Furthermore, to the extent that each type expresses something (e.g., the theme of overcoming adversity), presumably it would have a certain flavor to it that would be different from other types. So, what I was asking for is if people had noticed SEIs playing that particular role, and what flavor it had. It's a question that requires an experiential/observational answer like "No, I've never met an SEI like that" or "Yes, and I've observed the following about SEIs when they're expressing the need to overcome adversity."
Obviously, if an SEI is overcoming something, it would theoretically likely be in pursuit of Si/Fe related goals....but that doesn't really tell us that much.
