    Default Se vs. Si

    Se vs. Si:

    Se: Sudden, Worse Tempo, Strong, Pure, Simple, Clear, Rhythm, Stand Out, Higher highs/Lower lows

    Si: Smooth, Better Tempo, Balanced, Varied, Complex, Colorful, Harmony, Blend In, Regular attunement

    Se can be characterized by a raw separation of phenomenon, devoid of its relationship with all other materials, except what it seeks to be paired with romantically (Ni dual-seeking). This phenomenon, while it can be objectively observed in a quite complex environment, is quite elemental in actuality.

    Si, in contrast, seeks a greater harmony with its relationship to its environment and so it blends itself in with every function, and every other facet of reality. (and scientifically there is probably no way really to separate any material form from its functional counterpart)

    This is why, INFp and ESTp types are more likely to be ‘romantics’ and find that one special thing that is cut aside from the world… in a pure form idealistically, whereas types like ENTp and ISFp need a better base in the ‘real world.’ This sense of romance doesn’t even have to be another person really, but it just shows how technically ‘separate’ and ‘removed’ Se/Ni is, compared to Si/Ne. It’s in everything the Se/Ni valuer does.

    What is strange about INFp/ESTps to other people, is how well you have to treat them emotionally compared to other people, just so they will do what other types perceive as basic things in life; those sort of things that they think make everybody feel connected. As long as they feel that they found what they were looking for idealistically, they really have no issues doing the ‘real world’ things that people want them to do, but if this is somehow not being received well, they will just go off to the side and create their own way until they are better listened to. But if you do understand this, then you can manipulate the Se/Ni valuer to do what you want even if you are not a Se/Ni valuer – and very intelligent narcissists and people high up in society already know this anyway, of course.

    I´m a narcissist, you called me one, so if I´m very intelligent I know this already lol. And yes I think I get what you mean.

    But anyway I see that Si relates to comfort and such things as physical touching, hugging, etc, in a pure sensory form, are Si, while they may also be Fi.

    So I think what you call romantism must be understood in this light. To me the greater romantics are the ones who sleep holding their dear in their arms and wake up and just look at them and smell their necks and feel their skin and kiss their necks and reassuringly - sometimes to the point of being inconvenient - embrace the partner even closer tightly to his/her own naked body or half naked, feeling the skin contact as something very pleasurable and viewing the physical embrace as protecting and loving. I think this probably has to do with Caregiver behaviour anyway.

    OH YES

    I get really bad head aches and depressed when I don't get enough Si. I snuggle against people in expectation of them to rub cheeks with me. Squirl kisses, or just little touches throughout the day is really nice. ....ummm

    I can be a kitten that way, meow.

    I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    No offense but hear I think your describe the INFp... the ESTp is seeking after this unconsciously but doesn't produce/generate/have it. They want to get that from INFps.

    Se isn't so detached and romantic... its very objective and realistic. But it's not like scientifically objective with a lot of formal logic and what not, its the sort of "It is what it is" thing. Se people see reality just exactly like it is right here and now... that ball is red... they don't care if it could be blue... its red and that's how it is. That's , its very matter of fact.

    Se-leading types are probably the most keenly aware of reality as it is now. The ESTp has creative Ti, which usually means they are the type to be aware of reality and they know how to work with systems. This mentally complements the INFp because they have a Ti-HA, and the ESTp can help them work the system to accomplish their goals.

    Lets look at the ESTp and INFp...

    INFp...
    + Ego -- The Ni enables them to see the big picture, see how the dominoes fall into place, see the big picture... since they are creative Fe... usually these "dominoes" which fall into place are Fe info. They look at all the outward emotional expressions of things and people and see how this all fits together. This is what makes them romantic, compassionate, etc.... They have a global portrait of their feelings and the feelings of other people at large. The problem is, such a global feeling viewpoint gives them little time to consider more sensory and logical information. In particular they have strong desires and know what it is they want because they have a global viewpoint, but they are unable to do the required things to accomplish this. INFps will find themselves thinking, if only the system was setup differently, I would be able to accomplish my goals. They are therefore very resentful towards logical systems in a way and have a hidden agenda to influence these system in order to achieve their goals through Se... however the INFp is not likely to actually involve themselves with this, they are likely to go back to there dreamy romantic emo state of Ni with creative Fe.

