It's funny, but playing fighting games opened up an interesting little window into the world of cognitive functions in action.
Eventaully, I talked to my INTJ brother about why it was that I did so much better than him at fighting games. He said that, in general, he wasn't very good at them, because as he played, he would elaborately plan out a course of action in his head. Of course, in a fighting game, the odds that everything would go as planned for you is extremely low. Secondly, it takes too much mental focus to plan like that, when you need to be paying attention to the present.
I thought this was interesting as I compared it to my own approach. When I play fightings games, I store in my mind a large compilation of principles and guidelines. Something to the effect of "if he does that, I do this", "if my life is in the red, and the timer is low, I'll change to this tactic", "If I'm using this character against that character, don't bother using this move" etc..
It seems that my little formula system is much, much more effective than my brother's system. Probably because it allows me to react the situation at hand. It makes my style flexible and modular.
Now, is this an example of the INTJ thinking process versus the INTP one? Because it really seems like it is.
