Yes. Because each individual has different experiences and has accumulated different information, the Ti models of each will be different. This isn't as likely to spawn conflict though, as it is debate. Only if the two individuals disagree on foundational assumptions would there be likely to be conflict. The model is constantly up for renegotiation, but deeper assimilated information is harder to dislodge.
In general, yes, that's the thing -- differences result from differences in initial assumptions and data input. The rational processes themselves use the same 'rules'... which is why this is Ti we are describing and not Fi.
okay so what if you are a super insecure NTP? Then do you feel the need to trump other folks Ti? How does edcation level, status, academic credentials play into the "stability" of the foundation of deeper assimiliated knowledge?
People who focus on Ti exclusively and who are weak in other areas (notably social functioning ones) will try to leverage their primary in order to gain social mobility and power. It usually becomes all about being validated by others for one's intelligence and rationality.
Other functions can provide more of a bridge in terms of helping one relate to other people in ways the majority can perceive and understand. And when one is secure with oneself and others, the need for validation goes away anyway.
Ti cannot be "egocentric" because Ti has no Ego, lameass! Ego is a COMPOSITION of inputs (IE all functions) that yields your concious mind.
"Lameass" is irrational. Apparently Ti can be muddied down by various flavors of invective that have nothing to do with the logic of the statements.
HOWEVER, I think I intuit what you meant to ask here and I reply as such: No, Ti is not selfish or single-minded.... Ti "just doesn't care" about self-sustainment or others, period. Ti is a "crosscheck" mechanism that yields either a "pass" or "fail" result in varying degrees, no special passes warranted.
i think you're failing to consider the notion of "will" and "ego" apart from function use.
The function is the tool.
The will is the directing force.
Now, I do agree that Ti in itself is what you've said it is: A crosscheck mechanism that flags data with probabilities of accuracy and then draws conclusions with those probabilities generated and attached.
This whole thread and others like it make me want to start my official "why I hate the cognitive functions" thread..... ppl just start attributing ANY FUCKING THING to some arbitrary I/E function.... it's bullshit
That's nice.
Tone it down, please.... or take it elsewhere.
