    Default SEIs-ISFps and Ambition

    Tell me that an SEI can be ambitious.

    Tell me that as SEI I can become one of the worlds best cinema thinkers.

    If not then I am going back to INFp.

    (Oh and congrats, SEIs, for having one of the best wikisocion domains. It looks great.)

    You can't be the best there is and be SEI. You can't even be logical and be SEI. I beg you reconsider your options, maybe ESTj is a better fit?

    Amd thanks, all the SEIs worked very hard.

    I thought of saying I just woke up and I'm cranky, but then that would have ruined the contrary-ness of the post. Thanks a lot SEI lady, you're just a dream-killer.

    Excuse me for being annoyed that your crankiness is directed at someone who is apparently seeking an honest answer rather than a sarcastic one.

    I can't be SEI because I do not like the style.

    The whole 'shiny blades' and 'ZOMG!' and 'HIYA FriEND! DD"

    I think EIE is more likely. As long as they can be awesome and be heroes.

    Dammit, I CANNOT be a 'victim' in relationships. I have no time for worry or insecurities.

    And I apologise. This is not the place for this.

    I don't think you're SEI at all, but for what it's worth, I don't have a penchant for shiny blades - the sight of blood makes me sick. I am not a ZOMG, HIYA FRIEND! or DD person either. I am pretty subdued and often serious really. But that's me. :-)

    I personally like shiny things yes, but I HATE blood or watching those surgery shows. Those make me sick.

    anyway, that offensive description was mere lolololol on the domain, very old and exaggerated.

    It is customary for a person to apologise before being forgiven. But in this case your intuition has served you well.

    You are also forgiven.

    LV's logic:

    I'm SEI and my greatest ambition is to eat lots of tasty food.
    Therefore, an SEI's greatest ambition is to eat lots of tasty food.

    Doesn't follow - sorry.

    I don't really think the victim is so much a victim as the receiver of aggressor emotions. And the aggressor isn't aggressive in the negative sense so much as very forward. Aggressor wants to control the direction of the relationship while the victim would rather have someone sweep them along while they manipulate (in a positive sense) the internal environment. Where static Se wants to manipulate it's external environment and make it do what it wants, dynamic Ni wants to soak it up like a sponge because it's physically quantifying they're internal experience. So the aggressor will be more forth-coming and will want things to happen and the victim will have to be able to translate that into a similar internal environment to suit the needs of Se. Ni depends on Se to create the external outward environment. In a very very generalized sense: "You're hot, let's hook up." Otherwise Ni will stay in his/her internal dream world. In turn, Ni reciprocates by seeing beyond the initial meeting and dedicating themselves to making the experience the best it can be. Ni is willing to go with the flow and control things in an indirect fashion so that they won't offend Se's need to be in control of their environment.

    You do seem more serious, but in a way that makes being serious fun. Which is awesome.

    Hahaha. Jem, I am glad you are on the forum. You're probably the best example of an Si-sub SEI on this forum, and it's fun to see the differences between you and the more locally prevalent Fe-subs, who are decidedly more into the "z0mg! WEEEEEEE " stuff. Your ability to casually make the ordinary exciting and the serious whimsical is really cool.

    Also you're generally amazing. Will you be my friend?

    As a side note ^ this ^ is HAWT. Alpha relationships = involving cookies in acts of physical intimacy. Well not really, but my computer's supposedly Unicode font doesn't have the mathematical "contains" operator.
