@FreelancePoliceman LIIs don't seem to seek social validation in the need-to-be-liked sense; they tend to look for confirmation that what they are doing is perceived as valuable or correct so I agree with @Adam Strange about them doubling efforts when shown that they haven't done a good job - they hate being wrong almost as much as they hate not having autonomy. I've seen many of them alienating themselves because they think that their perceptions and opinions may not be accepted; however, I doubt that any of them ever thought that people were driving them away - they were simply remaining autonomous and away from potential criticism. More than a few seem to think that they're inches away from being labelled totally incompetent, and that they should be better than they really are........
