The difference between Si <> Se

  • While Se attends to environmental details, Si is concerned with recalling or reconciling past details with those of the present.

  • Se gathers concrete information broadly, seeking diversity and novelty. Si perceives more narrowly, drawing on past experiences.

  • Se types are also more concerned with physical appearances.
