[MBTI General] How do you Develop Extroverted Intuition

[professor goodstain]

If one has the essentials, hike to at least 10 different alpine lakes. One will sooner or later notice each different one has its own personality. Almost to the extent a human does. If one can't see (intuit) the different personalities then try to give them an adjective or two in a personal sense. No two are very similar. Problem now is, come summer, i'll be trying to type them. Thanks mbti.

Go surf wikipedia.

Like many of the other suggestions from Ne types, this also seems to be assuming that the Ne is already there for the Ne stuff to happen in the Ne gluttony type places.

I see my ISTJ friend going on wiki all the time. But he doesn't Ne it up, not at all. He meticulously reads detailed articles and takes notes and remembers all the facts, then p̂rints things out "for reference". In the time it takes him to do that with one article, I've daisy-chained my way through a dozen, following links and ending up with a big picture view of a very wide area of knowledge, whilst he now knows lots of indepth detail about one single thing.

Again nothing wrong with either approach, just one's Ne and one isn't. Just telling someone to go to wiki isn't going to make them use their Ne while they're there.

Just say the crazy shit you think. Then try actually doing some of your crazy ideas. Thats what i did and i'm now an eNTP!

I noticed once you went from INTP to eNTP you started to say, "me no do this, that" versus, "I don't..."

eNTP are silly but not forced silly, ya know.

Hahahaha!

I hadn't noticed that myself actually but you have a point. I do think that way a lot though now.

Improvisational theater is pretty good exercise -- it's all about snatching bits of information, following them, twisting them, and ultimately building a sort of order out of the chaos.

That's the only kind of acting I was ever any good at. Way easier than memorizing a script.

My cousin took an improv comedy course. He is a lot more extroverted now, and I think he is also quicker on the Ne...

I don't really think functions can be developed. You are who you are to a certain extent.

I doubt anyone can learn mental processes which are instinctual and automatic. I'd love some Se so I'd stop walking into poles, but it's not gonna happen.

Break something and physically work through putting it back together, reassembling it by physical learning, trial and error, process of elimination.

Make a mistake on purpose and deal with the outcome in a social setting, working it out with another person, bumping ideas off them to sort through to an answer which makes sense.

Sure, but to give to let an intp out in the world with the advice "develop your Ne" wont help him at all either. I know I didnt find the right words to tell him what to do, but thats basically because I dont know him. Therefore I could only say: never say "develop your Ne", cause then people will think you are a freak

Yeah, but you develop conscious functions by using them.
And different activities require uses of different functions. (Sure, some are more open-ended than others, like surfing the internet, but that doesn't mean they all are. Kind of like... solving a physics problem requires a strong degree of analytical thinking.)

And since everyone is different, everyone develops lesser functions in a different way.
Asking a question like the OP may not be very helpful to you, but for those with a dominant Ti, sorting these activities through function analysis helps confirm their importance by backing them with reasoning.

Personally. Going through the day thinking things like, "today I'm going to develop Ne!" has definitely helped make me less of a social freak.

Wolfy started a thread here referencing to Dario Nardi's book. There is a quick quiz at the beginning of each chapter on functions. You can determine how developed the function is. From that it gives tips on how to develop the function from that point. I have heard nothing but good things about the book, but I have not been able to find it locally and do not want to pay the shipping charges.

You let your mind lose! Get in touch w/feelings, experiences, present and past thoughts, and just let your mind go where it will.
