For anybody with low Se

So I was watching a few videos about the functions, and the presenter happened to be an ENTJ (TeNiSeFi). What I noticed in the videos is that he tends to slip up on pronunciations from time to time but just ends up rolling with it. And I know he slips up on them because there’s no possible way to pronounce a “d” like a “b” (unless he’s dyslexic, but I thought that was a reading disability rather than speaking); and he pronounces them correctly the next time around. I’m wondering if this is a low Se thing to do and if it pertains to Se clumsiness.

Presuming I’m a low Si-user, I don’t slip up on pronunciations, but I do tend to stop myself in the middle of a conversation to figure out what word I’m trying to use. If I’m pronouncing something wrong, it’s more likely because I’ve always pronounced it this way rather than actually slipping up on it. (And because no one has ever tried to correct me lol; I’m prone to referring to the dictionary and finding I’ve been pronouncing something wrong all my life.)

I don’t have a tendency of typing people in real life unless it’s glaringly obvious or if they remind me of MBTI. So when people slip up on words, I don’t know if this is general people behavior or if it applies to either the Si or Se function.

So if no one got my question exactly, here it is again: are low Se-users more likely to slip up while talking than a low Si-user would? If Si is introverted, it would make sense that they’d pause in conversation trying to figure out the words but don’t always have to because they know what they’re going to say (Ne). If Se is extroverted, it would make sense that they’d let slip-ups slide because they always know they could make up for it in the future (Ni).

Any Se-user is welcome to comment. And any Si-user could comment if they like in case you guys noticed this too.
