Social Interaction
Select Small Group
Group Description
Typical worldview: "One must actively fight for their place in the sun, or someone else will take it." The original evolutionary role of dominant Se is to forcefully break through others' boundaries to seize their resources. When cultured, dominant Se resorts less to direct violence, replacing it with coercion through artificially created circumstances or ethical manipulation (i.e., cooperating with logic or ethics). However, the specter of violence remains, and any authority, losing its legitimacy, reverts to its basic trait—controlling others through the fear of physical harm to their bodies and property. The role of vulnerable Si here is the drive to leave one's comfort zone, avoiding relaxation and not trading long-term goals for immediate pleasures.
Interest in conflict situations and interpersonal competition, expanding one's interests by stirring up contradictions in the surrounding world. Quick-tempered. Aggressive manner of speech and love for public speaking. Tendency to boast.
