TAKEN FROM THE SCRIPT FOR THE MOVIE Se-Te: "Well, this is great. What are we supposed to do? Eat our feet?" "Oh great, you brought a comb. What d'you need a comb for if you don't even have any hair?" Teddy doesn't test logical solutions as a Ti-user would. He relies on objective fact as soon as the boys run out of money; "If we do not have money, we will not be able to eat." Furthermore, in contrast to Vern's Fe-Ti reasoning ("I brought the comb for you guys!"), Teddy sees tools that do not get the job done as pointless. His attention, yet again, is not pointed towards theories and subjective logic as it is towards what is useful and tangible. Fi: "Jeeze. That sucks. Why don't you make it so that Lardass goes home, an' he shoots his father. An' he runs away. An' - an' he joins the Texas- Rangers. How about that?" Teddy's criteria for judging the end of Gordie's story is not based on logic or plot holes. It's based on what he values as a worthy ending ("It's a good story, I just didn't like the ending"). He's clearly projecting his dreams of becoming an armyman as well as his personal problems with his father. His judgement is not impartial, it is involved and carries emotional weight to it. Compare this to Ti-inferior Vern, whose only criticism is "Did Lardass have to pay to get into the contest?". Clearly a minor, irrelevant piece of logic that Vern still values due to him wanting to account for every factor. Te, Se-Ni>Si-Ne: "There're four of us, Eyeball. You just make your move." In the penultimate scene with the showdown between the boys and the greasers, Teddy, when making this remark, does not account for the secondary factors (like height, age and muscle mass) that are advantages to the greasers. He thinks numerically, in terms of data rather than logical details; "there are four of us, therefore we should be able to win." Teddy's an ESFP. A brash one, but an ESFP nonetheless.
