MBTI Grip: Se

An explaination on function grip in MBTI. Not an expert. May change later.

___

Grips occur when a type is under an immense amount of stress. Their other functions give up mentally and "shut down", which allows their inferior function to take over. A type in the grip begins to act like the unhealthy version of their inferior function, very unlike and opposite of themselves. Grips can last for a short while or longer, depending on how long the stress persists.

___

Se inferior (INxJ)

Se inferior types may struggle to enjoy the present moment as their minds are often set on what they need to do next. They can miss obvious details and struggle with daily routine. They can also let opportunities slip by since they are often not spontaneous or risk takers - they prefer to see how a situation may go and follow through with it.

When in an Se grip, INxJ will come out of their shell but in a careless, messy way. As Se is focused on the physical sensations, a very stressed INxJ will try to cope with stress by overworking their Se. They may start to over indulge in physical sensations and pleasures such as food (especially unhealthy food) and drinking, sexually risky behavior, tv and/or on their phones (screen time in general), drugs, sleeping time away, etc any unusual thrill seeking and risky behavior is part of the Se grip.

Engaging with the auxiliary function helps to alleviate the stress and to gradually break out of the grip. For INTJs, they have to use their Te; need to create plans and goals to achieve things to boost their focus and confidence. For INFJs, they have to use their Fe; engage with others, work on and improve their relationships with others. Both types should focus on setting realistic goals and expectations for themselves when trying to get out of a grip. Doing too much and having high expectations will likely result in failure and disappointment, only pushing themselves further into their grip. They need to learn to use Se to relax and to support their Ni and aux rather than a distraction.

Here’s the old one:

Now here’s the fixed one:

Now allow the functions working together in a type.

What would be in an INTP's mind with TiSi, how do they get the foresight to get to the other side in one shot? Is FeNe like getting people to buy in?

What about an ENTJ? How do they figure in hindsight so they'll get it one shot next time? What are they asking themselves with FiNi?

Se Actuality

Se is a function that absorbs objects in realtime (Pe), immersing itself into the subtleties of those objects (S). Se's hyperfocus on objects heightens their intensity and vividness with each processing loop, like how two speakers can create an amplified echo when placed side by side. It seeks objects with many layers of richness and detail to uncover, capable of providing high stimulation, whether those objects are abstract or concrete. If they are abstract objects, Se will immerse itself in those concepts with a linear focus, learning everything from the subject.

Heightened Focus

The Se user will constantly receive a photographic feed from the outer world and thus will have a heightened receptivity to sensory information, which can be both overwhelming when undesired and highly stimulating when accepted and honed. If this data absorption is sought after rather than rejected, the Se user will become so immersed in the 'one thing' in front of them that everything else suddenly disappears. The Se user's attention is cinematic, causing them to take in the world just as it appears with very high fidelity, and this can lead to an appreciation for "realism" in the arts and other mediums. The focus of a Se user is linear rather than divergent. They will want to sink deeply into the experience of a thing rather than spread themselves thin and broadly. Unsolicited tangents can be too distracting for them, jarring their attention and focus away from their present obsession. Even if the Se user has multiple interests- which they inescapably do – whenever they are immersed in a subject, it is with an acute intrigue. This dedicated attention can create hyper-vigilance and the capacity to refine an art form faster than others if they choose to attend to it. However, each skill will be domain-specific and not necessarily translate to acuity in other areas. If they are learning about a handmade craft, they may notice all the bumps, lumps, scratches, and dents in objects and quickly see the subtle differences in colors and shapes. Volumes of non-verbal information will collide with their attention constantly and guide them to calibrate their personal experiences accordingly.

