Ego Block
Extroverted Sensing (Se):
​
SLEs are assertive, independent thinkers who can identify the levels of willpower and motivation in those around them. They excel at effectively organizing others to achieve specific goals and are committed to getting the job done. When they sense that others are unable or unwilling to take the lead, SLEs readily step up to take initiative. Although they may not always have all the necessary information, they often find success through their proactive approach. Active and dynamic, SLEs prefer a fast-paced lifestyle over a reflective one. They easily recognize power dynamics within various structures, hierarchies, or relationships and aim for positions that allow them more autonomy. SLEs often emerge as natural leaders, quickly stepping into this role even in unfamiliar settings. They typically adopt a rigid and inflexible leadership style, favoring a straightforward approach to achieving goals rather than experimenting with different methods. However, if their chosen method isn't effective, they are willing to adapt and find an alternative. SLEs are attuned to their immediate physical surroundings and often strive to shape it to meet their needs, showcasing their strength in the process. This can lead them to act on instinct with little restraint, which may come across as impulsive, aggressive, or rash, sometimes overlooking the needs of others in their pursuit of goals.

Introverted Logic (Ti):
​​
SLEs are often skilled at creating logical systems and models, as well as establishing logical relationships and reasoning. They typically rely on these models to make sense of the world around them. More intellectually inclined SLEs may focus heavily on developing these considerations, viewing logical systems and structured perspectives as essential. Some SLEs can be quite rigid and dogmatic in their beliefs. On the other hand, their use of Ti is generally adaptable; if they find their systems ineffective, they can quickly abandon them. SLEs primarily concentrate on their power-driven objectives by leveraging their logical thinking. They are often attracted to power structures or settings where rules are clearly defined and enforced. They tend to collect and retain information they find useful for their purposes, often citing well-known facts, statistics, and historical examples to support their arguments. Independent thinkers, they frequently draw their own conclusions and are generally unphased by strong moral or ideological opposition. They have a keen interest in learning across various subjects and are motivated by the potential for rewards and recognition, often seeking to demonstrate their authority through numerous academic achievements or extracurricular certifications.​

Extroverted Intuition (Ne):
​​
SLEs possess the ability to make assessments regarding the potential hidden qualities of both people and objects. However, these judgments are frequently impulsive and limited in perspective, which can result in overly simplistic and one-dimensional views. Consequently, SLEs may sometimes misjudge or underestimate the abilities of others significantly. When it comes to evaluating future developments or possibilities, SLEs are often hesitant, leading them to prefer taking charge and actively influencing their surroundings in order to achieve their goals. While they may express a sense of confidence and optimism about what the future holds, they often find it challenging to maintain hope that outcomes beyond their control will turn out in a favorable manner.

​​
Introverted Ethics (Fi):
​​​
SLEs often struggle to assess the internal emotional states of others unless there are clear emotional expressions present. They dislike being morally judged or criticized for their lack of attention to others' emotions. SLEs may feel uneasy in overly sentimental situations or when they are expected to provide emotional support. Many SLEs are emotionally guarded and can become sensitive or anxious if they believe others might judge their character negatively. SLEs often navigate their interpersonal relationships with caution. SLEs frequently hold the belief that, while they may receive respect or admiration from those around them, they are incapable of experiencing genuine love from anyone. This perception can lead to feelings of paranoia regarding their relationships with others. They may also find themselves concerned that their current relationships could somehow influence or harm their future connections, such as worrying that forming a bond with a potential partner in the present could somehow ruin their chances of having a successful relationship with a future spouse.

Super-Id Block
Introverted Intuition (Ni):
​
SLEs are energetic and impulsive people who often struggle with self-control. They tend to rely on their instincts and may act without fully considering the consequences, sometimes taking on more than they can handle. They'll often jump to conclusions and may not recognize the complexities of situations, leading to misunderstandings. To improve their thinking, it may be beneficial for them to slow down and reflect more carefully. SLEs often search for a profound sense of meaning in life, but overlook the implications of deeper meanings, hidden symbols, or metaphysical concepts. In their quest for answers, they may impulsively explore various sources of truth and appreciate those who can articulate thoughtful philosophical, symbolic, or spiritual perspectives. They are drawn to individuals who share their broad goals and beliefs but are more reflective than action-oriented, helping to contextualize the SLEs' aspirations within a greater purpose.

​​
Extroverted Ethics (Fe):
​​
SLEs greatly appreciate lively emotional environments where they can express themselves freely without facing moral judgment or feeling the need to lower their emotional defenses. However, they often struggle to create an emotional spark in situations they find too dull. When SLEs attempt to influence the emotional atmosphere, they may not receive the response they're looking for, leading to feelings of offense or a sense of lack of control. In new situations, they might feel compelled to keep their emotional guard up, which can make them seem unfriendly or insensitive, potentially causing further tension and distancing them from others. SLEs thrive in dynamic settings where they can relax and be free from emotional barriers. They engage most openly with who foster these open-ended emotional spaces. They are also drawn to groups united by a goal, which provide a foundation for friendly interactions. Such environments can help SLEs express their true selves and offer a valuable emotional outlet.​

Id Block
Introverted Sensing (Si):
​
SLEs tend to have an awareness of their internal physical state and how their external environment impacts them, but they don't focus heavily on these aspects or on maintaining their physical well-being. While they can create a comfortable environment for themselves, their idea of comfort is minimal, as they don't feel the need to cultivate overly cozy settings. Many SLEs are indifferent to their dietary choices and the specifics of their surroundings. In fact, some can thrive with just the essentials and remain unfazed by their circumstances. For most SLEs, personal comfort is instead closely tied to their interactions with the outside world and the status symbols they can present.
​​​
​​
Extroverted Logic (Te):
​​
SLEs are typically very practical and hardworking individuals who dedicate their efforts to helping others with various aspects of daily life, including technical, bureaucratic, logistical, or functional tasks. While they excel in these areas, they often display a certain ambivalence toward large amounts of factual information, as well as concepts like productivity and efficiency. These topics rarely capture their interest or attention. In fact, SLEs tend to perceive people who are excessively preoccupied with business-related concerns, productivity metrics, or efficiency standards as rather dry and overly serious. As a result, they may engage in playful teasing of such individuals, finding humor in their intense focus on these matters.
