I was thinking about types of pain – physical and emotional – and socionics, and wondering about the possible correlations between socionics type and the way a person handles pain.
For me [IEE], w physical pain I prefer to get rid of it as soon as possible, but I don’t make a big fuss over it externally [and I sometimes am impatient w people who do], and I can sort of tune it out until it goes away or I find a way to correct the cause. But w emotional pain, it haunts me; I can and do distract myself, and I still don't make a big fuss, but I am always on a quest to get rid of it by finding and correcting the cause.
Do other Delta NFs identify with this? [I know it could be related to E7 as well]
And I imagine it’s almost the reverse for Delta STs… would you guys identify with this:
