𝗜𝗻 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗦𝗟𝗘 [1/2] Some people currently are cancelling Social Eight for SLE because it doesn't fit Fi PoLR and Ti PoLR fits well with how it rebels against social norms and hirearchies but here's the Truth Fi PoLR doesn't necessarily mean narcissistic or immoral but it means not paying enough attention to the nuances of interpersonal relationships, and let's not forget that SLEs are Fe+ and Fe Mobilizing and even if it's weak it's still valued 𝐅𝐢 𝐏𝐨𝐋𝐑: "The individual does not normally pay attention to the nuances of interpersonal relationships; he is either overly suspicious or overly assuming of his relations with others when they are not clearly defined. More importance is given to these relations as they pertain to objective mutual benefit; entertaining one another and accomplishing mutual goals are seen as the main focus, rather than seeing the relationships as rewarding in and of themselves. The individual does not expect others to be actively aware or concerned with his own personal sentiments, and so sees little reason to be concerned with those of others, unless they have direct consequences for the individual. Statements by other persons reflecting their inner feelings are not fully registered by the individual if not accompanied by external emotional expression or actions. Suggestions that the individual may have acted unethically in the eyes of another person who has not clearly expressed disapproval are met with bafflement by the individual; those that are expressed without tact are either dismissed or reacted to aggressively. Expressions of deep personal sentiments are awkward for the individual, whether coming from another or himself. He does not see it as his “right” to place the burden of his true emotions on another, both because he knows how uncomfortable those of others make him (even when they are positive and genuine), and because of his own awkwardness in expressing them." 𝐅𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠: "The individual longs for situations where people are having fun, laughing and joking, and feel emotionally free and spontaneous. However, he is generally unable to produce this atmosphere himself and uses other means to create situations where there is a good chance that others will take the emotional initiative and create a fun and emotionally stimulating atmosphere. Failure at such attempts are met with dismay, which the individual either hides or reacts to with frustration and annoyance." 𝐅𝐞+ ESE, LII, SLE, IEI, LIE, ESI, IEE, SLI "Ethics of Positive Emotions [+]: To focus on positive emotions, to cheer people up, to excite, shake up, and electrify others. Ethics of Intensity [+]: To accept intense and zealous emotions, to feel fiery and passionate emotions as they come. Increasing the intensity of one’s emotions drives people to more readily be aroused and inspired towards a cause." And for Ti superego's rebellion against hirearchies SLEs are Ti- which would work with Social 8's rebellion against hirearchies 𝐓𝐢- ESE, LII, SLE, IEI, LIE, ESI, IEE, SLI "Logic of Independence [-]: To minimise one’s needs, to try to meet all of your needs on your own, to reduce one’s needs and be independent, to break away from a social system. Logic of Deconstruction [-]: To deconstruct a system of relationships, to destroy it, revolutionise it, or create a new one. To seek justice over a high position. Decreasing one’s dependence on systems makes an organism more easily able to meet its needs when help is not available."
Biography
For the Social Eight subtype, a sense of powerlessness or injustice is overcome by being part of an aligned group, usually in a leadership role. This subtype’s anger and aggression are mediated by the group’s needs, and harnessed for a common agenda. Loyalty to friends and social causes take precedence over personal feelings and needs.
