Considerazioni Importanti

Your Te dominance can become authoritarian if you prioritize compliance over understanding. People follow better when they understand why.
Under extreme stress, the Fi grip may manifest as uncharacteristic emotional sensitivity, value crises, or feeling that your competence does not matter.
Your respect for tradition (Si) can become resistance to necessary change. Not all innovations are threats to order.
Beware of the Te-Ne loop: generating solutions without adequate reflection or consideration of established wisdom.
Your directness, while efficient, can damage relationships if you do not consider emotional impact.
High standards for others without equal self-examination creates resentment and perceived hypocrisy.
Efficiency in processes does not guarantee effectiveness in outcomes that require human buy-in.
Being the most responsible person in the room does not mean you should carry all burdens alone.
