I agree.
I'd correlate Type 8 on both Te and Se. If I were to rank all the 8 functions in terms of assertivity, Te and Se would definitely both be at the top 2. Though I would clearly separate what traits are caused by the JCF vs which traits are caused by enneagram since once again, extraverted thinking is not enneagram type 8 and Te is in its purest form is simply logic derived/applied to the external world and not a set of enneagram traits. I find that socionics in its current form are intermingling enneagram type 8 and extraverted sensation way too much beyond what I consider to be realistic.
That does not imply that Se is more powerful than other functions. It only implies that Se supplies you with a set of possible actions to take in the present moment unadulterated by the passage of time. Acquiring power takes more than raw Se data. It requires other functions (especially a judging function).
Yes, though I find some speculations to be more plausible than others.
I agree that Te and Se together would constitute Type 8 in terms of JCF correlations.
You are right, it does not imply that Se is more powerful than other functions, as it isn't. It is simply defined in Socionics as being able to see the power of objects in the environment statically. Therefore, Se types are able to quickly determine an efficient, profitable path due to the fact that they see the immediate power and allure of resources and objects at their disposal, meaning that they are able to capitalize on them and utilize every bit of their power. I often find myself comparing the Socionics Pe functions in general to the entrepreneur for this reason.
Indeed, some speculations are more plausible than others.