    ESTp....
    + -- The Se enables them to be quickly aware of what is happening as it is. Usually this observation is supplied by a creative function, in the ESTp that is Ti. So to them they are very aware of how logical systems affect external reality. The system itself is of little importance, the result of what its consequences are is. Generally enough observation into this gives them an awareness of how to work the system to accomplish their goals. It gives them an awareness of what is required to fulfill out an agenda. They are very skilled at this and can effectively "work" whatever logical system to accomplish their agenda. Even people... once they understand you as a logical system they can effectively operate with you socially. The problem with the ESTp is all of this awareness on logic and reality leaves them feeling lost and without anything really meaningful in there life. Sometimes they lack enthusiasm or feeling in what they are doing and therefore feel they must force or create feeling or enthusiasm in an environment... this being their Fe hidden agenda.

    The INFp + ESTp fit together so well because the ESTp helps the INFp accomplish things, and the INFp gives the ESTp the feeling like there is something meaningful. The relationship combines a very realistic cynical ST who is skilled at working the system with a very romantic idealistic NF who is emotionally aware at the global level. In return the NF gets their agenda accomplished and the ST gets some semblance of meaning.

    ENTps and ISFp have a totally different thing going on... Its very similar because the hidden agendas are the same... but they are concerned with and ... Ne is about possibilities and uniqueness and Si about comfort, internal body sense, and sensation. This is what gives there relationship that alpha feel... because its quirky in an Ne way and comfortable in a Si way. The Ni/Se is more about the global picture and decisive action... Ne/Si is more laid back and childlike.

    In RPG terms...

    INFp = spellcaster with a more mystical/dreamy quality ( dominant, distant dreamy detached, sees things like a massive web/weave and works that weave)
    ENTp = spellcaster with a more cocky/roguish/witty/exploitive quality ( dominant, unique quirky odd, twists possibilities/potentials to be exploitive)
    ESTp = warrior/rogue with a decisive/smart/cocky hans soloish quality ( dominant... etc etc)
    ISFp = healer/druid/civilian with a comfortable/open/calm quality ( dominant... etc etc)

    interesting Lobo. I wonder how would that transpose to the other Beta duals, ISTJ and ENFJ.

    Lol this isn't lobo, its luciddreamz... its confusing for spanish speaking people.

    It's very much the same two functions the biggest difference is they are both rational rather than irrational. The ENFj's hidden agenda is to have a realistic impact (Se), while the ISTj's hidden agenda is to have an influence on peoples concept of the global picture and their internal beliefs (Ni). The ENFj's Fe is fueled by this larger picture (Ni) and the ISTj's systematic logical nature is fueled by decisive realistic impact (Se), so they both get the dual seeking element and fulfill each other's hidden agenda.

    It's really the same themes as beta irrationals... the thing is the beta rationals have a focus on different things and this slightly modifies their outward characteristics and needs.

    INFp = dreamy, melancholic, pensive, contemplative, romantic
    ENFj = enthusiastic, expressive, influential, charming, charismatic
    Beta NF -- Combines Outward Emotional Expression with a Global Interconnected Viewpoint

    ESTp = decisive, directive, realist, assertive
    ISTj = systematic, practical, procedural, matter of fact
    Beta ST -- Combines Systematic Logic with a Matter of Fact Realist Decisive Approach




    Beta Quadra Characteristics
    -----------------------------
    emotionality (outwardly clearly visible expression of emotions)
    thought processes (systematic logical constructs)
    in action (decisive and to the point)
    influenced beliefs (see how individual elements connect together to form a global picture)



    Beta Quadra Perspective
    -----------------------------
    Responds to emotionally (notices outwardly visible signs of emotions)
    Responds to logically (pays attention to logical systems)
    Responds to in reality (pays attention to the surface aspects of reality)
    Respond to in contemplation/imagination (pays attention to the cascade of consequences created by a single action)

    somebody posted something awhile ago about internal and external, with a diagram. it was really good. anyway what that diagram left me with was a clearer understanding of how SLE/IEI vs SEI/ILE operate.

    SLE: totally externally oriented. kind of a void in his inner life.
    IEI: totally internally oriented. kind of a void in his external life.

    this is why they need each other. they are extreme people who need another extreme person to balance them out.

    SEI: balanced between internal and external.
    ILE: balanced between internal and external.

    they each need another balanced person so they don't get out of balance.

    ok so when i think of my relationship with infpman, it's a little bit out of balance in favor of internal, since i am half internal and he is 100% internal. i get frustrated because i want to seek adventures in the real world and he needs that special Se to bring him out of the space time continuum. he gets frustrated because my Se isn't strong or nuanced enough. i get frustrated because he doesn't notice when i'm out of balance...i have to make a huge display, then he picks up on it tries to do things that will make it better. but i have to say he doesn't have it and it's not enough.

    so we talk about these things....and try to help each other....and try to find help in other ways. it's a good thing we have the language even if we don't have the skill to do it.

