People who use Se take in what is happening now exactly as it is. They look at the facts before interpreting them.
Se is a way of perceiving that takes in what is happening now exactly as it is. People who use Se take in the other person's expression, the mood of the room, and what can be used right now as information the moment they see it.
That is why it reacts quickly. When the situation changes, it does not insist on the original plan but decides again to fit the conditions at the time.
People who use Se try things directly and check. They believe trying something once is faster than listening to a long explanation.
That is why it remembers what it has learned through doing for a long time. It judges based on what it has actually done rather than what it has read.
People who use Se spend little time reviewing, so to those around them they seem to act without thinking. In fact, they are telling apart what can be undone and what cannot.
But because it does not say so, the people around it cannot tell. For big decisions, stating the reason in one sentence changes the impression.
People who use Se are strong in work where unexpected things happen often and judgments must be made right away, because they grasp the current situation accurately and respond immediately.
It also suits work that uses the body or handles physical objects. It notices small differences through touch.
They refer to different things. People who use Se take what is happening now as their standard, and people who use Si take what they have experienced before.
So they look for risk differently. People who use Se judge by the signs they can see now, and people who use Si prepare in advance for the parts that caused problems before. In urgent situations people who use Se have the advantage, and in work that repeats people who use Si do.
When Se is very strong, the person focuses on the present but does not think much about what comes later. Choosing what works right now sometimes leads to losses later.
At a moderate level, they respond to the present while also preparing for what comes next. When Se is weak, they tend to miss what is happening now but are good at following a plan.
The strength of Se can be seen separately in the assessment results. Even within the same type, people with different Se scores respond to situations very differently.
