Socionics For Dummies

[Bertrand]

I also think olimpia's understanding of +/- Ti is off. +Ti is the logic of the affirmative structure, it wants to box people in. -Ti is fractal structure, allowing for disconnected self contained units. +Ti is generally trying to force everything into a universal structure. it doesn't handle contradiction well. -Ti looks at things as polysemous and multi layered. +Ti generally flattens things (layers create literal ambiguity), especially when combined with Se. This is why LSI and IEE miscommunicate and conflict. IEE says something and LSI can take it as a violation of the structure (some form of turning it upside down, negation, and so forth, looking at it from the side, not Se), which is seen as bordering on a manifestation of criminal intent, meanwhile IEE tends to underestimate the ethical integrity of LSI when it makes certain statements. Some statements in the mouth of LSI are progressive when you consider them absolute, but if you project a fractal structure on them they sound asinine or merely authoritarian when they're part of a scheme wherein their "limitations" are actually anti authoritarian in scope

"boxing in" might just be how Fi creative is viewed, in terms of being verbally "judgey" i.e.: conveying one's attitude toward things almost as a weapon
