one of first things i thought of regarding Ijs' value is their role in the socion. in groups, or even in the grand scheme of things, they help bring about stability in the system - as opposed to Ep types, who do the opposite, e.g. some ILE descriptions talk about the element of "chaos" that they bring to their endeavors. DarkAngelFireWolf69 (LII) mentions the instability brought about by Ep types in one of his social progress articles:
Under Marshall's [SLE's] rule do not expect stability ever.If SEE is allowed to manage a system, it will come to anarchy. Absolutely.nothing like that is written about the Ij types.IEE brings elements of absurdism and disorganization.
Ij temperament is also called "balanced-stable" temperament. i guess you could say that Ijs play the stabilizing roles within the system: they're the perfectors (LII), structurists (LSI), guardians (ESI), and edifiers (EII).
