well I disagree with that. It's functioning resembles the creative. It is weak, but it is not as nonexistent as some people want to believe. It can actually be spontaneous and "creative" and that is a problem because in a social setting everybody can see that you are not so good at it.
I have observed this alot in myself, but also in ESIs when using Ne, or in LIEs when using Si etc. It's too unreflected, unadapted and weak.
But the labelling "second creative" I actually got from some Russian site. It's some kind of socionics saying.
The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.
(Jung on Si)
There used to be really good information on the PoLR at en.socionics.ru but I think the site has disappeared. I read it several years ago.
I remember they said something like the PoLR is the tipping point between action and in-action, and that there is this conflict between on one hand producing information and on the other hand being too weak.

It makes sense if you think about how the PoLR is supposed to be repressed due to the activity of the creative. According to Jung, the absence of usage of creative means there is room for PoLR to be used.
I would agree with Tallmo since people can easily be mistaken for their Kindred type, and many times people don’t notice people’s everyday mistakes with PoLR if they aren’t been looked for, due to the ability to cover it up with HA usage.
