Eyes (and Smiles)

"Extraverted Sensing (Se) & Extraverted Intuition (Ne)

The primary purpose of the eyes is extraverted perception. Hence, it does not seem unreasonable to predict the eyes to be most active—darting, toggling, and looking around—when an individual is using an extraverted Perceiving function, i.e., Extraverted Intuition (Ne) or Extraverted Sensing (Se).

As discussed in (the) eBook, My True Type, Se attunes to actualities and concrete details of the immediate environment. It is quick to notice sensory changes or physical movements, which is why SPs often excel in activities like team sports or emergency medicine. The eyes of SP types often appear wide and alert. Since Se is not a verbal function (especially not a “explorative” verbal function like Ne) and its primary focus in a one-to-one conversation is the interlocutor’s physical expressions and responses, ESPs are less likely to appear distracted when conversing than ENPs are (assuming the ESP isn’t terribly bored or restless). This likely ties into what CT describes as the Se “lock in,” in which the Se user locks their gaze onto the person they are speaking with.

Unlike Se, Ne is unconcerned with the concrete details or happenings of the immediate environment. Rather, it is interested in scanning for new ideas, connections, and possibilities. Despite the fact that much of this scanning is mental (N) rather than sensory in nature, when Ne is engaged, the eyes can often be seen darting broadly from side-to-side, as if they were looking around for something. This alone may contribute to ENPs’ reputation for appearing distracted, flighty, and scattered, which is only bolstered by the random, disjointed, and scattered musings of NP types.

Introverted Sensing (Si) & Introverted Intuition (Ni)

CT describes the role of Introverted Sensing (Si) and Introverted Intuition (Ni) as one of perceiving and referencing a preexisting internal worldview. Since all the introverted functions are more intensive and focused, Si and Ni do not involve the broad and sweeping eye movements characteristic of Ne or Se. Instead of looking around, Si and Ni might be described as “looking through their existing inner worldview” (CT).

In my experience, Ni seems somewhat easier to visually identify than Si. When Ni is engaged, the eyes tend to drift a bit to one side and fix their gaze slightly downward. Once the desired perception is retrieved, the individual switches back to the Se lock in (or moves into Fe or Te) and eye contact is restored.

Introverted Feeling (Fi) & Introverted Thinking (Ti)

Introverted Feeling (Fi) and Introverted Thinking (Ti) are introverted Judging functions. Since the eyes are instruments of Perceiving rather than Judging, when Fi or Ti is engaged, the eyes as well as the individual’s facial expressions can appear flat, flaccid, and expressionless (especially with Ti).  According to CT, during the process of introverted Judging, the “body freezes” and the eyes appear disconnected and irrelevant.

When Ti is engaged, the face loses all its expression and the eyes fall downward and disengage. While Fi can also appear flat, once a particular emotion begins to build and gain momentum, it may (despite the best effort of the Fi type to contain it) eventually spill over into the eyes and face.

Extraverted Feeling (Fe) & Extraverted Thinking (Te)

Fe and Te are also Judging functions. But since they deliver judgments and convictions outwardly (i.e., extravert them), the eyes, face, and hands are more active and engaged than is seen with Fi and Ti. Namely, Fe and Te judgments are expressed through accentuated and decisive linear movements of the face, head, and hands. Common among politicians and preachers, such movements convey an attitude of confidence and certainty. They are employed for the sake of persuading, influencing or directing others, as well as for unambiguous self-expression.

Like its blunt and succinct articulations, Te head nods and gestures tend to be quick, precise, and to the point. Its movements are short and sharp, exuding little as far as warmth or empathy.

Fe head movements to be more fluid and elongated, while the individual’s words and face are infused with emotion. When Fe is engaged, the face is animated and full of expression, as it seeks to connect with and influence others on an emotional level. But since Fe users also use Ti, they may alternate between appearing highly expressive (Fe) and showing no expression at all (Ti)." source

 Se Amped Eyes

Se amped eyes

The eyes will appear awake, alert, sharp and piercing. The top and bottom eyelids will be pulled/stretched back, with this stretching continuing into the area around and below the eye.

Se the head moves around while the eyes stay focused

Ni/Se deep set eyes, lower lid crease clearly visible

 

My lower lid crease is definitely visible....

Se eyes relaxed, direct connected, external, strong gaze, open look

Se eyes look all over the place with a noticeable pattern returning to one or more spots they are focusing on something in the room, making large leaps, holding with steady gaze, can move their head in conjunction with their eye movement

Ne Naive eyes

Ne naive eyes

The eyes will appear bright, open, awake – yet altogether harmless and naive. They will have the appearance of wide-eyed-wonder. The top and bottom eyelids will be pulled far back, revealing the eye more clearly and causing an appearance of big, round eyes.

Ne/Si lower eyelid with faint or no visible creases

Ne buoyancy and parody

Ne the head is still and they eyes move all over the place

"The easiest microexpression to spot on the fly is eye movement. Ne eyes — which INFPs have (as well as anyone with strong Ne) — can be spotted after just a few minutes of talking with someone. When an INFP is explaining something, usually they won’t make much eye contact at all. Their eyes tend to move everywhere (much like Si eyes do). However, the key trait of Ne eyes is that they glide upwards when they are thinking or trying to explain something. This gliding motion is slow enough to catch, not snapping all over the place. Ne eyes may be part of the reason why INFPs are often called “cute.” source

"Unlike Se, Ne is unconcerned with the concrete details or happenings of the immediate environment. Rather, it is interested in scanning for new ideas, connections, and possibilities. Despite the fact that much of this scanning is mental (N) rather than sensory in nature, when Ne is engaged, the eyes can often be seen darting broadly from side-to-side, as if they were looking around for something. This alone may contribute to ENPs’ reputation for appearing distracted, flighty, and scattered, which is only bolstered by the random, disjointed, and scattered musings of NP types. "

Ne eyes also look all over the place, but with more random direction, in a sweeping motion

Ni Hypnotic eyes

hypnotic gaze

Ni scowling

Ni non-fovial vision

Ni/Se deep set eyes, lower lid crease clearly visible

 Ni eyes, sinks back, keeps directness, not nec engaged, can stare off into space, but still a direction, squinty

"On the flip side, INFJs have Ni eyes. As Ni-Se are on an axis, INFJs will give some eye contact (Se eyes give heavy eye contact) while explaining things, but will look down and almost space out while they are thinking and talking. INFJs appear much more present in conversation than INFPs as their lower Se reverts them back to giving eye contact more frequently." source

Ni eyes toggle back and forth between two points (can have a zig zag pattern) on horizontal plane, staccato

Si make a series of small shifts that are random in direction and rhthym within a focal area, soft and smooth quality, can drift

Does Greg have an Fe smile??

Fi snarl and taut cheeks

This Fi tension will often create a pained expression on the face, but the internal experience of Fi is not always negative.
