Makes sense?
I think any type is capable of being hurtful as you are describing.
Something to keep in mind, socionics isn't for explaining behaviors really. It's more for how information is processed....which CAN sort of lead to certain trends sometimes..but these trends don't apply to everyone. I certainly don't believe every LSE is a sadist as you are describing.
