グレンコが書いたILE(ENTP)

To “light up” with an idea, he needs to make it “his own.” ILE generates bold, alternative ideas on any topic he is faced with. If the business or work that he has to occupy himself with doesn’t interest him, he will give it a completely new turn. He can offer many applications to an invention or discovery. He poorly tolerates routine and the shackles of tradition.

This, for him, happens creatively: by destroying, he creates. Around him start to gather supporters of his far-reaching, intuitive ideas. In extreme cases, this may manifest as a real “tilt at windmills” — a kind of open challenge without any real chance to affect change.

The main defining feature of ILE’s behavior with which one can confidently identity belonging to this sociotype is significant scatteredness. The ILE is inclined to leave things where he has previously used them, often losing small objects (such as keys). His workplace and personal belongings are often somewhat of a mess. He forgets what has already been done and what remains to be done. Despite this, ILE can show the necessary resourcefulness and ingenuity in everyday affairs, drawing from every situation even a smallest benefit or favor. This activity of recombination is similar to the character of Ostap Bender, which may cause some to consider him to be clever and elusive.

Once you have intuitively figured out a person, he or she is no longer interesting to you. You don’t know what to do with this person next. This can cause people to dislike you. You also don’t see your true enemies and opposition.

The most familial types in a socion are the Mediator (SEI) and the Enthusiast (ESE). The types most in need of individual care within the family are the Analyst (LII) and the Searcher (ILE).

Searcher — Activator […] Prototype: Innovative project leader […] All of his actions are driven towards distant prospects, with a constant eye on innovation. Like all members of this type, the tendency is to quickly lose interest in any process he initiates, but on a few promising ideas with viable prospects, he will persevere.

Searcher — Examiner […] Prototype: Organizer or active participant equipped with instruments for research expeditions […] He enjoys topics that provide opportunities to logically analyze, particularly theoretical developments, which can then be put into practice. Initial ideas are turned into elaborate theory or better designs suitable for embodiment in a concrete project. He is a structuralist and classifier who can fill the gaps in general schemes.