    ILE

    those who are easily shocked.....should be shocked more often

    yes there is more to Se than the stereotype. But stereotypes exist for a reason. And I know a few SLEs who fit that bill. There are other factors that affect how they come across: gender, culture, IQ, education, etc. My SLE sister-in-law is extremely sophisticated plus she's been dualized for 20 years now and she's almost a pure mix between IEI and SLE. It's amazing.

An idea, a thought, a feeling, a spiritual experience - all these things are objects, too, in a Socionics sense. So while Ne-people understand what these experiences can be transformed into, Se-people understand the experience itself. I would say Se-people more than anyone can experience things in their true form. It means you could easily argue that Se-egos are MORE spiritual than most. But that wouldn't be accepted by people here, seeing Se-egos as these stupid bulls just moving around to manipulate people to please themselves.
    yeah that makes sense. And that's why Se-egos are refreshing to IEIs because they don't worry about what something may become or where it's going or what the implications are. It's like they can appreciate things for what they are right now. I have been surprised by their romanticism, but it doesn't come across that way. They remember events, significant places, exchanges, etc and those things hold meaning for them. But they aren't "romantic" in the head-in-the-clouds sense of the word.

    No, Lobo used to use the avatar of a wolf, this is what confused me. I don´t speak spanish as a mother tongue, I speak portuguese, which is very much unlike spanish. People who speak portuguese don´t understand spanish speaking people and vice versa, mainly because the languages separated and became more different over time, though they have a common origin, much like dutch and german, if you take dutch to be portuguese and german to be spanish, you have a fairly accurate comparison. Anyway,

The ENFj's hidden agenda is to have a realistic impact (Se), while the ISTj's hidden agenda is to have an influence on peoples concept of the global picture and their internal beliefs (Ni).

    Aren´t these HAs debatable? Se-HA is very clear to me in INFPs, they want to have an impact, realistic, sure, powerful, some sort of power. 'To have powerful impact on others' is how I would translate this HA from the INFPs I know. This is why they like so much shit like Psychoanalysis. They can spend their whole day 'impacting' their clients with their 'insights' which are seldom something good for the patient, as they tend to have a very sadistic vein and love to convince others that others have loads of problems which they don´t see, but the INFP sees and they better take care of these huge problems [inflict fear/psychological pain/sadism]. I know a young INFP who´s better than my aunt but still, she´s studying Psychology and has this same attitude of envy, because she´s envious of others, and thinks she´s pure shite, she has to point out to everyone their 'psychological problems'.

    Ni-HA has been equalled to 'believing', 'seeing a great purpose and meaning in life', 'spirituality' as far as I know. Not INFLUENCING OTHERS IN THEIR OWN BELIEFS... Where did you get this HA from, can you elaborate further on this?

    Beta Quadra Perspective

    Responds to in reality (pays attention to the surface aspects of reality)

    this chart is interesting.

    YES. I didn't even realize this about myself until I actually had a big impact on someone and I felt this strange sort of completion. Like this was the purpose of my life. Even though the impact I had on this other person, didn't mean anything for me externally. Still, knowing that I was the cause was profound.

    Red, do you kind of like it or feel something you cannot label as a bad feeling when you tell people about how fucked up they are internally? Or how they have these issues which they have to solve, or in any way you kind of slightly inflict some bad feeling in them by using these emotionally clever methods?

    I have seen this methodology of sadism through the use of psychology in these 2 INFPs, that auntie I better keep away from and this girl who´s now 20 years old and we´re almost friends, she kind of respects me for seeing me drunk grabbing her and telling her I would love to fuck her, this type of caveman behavior often makes INFPs somewhat curious and excited about the man in question. But I deviated from the question, please answer if you can Redbaron.

    "isn't detached and romantic" my ass. egos can be plenty idealistic and visionary. Ideas tend to matter to them a lot. You guys seriously have no clue lol.
    The problem is, if there is no intellectual sustenance... then how can you be certain that you've typed the person correctly as ego? I mean what is the measuring stick or standard you use to determine if something in reality is if you don't have an intellectual understanding... people don't have Se attached to their forehead, that is unless you spend too much time on socionics forums, then they really do have functions associated with them and you don't have to understand a thing. You just have to look up what "experts" tell you and then observe their characteristics, and you have essentially bullshit.

    Go back to economics and politics, where you can play the "theory is for mathematicians, this is the real world" card and everyone will really be impressed.

