I'm trying to fully wrap my mind around the difference in Ti versus Te thinking and communication. I've read so many different things about it that as soon as I think I understand I end up questioning the nature of my understanding once again.
Here are a few brief summaries of the way I've read them described:
Ti: Processes information in the external world so that it can be incorporated into their own internal patterns, schemas, and ideas. Subjective and not necessarily interested in how things are in reality; more interested in perfecting their subjective understanding of information.
Te: Processes information in the external world so that it can be objectively defined and described. Wants to be able to put order to objective information in a logical and undeniably objective/universal sense.
.....................................................................
Ti: Comes to conclusions based on a logical sequence of ideas that necessarily follow each other and usually can't be disputed by pure logic. Ex: A+B+C=D
Better at distinguishing specific flaws in a system, but often is inclined to miss the overall picture or general idea. May take longer to come to conclusion, but usually ends up correct because of making sure each logical step is valid (validity is never assumed).
Te: Comes to conclusions quickly, concerned with meeting the end goal rather than establishing specific steps. Formula more equatable to: A=D. May base decisions off of faulty premises because of lack of consideration of validity of each step in a process.
I'm not terribly great at reiterating what I have learned so far, but this is the gist of what I've heard.
I'm interested in general discussion about the Te/Ti functions, what their form of communication looks like/how it can be detected when one is being used over the other, and how to help Te and Ti thinkers communicate effectively.
I'm MOST interested in Fi/Te and Fe/Ti discussion, but I don't want narrow the thread down that much just yet
