IEE it is then.. for me.As a Ti dominant, the most apparent difference to myself is EXFp's reluctance/inability to "trade" mental schemas during conversation. When I'm speaking to Ti ego's there is a sort of back and forth: We start with a sort of schematic, or conceptualization of the subject matter. During interaction, both parties will attempt to modify/tweak/break/grow the other's schema (depending on the mood of situation). The parties will alternate between blocking the other's additions/modifications and allowing the other's ideas through. A good ending is where both parties establish a new schema that they now share. A bit of Fe during, lubricates the trading, so that neither party gets too stubborn/serious/defensive (remembering the "real world" is a stake, and that we do all share the same schema of being alive and human).
Ti polr's do not experience these schemas internally (in the form of mental imagery or "clicking into place" sensations), and therefore can not relate to or understand the metaphors which Ti ego's use to convey information and "show" (cast into the mind of the other) their point. It's not that they cannot think logically or do not have mental imagery. It is that they do not comprehend logic via mental imagery (or other psychic/archetypal content) to the crisp and persuasive extent that Ti ego's do. Beta ST's might not describe Ti as mental imagery, instead it would be more somatic, in the form of "complete" sensations, "getting into the groove," and "undeniable" ways of explaining a situation.
