I can't remember if there's been one of these before, and my initial search didn't turn up anything. So I'm creating a new one.
Anecdote:
I've been working on some designs. Most people, when I show it to them for feedback, say something like, "Oh, that looks nice!" Which is... flattering, yes, I guess -- but not really what I want. I want to make the designs better, not buid my ego.
I showed it to an ISTp and right away she started off with, "Can this part get squished up higher?" Then when I pointed her toward a general design element I was unsure of she gave a useful opinion on that, too. She warmed up to it then and gave a few more suggestions. Which is what I wanted.
So, yay for ISTps, who are fine with giving critical but useful feedback and don't worry about stopping to think about common flattery.![]()

common sense about everything. Te-creative isn't too big of a problem for me, even though I don't notice it much. I have to kind of play along by laughing at what he finds dumb, or when he poses a curious question to me about something overly-simple, I tend to go off on some unrelated silly
expression just because I don't know what else to do. It's like he wants me to see something for exactly what it is, and teach me in the ways of material appreciation. He likes to teach me about what he's been doing, or about some thing or place he's been to, that experiential sophistication of 
u SLIs. 
! I suspect this also reflects Fi-HA, as they are somewhat unselective about it and they want to be friends with people.
