The part of the psyche responsible for a person's physical state and the satisfaction of basic needs such as food, drink, sleep, clothing, and rest, ensuring all these elements are harmoniously balanced. Bodily relaxation. A harmonious appearance—not to be confused with showiness or flashiness, but rather, everything should match well and remain stable.

They are very particular about clothes being not only neat and harmonious but also fitting well on the body. Aesthetics and health in one.

This function seeks a harmonious, balanced proportion. For example, if it's food, it should not be too salty or too sweet, with all tastes harmoniously combined. Or in clothing—not too flashy like a parrot, but not neglected and untidy. They seek a golden mean in everything and try to maintain it.

SLI: Will keep improving what feels good. Getting comfortable, adjusting the environment to oneself, ensuring no one disturbs. More attention to health. More inclined towards natural products and settings. Maximization of comfort.

SEI: Removes discomfort to feel good. Treating illness, eliminating discomfort in everyday life, avoiding unpleasant extremes, and finding a golden mean. Minimization of discomfort.

Introverted Si: Focusing on the present moment and avoiding unpleasant thoughts and sensations, restoring health through rest.

Extraverted Si: Routine care for maintaining environmental balance, health, and the well-being of oneself and one’s close environment.
