Prejudices Function Block of IP Types (Se-Ne)

These types hold rigid beliefs regarding aesthetic values: how one should dress, their physical appearance, the number of possessions acceptable in a home, or how money ought to be spent.

They also have fixed ideas on how to judge the capabilities of others: which abilities to recognize, and which to dismiss. They harbor a prejudice against those who openly use their power or insight, often displaying skepticism: "Can you really summarize a person's character in just three words?"

They tend not to delve deeply into the origins of their preferences, instead relying on popular tastes and common habits. A degree of mental and physical inertia is characteristic—if they were taught a certain way to dress, they may stick to it for decades, and potentially for life if no one intervenes, introducing nothing new.

When life presents them with ample opportunity for creative projects, these types are inclined to retreat into a comfort zone or maintain their established routine. They find it tempting to shirk the investment of energy and resources required to implement any new process.

Actions demanding social initiative and accountability are something they prefer to offload onto others. They want to shift their responsibilities onto people who are more assertive and quick-witted.

It’s important to realize how difficult it is for someone accustomed to living in their "shell" to actively engage beyond its boundaries. It takes considerable resolve and self-sacrifice to try and influence the external world, especially one that doesn't seem ready for change.
