Why do i do it?
switching words around..

Ex.. i was thinking: if you don`t eat dinner you get skinny.
What i did say: if you don`t eat dinner you get slim.

I do this shit all the time... And sometimes it turns out bad.

How hard can it be to say skinny when thats what your thinking right?
Related to dyslexia or something? (im denying that im having that :p)

Also since where at it.. My boss says.. grab a banana and take a seat.
Grabs a apple, becomes aware of it and takes a banana too. eats both if you care.

Holly shit I used to do that too.

I wanted to say a word, but I didn't say that specific word, I said something similar or the complete opposite.

You're thinking logically, using ideas instead of words.

Skinny and slim are similar.

I think it's called... hyperlexia.

I have trouble with it too. Except I think in pictures and main points, instead of words and details. :/

Asking me to verbally spell something or say numbers is BAD.

Yeah... In the inner mind world, it seems so precise, but trying to say it often feels like ... destroying the idea, taking it apart, and just being able to show it partly. :/

That's because you use your right hemisphere more than the left, using symbols, words, numbers is considered a left brain hemisphere thingy. (but not entirely).

Ne doms are generally right brain dominant resulting in randomness and non linear processing.

Think of how you're thought to learn in school, that's linear.

Most Ni-ers do it all the time. We switch up words and order like the mad people we are!

I don't think it's type related...I mean it is ...but I don't know how much.

^i'd agree with that train of thought. i think that's how intuitive and feeling processes work. whereas sensing and thinking are on the left... or maybe it's split up with Ne, Se, Fi, Ti on the right and Ni, Si, Fe, Te on the left. :thinking:

What about switching the letters in a sentence? Example:

"The ship has sailed", becomes:
"The sip has shailed". And shit like that.

Annoying as fuck because it really interrupts your flow of speech.

Most NTs I have known have this issue, Mat. I wouldn't say you're NOT and INTJ - there isn't enough evidence to counter this claim just yet.

Personally, I feel using *big* words in sentences comes off tangible with personal growth, and development. Some times, I need to briefly check the word's definition (on google, for instance) to know what it means. It requires a little bit of practise, and I feel people need to apply this kind of language, generally, any how.

In layman`s terms that means?

Today, I was talking to my boss and said "imperial" evidence, realizing it was wrong, but sounded similar to the word I wanted, and it took me a second to realize I wanted to say "empirical." Gah. I hate that kind of stuff. You know it's wrong, and you know what concept you're trying to convey, but your brain is on a roll and it won't stop to pick up the correct word, so a soundalike stands in for it. I wanted to come back later and say, "I'm sorry, I really do know the difference between those two words." He knew what I meant, though.

the only thing I suffer from is momentarily memory loss of names of people, words and so on. Sometimes even with family members names. I know what I want to say but memorybank dont comply.
