Although I engage my Ni much more often and score much higher in Ni on CF tests, Ne is what really makes me happy. I just suck at it.




Who's with me?! :)

Ne makes me goofy and silly. Si is what makes me happy and peaceful :)

Sometimes, when I engage in Si, like thinking of pleasant memories, I also feel contented and peaceful. I mean, there's a wistfulness to those memories, but it's a wistfulness without a sense of sorrow or loss, just happiness,. And Ne also makes me goofy and silly. Maybe that's just the "energy" of the functions.

Hmmm....

I'm sort of with you, in any case I tend to score Ni and then Ne the highest. Even over Si....:doh:

Ne equates to temporary, escapist-y type stress-relief for me, in my mind. Somehow. It's happy-inducing, but short-lived, and I sometimes regret it afterward. Maybe in this way, it's sort of like the inferior Se overindulgence in sensory activities seen in stressed out INxJs. I don't know. It's a characteristically different kind of "happy" than my comfortable, usual happy I feel when I'm doing something that draws on certain strengths I have as afforded to me due at least in part to my being an Si-dom.

(Also, Ne-doms in proximity to me [and my Fe-ness] can have that same effect on me. :) ENxPs always seem to know exactly what to do and say to make me feel good when I am stressed [at least for a little while, before it becomes annoying :D] I don't know if it's incidental or purposeful; on account of [the interaction between our respective] functional preferences, non-function-related peopley factors, both, neither, or something else entirely. But whatever the case may be, I can love me some Ne, and [usually] those who live and thrive in it.)

And now I want to give smothery Fe :hug:'s to all the Ne-doms.

:wubbie:

Ok, so how did you SJ's respond to my use of Ne in this thread? And are you irritated by me performing an experiment on to satisfy my own curiosity? (If so, I must apologize.)

The walrus and the stupid mushroom wizard from Troll.

Those were examples of me displaying Ne in this thread, were they not?

From my experience, most Si doms dislike Ne, but many Si aux's are okay with Ne.

Awesome.

SEE? SJs and NTs can get along!


The more I study about functions and typology in depth, the more convinced I am that S hatred is the hallmark of people who don't actually know anything about typology and what it means.

:huh:

The ":huh:" isn't in direct response to your "use of Ne," but my confusion about what the hell posting pictures of a walrus and a troll (or the walrus and the troll themselves [?], or the fact that you chose to post pictures of those or any things at all [?]) have to do with Ne--nevermind how it's "displaying" it? How is it even possible to display a cognitive function? What am I misunderstanding?

And are you irritated by me performing an experiment on to satisfy my own curiosity? (If so, I must apologize.)

Uh. Possibly? What is this experiment?

I wanted to see how SJ's react to my random-ass Ne humor.(Although, granted, I can do better than a walrus and mushrooom troll picture) It's Ne humor, because it involves putting things in that are deliberately out of context. I suppose a good way of explaining Ne humor is that a Ne user looks at the pattern (or lack thereof) itself as funny. Perhaps there's also a bit of a gestalt mechanism involved of filling in the blanks, as well. But largely I think that we like that kind of humor because it's so unexpected and out of left field.

Also, the act of performing an experiment like that is itself kind of Ne. It's altering one aspect of the dynamic of a situation just for seeing what emerges, which is another definition/use of Ne I've come across.

Oh, ok. Thank you for explaining. I think I took it too literally; it seemed like you were actually defining Ne AS that "randomness/silliness/goofiness."

I feel like "gently" used Si/Ne is very comforting... too much Si and my head spins, but when we can float Si and Ne back and forth, it's cozy and fun...

Yes, I like it, usually in the mid-intensity range at the most. But Ne is best left as humor to me, or exploration, not as reliable info as a foundation.

I didn't know what you were doing with the walrus and creature thing, was mildly amused / ignoring it as off-topic. Maybe because I skimmed rather than read.

If it's any consolation, I didn't understand it either, though it made me laugh. :shrug:

Must be particularly INTP-flavored Ne. :)
