Have you tried tuning out Fe and just focus on using Ti to understand and direct Ni exploration? It wouldn't get you the same experience as an NT (since you're not Ni Te or Ti Ne) but it's close? I find that approach to work when trying to understand the NT perspective.
It's kind of like withholding judgment until later, this so call "turning off" Fe. The thoughts may run through your head, but you don't let it stop your current line of thoughts.
Actually, that's how I think most of the time, which is why I thought I had an idea of the NT perspective. But then I kind of worried... well, what if I don't
really have an idea of it, because an NTs Feeling is more tied up with inferior or tertiary Sensing, and thus they experience emotions in a completely different way than NFs do? Or what if my Thinking works very differently than theirs because it's more tied to Sensing rather than any form of Intuition?
So basically, I guess was trying to figure out if NTs have feelings about ideas and abstractions like NFs do, or whether their feelings are limited to underdeveloped versions of SF-style feelings and values (even though I wouldn't have considered this before).
It was mostly prompted by simulatedworld, I guess... because he implied that NTs don't think about guilt, and since he sees being bothered by crime having positive results as lamenting an amoral world, he even made me question whether they even value justice, security, and consistency (which I know is ridiculous, but it crossed my mind for a moment).
Athenian, I find that Ne dominant's understanding of Ni can be very off the mark. I agree with you that Forty six & 2 is not about Ni at all.
Ah, this is reassuring. He really did make me afraid that NTs experience Ni THAT differently
Here's what I wrote on INTJf when I went there to ask how they'd describe impersonal Ni:
"My impression was that it just sounds like a lot of cathartic, pseudo-intellectual nonsense that glorifies idealizing and striving for the sake of the object rather than the idea... in other words, Ne in a different form with Ti or Fi mixed in. It just seems to glorify purposeless expansion and striving, and it truly annoys me to have this associated with Ni."
It's funny. When I talk to INTJs, or some INTPs, I'm left with the impression that NTs are awesome, interesting, likable, and easy to relate to... just a little oblivious to their own and/or other people's feelings. But when I talk to some ENTx types, or a very particular kind of crude INTx, I think their motivations are totally alien and scary (though some ENTPs give me the same impression as an INTx).
That's funny, because I still think you ARE an NT.
Nope, I'm just an Introverted N.
We tend to look a little bit like NTs on the surface, but we're totally different. A lot of people think that, though. My Fe doesn't come through well online.
