Alright so I was looking through some talanov stuff to find stuff about Si and i ended up looking at the properties most linked to SEI more than any other type and the top 3 are "Overweight, High vascular reactivity in response to excitement (turns pale or reddens), and dislikes rock music." Now of course I'd like to note that over half of russians are overweight anyway, so I'm genuinely baffled how in the world overweightness is the single most SEI characteristic, but it is hilarious. "SEI's are 6.14 times more likely to be overweight than the average population" is now a thing I can say. Old data, still weird it was the most common trait though.
Uhh, either way, Si stuff.
Since this is specifically about SEI seemingly, i'll post a list of things that distinguish IEI and SEI(This is more recent data btw, unlike the thing i talked about in the first paragraph)
This first list is things that are more common for SEI's:
1. I like to read and study the history and almost perfect "on the machine" know what took place in different parts of the planet at the same time intervals a hundred or two hundred years ago. 2. I very toughly and confidently defend my position in front of people of greater power and status.
3. Compared to other people of my gender, I have a more "bass" voice (5 or 4 - if so, 3 - if without features, 1 or 2 - if, on the contrary, a thinner voice)
4. I just communicate with people - they are almost always seem to me pretty, and I do not feel any fears or barriers.
5. Historical events are always well interconnected in my head - their simultaneity with other events of this period in other parts of the planet, analogies with other periods, as well as their causal relationship with each other.
6. I keep my word, even if it is not profitable for me.
7. The present is more or less clear to me, but the future is incomprehensible and therefore of little interest.
8. I am concerned about my health.
9. When someone does something disgusting towards people even I don't know, I almost always intervene, because I can’t otherwise.
10. Throughout a long conversation, I perfectly remember all its turning points and details, all the main phrases of the interlocutor.
11. Compared to many other people, the pupils in my eyes are usually small and narrow, like dots.
12. I have always been interested in the laws of development of society, civilization.
13. Sometimes I "annoy" others with my tutelage.
14. There are often days (there are about half of them or more) when I often think about the common or someone else's good than about my own.
15. I eat no more than others, but I am a gourmet, and in the search and selection of especially delicious food I am very selective and selective.
16. I believe in the need to serve the community

18. I like philosophy and science
19. At school, I showed an ability to draw with almost photographic accuracy.
20. My lifestyle has a lot of pleasant physical activity and a lot of physical activity.
21. For my stories, an eventful sequence and continuity is characteristic - it is not usual for me to mix episodes from different moments of time in my story, putting them in the neighborhood on some non-temporal basis.
22. Try the following tasks (perform as you read each task): first, go back and forth with your tongue along the inner surface of the lower teeth; then along the inner surface of the upper teeth; then lick the outer, outer surface of the upper teeth with your tongue; then the outer outer surface of the lower teeth; then, with the tip of your tongue, lick the right corner of your mouth from the outside; then the left corner of the mouth; then lick your upper lip from left to right; then inflate one right cheek; then only one left; then click your tongue; then whistle through your lips; then depict how the liquid is sipped through a straw and how a match is blown out. If all the tasks, without exception, were given absolutely easily, without mistakes and without difficulty, put yourself "5", if you managed to do everything, but there was some particular difficulty, put "4". If there were difficulties or mistakes in two or three tasks, put "3", if in four or five tasks, put "2". If difficulties or errors occurred in six or more tasks, put "1".
23. Always think in advance about the possible consequences of their actions.
24. What is more likely to arouse your interest and concern if you can choose your field of work in government? - 1) Sports victories of the country. 5) The health of a mass of people
25. Quite often I discuss my own or someone else's well-being, pleasant or unpleasant sensations, I wonder what hurts where - in general, for me these are normal topics of conversation.
And this second one more common for IEI's:
1. Do you have visual images in your head during the day? 1) No, even if you close your eyes and really, really try to see at least something. 2) Yes, but vague, gray and unstable, and only with great concentration 3) I can mentally see something with my eyes closed, even integral and colorful, but I cannot hold the image and control the images 4) Closing my eyes, I easily call "by ordering "bright colored images of any object or person 5) I can evoke and see an imaginary visual image, bright and colored, not only with my eyes closed, but even with my eyes open - against the background of the environment
2. I am emotionally" uneven "and not very stable.
3. I know how to persistently beg - I know how to seize the best moment when you can approach a person with a request.
4. In comparison with peers of my gender, I have a "thinner", higher voice ("5" if so; "1" if vice versa; "3" if exactly at the middle level).
5. Sometimes it seems to me that behind my back people are laughing at me.
6. In a dream, without waking up, I sometimes start to say something out loud.
7. I have frequent mood swings.
8. Quite often I am not restrained, I show anger or aggression.
9. I often have all sorts of fears or panic states.
10. I usually miss it when people around me talk about politics or science.
11. I am a person with kind, although sometimes sad humor, soft and pleasant in communication.
12. I know that I am smart, but I usually find it difficult to show it to others.
13. I am not interested in theoretical discussions.
14. I have some obsessive fears or sometimes obsessive and ridiculous "forbidden desires" arise - although, of course, I do not succumb to them (such as to rip the stop crane in the car or do something else ridiculous and forbidden)
15. If a person wants to hear some pleasant lie about himself, then I am ready to tell it without any problems.
16. I drink little and rarely, my body does not need a lot of water.
17. Perhaps I sometimes devote too much time to "mental chewing", too often weighing, thinking and evaluating, reasoning around the bush, instead of just doing and moving on.
18. It is true that which is profitable at the moment.
19. I am able to find joy even in insignificant and ordinary events.
20. I am an esthete in the choice of food.
21. I can inspire myself not to see some person or some thing - and I really won't see them for some time, even if I look directly at them.
22. Sometimes the voices sounding in the head become uncontrollable and annoying.
23. I love power, pressure and strength in people.
24. If a person has trusted you, then he is at your complete disposal.
25. I have nothing to do with the names and life stories of those who ruled the country in the last century.
These results are also a bit weird, but still give a pretty clear distinguish between Ni and Si in some clear ways. Also between Ne and Se suggestive as well.
Finally, for what's probably the most relevant data, we have a 2016 paper done by talanov about specifically what defines Si.
http://sociotoday.narod.ru/funkc_ws.html
here's a link for people whose lives are so devoid of anything, they feel it would be a good use of their time to read paragraph upon paragraphs of(mostly) scientific giberish.
I'm not gonna pretend I read all of this or even know what the purpose of this is, I'm just gonna copy paste some statements that seem relevant.
Things are put on a scale of 1-15 to how defining it is for Si, 1 being the most important and 15 being the least
(Note, since this is google translated there are some very WACKY wordings of things. Just assume if it's whatever option makes the most sense. This is also russian culture we're talking here, so keep that in mind)
"
1.

likes to tinker with plants

sensitivity of smell (to odors that are not associated with the individual smell of people)
weakness and underdevelopment of social and altruistic interests, political apathy (correlated with the scale of the desire for pleasure)

Alright I'm only going through 1-3 you can read it all if you want I gave you people the link.
Conclusion: SEI's are probably fat.
