Above writers, anyone can be ignorant and knock what they haven't tired.
Anyone can ask St. Anthony for his help finding things, and If you mean it sincerely when you ask, he helps fast. The first time I asked, many years ago, I had a strong prejudice against "praying to dead people" but I was desperate enough to give it a try since my roommate swore by it, and it did seem to work for her. It so swiftly worked the first time I now rarely forget to ask for help anymore, and I have almost no anxiety about losing things because of all the countless times I have had help. And I am a "P" and lose things.
DJ I think your forgetfulness you mention could be either that you are a "P" or that you are an "N". Or both of course.
DJ, I just wanted to add some more about ESTPs [SLEs] since you are considering that type and I have that type in my life and have been getting to know it a lot lately. The inlaw ESTP is definately willling to be dishonest if it works for him; he will tell you what you want to hear; it does not have to be true, and this works well for him in sales - he has always been the most successful sales person whereever he works, though, he has been called on dishonesty. That dishonestly sometimes attributed to SLE, not so much with the other two. None of the three are into extreme sports, but all three are athletic and into a sport, past or present. My son has wrestled for years now putting a lot of hard work into it but like the other two SLEs, I do not see any of them as risk takers like you would in extreme sports. But all three are active types. My son keeps me active as he always needs to be doing something.
All three are prolific producers. One is sales, one as an artist, and my son, in high school, is pretty prolific in schoolwork, sports and responsibilities. Though he, like the other two, can be lazy at times. The three share a certain clear stubborn independent streak, wanting to do things their way in their time.
All three can be so blunt, and can hurt feelings. Its the T in them. DJ I think you are no F that is for sure. All three can be pretty set it their opinion and there is no telling them otherwise because they know. All three have a need to give a good apology now and again and know how. My son is the best of the three at this. I feel its the best thing I taught my son since a very young age - an apology is three parts, "What I did, why its wrong, and how I am not doing it again". He learned that as he was just learning talking! And it serves him well now - when he sees the shocked look of offense on someones face after he has spoken, for example, me or his girlfreind, and he wants to smooth it over fast, out it comes, and its disarming. (I think he has kept it up because he can see how efficient it is!).
Like another poster here said, demanding apologies doesn't work. Best to just apologize for your part, and if the person is too small to apoliogize, thats their very sad problem. And it will be a big stumbling block in their life.
I have noticed more rude people here than on any other site I have been on. So I don't write as often as I might, especially considering that Socionics is a very big interest of mine and its had a huge impact on my life in this past year. But I find the rudeness is due to a kind of bored/boring immaturity rather than type, and it can be ignored.
