It's pretty much how I relate to them. I can't really see the deeper things I guess. Granted I haven't read as much about it as mbti, mostly because the surface vagueness tells me there might not be anything deeper, and so it feels like a waste of time. I mean, deeper things are listed, but they don't really help me type myself, so it's useless for me at this point. Maybe I could decide if I read a lot more and really looked at it in depth.This may be the 9 ego defense in the works. It's similar to the vagueness that is described of the 4 identity. What I see here is relating to a shell of the types and never fully further going down. It's a bit telling of how you relate to the types.
I definitely have a need to know. That's the purpose behind this type exploration. But I also enjoy the process of looking for answers and producing detailed results. I have a need to know in everything, in a Ti sort of way. I have to know the core principles of how things work if I have an interest in the area or if I have to do something. I have burning curiosity about the inner workings of reality (which is why I'm studying philosophy). This is the characteristic I said I couldn't subtract from myself and still be me.Maybe you can reveal how you react to stresses. If you identify with 5 and 6, then how does your mind work? Is there a "need to know?" And if you don't have enough information, how do you feel?
In response to how my mind works, it's Ti+Ne+Ni+Fe pretty much in that order (plus Si in there somewhere for stored information). I create cohesive structured systems to map reality, in a concrete and meta level. It's like a computer filing system plus the internet, along with some human relational elements and symbology.
Edit: Oh if I don't have enough information: first I suspend judgment and don't make a definite decision. Then I search for more information and ask questions. Then I examine the information I have and see what makes sense to me. If I have an intuitive idea I'll see if I can produce an explanation for it based on the information which is there.
In response to stress: Look up inferior Fe and it's me. Plus I eat sugar and listen to music and daydream.
No, not at all. At least that I'm aware. Which might not mean anything. hahaThere's another type... the social 9.
Sorry if this stuff is out of the blue. I know this is likely meant for public participation, but I get the feeling sometimes that I tend to "crash the party uninvited," so to speak. I'm lacking in appropriateness somewhere, not sure.
Thanks for the info.
