Some possible examples of Se vs Si

spoilered because these are personal examples and so dependent on types being correct. As I mention in the following examples, other factors may also apply.

I've known delta STs who were stunt pilots and racecar drivers. They always seemed to be very very safety conscious, very concerned about people doing things "the right way" (correct procedure = Te.) Maybe it was some sp influence in there too, but one would lecture people up and down on how racing was only to be done on a track and with regulation safety equipment. Overall they tended to have the mindset that everyone can have fun if they do things right. For me it was different, it was always just "I want to see what I can make this machine do" and I had the tendency to push the limits of everything, which might be sx influenced as well. But, I just wanted to test what I could do. I never asked them if they were into feeling the sensations or whatever as that'd just be a weird thing to ask and I never even thought of it, so idk the answer to that. All I know is what I observed.

With sports too, one delta ST friend also had a different approach than me. There, like with the machines, I wanted to see what my body could do, and I never backed down from even the hardest schedule, or in track from running events back to back and taking on the maximum amount I could. He had, well, more respect for the limits of his body, its need for recuperation and so on. Again, was some of this sp related on his part? Maybe.

Rockclimbing with some friends once, one of my friends (a fellow LSI) and I were the only ones who had to push to the very top and wouldn't stop until we were there. Everyone else stopped and had a picnic lol and waited for us. Most were NF, but one delta ST said she would have gone with us to the top. If we had waited until after lunch heh. We just skipped it because getting to the top was way more important than eating.

I've seen Si-ignoring people continue a sport or race or job with serious injuries, even broken bones before as well without stopping. And these weren't extreme circumstances or survival situations or even major competitions where anyone would push through either. I have not seen this in anyone else to the same level. But I would think that an sp-first person, who was Si-ignoring might be less inclined to push as hard or continue with serious injuries as these folks did who were probably sp-last.
