No, actually, you're wrong.
Have you spent even a second reading Jung?
- Ni is also about what is, it deals with the mental models of how reality operates.
It deals with
possibilities.
Yes, it does try to narrow those down to that which is most likely/most likely to happen.
And that is, in some way, largely due to its two-sides-of-the-same-coin connection to Se.
Regardless, it's, as Jung said of the iNtuitive functions, about
possibilities.
- also, Si is not about what is. Si is an internal standard of how things should be. it is a storehouse of internal standards by which reality is measured against, not what actually is.
Si is about one's internal reactions to
what is.
It is
not about possibilities.
It is about one concrete sensation.
That one concrete sensation is
what is.
essentially
Ne: what could be
Ni: what is, in the sense of how everything fits together in reality
Se: what is, tangibly speaking
Si: a standard by which what is is measured against
Your definitions here are shit.
Se is the closest.
Si is pretty off.
Ni is only partially correct.
Ne is only partially correct.
I've never been in an argument (let alone a discussion, really) with you, but I have seen other people express their exasperation at being so, and embarking on that journey for the first time doesn't seem like my idea of continuing my otherwise pleasant Sunday afternoon/evening. You are simply wrong, though, in not understanding that N functions are about possibilities, and S functions are about what is. That is straight from Jung's mouth in 'Psychological Types'. Is there some truth you're pointing to in your definitions/arguments? Yes. But if you don't understand the fundamental truism that N functions are about
possibilities and S functions are about
what is, then you're on the wrong foot from the very get-go. If you have that proper footing, then you can properly understand how some of the stuff you ascribed to some of the perceiving function-attitudes does indeed fit into the bigger picture. Without that fundamental understanding, though, you will never properly understand the functions.
