Im wondering if this example points more at someone being an Emotivist?
If others in the family home are upset or arguing amongst each other, the individual feels upset also, overwhelmed by the change in mood from positive to negative. The individual retreats from the scene and cries their heart out. Then, the family members reconcile, the individual comes back to the main living area, not upset anymore though a bit muted. The atmosphere is more settled. The individual is at ease again.
I did always consider myself to not be one, though on further reading and self reflection I am realising that I am quite easily affected by the background of interpersonal relationships; I can be quickly unsettled but I do come out of the negative mindset and loose my sense of fear and foreboding when the situation/event has passed. Whereas Constructivists from what I have read, seem to not be as affected by the emotional background. Not easily swayed from their state of mind and feeling until something major happens to disrupt this I.e. personal tragedy.
I maybe have this all wrong. I did consider EII was more likely (and therefore a constructivist) yet now I am trying to look from the outside at myself and perhaps the Ip Emotivist dichotomy is more accurate in describing my adaptivity when it comes to moods and reading the environment. Or dichotomies dont really have much impact on a typing.
