I keep being told that I'm probably an SJ of some type but...I just can't completely relate. Something is off.
From what I understand about Si is that it has a focus on our internal system of senses. It also focuses on past experiences- i.e., what you find in the past that, for you, has worked and has not worked...what terrible experiences would you like to avoid again, etc. Furthermore, it is "detail oriented". I get confused when people say that sharp memories =/= Si, but it seems that many of you can remember specifics about your past experiences. If something comes up that triggers a memory, Si is almost like a surgeon, slicing deeper and deeper into the layers of your brain to reconstruct that particular memory associated with the present in detail.
However, while I am sure I have Si somewhere in my stack, I am not sure what it looks like on the higher end of the spectrum vs the lower end. Do you care to share your day to day interactions with Si?
