Ni Awareness of Symbolic Meaning
Psyche with this introvertedly intuitive psyhological function is aware somewhat instinctively whether the subject/the person comphrehend/doesn’t symbolic meaning. It is an awareness that can be a starting point to further search for symbolic understanding. When a psyche is not aware of whether it doesn’t/does understand the symbolic meaning, it is unlikely that the psyche will seek for it; instead, It is highly likely that it will ignore it.
If the psyche is determined to understand the meaning of symbol, the natural response of the psyche should be to search for the meaning. Since symbolic misunderstanding is potentially problematic, A serious attempt should be undertaken to understand it, if the person is determined to understand what the symbol means. I remember in working a research paper, I downloaded from the net a lot of mathematical symbol with its meaning from the net, even though my research paper had nothing to do with it. To download mathematical notation with its meaning was an irrelevant activity to do although it was happened. What I am aware of is that there is always meaning of the symbols. However, the problem is that I am not always aware of is what their spesific meaning is.
A Symbolic Mathematical Notation
The "=" is read “is equal toâ€. The symbol denotes meaning “is equal to†also, the
+â€is read plus, means “to addâ€,
“ -“ read minus, means “to substractâ€. When someone changes symbol, the meaning will also change. As what I learn from Math, When a symbol shows itself, it needs to be understood before we will be able to take action based on the Symbol. Trying to solve mathematical problem without comphrehending what the symbol of operation means won’t be possible. Like when “+†is there, what we have to do is to add the number before and after the plus sign and if there is no “=†written, we shouldn’t write down the result.
Symbolic Hyeroglyph & Mesopotamian Character
There could be a lot of symbols utilized outside mathematics.When I was in the sixth grade elementary school, I was copying Hyeroglyph to an agenda book, trying to understand the Egyptian Hyeroglyph which, by nature, is symbolic. But, Merely copying Egyptian Hyeroglyph to an agenda book could not make me understand the symbols. I didn’t conduct any research to understand it, because I couldn’t. In six grade of elementary school, I did not go to the local library to find any litterature. I hadn’t been introduced to the internet. If I am not mistaken, google, the search engine hadn’t been founded by Lary Page and his co-founder Sergey Brin. Google was initially established one year after the event. So it was not actionable for me to browse by googling. But that event signifies that I have grown an enthusiasm in symbolic things when I was a kid: Egyptian Hyeroglypgh, Mesopotamian writing.
Function of Symbol
The function of using Symbol is to convey meaning in a much shorter way than saying it in words. It is also used for saving time, since writing it in a full sentences spend more time and also spaces. Writing â€=†required much shorter time than writing “is equal to†even though it conveys the same meaning. Furthermore,
writing down “=†requires lesser space than fully writing down “is equal toâ€. However, the meaning of the symbols, is usually not written down to near to the symbol. It is frequently ommitted instead. So only the psyche who can decipher that meaning can gain the correct understanding of the symbol.
##Symbols can denote a lot of meanings in just one picture. One symbols can convey a lot of meanings to the dechiperer. However the meaning that is grasped depends on how many meaning the psyche can be aware of. It is possible that there is meaning that is left not grasped.
Symbol can be correctly understood but it can also be misunderstood. When I am aware that there is a symbol, what I should do is to seek for meaning and be aware that I can also misunderstood the symbol.
Egyptian Hyeroglyph Stone Carver and Jung’s Time is a child
Jung’s Stone Carving: “Time is a Child†is also symbolic which meaning can be comphrehended with psyche with introverted intuitive and they will be the type that will get attracted to it to the extent to which they will try to comprehend the meaning.
I am inclined to say that the Hieroglyph stone carver that carved the ancient writing thousands years ago with Jung must have been gifted with the same Psychological functions although they may differ with structure of dominant,aux, etc, since both of them have been able to accomplish the similar work: a stone carving. Since Jung main was authors of his psychological theories, with which made him identified as Ni-Fe, Jung must have used his Ti, as his tertiary function paired with Se, when he carved the stone several decades ago. But the hieroglyph stone carver could have used Ti Primary-Se auxiliary when finishing the his carving thousands years ago although the hieroglyph stone carver may also have used Ni-Fe, Ti-Se. I just can't tell that because I have never read the same psychological/spiritual written by the ancient egyptian Priest work as I read Jung's even though I have heard that the ancient egyptian has some spiritual writing like the "book of the dead"

An Archeologist Ought to Be A psyche With Ni
Ancient stone carvings will eventually be discovered by Archeologist. Archeologist who is naturally inclined to comphrehend or dechiper the meaning of symbolic ancient writing and stone carving like the Egyptian hieroglyph is likely to have an Ni. There are 8 types with Ni: ESFP, ESTP, ENFJ, ENTJ, ISTP, INFJ, ISFP, INTJ. But, since archeological research tends to demand physical and outdoor work, like shown in the movie and game: Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider, their dominant psychological functions to work enthusiastically without grief of draining or exhausting has to be the Extrovert sensation.
P.S I copied the hieroglyph by hand writing. Neither did I use a photocopy machine, printing machine, nor any mechanical or electronic device. At the time I did that, I did that without any assignment from a teacher.
