Socionics :: Information Elements
Te: External dynamics of objects. Objects in motion. Efficiency, productivity (just get a job fag etc.)
I notice when I go for a walk, I absolutely *hate* how often outside objects are moving, especially in American society. It drives me bonkers, drains me of my psychic energy and I have a hard time concentrating. I notice other types this just doesn’t bother them they filter it out in ways I can’t seem to. Even if there are things I’d like to do, I’m too drained by the journey and how everything is moving to even bother caring.
Ne: Internal statics of objects. Potentiality of objects.
This is annoying to me because Ne-valuing types put too much emphasis on how much outside places and institutions will effect my internal states. Ne-types will give a lot of potentials and possibilities to help me but I already know intuitively if something will work or not with my Ni, so they annoy me with their suggestions. I prefer the Ni way in that I already know intuitively how all their suggestions will work out so it’s more a matter of looking in each object deeper and what choice will be the lesser of all evils for me. In fact I hated the gay childhood shows on TV so much that preached to me that in order for me to know if I liked something or not I had to do it. That’s just not fucking true AT ALL for me, it’s just some annoying Ne-cliché.
It’s also annoying for me to get Ne because I’m already so good at Ne. I just don’t really talk about it or ‘activate’ it like Ne-types do.
Si: External dynamics of fields. Tangible connections between processes happening in one place and time.
I notice a lot of creative writing teachers tried to make me more Si then I thought was necessary. Although I know it’s important in writing to show and don’t tell, and to use more nouns and verbs, I always felt that describing physical sensations took away from what was happening. Who fucking cares how specifically and exactly good the carrot cake tasted or how well you described the living room. Se is just blunt and better to me. When people say Si comments I find them ‘interesting’ but I also am always like ‘And the point is….’ Although I do need to have more physical context in my stories, I’d never do them in a Si way because they always want to go annoyingly more deeper into it then I feel is necessary.
Fi: Internal statics of fields. Subjective relationships between objects.
The only part of this that really bothers me (usually it’s boring to me and very demonstrative-function-like) is the moral judgement part of Fi which only really comes into play if it’s a valued function. Like all the times in Starr deltas criticized me for drawing pictures of naked men throat fucking each other or women being beat up. They saw me as the bad guy when really the cool people knew I was just a laid-back guy that liked making friends. They tried to punish me for it because I offended them so much. When Deltas get all morally offended and on a ‘fi-rampage’ I find it both amusing and silly and I just sort of let them self-destruct with that.
Of course, Starr is an extreme example of unhealthy Betas and unhealthy Deltas pissing each other off royally, but still it fits. I’m reading this and wow. It really does work!
