So I was doing some introspecting and this thread idea came to me. I searched, and there's some threads similiar, but not what I'm looking for.
Basically, describe how you think. Interpret this how you want.
For me:
So my Ti tries to figure things out. I can't really consciously see the inner workings of the process, but it's basically like solving a jigsaw puzzle.
You have a jigsaw puzzle, and you know the size of it, but you don't know what it's going to look like when it's finished. You have some pieces already in place, but there's a lot of holes everywhere. So I have a "sense" of what the final outcome is, but I don't know specifically what it is. I then ask myself questions that narrow down what I'm looking for. Equivalent to zooming in on a specific piece of the puzzle. I keep asking questions until I've zoomed down to the level of a single piece. So now I know the shape of the piece, my Ne/Si/whatever goes and finds the piece. If I'm lucky, the piece is connected to some others too. Then I move on to another area of the puzzle. Eventually enough pieces are filled in that you pretty much know what the picture is, although you can never find all the pieces. The puzzle is too big, and the pieces too well hidden.
SO YEAH N STUFF.
