This is probably a good place to put some thoughts I've had lately, is it right to say that Ti deals with chaos a lot better than Te, what I mean is Te reduces complexity (or disregards its existence) and by doing that allows or encourages the Te user to make long term plans. Does Te generally see existence as ultimately simple and stable (and therefore able to be planned and controlled easily), and the Ti user generally sees existence as ultimately complex and dynamic (and therefore hard to plan and control easily).
Nup, I wouldn't say existence is simple or stable. I would say that I'm content to simplify what I say about why something is true. That's either a result of relying on Ni or a result of Te itself slimming expression down for efficiency. That's about all I know to say. Trying to make a difference between Te and Ti is mysterious to me beyond having made this joke:
Te: for saying things that make people go "eww!"
You have Ne/Ti for that.
Te is a "Too much information!' kind of eww. Ne/Ti is "You're just making that up!"
WTH
I don't get it.
what if things don't work out as planned, then what you do?
Well, see, NTJs tend to consider everything "out there" to be fair game for chat. If it's not part of their inner-focused psychology, then it's "out there" and they can talk about it, especially if it's part of some kind of physical system. That's to say, they don't just focus on thinking about stuff outside themselves, they extrovert that thinking: they say stuff. And other people say, "Eww, what? No, I didn't want to know about your itch, thanks so much!"
But what NTJs tend to blurt out also tends to be true, probably because it's a product of Te, and doing whatever the hell Te does to promote true/false distinctions outside the inner-focused parts of the person. Seems like STJs do this too.
Illuminating? Probably not.
Maybe the best I can come up with is a recent thought that where Ti is basically solipsistic and follows truth connections from one conclusion to the next, Te claims conclusions rooted in a (probably) acknowledged physical reality.
But I may have just made that up.
