I know, I know, all the books say that's what ESI's do. They are Fi-doms, right? I just have a hard time believing that someone could really, actually be that way. It's like someone tells you that some people can read minds. Right, buddy.

I've known several male ESI's for many years, and while I get along with them easily and have interacted with them on hundreds if not thousands of occasions, I just never thought that they were MAKING DECISIONS BASED ON HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THINGS, FOR GOD'S SAKE.

But in the past couple of years, I've been observing female ESI's very, very closely. And it fits. They actually are basing decisions on how they feel about me. And they aren't doing long range planning. It's just here-in-the-moment, how-do-I-feel-right-now stuff.
Yah it took me years too to truly understand the original definition of Feeling (before moving on to better frameworks)



As for how an LIE and an LSE Kindred get along, I work with an LSE and he's smart, reliable, and after I got past my associated feelings about my LSE mother, I have to say that when he and I are talking business and engineering, we absolutely click. It is like talking to myself, only he has a slightly different agenda. I'm all about covering all the future bases, and he's all about building something that works not great but adequately and reliably for the customer. We totally understand what the other person is saying. We don't ever talk about feelings, because we don't exactly have any, and I think we both know that.
You both do have feelings just in part controlled by rationality and in part suppressed (by the same rationality). And in both cases they play a part in decision-making.

But I guess you were joking anyway
