Nope. I do annoying things but I really don't have that particular attitude.
From The Lenore Thomson Exegesis Wiki
Do you think she is just pinning these ideas to tertiary Ni without any justification, or are her ideas about the role of Ni justified?
No, I don't identify with it. And I don't buy the theory that Sensors have these intuitive processes so close to the surface. I know I don't, and I think there are many other people like me in that area.
You can stretch any thought, word or deed into being caused by any function, if you try hard enough. Students of literature and composition know better than anyone that if you want to justify a given interpretation of anything, you can.
That's why applying functional theory to others doesn't tend to work very well; you don't have enough insight without that person's subjective experience to accurately describe internalized motivations.
That's why you must ask yourself the question. Do you feel tertiary functions negatively affect your perception or judgment?

I know one ISFP that exactly matches this description of having tertiary Ni. Also know an ISTP that does, too. The making assumptions about things based on little information. (They do this all the time! To everyone!) Not just once in a while.
