With this particular thread I want to not only put down my thoughts but to explain what (Se/Ni) (Fi/Te) are to me, I've not been 'officially typed', but I'm pretty confident I at least use Se/Ni Te/Fi, just not sure of the order. Please feel free to share thoughts, opinions, questions, images, music.. anything if it will contribute to mutual learning, because that makes me happy.
I've been told this was my type by the readers here for a few weeks, and it took that long for me to digest the shock of not being so solid on what I thought I did use. My first reaction, "Nope, wrong, total bullshit." I had such a strong reaction, and that was confusing to me. In the end it was because of the stereotypes associated with Se and Fi.. I thought of Se as foreign to me not really there, in the background.. as I can't juggle and apparently, that's a requirement. Fi was something I never thought I identified with either.. that comes from all the Fi/Fe hate all over different forums... I was honestly zealous on what I thought I was, my ideal, but I didn't stop for a moment to look at Possibility. I realized my flaw and began to focus on having an open mind about it all, which took some time for me.
I made it a point to be more mindful of my Se/Ni and to pay attention to things in my day. Not only did I notice that I do utilize Se and Fi, but I realized they're not as bad as I thought.. which is a good thing because rejecting a part of you is never the best idea. That can be the craziest thing about having your type be so different than you thought.. It seems like such a little thing, "it shouldn't matter, I'm still me, right?" But it does, and it did. But, it's the doubt and that doubt made me realize that I was prejudiced against certain functions (which is beyond ridiculous and is even embarrassing to write), so I owned up to my lack of insight and started to notice instead, that noticing has become appreciation for how I view my world, which I find fascinating. Here are some thoughts on what it's like for me to be SeFi
(Se/Ni)(FiTe) - Creative Problem Solving
Taking in what is happening in real time and being able to intuitively integrate the real and actual essence of the moment. In conjunction with Fi/Te, filtering what is 'right' on an internal value system, which will be personal to the individual.Then presenting that gathered information and executing change, in essence Se/Ni is noticing and refining processes and perspectives. Se/Ni is good at creating new systems using existing data and allowing the new (and ever changing environment) to also refine the issues at hand. Fi/Te allows the follow through to create, assign value, and implement. SeFi in general would be apt to push back on systems that are using existing data and noticing the different perspectives of the collective parties involved, not just people.. but data, outside influences, others perceptions/perspectives, and small seemingly insignificant shifts in environment. I don't look for problems.. they find me, I can feel them... and that's where the fun begins. I genuinely find so enjoyment in figuring out a problem and fixing it. I do several things but one of them is executive coaching and part of it goal setting with the client, which is much more than it seems. Having them figure out what their strengths are so that those can be utilized to progress is what got me thinking of my strengths.. so I asked several people I worked with and hands down, creative problem solving was my strength, which now I find interesting on a whole different level.
To me my job is fun and challenging and I fit with it.. I wonder where CT could go in terms of helping others see the way they take in, process, and execute information and tie that with jobs (schools) they'd naturally be fit for.. it certainly is interesting.
Just an FYI SeFi is NOT this.. although... for some it could be, but I certainly don't identify with it.
