Introverted Sensation (Si) Type by Jung | IIEE | Jungian ISXP ISFP ISTP | Internal presence
Credits to Carl Jung (Psychological Types) for the descriptions. Example of Jung Si: Frank James (ndr: don’t get fooled by his Ne-f public persona).
Si types are natively perceivers by nature due to having a sensate irrational main frame (playful revealers of inner conditions) that sets the primary demands. As reflex most commonly Si types would get P in MBTI tests, although at times may score as borderline P/J for whatever reason... In rarer occasions such individuals may test or be mistaken for MBTI J when having a long rational aux. In third case to observers and tester the auxiliary is more noticeable than the dominant. However, if you ask the person, he/she will report that the dominant function (S) is the main life theme... and just doesn’t look that way when observed by others or in testing instruments.

Sharing some reflections of mine about the MBTI community and what’s overall wrong with it including the infamous Grant stack BS:
Si-Ne: experience, perspective vs progression, possibility

When Si type individuals move to stage 4 of differentiation, the alternatives are between:
Si-f [jungian ISFP, Si-Fi-Te-Ne by Jung terms, 4T Phleg-Sang, F aux informative, often SEI in socio]: “People from this type are full of different tastes for some ranges of things, which includes tastes for food, tastes for interior designs, etc. Being one of the most subjective of all types, this type values very much their own experiences and experiences of intimate others, and usually have strong tastes into how they should arrange their own inner environment, as they partially work as a means of self-expression. People from this type usually does not like to pressure others and are general frank and respectful on their close friend relationship circle and also tends to keep their promises.“ Example: Lady Gaga [ndr: don’t get fooled by her Fe-s public persona], Juan Sandoval/Auburn (Cognitive Typology) [ndr: long aux] and Junichiro Tanizaki.
Si-t [jungian ISTP, Si-Ti-Fe-Ne by Jung terms, 4T Melan-Sang, T aux pragmatic, often SLI in socio] : “People from this type see themselves as very practical and usually put a lot of value into turning their own intimate and close environment, which might includes their room, or their house, and partially work-space, into a place that looks practical and rationally useful, but also looks of a good taste. This type also likes to solve daily and routine & ordinary problems of life, and like to be in control of their intimate spaces and things. Some people from this type might be a little bit over-materialistic.“ (Vendrah, Typology Triad). Example: Katniss Everdeen (The Hunger Games) [movie version]

When most MBTI people refer to “Si“ they don’t talk about Jung Si. They are typically describing manifestation of sensation in sensing auxiliary in Jung with themes like familiarity and tradition. Such individuals are often referred as Guardians (SJ) in Kiersey.
“Sticking labels on people at first sight is nothing but a childish parlor game. My typology is... not in any sense to stick labels on people at first sight. It is not a physiognomy and not an anthropological system, but a critical psychology dealing with the organization and delimitation of psychic processes that can be shown to be typical. My typology is based exclusively on psychological premises which can hardly coincide with physiological or somatic qualities.” —C.G. Jung

Keep in mind that motivations are enneagram territory [check Katherine Fauvre] and that agreeableness/disagreeableness is linked to heart attitude.
Also remember that socionics is NOT Jung’s original work. Socio is mostly enneagram based () plus it has different definitions from Jung including Kepinski info metabolism considerations added to the mix as I pointed here:
