グレンコが書いたSEI(ISFJ)

She can work productively only if she is working for herself, towards her own goals. In all other cases, she doesn’t overburden herself with work, avoids strenuous physical exertion, and doesn’t force herself to do anything. In the later case, SEI may earn the reputation of being a “talented slacker.”
