@Delilah When ESIs find themselves under pressure to do something (unpleasant?), they can become rash when their inner LIEs emerge and they go into conquest mode; they can get quite self-righteous and if they win, feel very smug about their accomplishments - as if it's surprising to themselves. However, when in this mode, they're usually confident of a win. Sure one can dive in without first checking for rocks and gain the edge but every tactic has inherent disadvantages - caution may save the day or cause lost opportunity. Si-types usually stay inside their comfort zones whereas ESIs often find themselves outside.....

That's great, thanks for the summary. Do you think this applies to other Fi types, say IEEs? What about EIIs?
