@
Aramas I'll try to answer your questions from my own pov. However let me say right off the bat
is about profit (financial or other) so there is no "work for it's own sake".
No, like I said Te is about profit. If it seems to me there is nothing to be gained from it I won't even bother.
I certainly don't. The goal doesn't have to be something very big or very long term - it can be mowing the lawn - but in this case the point isn't to mow the lawn for it's own sake.
I think only Mr. Pheeny from the show Boy Meets World thinks work has inherent moral value, lol.
Not necessarily.
Not necessarily. But being productive and being hardworking are two different things. You can be hardworking without being productive. You can't be productive without being hardworking, or at least, working, so they are connected but not the same. Anyways, I think
ego types are naturally more aware of productivity than others, which doesn't mean that everyone who is productive is
ego, or that every
ego is productive, at least not at all times of their life.
I think it is important to ask too, if there is such misunderstanding of what
is due to descriptions (which are usually written by
ego types). I think @
Bertrand might be right for the most part, though
in terms of how it manifests itself is about profit, imo. Again, not necessarily financial, it's more about like asking "what's in it for me/what am I getting out of this" with respect to every action I undertake. It's not even really calculation, it's like I automatically know what's in it for me and what isn't. It's hard to explain. But yeah,
in terms of the cogntive process can be explained in terms of valuing logic which is more objective (concerned with facts rather than logic for it's own sake), but in terms of how it is experienced, for me, is more like an awareness of "what's in it for me" and if the answer is "nothing" then my answer is "why do it"? Keep in mind this is about work and actions undertaken, not about people, relations with people just kinda happen and there not everything is explainable through logic, though I tend to take on the same attitude of what's in it for me which is why I don't waste my time on fruitless relationships where I'm always fighting with the other person.
See above; it's about "profit".
I can only answer for myself. Individual type differences will play a role, but not in so much as the four
ego types all value
(since this is what they have in common, differnces will be between irrational functions valued and strengths).
Probably SLI.
While I'm fairly confident
is about profit and "what am I getting out of this", and this is true for all
types, I can't answer for others. Not sure the descriptions need change. Maybe some of them do, idk.
I would also like to point out that I am against using people to get something out of them. While it is fairly pointless to continue relations that damage you, I don't build relations on the basis of using the other person towards some end. I think this is where
actually complements
