terms of how the types and relationships are defined. EIE is, in my view, one of the few types that also gets involved in the area of media. On a communicative level, it is arguably the most social and expressive of the 16 types.
Examples
PewDiePie
Felix Kjellberg (Pewdiepie) was at one point the person with the most followers and fans on Youtube, which he describes with the military-themed term „9 year old army“. I personally perceive him as a very emotional person who likes to joke, fool around and needs to let off steam from time to time by singing or dancing, which in my eyes corresponds very well to the EIE sociotype. Occasionally he shows an interest in philosophy and a deeper understanding of the world. However, he finds it difficult to maintain a positive view of the world, probably because EIE is a negativistic type (Fe- as a base function). I think temperamentally Pewdiepie is on the right of the political spectrum, and he now lives a relatively secluded life in Japan with his wife Marzia (IEI), although he showed more introverted behavior patterns in the early days of his career. I think he is a creative subtype in the DCNH system. Interestingly, he himself took a test on the 16 types in the American version and got SLI as a result, the exact opposite of the type I suspect he is.
Karl Rock
Karl Rock is a person on YouTube who, in my opinion, looks very similar to Pewdiepie and is aware of it. Many of his videos revolve around his life in India.
Greg Doucette
Doucette is a person on Youtube who posts a lot of videos about fitness and physical culture. He has a very talkative and loud temperament with a very incisive voice and makes a lot of social commentary about other people on the platform. Interestingly, he has also posted videos about Pewdiepie and has spoken positively about him. I suspect his interest in him is due to their same sociotype.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is probably one of the most famous people in the world right now, who, like Pewdiepie, has built up a cult-like fan base. While Pewdiepie jokingly refers to his fans as a „9 year old army,“ Taylor Swift’s followers are referred to as „Swifties,“ who are obsessively involved with her private life. I consider her to be a very expressive, highly emotional person who could be described as liberal. Like PewDiePie, I think she is a creative subtype.
Niamh Adkins
わだありちゃんねる
A Japanese Youtuber who caught my attention through her video about her type. She has very expressive facial expressions that stand out as a feature of EIE from my point of view.
Marz
Marz uploads videos about video games that I personally find very interesting, such as the games from the studio FromSoftware. She got the EIE (ENFJ) type as a result in a test and I think this assessment is correct. Like Adkins, she is characterized by very expressive facial expressions and her eyes move in different directions at a similar rate. In my opinion, Marz is on the left spectrum in terms of temperament and is characterized by developed artistic creativity. Of all the examples on this page, she probably has the greatest overlap with my own temperament.
Sydsnap
Sydsnap is a very expressive and loud personality on Youtube who mostly makes videos about Japan. I’m not entirely sure if she’s not actually an IEI type, but her expressive nature fits very well with the extroverted type.
Anna Cramling
Anna Cramling is a chess player who is characterized by a very open, emotional and inviting personality.
Richard David Precht
The next three examples refer to German public figures. Precht is a philosopher, Kamps was a presenter with a very direct and emotional communication style, Winterscheidt is an entertainer on television in various programs.
Gülcan Kamps
Joko Winterscheidt
