Introduction
In my time as an established member on this forum I have received many PMs and questions, from both old members and new, about Si. Si gets a lot of flack on the internet and is incredibly unjustly stereotyped as a function, and unfortunately, there are not many SJs around to defend it (or themselves, as SJs in general are often randomly despised). I find myself often repeating the same explanations, finding the same threads, over and over again to aid me in helping others understand this function.
I figured it would be a good idea to start a sort of "workshop" where I can gather information, materials, sources, and post my own musings about what Si is and how it works. This can benefit not only those who wander into my PM box with questions and myself (who likes to organize thoughts), but anyone who is curious enough to want to see and to learn. And who better to learn about Si from than an Si dom?
The reason this is in the member blogs section and not the MBTI section is because
- I'm not sure if I will update this often enough to keep it on the first few pages and I don't want to lose it, and
- I want full control over this thread, and only blogs and support/advice threads give the OP that sort of power
Other Si valuing types are also wonderful additions to this space and very welcome to share their interpretations, experiences, etc. and how it may differ from my own. They're also free to share their own original musings and observations about Si.
If you are going to comment in this space, be respectful. I can and will have any harmful or rude posts or comments removed. This is a space dedicated to learning about Si, not bashing SJs. Feel free to disagree with others and their opinions but don't make it personal and don't bash an entire category of people needlessly.
I'm not going to have any sort of regular posting or update schedule. Any time I find helpful resources or have a sudden insight about Si, I will share them here, and you are all welcome to as well, as long as you follow my rules.
I will be back shortly to start off with a few links to very helpful Si-related threads.
