Fe tells you how you should act, so NeFe would make you act strange because of all the possibilities(at least for INTP with inferior Fe)

ENTP probably wouldn't be as weird with a stronger Fe

besides using NeSe would be pretty confusing considering they're both perceiving

TiNe - true self
TiSi - really uncomfortable and detached
SiFe - uncomfortable but trying to act normal (this is really exhausting for me)
NeFe - overly excited and playful (only around those I'm extremely comfortable with)

I have the impression I have learned a lot about myself and the human world only by reading this, thanks man.

And Costrin, very nice profile, not as "ambigous" (how the f#ck is that written??) as other profiles which are more popular: I am waitin for you to finish the ISTP one so I can show it to my ISTP roommate. And laugh at him.

:D.


EDIT: Shouldn't I add my perspective?
After reading the posts of jenocyde and Azseroffs (number of non-vowel characters exceeded!) maybe you find my experience interesting: I work at a technology foundation, part of our work is to readily help people with their computer problems, teaching them, somehow caring. More than I'd like to I feel (now I can identify it) like wearing the SiFe mask, the personality of someone with the feet on the ground who cares for the people that come asking advice and assistance. And well, that's not me. And yes it's exhausting. We also deal with bills, incoming money and that stuff -ultimate TiSi- and with activity planning and executing, design and cool NeTi things.

Truth and Question:
Truth is, I don't know if I enter SiFe mode because I like to do a better work for the foundation or if I just want to please people and give them what they want. Question is, what do you think, people? :)

Excuse me if I went off-topic. And my english.

Costrin....You are diabolicle in the best possible form. Upon reading, i blipped on "subjective details are considered irrelevent". Right after scrolling up, yet again, to see the title of the thread after more information was received.

Upon reading "INTPs generally don't show their Ti to others" i instantaniously resorted to an ESTJ i seen for a few months and (all of a sudden) figured out that i withheld my Ti from her from the getgo. Paid off pretty big. Thanks Ne.

Upon reading "Ne gives a drive toward uniqueness" I spontaniously deducted my Ne to possiple genetics due to everyone before me one the Ne side had extreme Ne. Thus comming from "Ne is all about taking in information from the external world and following the tangents"

Your good Costrin. i would explain the rest but i'll step aside for a moment with which to supress that freak next door labeled Fe.

Please allow my Fe to say "you better not stand up The Cos come time the date nears. even if someone is late." My Ne ensenses fatal karmic doom for the standupper. Observe that last statement. Compare and contrast with the sentance just after Extroverted intuition.

but, but ,but...... my confirmed observations regarding my functions that explain my own behaviors can't be THAT primitvely thrown together!!! I'd know...... right?!?

PS: Hi Costrin.... you said nothing new, but A for effort OK!??

Actually I think we show our Ti a lot more than we realize, because the functions are unconscious so we can never exactly no what function we are using or combination for that matter.

I think I present my Ti when I am in an area where I am unfamiliar with or uncomfortable, and present my Ne when I am comfortable. Basically it is about even for me.

"It's our Fe that tells us who we should be" Snor......

PS: Once again, good work Cos. It did hit the sweet spot between ambiguity and specific.

I would assume that if you really are in SiFe, you are trying to give people what they want since that is one of Fe's priorities and not so much Ti's.

I am here by chance now and I wanted to ask, do you think this one of my favourite porn stars could be intp by chance ?

jada_fire.jpg


She always seems something like reserved in some of her movies, like she is just fullfilling a choosen purpose for the public and then goes on living her own life. Could maybe the whole porn industry be a fake orgasm in the end, doing it intp style, working their purpose and then retreat back to wonderland in the end ?

Or am I overanalyzing ?

(pretty far catch to compare intp behaviour to the porn industry, but its a nice Ne cling isnt it ? :D)

That was very helpful, I always suspected I was an INTP, but the brief sketches always seemed too shallow so I tried INFJ, INFP, ENTP but something just didn't ring true. This made a lot more sense.

INTP
Si Fe - ISFJ
Fe Si - ESFJ

It makes more sense to see it that way for me, the prioritization is important I think.

