I'm curious about what the information elements and their placements in the psyche to the evolutionary table , and in what situations would certain types thrive or suffer in terms of survival and reproduction. For example, introverts have the benefit of minimizing potential dangers by keeping their interactions with the outside by a minimum thus allowing them more time reproduce over the general population. Extroverts on the other hand would place themselves in greater hazards but in turn increase amount of sexual partners available by being more present.
I'll create a brief summary of situations in which it would be beneficial for an individual to have a certain IE as a leading function:
: Best when the individual lives in constantly hazardous environment
: Best when one in is in an environment prone to foreseeable disasters
: Best in places with extremely scarce resources that must be captured by force
: Same as Se except when it becomes beneficial to outwit the competition rather then fight it
: Best when the individual is alone and in a stable environment where it is simply best not to do anything stupid that would put yourself in danger
: Best when the individual is in a small group where offending a certain individual could mean death or imprisonment
: Best when the individual in a place full of resources that can be extracted and made use out of
: Best when the individual must interact with many new people constantly whom can inflict harm of they get rubbed the wrong
Actually when you think about it like this it becomes clear why irrationals thrive in primitive conditions and rationals thrive in stability doesn't it?
I'd like to hear if anybody has any thoughts about situations where certain types specifically would thrive in.
