[NF] i finaly got something about introverted intuition.

[chado]

ok so my initial understand of ni was right from the begining,all my reading about ni made me become confused by this is what i initially thought
intuition is a perceiving function and when i first learned about mbti i thought ok if extroverted intuition is a perceiving function then introverted intuition is also
..
my ne works subconsiously and on its own i never try to find connections or come up with ideas,so its perceiving they just appear by themself and then afterwards id analyze them internaly with my fi..so i figure that ne is more loose free flowing making connections never trying to force it,it just happens best when left byitself ect hence a perceiving function
jidgment funcitons like fi is more consious,more controled organized and trying to peice things together logialy
..
so i figure that ni must just be the same in reverse externaly an intj would be more control 'there'consious' putting things together piece by piece ect
and internalaly they more free,letting ideas and connections form by themselfs,or unconsiously,just observing the insights that come hence a perceiving function, just letting the mind form its own insights,without being there or more in a let go free state,and then only judging the insights through there ti or fi Tertiary function and then comunicating it through fe or te...am i right here?hence a perceiving function?

Yes, according to Jung the contents of perceiving functions appear 'given'.
Rational functions derive and reason through to their conclusion/content.

The e of Ne focuses on the potential of external objects. For Ni the i focuses on internal objects (such as inner imagery/symbols).


Now ones dominant function is under conscious control or 'willed'. The contents of the inferior by contrast are imposed on the individual uncontrollably (it either affects you or it doesn't, you can't simply focus on this perspective by choice).
For intuition I take this as being able, by choice, to be aware of potential/possibilities and to trust it. This is not 'forcing' connections.


This is more a Jungian perspective. Ni and Ne may differ based on other functional definitions.

Right. And because the perceiving function is "N", it's largely perceiving ideas and patterns, not concrete things and details.

So comparisons and contrasts of tangibly... what? Whatever the world extroverts via the connected extroverted Function?

Ideas and patterns doesn't seem very distinct. Concrete patterns and ideas exist. They also exist for different aspects of the objective world.
