So since I'm sick at home right now, I'm fucking around way too much on this forum today, and people are telling me they think I'm an ENTP. Which potentially makes sense - I know I've got Ne and some Ti, but one little problem - I have no Si to speak of. NONE - as in absolute zero, -273.15 Celsius.
How would the confirmed ENTPs here rate their Si?
Me too, I'm supposed to be working on something I shoulda finished last week, but it's something I hate doing.
I was gonna say close to zero Si for me, but then I read this:

Introverted Sensing often involves storing data and information, then comparing and contrasting the current situation with similar ones. The immediate experience or words are instantly linked with the prior experiences, and we register a similarity or a difference—for example, noticing that some food doesn’t taste the same or is saltier than it usually is. Introverted Sensing is also operating when we see someone who reminds us of someone else. Sometimes a feeling associated with the recalled image comes into our awareness along with the information itself. Then the image can be so strong, our body responds as if reliving the experience. The process also involves reviewing the past to draw on the lessons of history, hindsight, and experience. With introverted Sensing, there is often great attention to detail and getting a clear picture of goals and objectives and what is to happen. There can be a oneness with ageless customs that help sustain civilization and culture and protect what is known and long-lasting, even while what is reliable changes.
Mine started waking up in my late teens, but it's been a long, slow process. I do get the "reminds me of" phenomenon quite often, though.
But the clear picture of goals and objectives and how to get from A to B is something I struggle with. I easily get the clear picture of goals and objectives, and can zoom from A to B and imagine the finished product and the
major things that need to be done to get there, but I really struggle with expanding on the details. I know what they are, but somehow it is painful to make my brain go through that process because it feels SOOOOO mundane to me.
I have major ADD when trying to force myself through those thought processes and need to take a 5 min break away from it for every 2 min of Si work.
However, when looking for mistakes, somehow the mistakes jump off the page at me, so I don't have that problem when reviewing things that have already been done. Would that be Ti, or would that be a form of Si that I have somehow managed to develop?
Also, when writing things, I have trouble expanding on things that I've already summarized. I'm really good at editing and summarizing and can do it quickly, but I really struggle to expand on things when people want more details. I can't figure out which details are important and what they want to hear about, because to me, the important info is already covered in the summary. Forcing myself through that thought process is also like pulling teeth sometimes. Is that Si?
. tomorrow I'll surprise them and order something different.
