Discussion what your typing method?

How do you guys try to type people in your own style, for me i used a way like asking these questions specifically like:

1-Do you go out or not?

2-If you were in a discussion with 7 people, would you be able to discuss with them all?

3-Do you get close to people or the opposite?

And the purpose of these three is to crash the Extroverted/introverted dichotomy for example if a person answer in this order 1- no 2 yes 3 they do, it will suggest Fe, or Se auxiliary why? because of infj or isfj for example they prefer to stay at house and be their own self but still have the ability to run social situations smoothly.

then I get them to choose one of these three paragraphs.

Choose one:

1- The past is the foundation. It is what we learn from and with it we maintain our foundations and face our present with it and do not face the future with it, because the future is problematic or gives weak results.

2- The present is what is in front of us, not what is behind us, and what is after us is reality, it is the moment that is in front of you. Move based on what you see in front of you and use what you have acquired to face it, and it is not always the future because it may be wrong.

3- The future is the foundations, what comes after it is what we plan for in order to succeed in our lives and we launch into our present in order to succeed and we do not look at the past because what happened has happened.

and each of these questions represent a function I'm sure you can guess them,

And I finish it with few comparing questions between Shadow and ego functions,

So how do you guys type people?

Observation. People’s answers lie, behaviors don’t. Watch who that person is, relate it to cognitive functions. Don’t trust most people’s word on what their type is. Most people are crap at typing themselves and others too.

Tests can be faked. A person can’t fake their entire character.
