Here ya go:
Steph's explanations were spot on. Thanks for sharing those!
I related to alot of what Nunki said. Si shows its head in three forms with me.
1) As a rewind tape to review old conversations and experiences. Usually highly detailed, and sometimes I notice things in memory that I missed in the moment. It's freaky when it's something like, "Oh wait a minute... Frank was there?!?"
2) Establish habits and routines. I'm not happiest when I'm a slave to them, but I need them to relax a bit so I can get lost in my Fi world.
3) Looking at social constructs as a giant machine, with each part like a gear. A desire to understand the roles and places of people and things. Valuing the appropriateness of my actions in a greater societal context.
I'm improving a little bit too. Reading self-help books (like The Now Habit) has been a real help, and I expect my problems to leave altogether once I have external motivations. At the moment, there's no pressure whatsoever and only some very distant rewards, so in a way it's hardly a surprise that I have trouble with Te.
Basically, there are certain things I have to do each day or my self-esteem (Fi) will suffer. Sometimes I'll spend many minutes and even hours wasting my time, and all the while a pressure to do something productive will build up inside of me. At some point this pressure becomes unbearable, and so I relieve it by getting down to business. As a natural side-effect, Ne (and Se) get put on hold or at least channeled into whatever activity I'm doing. It sounds like this would lead to an irregular schedule, but somehow everything falls into a general routine without any real thought on my part.Amargith said:

I'm really bored, so I thought I'd post this from the same book I used to post on the ENFP thread
Hope that's a good starting point!
Peace: If I ever do go bi, I'll call ya..I like my own breed when it comes to my own gender

Tertiary Si: Find relief with introverted Sensing (INTP/INFP)
They often enjoy activities like revisiting places they've been, ideas they've explored, and the history of their family, their organization, or even their culture. They collect detailed information about what interests them and may devote time to researching the past to build on what others have already done. They may be drawn to collect memorabilia or keep extensive records of activities and interests. They recognize familiar subtle sensory elements such as tastes, aromas, and spellings. In the physical world, they take comfort in familiarity. They may avoid or resist new experiences preferring to have new experiences match the old ones that were enjoyable.
When Younger, they tend not to remember details or put much stock in expected results based on past experience. As they grow, they find they have acquired a rich storehouse of memories, and they learn to recall with accurate detail how something was before and will likely review the past to see what lessons can be learned from it. They often go from avoiding participation in traditions and holidays to genuinely enjoying these.
Engaging in introverted Sensing can be unsettling and disruptive at times. They can give too much detail or become too focused on reviewing the past and what's established as valid, even if it is for lessons learned. Or they may end up collecting endless quantities of miscellaneous items that give them comfort in their familiarity but clutter their physical lives.
Hope that's a good starting point!
