    What effect does pressure have on SLIs?

    Depends on them. I've seen SLI who rise above it and build internal self control and choose to be stronger to overcome and I've seen SLI who cave and go to drugs.

The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

    Yeah, usually SLIs are pretty good at ignoring pressure. However if you press them hard enough they will complain. When strong negative emotions like anger are directed towards them, they seem to find it disorienting/bewildering.

    common for introverts: passive protection, making distance more
    if too much pressure - super-ego becomes ignored, - SLI lesser care about consequences (Ni), for example.

    Yes, SLIs I know seem to first of all withdraw into their mental cave and obsess over the task at hand and (at least the ones I have known) dedicate all energy to fixing it. What happens to their Fe under pressure?

    Are you talking about in-the-moment emotional pressure or long-term pressure like a deadline? In my experience SLIs are basically impervious to the latter.

    I mean temporary pressure (being behind on a project, for example).

    Yeah like I said they seem impervious to any impersonal work-related pressure (not necessarily long-term). Whether they can end up doing it in time varies widely. It only seems to affect them emotionally when they actually start working on whatever it is, they might complain about how annoying it is, or they might not.

    Then your experience is against typology theory as P types hold long-term load worse. Anyway, the result is similar. Long-term just has more chance to drain and to add general stress issues like fatiguability, depression, anxiety, supressed attention, etc.
