Socionics Se is about grasping qualia. That's it! I don't even consider socionics to be a true personality typology....and need not be treated like one. Cognitive functions don't have any foundation in distortions, world views, deeper drives, or the like. They're just blocks. My feet provide me with a function. I can walk on 'em. Socionics Se and the other functions are sorta like the cognitive feet. They try to get at ways people walk through reality/world...competently (and some blindspots). Courtney Love grasps something about Kathleen hanna's face and punches her in it....madonna grasps the same thing and then befriends her. One is no less Se than the other. They process the same information but then covert it differently, at a more core level. As a matter of fact....the easiest way to distinguish between socionics and enneagram is to compare courtney love (8w7 sx/so SLE-Se) with Madonna (3w4 sx/so SLE-Se). The ways they are similar pertain to socionics/stacking. Ways different pertain to enneagram....roughly. listen close and you can hear they're on a similar wavelength cognitively. But you don't have to look hard to see they have a completely different kinesthetic. here's a hint: Love is neither drunk nor high in this clip
