I've read through this entire thread, looked at the video and admit to being confused. How do you know either INFJ or INTJ is right?
How would you describe Ni and why do you feel you are Ni dominant? How do you know for example that you're not Si, Fi, or Ti dominant?
I'd hate to use generalities, but it's the typical "Ni" things that you see on the internet. I don't have 'visions' nor am I a fortune teller but I have a lot of instances where I will just have the answer to something without any facts on the particular situation and perhaps then I can work back to it and also I am able to see how something is going to go down. For example, I remember two years ago when I shocked my girl of interest when I told her how one person was going to react to another person when he walked into the room. It was a fairly complex set of actions (Walking up to her, making conversation, she get distracted, he starts getting mad and starts distancing herself from her to get her attention, and then eventually) and I had only known both of the people for 8 hours at the most. I can see a lot of things from various view points which helps me with making contingency plans, since I already know what's the most likely thing to fail.
I don't believe I'm a Si dom because it's a function I really don't care to use. I don't look to the past and compare to the present. I'm always looking for new experiences and looking towards the future.
Fi dominant? Well....I picture a Fi dominant person as someone who always knows how they are feeling immediately and they follow their heart more than anything. I try to make the 'logical' choice when it involves my feelings, if that makes sense? It's not out of the question, I suppose.
Ti dominant? I'm just...not that analytical. I've had discussion with many INTPs/ENTPs and my thought patterns just seem...different. I try to focus on the big picture and they'll focus on the details. Together, we're great but when we're arguing with each other, it can tend to drag on a while. The INTP will apply his details to a real world large model and I will apply my top down view with actual concrete details.
Se dominant? I'm not all that dexterous, I love feeling sensations and such, but I don't think I live purely for the moment.
Fe dominant? Quite frankly, I don't feel like I understand Fe enough to make a decision on this one. Fe in the dominant role tends to want to take care of people to the detriment of the self, sometimes. I ...feel like everyone should be capable of living a full and prosperous life, by themselves. With that being said, I'll help my friends and family, I'll even take care of them. But I would only do this for a select few individuals, my family (and I consider family to be of the people I choose to be close to me, not blood necessarily. Although there is a high correlation.) and I'm not sure if that has anything to do with type. Fe also has expectations about how people should act, I don't really. I know how
I should act. If people are rude, that's life, if they cross me, I'll likely ignore them or cuss them out. I don't really 'care' about how people act, they can do what they want, but I am also aware about how people view actions. With that being said, I do care a bit about how people view me.
Te dominant: I've seen ENTJs. I just know! lol
Ne dominant: I can have a very one track mind at times. Once I get an idea something is right, I'll think about other possibilities but I'll likely stick to the one that I 'jumped" too. That's not the behavior of a Ne dominant person.
That does sound more Fi than Fe.
Aleksei and I have been talking about Fi and Fe lately. I'm confused. People like to bend it ever so slightly depending on what type it is.
I don't think this is the right way to view the core difference between Ti and Te. I see it several times spread through the thread.
Te = Contingency planning/Practical application
Ti = Detail oriented/Seeking for the most correct answer?