Flow & Improvisation

The most direct way this sensory calibration happens is through an active flow. For the Se user, flow is when the body/mind moves in rhythm with everything else in the environment, as if pulsing with the same energy. During these moments, the Se user exists in direct contact with life, which creates an intoxicating feeling. One gets lost in the moment as they fine-tune their rhythm with the situation, which can happen when singing, playing an instrument, freestyle rapping, hugging turns on a skateboard, locking in trigger reflexes in an FPS, and the like. The Se user will get "in the zone" and feel most in their element when they can perform in realtime, making up their next move. Adaptation is essential to a Se user, and there is nothing more adaptive than reacting instantly, elegantly, and with no delay to every twist and swerve life throws at you. The closer they are to this flow, the more aligned they will feel. Life is most invigorating when they perfectly align the body's needs, desires, and situations. It may feel like a symphony coming together in harmony, and indeed, many Se users take to music production for its capacity to create this lucidity and fluidity. In all their activities and ventures, whenever life is not flowing in this manner, the Se user senses it and will feel out of alignment.

Vitality & Volition

A sense of volition also characterizes Se, as their linearity of focus quickly translates into a clarity of desire. There is an implicit knowledge of what is wanted and, as a Pe function, a craving for its attainment. The Se type will be a go-getter, motivated to gather what it wants in a literal sense. Se will leverage the environment to work for them, being opportunistic and making the best of what they have. Moreover, the quest for this attainment will carry a delicious zeal, giving Se users an added layer of vitality and self-assertion in reality. The Se user occupies where they stand, making their will known by their composure. Then, as they lock onto their target, they inadvertently create adversity as opposite wills always exist and chase after the same or competing resources. This only fuels their thirst for stimulation and arousal as they get immersed in the hunt. The challenge of going after their pursuits will be part of the very flow they so delight in navigating, and this quest for vigor can often manifest in hobbies such as racing, martial arts, and other daring activities. However, while capable of leading to sprints of great productivity, this ambition is not motivated by fiscality or conscientiousness. For Se, the desire to win is not sought for the long-term procurement of resources; instead, it is motivated by some stimulating challenge that reality posits and invigorates them to flirt with.

Movement & Restlessness

Not having dynamic movement happening, however, will feel like an absence of thriving. While Se users are prone to over-stimulation if the stimuli are unwanted, they also are prone to under-stimulation if their environment does not allow an outlet for creative flow. Se will have a low tolerance for being forced to attend to things they dislike. If they are denied the freedom to explore the world actively, suffocation sets in like a depressive weight. The Se user needs to "move" and see to scan the next corner. They will be prone to pack their bags and head off into town on a whim. The Se user lives a mobile life, constantly making things happen as they encounter different situations. However, this necessity for motion can also be a curse, interfering with family plans or the practical constraints of life. As children, Se users may be overly active, and it may be hard for their parents to find a constructive outlet for their energy at all times. The Se user may have little tolerance for routine and get into trouble for misadventures undergone in an attempt to abate the dread of idleness. Family members may pressure them to stay indoors or not go out as much, but often, the Se user will not listen and either sneak out or find a way to explore without permission.

Persistence Effect

At other times, however, life's sensory stimuli are highly unwelcome - making the Se user more keenly aware of disturbance than all others. The Se users' sensitivity to stimuli becomes a double-edged sword when there is a nagging noise in the environment, such as an insect's hum, a squeaky fan, or a crying baby. Temperature differences and potent smells can also be sources of frustration. Their Se will not be able to ignore the aforementioned since, as an explorer function, every new "refresh" of the environment yields the same output - leading to very real and somatic irritation. Ironically, their quality of attuned focus sinks more heavily in on the irritation rather than putting it out of their mind, causing it to grow until it is the only thing they hear or see, debilitating all concentration. At best, this guides the Se user to seek the most pleasant sensory atmosphere available, and at worst, it can cause open complaints and outbursts. Because of this tendency, the Se user will craft their environment whenever possible to match what their sensations can tolerate. They will pay close attention to minimizing potential inconveniences and maximizing comfort.

Ergonomics & Aesthetics

Due to this careful crafting of sensory experience, Se users often take to ergonomics. The look, feel, and appeal of something are critical. How it fits in their hand, how the grip holds, and how it throws, sounds, and moves are all heavily considered. The Se user will want "the experience" of a thing to be enjoyable and free of micro-irritations. They will go to great lengths to make that happen in their own life, selecting objects based on their ergonomic and aesthetic appeal. They may be fans of designer brands, which simply take the most effort to maximize user experience. This leads to an appreciation for luxury as an extension of their need for completeness of sensational exposure. Moreover, although they may not always afford the highest luxury, the Se user will often take steps in that direction whenever possible. More than others, Se users understand how to create something seamless and often pave the way in design and fashion. They will create things with beauty and convenience as priorities while being simplistic and to the point. Moreover, Se perpetually seeks new experiences as an explorer process, leading to very contemporary. Se gravitates to the latest, causing them to be trendy or at least have a keen understanding of where the trends are and how they are evolving.

