Talk:Extroverted logic

(original question deleted)

I'll try. perceives objective, factual information outside the subject and analyzes the rationale and functionality of what is happening or being done or said. "Quality" to a type is how well an object performs the functions for which it was made. A type can judge a person to be "effective" if he is able to achieve his purposes without wasting any energy or producing unwanted side effects. So types basically evaluate people and things using the same criteria. Obviously, how to do this is a mystery to types who tend to be "hopelessly" subjective. (Admin 15:26, 9 June 2007 (CDT))

That's good I wanted to go into even more detail but fuck it. The only suggestion I can think of is this:

" perceives objective, factual information outside the subject(external activity) and analyzes the rationale and functionality of what is happening or being done or said."

Just so the same terms are used throughout the article.--Electric 15:51, 9 June 2007 (CDT)

Also we should probably make a section relating the differences between Te and Fi. I'm not sure about Te and other functions though.--Electric 16:00, 9 June 2007 (CDT)

I think the best place to compare and contrast the IM elements and how they operate would be in the article on IM elements, not the specific Te, Fi, etc. (Admin 16:23, 9 June 2007 (CDT))

Is the correct spelling EXTRO or EXTRA ? Machintruc 11:10, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

Dictionaries give both spellings, but whatever is, we should see if there's a way to make the Wiki recognize these as completely interchangeable, because the way it has been handling them is so annoying. --Jonathan 12:56, 15 June 2007 (CDT)

These new ones are good. I find the 7th kind of interesting: "It is manifested as a skepticism and selectiveness towards external factual information, especially from secondary sources or not sufficiently confirmed empirical data, that does not fit into, or even contradicts, a logical conception previously constructed, unless the new external information fits an alternative logical conception that could replace the previous one." Is that really only a characteristic of LSI and LII? I thought other logical types did that too. Surely it's just as important to Gamma NTs to carefully evaluate new information, and to clearly recognize when it disagrees with a previous understanding (?). Similarly, the ability of new information to fit with a new or modified model that's coherent and explains all the data is surely a criterion that Gamma NTs might also use in evaluating it (?). --Jonathan 08:19, 22 June 2007 (CDT)

Ok, I have to reinforce it. Of course other logical types do it too, it's a question of priority. Expat 08:27, 22 June 2007 (CDT)
