Roger Pearman talks about Ni-doms and how they act in the grip of their inferior extraverted sensing in his book, "I'm Not Crazy, I'm Just You". Here is a quote from the book which I found interesting.
Extraverted sensing has the natural strength of collecting evidence from the environment – people things, places. The fluid experience of information enables those using Extraverted Sensing to describe experiences well. But in it’s compensatory form, extraverted sensing leads to incorrect deductions from a single fact... There is no step-by-step logical leading to the conclusion; It is as if the conclusion already existed and merely required the observation of a random fact to allow it to be arrived at.
I think we normally have pretty decent insights. I am curious though - for non Ni-doms (non INXJ) - do you see us (INTJ and INFJs) doing this? INTJs and INFJs - do you realize you do this? Please elaborate.