Sensual Energy

While we all have an appreciation, capacity, and need for the sensual dimension, Se, being the sensory exploration process, receives a double dose of this facet of our nature. No sensation is more direct, potent, and contrasted than the sexual, and from this raw contact with the body, Se receives a level of natural eroticism. The amplification of their senses extends to a type of libidinal awareness and intelligence. However, each individual can choose to explore or repress this tactile energy. Indeed, many Se users - whether by culture or moral verdict - will select to shun this part of themselves. However, for those who decide to explore it, this can add a contagious chemistry to everything they do. The Se user, so predisposed, can be a vixen and leave a seductive trail behind them as they explore and express themselves. They may not shy away from making themselves attractive and showing a little skin or muscle. As Se wishes always to explore all sensory domains to the utmost, this leads to a pointed interest in the subtleties of flirtation, pickup artistry, and more exotic art forms. However, this can cause many Se users to grate against social repercussions and taboos. A girl may be frustrated by her mother's old-fashioned conservatism, or a man may be accused of sexual harassment for playful teasing or banter. Se, like Ne, is constantly crashing against the establishment as it seeks to break boundaries, peer around the corner, and dabble with all available information with less consideration of restraint or temperance.

-Behaviors Under Stress

Addiction

Like most people, the Se user is no stranger to a small quantity of wine or hard liquor. However, due to the acuteness and physicality with which they experience life's stress, the temptation to exhale problems through stimulants or sedatives is all the more pronounced in them than in others. It is here where the Se user may dive into their vice to an excess until it becomes a source of debilitation. More than a few Se users have met a short end at the hands of an overdose. Given their sensitivity, a Se user would require an inordinate strength of will to resist sourcing to a physical outlet when times become roughest. Under stress, they seek immediate alleviation from the unbearable "here and now." Their ability to think long-term may suffer or fade altogether as they become consumed only by how disquieting the present feels. This is especially true if their Ni has made a pessimistic forecast, allowing them little hypothetical escape from their situation. Addiction then acts as a form of escapism and relief, one which is unsustainable at best and fatal at worst. In these moments, the Se user needs to channel from external stimuli. When substances replace external stimuli, the Se user may withdraw from the physical world, forgetting that out there is where all life, vigor, and vitality are to be found. Substances act as a quick but ultimately less stimulating replacement for the bliss better found in the music, rhythm, and flow of dance and direct contact with reality.

Delinquency

In other situations, the Se user's stress can manifest in an unhealthy opportunism. The Se function will always seek, quite advantageously, the best experience possible, and when distressed, this impulsiveness can lead to certain unethical behaviors. As their spiritual reserves become depleted from psychological injuries, they may help themselves to the grace and resources of others, perhaps taking more than may be polite. In heavier cases, they may take more than they were explicitly allotted, which can develop into a habit for the Se user, escalating to shoplifting and eventually to outright robbery. The Se user feels that scarcity of resources is the cause for their sufferings, and attaining more objects is the solution to their deprivation. As with addiction, the Se user feels robbed of sensational release, suffocated by an unpleasant environment, and is seeking somehow to remedy the situation through tactile means. However, poverty or scarcity may not be the cause of their delinquency but instead may be a sort of greed for that which is unattainable. It may be a relative poverty they wish to abate when compared to a higher tier/class that taunts them with the faraway luxuries and experiences they crave.

ATEEZ Wooyoung MBTI Analysis

- ESFP -

An in-depth analysis of an idol's MBTI type. Based on my opinion and observations, may change later. Not an expert.

ESFP (Se - Fi - Te - Ni)

Dom: Se (Extroverted Sensing)

A perceiving function that uses our 5 senses to process the external world.

