I'm probably not using the right word, or at least, there's a better word for it. When I say "ego" I mean the psyche, so if it is "egotistical", its origins are from within - directly contrasted against origins supported by an environment. A priori reasoning has evidence withdrawn from the equation, therefore, introverted intuition is the purest theoretical form of ego regarding personality.
The thing about this is that if you use your reasoning, almost every type will be at the very least equally capable in this regard, giving INTJ's no real advantage in terms of reconciling beliefs to existence. Even ISFP's would be better learners, with auxiliary Se (Se is better than Te, 'tis true, though they are notably similar in scope). Two exclusions might be xNxP's, with subjectively-oriented functions in both dom and aux slots, but I've only thought about that lightly.
I understand the first paragragh.
But I am missing the connection between what makes Se a "better" learner (not really missing it, just making sure I'm not missing
anythingand asking for more feedback, which goes for the following sentences as well.)
Ni and Se gather info in completely different ways.
I'm also missing the connection that makes Se better than Te. Again two different cognitive funcitons.
And that doesn't make one better than the other. Maybe the use of one in a certain field compared to another field...
Are you just stating your opinion, maybe?
If so my opinion is that Ni - Te combo makes it so that one can tell a three year old something very complex to the point that they'll understand everything.
An ISFP tried to teach me how to knit and couldn't.
So what info am I missing?
Ni can learn from just watching.
Se has to learn from doing.
Have I gone down a wrong path in this discussion?

Au contraire; they are very similar and work together wonderfully as dominant and tertiary functions. They can confuse each other though and make theories very difficult to explain. But I think INFJ's and ISTP's would still have an easier time than INTJ's some of the time. Maybe not. INFJ's are nonetheless always willing to facilitate understanding, and are capable of very clear writing.
It's just really important for some people to have their intelligence respected. Does it not bother you if it seems people don't respect yours? I'm sure it's loosely type related.
Yes, I know what you mean INFJ's have an ability to use both, and somehow make the damn combo work. I was really just referring to Ti doms vs Ni doms. They tend to not see each others points as valid. At least not until they have gotten all of the defintions and crap outta the way.
Ni wants to leave definitions open ended and Ti uses the subjective definition they have of the word. That's what I mean by clash.
Hmm...I am not sure what you mean. I would love for you to explain this to me. It doesn't bother me (as much) that people make what seem to be absurd statements...even if Zara is right or wrong about calling someone's theory stupid... I encourage feedback, but if I don't get the feedback, I look into it more and try and figure it out myself.
Unless this is a recurring theme...then I will eventually internalize it and take it personally.
I guess this may be something I don't know the whole story behind....I don't know Zara's and superunknown's history...?

Anyways, I think that's what Fi is good because it says "I don't have to tell you crap, I'm comfortable in my stance." <--which I respect
However it could also lead to it later saying " I am not telling you anything, cause you don't already know that my answer is valid." <--that's taking it personally
So I would think that leads to the conclusion that it's a combo between Ni + Fi
Ni assuming, Fi saying screw it I don't have to explain anything.
also as [MENTION=9811]Coriolis[/MENTION] said...If you explain too much...it could look like you're degrading the person's intellegence by assuming they don't know the material.
