Hello Everybody:
As a 3W4/ISTJ, I grew up believing in the E1 myth. You know what I mean: rational, dispassionate, objective.... Like everybody else, as I got older, I found that its not so clear. There are some real world factors that make life necessarily subjective:
1. Too much information, trying to decide what is important is subjective. This the bane of modeling-what factors best mirror the concrete world....
2. Important data is missing, or not clear. This leads to trying to bridge the gaps by conjucture, or trying to weigh how important the missing data might be....
3. Getting the sequence of events correct. Ofetn we are faced with the end result. How did it get that way? Science asks DID it have to end up that way? ( What are the alternatives, and why was that unique one ,the one actualized? )
4. People trying to hide, distort, lie, or mislead about the person, events, cause, etc.
In try to type real people and fictious characters, these are the problems that we face every time we try!
