Reply To: About Se - Locked on Eyes

What is happening could be a combination of Se and Fi-Te. There are priorities and I adapt my sensory input to attain what is most important. It’s not crucial to see that a lady on the street has a red umbrella but it is important to reach deadlines and to determine whether God exists or not. :))

That's right! I agree completely, @bera. I think you just honed in on one of the biggest problems with the current Pe descriptions - it makes it sound as if Pe leads cannot differentiate the foreground from the background. This is not true.
Pe leads get really really really caught up in things; hence the 'addictive' tendencies. We throw ourselves fully into something and it's stimulating. I would imagine Se-Ni holeism and Se "focus" actually applies over the long-run as well; in the sense that Ne might like to keep their options open, so they may be unlikely to commit to a certain direction in life; but I don't necessarily see this as an over-arching theme with Se leads. Even in the wolfpit chat, we tend to focus on one topic for a long time, without topic-hopping to entertain each divergent thought. Likewise, Se leads tend to know what it is that we're into , and what we're not into. There isn't this sense that we need to do "everything" and explore any divergent possibility that might arise.  Instead, we dive too deep  into a thing, immersing ourselves in it.  There may even be an obsessional quality here. (At least for me.)
