DV Statistics: Different Shades of Te

I was quite surprised to see a very strong pattern in these women - not only that, but distinct from the male samples. While it may be said that the male unseelie samples are mechanical in their disposition and prefer business, enterprise and entrepreneurship... their female counterparts are not so mechanically inclined. Instead, they're inclined towards biting social commentary, criticisms, sarcastic humor and the like. If I may be as bold to say, they're more "bitchy" (and they call themselves this too) than they are business-minded. That is to say, they have a lot of bones to pick with people and are openly vocal and unapologetic about the issues they see with society, expressing them in an outspoken manner that can at times be blunt and shocking. There is also a strong tilt towards feminism, the empowerment of women, topics of rape/fertility/gender-roles and so forth.

Comedy is an aspect shared with their male counterparts, as they display the same dry wit and snappy comebacks. And despite all the aforementioned gripes they may have, they remain generally thick skinned, laid back and unfazed by most matters. One almost gets the sense that they enjoy ranting. Fran Lebowitz actually admits as much, saying in an interview "This is the best time to be a grouch because there's the most things to complain about, and they don't presently kill you for it or burn you."

I will not pretend to know exactly why the unseelie females differ from unseelie males in this detail, but it is intriguing to me that this observation alignments with the hypothesis of many authors that historically (and perhaps archetypally) the domain of women is the domain of the social circle. And so I can imagine that when women get unseelie they get more critical in the social sphere they occupy, rather than necessarily leaping into the corporate world or becoming more mechanically-minded.

We likewise see a very persistent trend in this shade. Just as with the unseelie female conductors, there's a forthrightness to them, an almost disarming lack of secrecy and willingness to broadcast one's life to the world. Topics touched generally have no bounds, and can include sex, periods, girlfriend/boyfriend issues, work, making money, drinking, life dreams, emotional problems, life disappointments and anything else. When Fi is highly individual it cares little for modesty which is a type of concealment of the authentic self. Being rather filter-less, this humanness is no doubt part of what attracts attention and an audience. But it's also the sort of revelation that off-beat Fi's seem to be more disposed to.

Once again we see, as with the male contrast above, a more social focus to these samples. The unseelie male reviser types are tech enthusiasts, to put it simply, while the unseelie female revisers are frank/transparent windows into all trivial and non-trivial things life-related. But unlike the conductors who are pushing a kind of social agenda or keenly criticizing some aspect of systemic oppression, these women are merely expressing themselves as evolving and dynamic entities --lost to some degree in life, and documenting their confusing journey to some eventual or perpetual contentment.
