SEEThe Politician

SEEs are charismatic and assertive, skilled at navigating social networks and influencing others. They are often driven by their personal desires and relationships.

01

General Description

The SEE (Sensory Ethical Extrovert), often called "Napoleon" or "The Politician," is a charismatic leader and a master of social maneuvering. They are energetic, assertive, and driven by a desire for influence and recognition. The SEE perceives the world through the lens of power dynamics and personal relationships. They are excellent at networking, reading people's desires, and positioning themselves at the center of attention. They are impulsive, warm, and fiercely protective of their "territory" and their people.

Ego Block

Leading: Extroverted Sensing (Se) The SEE is a person of action and will. They want to impact the world and expand their sphere of influence. They are acutely aware of status, hierarchy, and who holds the power. Unlike the SLE, who uses power for structural control, the SEE uses power to build relationships and gain social capital. They are confident, pushy, and always ready to take the initiative.

Creative: Introverted Ethics (Fi) The SEE uses Fi to navigate their relationships. They are experts at understanding who likes whom, who is loyal, and how to win people over. They use their personal charm and ethical manipulation to build a network of allies. They can be very warm and intimate, making people feel special, but they can also be cold and dismissive to those they dislike. Their ethics are flexible and serve their goals.

03

Super-Ego Block

Role: Extroverted Intuition (Ne) The SEE can try to be innovative and consider abstract possibilities, but they find it difficult. They prefer to deal with what is tangible and present. They often struggle to see the potential in things that are not immediately useful or visible. They may boast about their "vision," but their ideas are often practical rather than truly novel.

Vulnerable: Introverted Logic (Ti) The SEE struggles with objective logic, strict rules, and impersonal systems. They hate bureaucracy and rigid hierarchies that limit their freedom. They often contradict themselves logically and make decisions based on personal preference rather than consistent principles. They find detailed analysis and classification to be boring and difficult.

04

Super-Id Block

Suggestive: Introverted Intuition (Ni) The SEE is impulsive and lives in the moment, often failing to foresee the long-term consequences of their actions. They are drawn to people (like the ILI) who can predict the future, warn them of dangers, and provide a sense of timing. They need someone to help them reflect and see the bigger picture behind their immediate desires.

Mobilizing: Extroverted Logic (Te) The SEE wants to be seen as efficient, knowledgeable, and successful. They value practical information and facts. They enjoy learning how to do things and how to make money. They often try to be business-like, but their efficiency is often hampered by their impulsiveness. They appreciate advice on how to optimize their actions for better results.

05

Id Block

Ignoring: Introverted Sensing (Si) The SEE enjoys physical pleasure but does not prioritize comfort or stability. They are willing to endure discomfort to achieve their goals or to have fun. They view excessive focus on health and routine as boring. They are energetic and restless, preferring activity to relaxation.

Demonstrative: Extroverted Ethics (Fe) The SEE is very expressive and emotional. They can easily charm a room and create a mood. However, they view emotions as a tool for personal connection (Fi) rather than an end in themselves. They are not interested in maintaining a "polite" atmosphere if it contradicts their true feelings. Their emotions are raw and personal.
