I was wondering is "thinking on your feet" type related? If so how?
I was wondering is "thinking on your feet" type related? If so how?
Define "thinking on your feet"? If you mean "acting quickly and appropriately on brand new information/a spontaneous situation," I'm pretty sure that's entirely related to Se. Then one can analyze every type's relationship to "thinking on your feet" through each type's relationship to Se in Model A. Other IEs might involve thinking quickly about various things (e.g, Ti is incredible at spotting internal inconsistencies; Fi immediately knows someone's true feelings about them), but to not only think/understand quickly, but also act quickly, I think you have to be using Se. Se is the IE of action.
Yeah, that's what I meant but I would have used "responding" instead of "acting", because I think "acting" is about physical response while "responding" is more general and be used to mean someone who can think of a counter argument quickly.
personally, I noticed Se & Ne are both good at thinking quickly on their feet, when there is an emergency and everyone is panicking or doesn't know what to do Se users seems in the zone and take charge
while Ne users are quick with ideas/arguments/witty remarks
Yeah I would say it's a mix of Ne, Se, and maybe also Te. It depends on what you mean exactly.
Ne quick thinking involves elaborating on / spinning off objects of discussion while Se quick thinking is more about responding to how the present situation is changing.

One time me and this SEE couldn't get into a club because we were dressed like bums. My mind froze. Him:
"Lets see if we can pay the bouncer under the table."
"Lets befriend these dudes and see if they can get us in."
"Lets grab one of these chicks out here and maybe they'll let us in if we have girls on our arms."

I was linked to a thread yesterday (different site) about IEI needing butlers... If self typed IEI believe they are getting a butler aka caregiver in an SLE they are probably in for a rude awakening. Not saying they are not willing to help but SLE aren't going to be doormats who will provide for your every need so you can lie in bed and write fantasy novels. They can be caring though and pull more than their share if they know you are doing you part.
SLE are just as likely to make you fend for yourself so you don't stagnate in a pool of your own inertia. That is what Se seeking is about, an impetus to act. I believe that Ti HA is slow but other functions can cover for that so Ni types can think on their feet using their creative functions to respond. If I am in a situation where someone is bleeding out in front of me, I might need some assistance from a type that can handle blood emergencies. If I have to talk my way out of a speeding ticket, I usually have that kind of thing handled. Ni is informed by subconscious Se and also role function but in a different way.

I would say talking your way out of a speeding ticket would be the use of Fe even if Ni or Se may contribute, in the end it is Fe. what do you think
btw, how many times did you get a speeding ticket? you talked like an expert, so maybe it becomes a routine thing for you not quick thinking
back to the topic can we say extroverted functions (Se, Ne, Te, Fe) are quicker ?

it's what i'm bad at
It's kind of all-or-nothing for me with this. Either I totally avoid situations and places I'm unfamiliar with or I plunge myself straight into the chaos with no provisions and focus all my attention towards maneuvering and adapting the best I can. I find all the in-between stuff to be very tedious and uninteresting. For example I never studied in school ever because I found it too boring and intrusive towards my home activites so I instead focused all energy on absorbing as much information as possible from classtime teaching to compensate.
From best to worst at thinking on your feet IMO: ExxP > ExxJ > IxxP > IxxJ

It depends on what you mean by that. Irrationals are more flexible, and dynamic types handle chaos better. Se is really talented in making actions in the moment that make their world malleable. Aristocratic irrationals have the highest stress resistance. The original question is too broadly asked.
Projection is ordinary. Person A projects at person B, hoping tovalidate something about person A by the response of person B. However, person B, not wanting to be an obejct of someone elses ego and guarding against existential terror constructs a personality which protects his ego and maintain a certain sense of a robust and real self that is different and separate from person A. Sadly, this robust and real self, cut off by defenses of character from the rest of the world, is quite vulnerable and fragile given that it is imaginary and propped up through external feed back. Person B is dimly aware of this and defends against it all the more, even desperately projecting his anxieties back onto person A, with the hope of shoring up his ego with salubrious validation. All of this happens without A or B acknowledging it, of course. Because to face up to it consciously is shocking, in that this is all anybody is doing or can do and it seems absurd when you realize how pathetic it is.
I'm none of those things. I'm a static rational type with Se PoLR. I hate chaotic situations and when too many things are going on at once, I tend to panic. I don't like situations where I must think quickly on my feet. I like to take my time, uninterrupted, most preferably. However, I can think on my feet when I must, with varying degrees of success. I use my Ne creative to compensate.

i htink that only people with no feeet do no think on them
