^ Makes sense to Fi due to the rapidity of connection-making you have been doing, also illustrating Ne.
Look at your post style over the past few pages.
FWIW or not, I've not once thought "yeghor is INFP" in this discussion or at any other time in any interaction or observation of him. While I'm not some sort of authority on who is or isn't INFP, I do have pretty intense experience with the INFP/INFJ differences as they play out in my closest personal relationship, and I have had to work pretty hard to understand the INFP cognitive function stack. Of course, everyone is different and cognitive processes are only part of the picture in any of us. I've also had pretty close personal connections with several other Fi doms (ISFP and/or INFP), though that was before I knew about MBTI and is me thinking about it in retrospect.
So all of that said, for what it is or isn't worth: I've not once had the thought that yeghor is a Fi dom.
[edit]
Hmmm, two people think that? I wonder why it didn't ping my radar at all as such. I know my experience is limited, but seriously - I've seen my partner under all sorts of stress. I've seen her in a Fi-Si loop, I've seen her in scary hardcore ruts created by Te-inf feeding Fi, and other stuff I don't have clear words for ... and none of it has had anything like the display and energy that yeghor has been doing here.
This feels like watching Frankenstein's monster being put together...
I look on in fascination, but am also tempted to vomit at times.
The Frankenstein monster's analogy resonates somewhat with what I've been observing. (as does the fascination/vomit response)
Another metaphor that's come up for me about how yeghor deals with information is a funnel cloud like in a tornado. The cloud hungrily (in this case, actually kind of desperately) sucks people's energy and information into itself, crudely reduces everything it sucks in into tiny pieces of debris, and spits the debris out several miles away from where it started (for clarity: I don't know if that's exactly how
real funnel clouds work, it's just a metaphor for me, using funnel cloud as an anchor to put words to an inner dynamic image).
Well yeah, there's that.
There is one conclusion to be drawn from here, and that is your utilization of strong Ji.
Is an unhealthy Ti-dom situation possible in your view? Or would it have to be Fi?
Note:[edit] as I think I mentioned in another comment earlier in the thread, the problem I have with that is that yeghor's comments on this site about Ni so very often seriously miss the mark of what that function is and it's really hard for me to get my understanding around a Ni-dom who IMO so clearly and persistently demonstrates that he does not understand what Ni actually is. There are lots of examples of this in various threads, and it shows up in different ways, but here's an example that I noticed yesterday from another thread:
And here's a quick indicator for high N, do you daydream and fantasize a lot? As for Ni, do you have an overdeveloped inner critic that constantly berates you for your shortcomings and mistakes, lowering your self-esteem?
Now, I personally don't think that yeghor is actually talking about introverted intuition at all, I think he's mapping something unrelated to introverted intuition by the name of this cognitive process as part of whatever is off in how he's dealing with external information/reality.
And, too, I don't know what I think of the Beebe and/or Behrens-Nardi shadow function stuff one way or another, so I may be using it wrong (someone please correct me if so).
But for the sake of "why not" and playing with the concepts a bit ... if by some (unlikely IMO) chance yeghor is actually talking about how he experiences actual Ni in that quote above, and if the shadow function stuff is right, would Ni as described/experienced above be in the critical parent and/or senex position, the 6th function in the stack? And if that were the case
*off to look at which types have Ni in that position*
Well, damn, knock me over with a feather - INFP and INTP.
I just - I myself really cannot see INFP for yeghor. Not saying I'm right (I may not be) but sheesh, I'd think there'd be something recognizable to me as INFP somewhere in there. And while I don't know him personally, I have had some sustained PM discussions with him, various interactions in various threads, and even discussed some of the dynamics with my INFP partner.
Anyway, for me the MBTI/typing stuff is more idle curiosity and playing with concepts than anything substantive in this case. My take is: Whatever the situation, whatever the type, something is very very wrong/twisted/distorted, IMO something that isn't directly sourced to cognitive processes (though it may be using cognitive processes somehow). I do wonder if the specifics of that will come out into the open in a clearly named way. And yeah, like [MENTION=8413]Zarathustra[/MENTION] said, "
