Se and Si users: how are you tidy even when you are untidy?
You guys seem to know what looks good so you look tidy even when messy. My SLI sister's room was a systematic mess. ESIs NEVER look untidy, always neat and nice, if there is somd untidiness there is something bad going on.
LSEs always look profrssional and neat. ESEs care too much about which color fits what other color in clothes.
And then there is me. Same clothes all the time. Though I never smell bad, I don't know how to S

The question is a bit oddly phrased but I will try to answer but before I get to that I want to mention that everyone uses both Si and Se. I know in Myers-Briggs circles, people will speak of Si users and Se users but that terminology isn't really used in socionics. I think what you might have meant is Si valued vs. Se valued.
I am LII and an Si valuer. I also consider myself to be a tidy person for various reasons.
1. Sanitary reasons. I don't want to live in a pigsty.
2. Aesthetic reasons. I just like the way a tidy place looks.
3. Practical reasons. I like to be able to quickly find whatever it is I need.
Am I perfectly tidy all the time? No. When my place is 'untidy' it looks messy, disorganized. There might be some dirty dishes in the sink, the papers are not all filed away in order, the clothes might be on the floor or draped over a chair instead of hung up in the closet. There is some dust on the shelves. But this is just normal. I don't like a messy place beyond just a little bit normal mess or clutter. It's not exactly to the point of unsanitary or not being able to find things. It doesn't look as nice though.
My parents are both really messy and their house is quite untidy too even rather dirty and gross. I vowed not to become like them and I have succeeded.
Perhaps my need for tidiness comes from Si mobilizing? Or my Ti wants to put things in order according to some rules?

No. When I cleaned my room it was still messier than when my ESE mom cleaned it. I have seen messy moms also
They overall spend more time in their life on those tasks, that's what I meant. Not sure if it's true but that's my hypothesis.
