The Adventurer | Perceiving Function | "Experience it now."
Extraverted Sensing (Se) is a perceiving function that engages directly with the present moment through the five senses. It is attuned to the physical environment, aesthetics, and immediate opportunities.
Under extreme stress, Se-dominants may fall into the grip of inferior Ni, becoming paranoid about meanings, obsessing over singular interpretations, or withdrawing completely.
The opposite of Extraverted Sensing is Introverted Sensing (Si). While Se focuses on perceiving information through sensing, Introverted takes the opposite approach.
