    Yeah, I think Si types, especially Delta ST's, are some of the most useful types.

    Well, I can't fix cars. I don't do much of anything with my life. I accomplish next to nothing.

    One of the SLI's uses comes from practical activities. There's few if any types that can beat them at that sort of thing.

    Okay, maybe when forced to do a task that requires "practical" skills and common sense, then yes, I would say they're quite useful in that regard.

    I hate to play on the stereotypes, but for the most part their true. I've found myself being able to build kitchens, bathrooms and generally fix things with an aptitude at least as good as other people who have been doing that sort of stuff for ages. To us these things are common sense..and coz it's natural you might not realise how good you are, until you compare it to other people..like you say..common sense

    What's awesome is that the type that some would say are useless... other's may say are the most helpful. From this alone we can see that this is a retarded conversation all together.

    It's ok... this is not really the quote of a useless type... they're here to make others do stuff to shut them up... that's what make them useful...

    ... luckily Ti types are naturally conceited and self confident.

    i also have no idea why the thread was posted. maybe because it makes no sense Fe wise.

    There isn't any use or point to *anything.* And everything. At all. Life itself (and everything in it, including socionics) *is* pointless/nihilistic/useless, but it's up to each individual to find their own meaning. It can seem very pointy and wonderful, but it's all just an illusion. Illusions aren't bad or hopeless either- they're grand, you can embrace a dream for its own sake. If dreams always have to come a reality- don't they kind of lose their power? This doesn't mean that life is a bad thing though, life is actually very great because of this reason. That there is a point or some sort of 'path' is very bigoted and heterosexist actually. There's no use in anything. Stop looking at things in that way.

    It's not about use. It's about gestures. What you think of having 'use' you just like it because of its GESTURE - not 'use.' I realize this is heavy thinking, but so what. It's true. If you ever contemplated about life while on drugs or a substance that gets in touch with your natural creativity and spiritual side of the brain, you'll know what I'm talking about.
    We all have our own point and path, and we define them ourselves as we go along. This thread wasn't serious to begin with, but if it had been it would have been asking each voter to use their own definitions of "use".

    That there is a point or some sort of 'path' is very bigoted and heterosexist actually.
    That's an interesting way to spin this thread.

    I've just noticed that no one voted for SLE. Because they can't. It's not an option. Instead, there are two LSEs. One which one person has voted for, the other which no one has voted for. If I was an LSE, I'd like to be the LSE that no one voted for.

    It's unlikely that people vote useless for their conflictor. They might dislike them, but considering them useless, no.

    Usually, conflicting relations aren't that bad...

    Least comfortable relations are probably Super Ego and Quasi Identical.

    They bring peace in this whole playground of conflict that we call "Earth".

    They are able to lead others in a harmless way ; I mean, they aren't autocratic bossy retards like Stalin or ****** or such.

    They are playful and funny.

    They are empathetic and accomodating, though not weak-minded and self-effaced (unlike an EIE-2).

    They are talkative, and are able to understand everything, even the very complex speech of LII's.

    They are outgoing, yet not pushy (unlike an EIE-6 or a SEI-4)

    They look dumb, but are pretty smart, like LII's.

    They are docile subordinates, though not over-compliant retards, like EIE's or IEI's. (That's why I think Beta ST's are stupid)

    Why is the EIE weak-minded but the ESE isn't?

    They are [...] able to understand everything[...]
    I'm sure they are.

    How is an SEI pushy, but an ESE not? They essentially have the most similar psychological make-ups besides duals.

    They are docile subordinates, though not over-compliant retards, like EIE's or IEI's. (That's why I think Beta ST's are stupid)

    Because ESE's value -, not + like EIE's. Basically ESE's are truth-oriented, and EIE's believe to facts and concepts that appear authentic more "blindly"

    Well, obviously, we don't have the same concept of domination and subordination.

    Let's make some caricature : Beta ST's expect total submission from Beta NF's, whereas Alpha NT's expect light, cheerful docility from Alpha SF's.

    I was being a little factitious when I wrote that, so don't take it too seriously.

    I haven't really figured out exactly what they need. If I did, I might be more confident in dealing with them. Although, dealing with them over time I've developed certain abilities, so they seem to at least hear me now and like me a little better. I've learned to be louder when I need to be and how to laugh and smile and express more. Communication has gotten better over time.
    Oh, to find you in dreams - mixing prior, analog, and never-beens... facts slip and turn and change with little lucidity. except the strong, permeating reality of emotion.

    maybe you're more sensitive to "pressure" since your PoLR is Se?
    That could be.

    Probably not. But, that was kind of my original point - INFps are built to be ESTps' complimentary type, meaning if they have their dual, I have (theoretically) less pressure to fill that role.
