Nah, it's Fi/Se/Ni/TeYeah, I'd think music is more Ni.
Anti, well, my music teachers back in grade school all said I had a "gift" for understanding music. The people in my band (both school band and out-of-school) think I have that "talent" too. Music theory really works well for my Si-Te combination, as it puts my inner impressions of the notes and tones (Si?) into a working system (Te).
What I'm not good at is making up my own music. I really struggle with that, and those same people mentioned above are surprised by the obvious gap. So it's not all easy sailing for me, I have some big obstacles.
Yeah; that's RELIEF Si, alright!I hAVE a question: would this be Si: Like I'll be walking around and something will remind me of the past and then part of my mind will think I'm in 2004 in some other city and I have to keep reminding myself that it's 2008 and this is Chicago. It's like I smell the smells and hear the sounds of the other place aswell as my age I feel younger (cuz I'm in the past). Or is that Ne or something else entirely. same thing happens with certain pictures.
When trying to write original music, I think I use my Si and Ne together as a "fake Ni". I bring together pieces and variations of things I already know. This still isn't easy, because Ne is my 4th function and so is pretty weak.Yeah, I'd think music is more Ni.

You mean "muscle memory"? Like the way an athlete remembers the "feel" of a body position being the "right" position? This is something I was thinking about mentioning. I think it's kind of borderline Se/Si, which makes more sense if you believe (as many people do) that there's no clear line between the extroverted "side" of a function and the introverted "side".And is it also responsible for motoric memory?

So Eric, like those times when I'm half-asleep and I forget that I'm in my dorm instead of my bedroom (which is back home in another state), and for a few seconds I feel disoriented, with the outside world clashing with my memories--is that another example of Si, or...doesn't that happen to everyone when they're half-asleep?
Along with their solid and evident virtues, they have one odd and charming quality that may not be apparent until they are very well known. Their sense impressions cause a vivid private reaction to the essence of the thing sensed. The reaction is all their own and unpredictable. It is impossible to know what droll and unexpected associations of ideas take place behind their outer calm. Only when they are "off duty"--relaxing from extraversion, responsibility and the judging attitude---will they sometimes give spontaneous expression to this inner perception. Then they may say what comes into their minds and give others a glimpse of their perceptions and associations, which may be absurd, irreverent, touching, or hilarious, but never predictable, because their way of sensing life is intensely individual."
Yeah. I suppose my music listening experience is more Ti/Ne/Fi/Si/Se/Fe/Ni/Te, if you want to get technical. Or maybe I'm just crazy!Yeah, this is ISFP, "The Composer", I guess.
It appears every individual experiences music in a different way, so NF, NT, and I guess SJ will all have their unique experience of how they see music. I'm sounding INFJ...
Probably. Te is a very strong function, I'm sure you feel it too, it being our 2nd function. Since that's our best extroverted function, that's what most people see of us ISJs. But the Si should come out when we're not interacting our environment, and more just observing it and being in it. Our relaxed state.From this paragraph, can it be inferred then that this "off-duty" mode is when we're no longer controlling the external environment with Te, and instead we're interacting with it through Si?
To varying degrees, but I think the Si dominant person might take it for granted that they remember and relate to details so accurately.We've had a lot of discussion about what the Sensing factor is (S vs. N), but we haven't had much discussion at all about the specific Si function (Introverted Sensing). We often hear that it is "memory of details" or something similar. But we all remember details, don't we? So I hope to explore this in more depth.
Thanks, this part made sense to me.toonia said:The sensing I do have tends towards the extroverted sort. Because of this a given experience is taken in like a child who has never experienced it before. I have few preconceived notions about how something should taste, feel, look, or sound. From what I understand the Introverted Sensor has strong associations with concrete experience. This might have some relationship to a type of nostalgia. Having a certain dish at Thanksgiving has great significance. Recreating experiences through the senses is an important drive. I think there is a natural inclination towards accuracy, consistency, and recreation associated with Si which can be applied to most everything including sensory experience, information, and emotion.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean! My Si goes nuts around ENFPs, I start remembering all kinds of stupid crap.Try having an ENFP English teacher while having a dominant Si.
