it's more like... you can't obsessively focus on Ne without disregarding Se entirely, etc.Originally Posted by Crispy
this reflects something about Creating functions and challenges the commonly held belief that the Base function is the obsessive one. Base still relatively easily "reconciles" with the Role function. Creating is completely antagonistic to PoLR.
but Base is also something offensive and/or invulnerable, because it can supervise the opposite Creating function. Creating is something vulnerable, because it can get supervised. *
i like to associate...
Base = indiscriminate, pragmatic
Creating = discriminate, idealistic
but yeah, i think the most "enlightened" way to think about it is to see the two (Creating and PoLR) as indistinct and interchangeable.
edit:
* although there is an alternative interpretation that i like that says the Creating function might supervise the Base function of the supervisee. i.e. ESTps' Creating Ti supervises INTjs' Base Ti. this is "corrective supervision" as opposed to the regular "bull-in-a-china-store supervision". so the Creating Ti function can be said to reach a more refined answer capable of fixing errors in the indiscriminate result of the Base Ti function.
