Underdeveloped Te is the reason why you can be harshly critical of your own creative work when you are attempting to determine how others may view it. Underdeveloped Te is the reason why you secretly fear that others will perceive you as incompetent, and you take extreme measures to ensure you are coming across as well read and intelligent in conversation. Underdeveloped Te is the reason why you occasionally apply black-and-white thinking to your judgments of people who display immoral or ignorant characteristics. Underdeveloped Te is the reason why you have a tendency to convince yourself that you’ve failed to live up to other people’s standards and beat yourself up over it (even if those standards were never expressed by the other people in question). Underdeveloped Te is the reason why you are quick to pick up on small errors others make in spelling or logical reasoning and deem them incompetent as a result –because you take extreme care to avoid such errors yourself.
