    As an information element I can see how one might precieve Te as clinical and robotiness. However, as part of a living psyche, as part of a persons personality and make up, I fail to see how one Information element alone can make someone a robot. The personality, according to the theories (model a), is multifaceted and complex.

    In other words, when you meet someone who is Te base what you might be preciecing about them is that they are clinical and cold, you are only get a tiny bit of the picture, a tip of the iceberg as it were. We have an ego, super-ego, I'd and super -I d: two different voices, and two different instincts all put together to form a cohesive whole, or personality type. This was the remarkable conclusions Jung hypothosized and modern psychology has since supported: the human personality is not one solid block inside our heads, but an intertracting interplay between the ego, super-ego, I'd and superid, as well as other factors like the body-mind connections and memories (which themselves are inseperable from emotions and physical sensations). All this means that an individuals personality is made up of little bits and pieces, and the mind gives us the illusion that it is one thing, one type.

    In the original post, what I am reading is that Te-doms are cold and clinical, and I disagree with this statement. Because Te-doms also have other parts to their pshyches that cause them to precieve other information elements that can be considered less clinical, such as Fi, very favorably.

    I think I also have a problem with the word clinical. Clinical suggests sterile and soley logical. Perhaps true for the information element alone if you are looking for adjectives soley to describe it, but in real people, I have never found to be true that Te-doms are robotic. At least not from how I precieve them. Infact, I simply see them as practical and pragmatic, no matter what "class", or lifestyle they have.

    Robots have no sole. The Te-doms got sole that is all covered up. On second thought, maybe they are robots...
