Mhm, you have a point.
Now, as for the differences:
- LIE-Te's weakest functions are Fe,Si,Fi. Aka the ones you are really good at. You can spot this type of LIE by their strict and overly enterprising manner, they are strongly focused on whatever strategy they pursue and disregard those who want to disturb them. Very principled and stubborn, manages things well. VERY dynamic. Keen on moral conduction of all things, criticizes flaws. Persistent and firm. Hates to be disrespected and has a temper connected to that. Able to mobilize support.
-LSE-Te's weakest functions are Fe, Ni, Fi. So they lack the intuitive element and not Si, which lends a manner that is more dry and serious, lacking in wit. Sharp and more vindictive than LIE-Te, the latter moves on with ease. Far more orderly and realistic in their projects, more disciplined. Quality >idea. Secretive about their feelings. Talks less, does more. Tireless worker, conservativist (while LIE likes all things novel), monitors order religiously and is occupied with real-life functionality. Rather does everything on their own.
As for your agenda of attracting a LIE-Te, stay grounded at first. When you feel lonely (= incomplete), you will get only 50% of a person, equally. Look for someone complementary who doesn't fill a void, but is attracted to you as a 100%-person, being a 100% person themselves. When you can't deal with being lonely on your own, your dual can't fix that. When they're gone, you're lonely again, and that can happen any day. So watch out when Fi's dependency enters the picture and reflect on what other wishes besides having a dual are there. Look for an environment to be in that values Te instead so you can develop your character (this forum is a good choice
). Health level is very important when attracting one's dual, you would probably attract LIE-Te already if your ESI-ness was in full bloom. Meaning: character development > dualization. Dualization can help develop character but working on oneself does matter before jumping right into it.
