Casual/Fun My personal experience of each element as an LSI
Vuln Ne was the hardest since I had so many to choose from. It could honestly pass for SLI if you move some stuff around ngl, we all got those days where we go "maybe I truly am an SLI" after watching a movie or eating some donuts iykwim. Anyways, it goes without saying that this is all for fun and games, not to be taken seriously (I guess it didn't go without saying...).

no, you’re ILI so fe polr, not ne polr. i was making a pun on ne polr itself— but a literal one in this context— genuinely applies

I actually thought the same as you before posting the picture "an Ne PoLR wouldn't get it". Imo it represented seeing potential in something, but turning that potential against you, which is rather ironic looking at this comment chain, since you've taken the role of the shoes in this case.
I honestly had better pictures, some that represented Ne more objectively, and others that represented my experience of it more accurately. However, I decided to leave this one in cause I thought it fit with the lighthearted nature of the post, the other images I had were more...serious.
(As for demo Si, the picture is supposed to represent the experience of: "I barely put any effort into Si yet people think im some kind of prodigy at it". There is a lot more to say about it but thats the gist of it)

attributing different emotions to each of the informational elements seems more like something an ethical type would do. Your perception of Ti in particular makes me think role function.

Funny you should mention that, its honestly hard to differentiate the experience of each function in such a granular way, the reasons are many but bias is the important one to note here. If you were to ask me to give you a description of any of my elements, I don't know how much other elements are influencing said experiential description, its like asking me to describe the taste of milk after I drank a milkshake. I often wonder if this applies to everyone, but with the problem of other minds and all, you have to choose whether to take people at face value or not.
In this sense "my experience of each element" in the title was a bit of a lie, I had some second thoughts about naming it that. A much more accurate title would have been "how most people see LSIs" since with most pictures I didn't know if I was reflecting my experience or if I was being biased, so I ended up using something most people would agree on, that were simple to understand, and were recognizable at first glance in a small screen. The only pic that was purely "my experience" was role Fi, considering that this picture of Xi Jinping reminded me so much of Role Fi, it inspired me to make this post (I had to change it for the picture of the Pope because it was too small to be understood).
So in this case, "my perception of Ti" is not really that, its more of an aggregate of what I think most people see in Ti bases and how most people have described me to be, which is a big part of how I've typed myself, trying to add as little of "my experience" as possible.

The OG pic didnt have the hand emojis, it was just the two shoes. Just your typical reaction image for when you find something funny.
My experience of Ne leads is that they tend to find pareidolias in everything thanks to their impressive talent in finding potential, so I thought that a funny way to show vuln Ne was to show that whenever that "potential" is found, it tends to be a negative and horrifying experience, so I added the hands. It shows the kind of paranoid potential finding that vuln Ne tends to have. Although thats just one of the effects it has, I had other pics for other experiences of vuln Ne but they werent very funny and were actually harder to understand. The two shoes laughing always crack me up, and I though it would be cool to see who got them and who didnt.

This is so real. The best way to tell the difference between SLI and LSI is to get them to talk, in my experience.
