# SEI - the “Curator” (SiFe)

* #### “Leading” Block - \[ “Aesthesis” ]

1. “Base” Function - \[ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAwAAAAMCAYAAABWdVznAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAERlWElmTU0AKgAAAAgAAYdpAAQAAAABAAAAGgAAAAAAA6ABAAMAAAABAAEAAKACAAQAAAABAAAADKADAAQAAAABAAAADAAAAAATDPpdAAAATElEQVQoFWNkwAT/0YQY0fhwLkghumKQJFZxbArhJkEZYDVM6KLE8IkxHWbOf5JtoL0GuNtgDDw0+aEEMxRkArYQQxHHFu3omlDUAABJTg//VPgh0QAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==) Si ]

SEIs are deeply attuned to the internal physical states of their bodies and the cues others give off concerning their own. As a result, they tend to be very focused on managing the aesthetic quality of their sensory experiences and their environment, with a particular emphasis on physical comfort and harmony. Attentiveness to their own and others' favored amenities is their primary means of accomplishing this.

2. “Creative” Function - \[ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAwAAAAMCAYAAABWdVznAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAERlWElmTU0AKgAAAAgAAYdpAAQAAAABAAAAGgAAAAAAA6ABAAMAAAABAAEAAKACAAQAAAABAAAADKADAAQAAAABAAAADAAAAAATDPpdAAAAKElEQVQoFWNkYGD4D8TYACM2QSZsgvjEhoMGUEjgCiWsfh8OnibZDwCFqQIW5gZ6ywAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==) Fe ]

In keeping with the SEI’s emphasis on aesthetic comfort, they also subtly use disarmingly pleasant affectations to maintain harmonious social atmospheres. Many are naturals at defusing tensions with an unflappable affability.  Not particularly inclined to make themselves the center of attention, they prefer to engage with others on a more one-on-one basis.

* #### “Diverting” Block - \[ “Strategy” ]

3. “Role” Function - \[ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAwAAAAMCAYAAABWdVznAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAERlWElmTU0AKgAAAAgAAYdpAAQAAAABAAAAGgAAAAAAA6ABAAMAAAABAAEAAKACAAQAAAABAAAADKADAAQAAAABAAAADAAAAAATDPpdAAAASElEQVQoFWNgwA7+A4VBGAMwYYiQIYBsMjIbbBTFNmCYCDQWRYwiG1BMQvM7XI5sG+AmoJmMzAWrIcsGYkyH2fSfEcgiRQMDAAq7DP8hUE6AAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) Ni ]

While being capable of adequately reflecting on future likelihoods and following linear courses, SEIs prefer to live casually and improvise in the present moment. However, if given cause to feel anxious about some future prospects, they may overplan and further worry themselves when unforeseen developments undermine their provisions.

4. “Vulnerable” Function - \[ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAwAAAAMCAYAAABWdVznAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAERlWElmTU0AKgAAAAgAAYdpAAQAAAABAAAAGgAAAAAAA6ABAAMAAAABAAEAAKACAAQAAAABAAAADKADAAQAAAABAAAADAAAAAATDPpdAAAAHklEQVQoFWNkYGD4D8REAyaiVUIVjmogJsSGQygBAGOyARctg8RmAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) Te ]

SEIs have a particularly hard time reasoning out practical strategies when encountering situations outside their intellectual comfort zone, and have hardly any interest in applying independent critical thinking to make sense of data. Instead, they prefer to have trusted, authoritative sources handle such details and provide easily applicable conclusions that can generally be relied upon.

* #### “Dovetailing” Block - \[ “Interpretation” ]

5. “Suggestive” Function - \[ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAwAAAAMCAYAAABWdVznAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAERlWElmTU0AKgAAAAgAAYdpAAQAAAABAAAAGgAAAAAAA6ABAAMAAAABAAEAAKACAAQAAAABAAAADKADAAQAAAABAAAADAAAAAATDPpdAAAAWUlEQVQoFZWRMQ4AIAgDrf//swoJpIJoZBFLrwxgrGqhAKhyGLUevM9vAixdSO4tKQE2qN4NOCVGbQOqVNYdiEls4pkDbLj1CnBCZTbP9wY5abp0tUX07w0TQOYIKuOiDqIAAAAASUVORK5CYII=) Ne ]

Being deeply rooted in their immediate, physical experience, SEIs have a much harder time shifting that focus into innovating wide ranging, novel abstractions. However, despite being very concretely focused and prone to routine, SEIs are very appreciative of those who’re able to readily provide fresh ideas and new perspectives on things.

6. “Mobilizing” Function - \[ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAwAAAAMCAYAAABWdVznAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAERlWElmTU0AKgAAAAgAAYdpAAQAAAABAAAAGgAAAAAAA6ABAAMAAAABAAEAAKACAAQAAAABAAAADKADAAQAAAABAAAADAAAAAATDPpdAAAAMUlEQVQoFWNkYGD4D8REAxaQyv//idPDyMjIwES00VCFoxqICTHahxIjKKKJcQpMDQDTbAUXrf8MiAAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==) Ti ]

SEIs avidly adhere to conceptual schema which enable them to make intellectual sense of, and clearly describe, their lived experiences in more vivid detail. However, they can be over reliant on such framings, and extremely resistant to accepting factual information which doesn’t neatly conform to their way of understanding things.&#x20;

* #### “Trailing” Block - \[ “Volition” ]

7. “Ignoring” Function - \[ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAwAAAAMCAYAAABWdVznAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAERlWElmTU0AKgAAAAgAAYdpAAQAAAABAAAAGgAAAAAAA6ABAAMAAAABAAEAAKACAAQAAAABAAAADKADAAQAAAABAAAADAAAAAATDPpdAAAAVklEQVQoFb1R2wpAIQjT6P9/udOCxRLCTg/5pLvgSm+9TMrdZTILtFWyURhxGguInZgm1QyDElmPwMsbMsPvDQ8M/K4sO3ho7yKdbKFmXppAPCJxRv4AhFMdEL1ax1YAAAAASUVORK5CYII=) Se ]

As mentioned previously, SEIs are extremely attuned to the vital condition of their bodies. While being readily able to draw upon those energetic reserves to exert themselves, SEI’s prefer to operate at a more relaxed, serene pace. However while they're adeptly avoidant of contention and direct confrontation, when cornered into it, SEIs are capable of ferocious bursts of forcefulness.

8. “Demonstrative” Function - \[ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAwAAAAMCAYAAABWdVznAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAERlWElmTU0AKgAAAAgAAYdpAAQAAAABAAAAGgAAAAAAA6ABAAMAAAABAAEAAKACAAQAAAABAAAADKADAAQAAAABAAAADAAAAAATDPpdAAAAOklEQVQoFWNkYGD4D8TYACM2QZAYNg3YxMD6mXCZgkt8EGpgweVWoDhOj+OUwGLY/0HoaVD0k+IHBgBiPwcPO3+IrQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==) Fi ]

Awareness of relational attitudes and visceral likes & dislikes comes as naturally to SEIs as their attunement to aesthetic impressions. They also quite easily establish a friendly rapport with other individuals. Even so, SEIs are more inclined to use their aptitude in this area to smooth over and maintain a general social harmony, rather than preferentially manage individual relations.
