Nah Se-types are competitive which is different. They are experience junkies, because their base function is all about the most external aspects of reality... if nothing exciting is going on, they have to create something exciting, so they get competitive frequently, and really get engrossed in the moment of it. They are driven by experiences, and usually have a great penchant for recalling stories, but there language in retelling stories is usually filled with concrete down to earth language describing the direct experience in realistic terms. To others this can seem to be competitive, boisterous, and braggart like, but really its them injecting some excitement (Fe-HA) into what they consider a boring environment. If you actually ask an Se-type to compare themselves to others on their skills, usually they will be fairly down to earth about themselves and their abilities. The problem is with Se-types is that they occasionally will go to great ends to create a "smoke screen" of their persona, trying to frame themselves in a purely positive light and forgo any negativity, except around people they trust (which are few), this to them isn't narcissism as much as a survival mechanism-- they describe it as optimism and self-confidence though, and to others it seems like shallow egotism. Generally Se-types especially ESTp tend to type enneagram wise more around the e7 and e8 fix than around the e3 fix.

Remember all ST's have weak Intuition and Feeling, although LSEs value exclusively Fi and Ne, while undervaluing Fe and Ni. So that is to say, LSE's aren't skilled at Fi, they suck at it just as much as a SLE, its just that while SLEs don't value Fi and find it a bother, LSE's seek after it and can't provide it.
