LSE: Logical Sensory Extrovert
Quadra: Delta
Cognitive Functions
Description
Pragmatic and efficient organizer
Overview
The LSE personality type is characterized by a distinctive cognitive function stack that shapes their behavior and thought processes. In the Ego block, their dominant function is Extraverted Thinking (Te), which drives their constant focus on efficiency, practicality, and getting things done. They are pragmatic individuals who excel at organizing people and resources, often taking charge in situations requiring clear direction and structure. This is supported by their auxiliary function, Introverted Sensing (Si), which helps them maintain awareness of physical comfort, daily needs, and environmental organization. Together, these conscious and valued functions make LSEs natural managers and administrators, always seeking to optimize processes and achieve tangible results.
Super-Ego Block
In the Super-ego block, LSEs have Extraverted Feeling (Fe) as their role function and Introverted Intuition (Ni) as their vulnerable function. These conscious but not valued functions represent areas of difficulty for LSEs. They may struggle with expressing emotions and creating emotional atmospheres (Fe), often appearing formal and businesslike in their interactions. They have an even harder time with long-term visioning and foreseeing future developments (Ni), preferring to focus on concrete, immediate tasks rather than abstract possibilities.
Super-Id Block
The Super-id block contains Introverted Feeling (Fi) as the suggestive function and Extraverted Intuition (Ne) as the mobilizing function. These unconscious but valued functions represent areas of aspiration and growth for LSEs. They often need help with understanding and navigating personal relationships and values (Fi), and desire to explore different possibilities and potential outcomes (Ne), though they may struggle to generate these ideas independently at first.
Id Block
Lastly, in the Id block, LSEs have Introverted Thinking (Ti) as the ignoring function and Extraverted Sensing (Se) as the demonstrative function. These unconscious and not valued functions operate in the background. LSEs tend to resist abstract logical frameworks (Ti) but can use them when necessary. They are capable of using force or pushing people (Se) but don't value or enjoy doing so, preferring to achieve results through organization and efficiency.
Subtypes
LSEs with SP1 tendencies channel their Te-Si focus into an intense preoccupation with personal security, correctness, and perfecting their immediate environment. They have an exaggerated need for foresight and control, often engaging in extensive planning and preparation to prevent potential problems.

They have a keen 'nose for opportunities' and are always alert to potential advantages. Unlike other Three subtypes, they may present a more modest exterior, avoiding overt displays of vanity.
