    Default Questions for Lead Functions

    Could somebody give me examples of questions that a person with a certain lead function would be most comfortable answering?
    For example, a Ti lead would be more comfortable answering "how do you systematically approach getting dressed in the morning?" than an Fi valuer?
    Things like that.

    Here are more examples.
    Fe - what is the most exciting thing to do on a weekend?
    Si - what is the best way to relax?
    Fi - Is such-and-such an ethical practice?

    Etc.

    I would love for some of you to add to (or correct) this list.
    Thank you in advance

    i'd have a hard time even taking that question seriously.

    Okay that's great... I didn't mean the question seriously. It was an example so that others would know what I was looking for, because I didn't phrase my... prompt(?) very coherently.

    I and other Ti leading types seem to enjoy critiquing movies and things like that.

    Yes, of course they do. What I mean is what lead function is the BEST at answering WHAT kinds of questions. on the socionics.us blog there is a post about certain people who are very good at communicating in a way that "streams" information, and when they do so it creates a hypnotic kind of effect.
    http://socionics.us/blog/9_06.shtml

    what I want to know is what kinds of questions would launch that stream for each different of the 16 types (or 8 lead functions).
    Any type can answer any question. But which would be the most comfortable and be able to talk the longest about which kinds of questions? That is my question.

    If you haven't seen this yet start here:

    http://socionics.us/works/semantics.shtml

    As you progress through threads on this site take note of longer posts and their writer's type. Since I don't think any IEs operate individually it's better to think of them at least in blocked pairs.

    Two Ni-Te examples from me:

    Rick made a list of such questions. Here are some modified versions/ my own questions. A lot of them only work in person / certain situations.

    Te: Is this place being run efficiently? How could it be run more efficiently?
    Ti: Name one common misconception people (or one person) have about socionics and explain why it is wrong.
    Fi: Tell me about your relationship with ___.
    Fe: How is ___ feeling right now? How can you tell?
    Si: How are you enjoying this food? How could it be improved? [needs work]
    Se: What are people trying to get out of this meeting? What is its impact?
    Ni: Does this setting remind you of something from your past? Explain.
    Ne: Name something that you could never imagine ____ doing.

    Awesome. I filled in the particulars with hypothetical scenarios and asked myself those questions, and found I could easily answer the ones related to my strong functions, but found the ones related to my weak functions very difficult. I was completely stumped by the Se one -- I wouldn't even know how to begin answering that.

    For the Si one: how about "How does this food taste? How could it be improved?"

    Actually, I'd say excitement is directly correlated with Fe. There are types of emotion (happiness, sadness, anger), and then there is intensity of emotion (passionate, apathetic). I would classify "excitement" as "positive intensity of emotion", which is clearly related to Fe (internal dynamics of objects). IEE, with Demonstrative Fe, would obviously be very capable of generating and maintaining excitement.

    I'm almost tempted to ask if this list was made by Ni-PoLR.

    i think that this is something a Fi leading would mostly tend to think about instead of actually asking an other person.however,maybe he/she would do it to kind of "classify" the interlocutοr.

    .
    again,i personally tend to try to figure out the relationship between two persons by observing instead of actually asking.but even if i ask,i'll try to make the questions as indirect as possible and i most likely won't ask the objects of observation. Besides,people can lie for their own reasons or they might not even be aware of their own feelings.It's like a connect-the-dots game.
