A visual example of Si, Se, Ne and Ni

[Petter]

OP is incorrect. Si is more fine detail-oriented sensorically than Se; although it does passively take in wholes too, this is more associated with extroverted external sensoric perception in Socionics. Jung is dead, Socionics is alive.

SLI is much more focused on fine details than SLE. But is that because Si and Se perceive details differently, or because SLI's Si is a Mental function and SLE's Si is a Vital function? I think the latter is accurate. It is not as if the Vital functions are inactive and detached from the Mental functions. Instead, they must complement each other. But I don't see how Socionics Se ("force") complements Socionics Si.

Socionics

Se: strength, power, will, effect, desires, tactics, appearance, weight, form, colour, beauty, territory, realization, to defend, to reach

Si: comfort, coziness, health, delight, quality, practice, state of health, harmony, “here and now”, aesthetics, convenience, pleasant, nuances

False dichotomy

False dichotomy

But are Socionics information elements really dichotomous? Is "Time" (Ni) the complete opposite of "Force" (Se)?
