hey iv met this intj guy who has a very bad te,or undeveloped te.hes been in and out of hospital for the use of drugs affecting his mind,i noticed that its difficult for him to translate his insights into words.hes thinking is completly non verbal or logical,so when he tries to translate his insights he has no form to put it in,so i comes out in theres very stange ways,almost like someone who never learnt any language trying to describe there ideas?
intjs if you had a very undeveloped te,do you think your ni-fi would be difficult to translate to others?
So what are you really asking? Whether INTJs could have undeveloped Te? Or if it would be difficult to communicate their emotions to others? One question could lead into another but I’m seeing your post as two separate questions only because I don’t see the second question as having to rely on the first being true. I’ve known a couple INTJs in real life well, and I can say that they had no deficit in Te, however, requesting them to pull something from their Fi is often met with, “I’ll have to get back to youâ€â€™.
For me, I can’t always identify what I am feeling and will have to sit on them a while to figure them out, especially if I’m experiencing something new, but it doesn’t usually take me very long to know exactly what it is and how to then communicate that to others. The Ne, and Fi being my aux function, I feel, gives me access to those emotions, and values, quite readily. Pair Fi with Ni though, and I could only imagine the sort of “black hole†they must sort through to find the single flame of light within it. (The analogy relates to faintness and vague definition, not lack of warmth or depth in this use)
Or, is there potentially a more general problem with the situation here? Are you requesting his insights before they’ve sat with them long enough to be able to put it to words? You can’t rush Ni or just “throw it out there†like you can with Ne, otherwise you MAY just receive jibberish.
Ya...you see, this is why I needed to clarify your question, I could easily take this post in so many directions and answer the same question from hundreds of perspectives and frames of reference