    Lol um of course its seen from the outside... how can you really know what an Se-ego thinks and feels and be certain? Besides measuring it from outside observation.

    Second the red ball thing your taking too seriously.. my illustrative point is Se-egos see the outward objective characteristics of reality. Like a ball being red... thats OBJECTIVE information that is clearly viewed from outside. The ball being soft... thats SUBJECTIVE information that is clearly viewed from ones internal sensations. Someone may think the ball isn't soft, but no one can disagree that the ball isn't red.

    Also stop whining that people here won't accept Se-ego are highly spiritual. I've heard no one argue against this idea, and if that's your axe to grind with my post, then your completely off mark.

    Lol I think claiming Se people to experience things in true form is a bit of a lofty claim. I don't think any type experiences things in a truer or more false form. They are merely different perspectives. All irrational functions are focused on observation without judgment weighed via thinking feeling... who is to say one observation is "truer" than another.... your post clearly shows bias to an agenda and not adherence to strict scientific objectivity. Personally I don't want your agenda of telling others how awesome and spiritual and divinely truth seeing ESTp's are in comparison of other types to interfere with a clear objective understanding.

    Your being defensive against me apparently claiming ESTp are stupid manipulative bulls.... which isn't my doing, your taking what little information I posted and twisting it into something negative and then reacting against that defensively.

    Because that's what I literally said... I mean I remember saying an Se-ego sees the ball as red. I don't remember saying an Se-ego only sees the ball as red. Take a second to let that swirl around in your head and really take it in.

    Lol and once again more with the grandiose claims. I'm starting to think you've type yourself as an ESTp to feel better about yourself by attribute grandiose self-aggrandizing claims to yourself based on weak objective reasoning and not to really understand yourself as you are.

    This is more likely attributed to miscommunication between parties than it is a failure in understanding. Its the whole "its not what you know, its what you can show" thing. Right now, obviously your failure in interpreting my dialogue is apparent and therefore I'm not showing what I know effectively enough.

    The lesson for you however, is that you shouldn't make assumptions about what others know purely from their dialogue, especially when you seem to not do it proper justice. Which is essentially what you did.... talk about me. And why this is now become what it has. Stop panning for the moral high ground, and lets clear up our disagreement as equals on the same plane.

    K ummm.... let me try what you did to me above.....

    lets see....

    um..... *clears throat*

    So you say only Se-egos react with violence to people screaming at them? Damn. I feel sorry for intuitives.

    ... see its not hard to straw-man argument your opponent...

    but I have to be sure to now make grandiose claims about my ability to "win" discussions. Lol. win discussions... hahahahh

    Sure you didn't talk about me... I guess by my post you meant undescript entity number 2523626. Right....... you didn't talk about me one bit.... we are just idly chit chatting about random stuff and in now way are you trying to criticize my post.... that's not happening at all.... *waves arm like jedi mind trick*

    I understand of course, though you do not wish to take our discussion further... which is of course a reasonable course of action, but don't try to posture yourself like the innocent lamb here, if you criticized my post, I have the right to intellectually defend it... I'm not the aggressor here... I'm just defending my post. If you would have left me alone, I wouldn't have engaged you in dialogue. Now please leave this discussion and don't return until your ready to continue this dialogue. (by discussion I don't mean this thread, obviously you can continue to post in the forum... but don't bother me unless you wish to continue)

    Hmm...I got it...so a person is either a 'mature, open, can-handle-truth' or a person who prefers to live life in total avoidance, a loser. Obviously whoever comes to tell you that he/she doesn´t think you should be saying that about his/her problems becomes immediately a loser. I´m getting to know better the INFP mentality. Interesting. In fact somewhat disgusting, because you think you see more than you do and you think you are more right than any human being can be in your attempts to 'solve' others´ psychological problems. You INFPs may become too proud of your Ego block combination of elements and thus start acting in a very arrogant manner which is after all, totally unwise. You end up doing lots of shit until you change ways. I will never forget that I had to tell this INFP aunt that I was never bisexual and that she was a pervert and a moron for thinking I was, and this proved my theory that Freud was a bisexual cocaine addict and I could apply the same rule to her, while she looked at me freezed, and my mother stood paralized also, then I told them to get in the car to drive her home. Fucked up cocaine addict psychoanalytical slut.

    Thanks for the reply Redbaron I like you, unlike my aunt.

