The DS function, being one-dimensional is, supposedly experience based. Therefore, if one's experience is limited or if the person is sheltered it stands to reason that their ability to socialize or integrate best would be hampered.

I met an SEI who worked with special needs individuals. She was very curious about others, was willing to improve using, perhaps, "mysterious" methods and could make connections between disparate things.

I met another SEI who's idea of novelty was joking around, pun usage and the occasional foray into unusual non-fiction documentaries.

These SEI were cool but exemplary of how invested each happened to be in DS function development

My question is this: How has experiencing your DS function made your life better? Conversely, would you say having inexperienced DS made your life trite?