Wooyoung is always aware of the present moment, quick to react and to take action. He also pays attention to physical things such as aesthetics, the visuals of the performance, the way he looks, etc physical appearances matter a lot to him.

He enjoys photography and videography, which are pretty good activities for Se - it allows him to use his senses to make visually stimulating images and videos. Physically engaging activities seem like the best way to energize him e.g cooking and riding a bike. Cooking is great for his Se as it engages with all his senses - all the movement in cooking, tasting the foods, the aromas, watching the food cook, plating, maybe he enjoys hearing the sounds of food cooking as well and/or the way kitchen tools slightly hit each other (e.g knife on a cutting board).

This moment especially was an incredibly Se dom moment. Comparing it to Si user Jongho (Si has to step back and assess first), being the Se dom he is, Woo just went for it.

Aux: Fi (Introverted Feeling)

A judging function that uses one's own values and belief to compare and make choices

As Fi wants to be authentic, that is what Wooyoung always strives for - he always wants to express himself well, to be real. He wants people to like him for him. He returns the same gesture with others - he wants to know the real version of others. Wooyoung tries not to make assumptions at first meet since he knows he will not learn everything just from one encounter. He seems very empathetic.

Tert: Te (Extroverted Thinking)

A judging function that uses established facts and systems to make objective, working decisions.

He's quite goal oriented and takes time to plan to achieve these goals, even if it's not the most detailed. Either way, he knows how to get what he wants and works hard to reach his achievements.

Wooyoung lays down the rules as well - Te can be by the book, which Wooyoung can be sometimes. E.g when he was explaining how he found it rude when juniors would not put in the effort to correctly bow down to him and other senior artists. Wooyoung has a strong belief in being humble and kind (Fi) and wants to implement this in everyone.

Inf: Ni (Introverted Intuition)

A perceiving function that uses one's own personal insights and ideas

In his episode of "Fill in the Blank" series, Wooyoung said he wanted to use dance to convey deeper messages and emotions for others. He wants to be a sense of comfort, the light in other's darkness. He has always wanted to make an impact on others from a young age, especially considering how much he values relationships.

___

Why is he not an xSFJ or ISTJ

Both types use Si - Ne, which I do not see in Wooyoung at all...xSFJ's Fe is understandable, but Wooyoung is sometimes a bit too straightforward and honest to be using Fe in his main stack though lol.

And ISTJ just does not make sense in general for him.

Another person is added to my shit list: my younger brother’s friend 😑

[cruesuffix]

I like to think Mick just screams for no reason. Not even a regular scream, like a final girl scream. Like he's currently being axe murdered type of scream, making anyone around him (wife, kids, crüe, Whitehorse, etc) come rushing to him wondering who just broke in.

i mean with how loud he can get in bts vids of the band… i would say this is a thousand percent correct! this just reminds me of the vid of nikki and vince goofing around singing some song really weirdly and then mick just starts screaming and scares the shit outta nikki! also im pretty sure even his kids have said he was loud as hell most of the time. sometimes i think it’s just a weird impulse, like he doesn’t necessarily plan on just screaming, he just does it on a whim. maybe it’s fun for him idk. but yeah, i think he’d like to do a nice final girl scream every once in a while. for no reason just screaming like he witnessed someone get murdered, and then he’d laugh as soon as someone comes running in! you’d think they’d get used to it at some point, but because he’s so random with his loudness, it’s always a fight on whether or not he’s being serious this time.

(also, i think his family would’ve hated when he did it, maybe they run to him every time and tell him off when he starts laughing lmaooo, whitehorse would find it funny the first ten times… and then would promptly ignore him once they realized this was his schtick. and the Crüe…. i’m inclined to believe they’d pick up on his little habit after a while and start laughing and copying him once he does it!)

Okay I need an episode where all of the 118 are like wondering if they’re too lonely or if it’s weird that they are only friends with a few ppl from their shift and then Eddie bounds in talking about his poker friends or his basketball buddies. They’re thinking about how they need to get out more so they all go out to a bar with the intent to meet at least one new person and Eddie’s already there with a different group of friends laughing and joking around. They try to figure out why they have trouble as Eddie is constantly having new ppl try to talk to him and be his friend
