As someone who has been typing on the forums for years, I become quite intolerant of the intellectual untruths that are thrown around by intuitive types. I think at least for myself, and other ISP types that I have spoken with, we find it humorous that intuitives just don't get it and appear to lack knowledge of type basic principles. Again, each type uses all eight functions in some capacity, so what you describe above is not only untruthful, but just dead wrong. Now you are describing I/E. How many EN types do you see lurking on the forums? And this is more a J/P thing. Do you truly think that SPs are incapable of adapting? I do agree that we like things to be consistent, however there is no evidence or indication that NJs adapt better than SPs. There was an article on the Socionics website years ago, that provides a good illustration of how J/P works. As you can see, it is the Judging types who are incapable of adapting. Once again, for whatever reasons this forum fails to be capable of making the finer distinction between intuitive and sensing. |
I'm a bit perplexed. First of all, Ti is my
tertiary function, so I couldn't have been describing it. Also, I know the difference between SJ's and SP's. SJ's are judicious, prompt, and regimented, and value institutions, and specific procedures. SP's are chaotic, random, aggressive, and rather tasteless. What they both have in common is a tendancy to have more of an awareness of what happens, rather than it's meaning. They just learn how to do things, but they don't usually try to discover the meaning or the principle behind the things they do or the things that exist, they are just accepted as standards (for SJ's) or as realities (for SP's). They react to them differently, the SJ's trying to maintain things the way they've seen them before, and the SP's just dealing with it as existing, and doing with it whatever makes them feel good at the moment, without pausing to contemplate what it represents. I wasn't talking about adapting to your environment, that's what SP's excel at. I was talking about understanding the
meaning or
purpose behind what you do, rather than merely the procedure or object (for SJ's), or the event or process (for SP's) I apologize for my unclear word choices.
You are right that all types use all functions, but the point is that using anything other than your first two or three functions (dominant, auxiliary, and tertiary) is very uncomfortable or difficult. My point was to illustrate that both types need each other, not to imply that Sensors are worthless. Didn't you see that?