The way I've seen it, is that when I'm forced to operate in ways unnatural to me, especially with that Fe - intense social situations, emotional arguments, the like - it has a habit of bringing the Fe to the forefront, the Si now secondary. Ti is put on the backburner in favor of the touchy-feely stuff.
Draining, amirite?
When I'm putting on that mask, compensating for the gaps in my social skills, and forcing myself out of the cozy Ti-Si privacy screen, inevitably I head for an awkward facsimile of the ESFJ persona. Not ISFJ, with a primary sensing function.

/nitpicking

INTPs sure enjoy our run-on sentences, don't we. heh

INTP PROFILE, YO

Introverted iNtuitive Thinking Perceiver
(that's me!)

Ti-Ne-Si-Fe
...

Introverted Thinking: "Analyzing and determining the essence of the gathered information."
This is the INTPs primary mode of thinking. This function colors everything they do. What Ti does it essentially recreate the external universe internally. It takes in information, and compares it to information already assimilated to determine where it belongs. It's basically a highly complex puzzle-solver. This function is not linear, and it's logic can't easily be explained to others. This function is reductionist, ie, it gets down the essence of a problem and finds the piece of the puzzle that fits there. This is different from say Ni, which tries to find as many perspectives as possible to any situation.


Extraverted Intuition: "AND THEN THE ALIEN EXPLODED INTO A THOUSAND CANDY MUSHROOMS THEN MARIO CAME AND ATE THEM AND GOT FAT AND VOMITED ON YOU. THEN YOU DIED. THE END."
The INTPs primary information gathering function and primary way of interacting with the world. Ne is all about taking in information from the external world and following the tangents. It creates countless new ideas, possibilities, contexts, and courses of action. Ne gives a drive toward uniqueness, toward expressing and unleashing new things into the world. The majority of the information that Ne gathers is taken by Ti for analyzing and judging. This provides the broad context and universal perspective that an INTPs Ti needs. However, when Ne gets pushed to the forefront, all the crazy ideas that it comes up with are released upon the world. This, combined with the deatchment of Ti is what makes INTPs be seen as the weirdest type.

This function also leads to the breadth of knowledge that an INTP accumulates. Ne goes from one new thing to another, funneling information to Ti for analyzing. When the rate of new information for Ti to analyze slows down, Ne moves on to something else. Ne is also the primary way that INTPs help others. They give many possible solutions to a problem. Ne also acts the way to unlock the INTPs inferior, Fe. Ne teams up with and aids Fe.


could someone help me understand the Ne function in relation to Ti and our general Pness?--- (i'm an an INTP) i find that i do like to see patterns and gather information in the external universe, and that internally i am comparing observations, analyzing my findings and synthesizing new potential conclusions, but i am doing so not to find a truth or even just an interesting truth, but to acquire as many perspectives as possible---though still distilling my observations in a reductionist fashion. i always assumed that this was a sort of P function applied to thinking. why would Ti limit my exploration if i have the ability to keep shifting first postulates or input or change the forms of analysis or philosphical approaches to achieve different conclusions --- the observable world is very rarely static and analytical approaches are many..


it has been my impression that the infj's i know are attempting to slot information and patterns they have gathered externally--- usually selected for their objective fact like characteristics--- into an overriding static architecture---a monolithic ideological construct that is essentially unwavering --- they are choosing data from the external world to bolster and flesh out their internal construct and often choosing forms of analysis that will support said ideology---aren't they Ni?


so confused.....could you smart kids help me out here?

I dont understand your question. Are you asking about how the P from MBTI is associated with the Jungian function Ne?

I can tell you that Ne pattern recognition/extrapolation works in parallels. You'll apply the concepts that define the relationship between two variables in one system to another system, check if the relation makes rational sense, and then extrapolate. Ni's will try to make analogies between relationships of known systems to unknown systems. We'll dwell on a subject, second guess ourselves, test and retest a concept. Ne's will "waste" a lot of time doing this.

In my opinion, Ni's don't go into as much depth as Ne's. They collect peoples' views/opinions and past outcomes for the situation of interest. Then they'll compare and contrast the data they collected and choose the best option for the outcome they want. Then they move on to the next choice they have to make. Once and Ni has made up their mind its hard to get them to change, but they are much more productive than we are. I hope this answered your question.
