I know this is a really old post and I'm new-ish... but this caught my attention and I finally decided to jump in, because several comments in this thread encapsulate my experience with Fi-Polr, Ti and Te.
Fi-Polr
Person A: I hate it when you say things like you weren't smart at the time and have grown up and made a better decision... It's insulting to other people making the same decisions you made when you weren't smart, implying they're stupid.
Me: I'm speaking for me and me alone. Stop personalizing and applying my experience to yourself or other people. I never once said they, them, we, us, or you. Now here's a statement you can take personally: You're a terrible listener. Do you see the difference?
Ti-valuing vs. Te-valuing:
Person A: I don't have right things, I have reasons (comment made during a podcast).
Me: Screw your reasons, if they aren't right (immediate thought in my head).
Te-valuing: @
redbaron - Listening to someone's "music" instead of their words makes no sense to me.
I MUCH prefer the clear communication style of Te. I don't know about other IEEs but I'm a walking encyclopedia, but I don't understand half of it. Knowing and understanding are 2 different things. Te doesn't just know, it understands and explains in perfect form. This IEE doesn't want or need any fluff, in fact, if you present information to me with fluff I'm automatically suspicious of it. I feel it's unnecessary and manipulative. Others can think the SLI business like approach in conversation is uncomfortable, but my antennae immediately goes up and I'm all ears. I don't want just another opinion based on a personal and biased set of rules... aka "reasons." Screw reasons. I want THE rules and no type does a better job of providing them than an SLI, imo.
