Its based upon my observations over time not a jump. Also its why the preface of personal opinion was listed.
I don't believe in the whole TiNi loop thing. That may explain moments in an ISTPs life (Ni creeps in as paranoia and doubt) but not a prolonged period of time. That makes no sense (to me). When under stress I have escaped into Ti (without Ni) or Se ( without Ti filters) not skipped it and gone to Ni and lingered there.
If someone is typing themselves as ISTP in a "loop" they are mistyped. But I can understand why people would not agree with this. There seems to be two sides on the loop issues. People who believe it and those who don't. So that's where I'm coming from.
I thought MDP2525 brought up a very good point here. I actually have a thread revolving around this TiNi loop thing, which is titled: Who thinks I'am an ISTP? Vote for this if you believe it! Loops seem to be a way of inventing explaining for things we don't understand the prime causes for, kind of like how people called the Earth flat, or how people would call lightningbolts God's divine wrath.
Of course, I could be wrong, and there could be at least a little something to this loop theory, but it seems like a weak foundation to base a whole typing argument on. So what do you folks think about Dom/Tert Loops: Real or Fake?
