After a lot of consideration, I have determined that alter-egos are the demense of the suggestive function.
Each type has a specific alter-ego:
- LII is the judge of right and wrong
- ESE is the smartest
- ILE is hip and cool
- SEI is genius
- SLI is visionary
- IEE is the savior of mankind
- EII is ruler of the universe
- LSE can do anything
- ESI is rich
- LIE is the judge of fairness
- ILI is unaccountable to anyone
- SEE is in total control
- IEI is invincible
- SLE is always right
- LSI is a perfect saint
- EIE is the ultimate leader
Particularly in times of personal stress, these archetypes become stronger and are used as defensive mechanisms against criticism, particularly with regard to super-ego functions.
Do these jive?