    I'm just in "the debate" right now trying to defend my OP, it's not personal.

    lol, no you're not understanding me. Thing is, I can tell BEFORE I talk to the person, whether they're the type of person who will receive my comments well or not (and of course it's not always that black and white either. sometimes there are people who want help with certain topics but not with others). I've rarely (if ever) been in a situation where someone told me they didn't think I should be saying whatever about their problems. I mean, it's all about tact and working around the subject to begin with and feeling them out, if you don't know them that well. if you DO know them well, then you already know if they can handle your comments or not! For example, I know SLEs can take it. In fact, they eat it up. I've never said anything to an SLE that they took offense at. Which of course makes them completely rockin in my book because it means I can say whatever I want without editing! EIEs can also take it although they may or may not agree. IEIs can take it and they agree but they don't usually even need my help or comments because they already know and we laugh about it together.

    I´m getting to know better the INFP mentality. Interesting. In fact somewhat disgusting, because you think you see more than you do and you think you are more right than any human being can be in your attempts to 'solve' others´ psychological problems.

Fucked up cocaine addict psychoanalytical slut.
    lol I'm just not sure where you're getting this "disgusting arrogance" from. I'm sorry about your mixed up aunt but that doesn't say much about IEIs, imo.

    lol, I guess I'm pretty cuddly.

    Maritsa, if you know how to make tasty things, I think we'd get along very well

    EDIT

    I think for Si bases, just look helpless/in pain or complain about things to solicit hugs and comfort from us. You need to be a bit more indirect, but you'll find we have radar for these things, so the message is unlikely to get lost

Abstract depictions are always a synthetic understanding; they can never substitute for the real understanding one can only get from direct, firsthand experience.

    With schizophrenia, you're conflating diagnosis with understanding. You can spot the symptoms of something without having to understand much about it. This is what psychiatrists/psychologists are trained in. They don't have to know the experiential reality of what schizophrenia is like to carry out their profession (though the good ones will try and attain, as much as is possible, an understanding of that experience nevertheless).

    Similarly, when it comes to types and info-elements—one can spot their symptoms from an external view and accurately identify them. But don't dare think you know what goes on in their heads, what their motives are, or how they experience reality. You don't and you never will for the most part. All you have are a few external cues allowing you to type them. Its only a limited surface view of that person, that's quite it.
    Yea its not a dumb viewpoint, but the I could do without the attacks, or possibly what I had perceived as such. Maybe you simply were saying that my writings on Se are less interesting than reading a post from an ESTp talking about personal experience.

There are of course times you can make some reliable, useful approximations with it—i.e., in the hard sciences, which deal with characteristically simpler kinds of phenomena. But trying to force-fit the complexities of real-world economic activity into the facile, theoretical parameters of the closed-systems that econometricians play with, is an epic exercise in naivete and futility. Unfortunately for us, when it comes to matters of economics, these vaunted little math games they play at central banks and government policy centers, are costing the livelihoods of every person on the planet.
    Well personally I'm not saying mathematicians are better or that mathematicians are the kings of economics, and there ideas produce better judgments on the issues than econometricians.

    I was just saying that there can be more than one way to think about an issue. Most of my posts on socionics are likely to be very much like what you observed... especially in general discussion. If this doesn't interest you then that's fine, but I also want to make sure if I get criticized I can at least learn the way in which what I wrote was a false representation/model of reality.

    meh, I don't think I have a dehumanizing viewpoint. But I'd be interested in hearing if you think I do, because honestly I'm not trying to dehumanize ESTps and INFps... I have a very specific set of characters I've seen that I was thinking about when I wrote that. I was merely attempting to explain the nature of the interaction between ESTps and INFps as the ESTp is a realist who has unfilled idealism, and the INFp is an idealist who is unfilled in reality. When they fit together it means each of them fulfill each others unfulfilled part by merely being as they are. I don't feel like that's dehumanizing... actually I feel rather positive about that. I REALLY don't understand how merely making such an observation could have really disgusted you so heavily, how it relates to me being an ego.

    possibly... I always run into problems whenever I use the word objective/subjective in a post.

    I'm just saying, what I'm interested in is the theoretical principles which can be used to create a complete portrait of the ESTp.... I'm less interested in people's personal opinions/experiences/and so forth about ESTps.

    Facts and Opinions... lets try these words instead of Objective/Subjective.....

    I am interested in the facts concerning ESTps rather than peoples opinions concerning ESTps... at least in this context.

    Uncle John: Come here Timmy, let uncle john touch you... you said your head hurt right? There's that's all better
    Timmy: *shivers neurotically and fearfully

    Lol I'd never do that to a kid.... in fact I'm probably too much on the other side of the coin... I purposefully don't like physical contact when there isn't this kind of intuitive understanding of permission... it makes me feel so much like a creep... even when other people touch me or accidently bump into me.
