2 Cognitive Functions
Affect of Primary or Auxiliary Se.
Pretty much the short of it would be, “I want to do stuff”. That’s the explanation, okay I’m done.
No, no, just kidding.
Se is a desire to immerse in, and understand, the world. Whatever the pair function is, combines with the experiences and gives a directional tool. For a different example, say Ti-Fe in combination makes you want to be analyse people, an Se-Fi or Se-Ti will create a different way of experiencing the world.
With Se-Fi/Fi-Se (XSFP), you are going through the world looking at how it impacts your internal sense of Self, your feelings, your experiences with the people that you meet, etc. These two types have an ability to recreate what is experienced within the internal world and show it to the external world, as this is emotions (Fi) intertwining with reality (Se), so it holds the ability to make the internal world externalised, etc.
Whereas a Se-Ti/Ti-Se (XSTP) gains these experiences with the world and learns about how they think, about solving the problems they come across in their experiences, in the things they see, in how the things they see work, etc. These two types “see” the world and then “analyse it”, making a map and connecting these experiences logically. They have a fantastic ability to analyse and problem solve about real world scenarios.
Explanation from a primary Se user:
A short video explaining the Explorers:
Having high stack extroverted sensing (Se) means that you are exploratory and value this trait in yourself.
Words you would use to describe yourself if you had high stack Se would be:
Exploring
Playful
Jubilant
Proactive

4 Keirsey Temperament Sorter
Keirsey refers to the group as Artisans and says their greatest skill is tactics, “Artisans are concrete and adaptable. Seeking stimulation and virtuosity, they are concerned with making an impact… They excel at troubleshooting, agility, and the manipulation of tools, instruments, and equipment.” The psychologist splits them into two roles, Operators (ISTP and ESTP) are proactive and skilled at expediting, and Entertainers (ISFP and ESFP) who are reactive and skilled at improvising.
