Oh, and I also have Si, and I was also struck by the "demonic" function - not by the forgetting things part (even though that's true ), but by the "hallucinations" part. I'll THINK I forgot someone's name (even if I didn't), and I'll get really uncertain about it, even when I've known them for a long time, thinking that I just imagined that that was their name. That may sound kind of weird, but there you go.

EDIT: I also punch holes in people's ideas... People often call me a bubble-burster...

The description of my Trickster Te is also very accurate (misguidance in organizing things more efficiently). I can easily get lost within a system when trying to organise my life. For example, I have tried out (and abandoned) numerous time management systems over the years. What tends to happen is this:

1. I get very excited by the new system, which will save me so much time that my life will be forever improved.
2. I start to try it out for a few activities.
2. I tell all my friends about it.
4. I use it for more and more things.
5. I start tinkering with the system and spend a great deal of time drawing up charts and designing spreadsheets.
6. I start using it for EVERYTHING.
7. I wake up and realise that I have wasted so much time on the new system that I have fallen way behind with all my work!
8. I descend into a mad panic as I run around in circles desperately trying to catch up.
9. I abandon the system forever.
