As someone who adores Te egos, I have had the pleasure of interacting with many of them and would like to share my observations regarding patterns in physical appearance and behavior, which can be helpful for typing. I don't have as many firsthand data points regarding LIEs, but combining the ones I know in real life with famous LIEs and videos shared of LIEs here, I think there's enough for a pattern. Please share if your observations are different or if you have more elaborate ones!
Physical appearance
ILIs are thinner than the others.
LIEs tend to have broader/wider faces than the others. Additionally, male LIEs tend to have larger frames.
Gamma NTs have more feminine hands--slender, long fingers that taper to the tip, smooth. Delta STs have more masculine hands--thicker fingers that are close to the same width up to the tip, a bit rougher. Male Te leads have larger hands, conditional on height.
Gamma NTs have sharper facial features--e.g., pointier noses. Delta STs have softer facial features--e.g., curvier noses, more of a roundness to things.
Behavior
I originally intended this thread to be just about VI differentiation, so I don't have as much to say here, but something quirky/amusing I've found is that Gamma NTs seem to love talking about UBI on first dates. This has happened to me 5 times.
Would love to hear about any other patterns of quirks you've noticed, on the level of enough detail/specificity that type descriptions don't include them. Like the UBI thing makes sense in light of Gamma NTs' ego functions, but we wouldn't a priori predict that they would talk about it on dates a lot.
Edit: Also, if he talks about sex quickly/easily (making sexual jokes, hinting at preferences), he's probably Gamma NT over Delta ST (though if he doesn't talk about sex early on, it doesn't necessarily point one way or another). Doesn't seem to apply to female Gamma NTs htough.
