INTP Ti - Si Loop

Explanation on an MBTI loop. Not an expert. May change later.

___

Loops in MBTI occurs when a type begins to cycle between their dominant and tertiary function, completely ignoring the auxiliary and inferior. This is mainly caused from stress and can be continous until finally broken.

___

INTP Function stack: Ti - Ne - Si - Fe

When in a Ti - Si loop, INTP is stuck trying to find answers from previous experiences. They can get trapped in constant rumination about the past as they try to find the answer(s) to their issue(s). However, this does more harm than good as they will start to fixate on their past mistakes. Overanalyzing the things they could and should have done will paralyze them into fear and self doubt. Can be very indecisive. Their overthinking will stump their Aux Ne from functioning properly, which can cause INTP to get trapped with certain routines and structures (even if it is not benefitting them). Without the help of Ne, a looping INTP struggles to form new ideas and perspectives. It makes it difficult for INTP to be innovative.

To escape the loop, an INTP needs to learn to utilize their Ne properly again. They can try to put themselves in new opportunities that will get their Ne to function; new opportunities will hopefully get INTP to explore new ideas and concepts. Brainstorm possible solutions to get their gears going. Learn to be more accepting of their own mistakes and failures, be more self compassionate.

MBTI Notes

[robcognitivepersonality]

ENTP: I look at different aspects that could be linked to a situation or perhaps how it would evolve. But I wouldn’t be convinced that “it could be this or could be that, what if this or what if that, what about if this is something else.” I like to speculate on the results, except when it comes to my personal stuff like money and health. For these, I wouldn’t speculate and would prefer something stable.

I notice that I would suggest completely unorthodox or even radical solutions to other people's problems or situations, but I don’t know if I would follow my own advice in some aspects lol

————

Rob: Now *how* you approach problems, like educating, laying information out in a clear way, “what if this what if that,” suggesting radical solutions are all SiTi. So if NeFe is your skillset, SiTi is your set of instructions for how to build that harmony or that experience for others and yourself.

Si is a concrete proactive lens, it wants to see things clearly. All of the questions you ask are all essentially "Instructions unclear, can you clarify this..." There needs to be that a-ha! dot-connecting moment in your brain to get that little dopamine your Si needs. And it's a microscope, so it wants to see all of the little details and seek many perspectives even if they're a tiny bit different from each other. That proactivity is what allows you to be a step ahead.

Some ENTP have such a strong SiTi, they always have that thirst to be the one who understands the situation more than everyone else. And it's thanks to going over every a little Si angle that allows you to get into a situation without exactly knowing how something will happen (Se) but at least you have an general idea (Ne) and you wouldn't be exactly surprised. Like we never really know how a new baby born will look like, but we got an idea based on how the parents looks like. It'd be a crazy surprise if the baby didn't look like them lol

The thing about SiTi is that it's still theoretical. So yes, the math checks out, but you might've never seen it happen before. And that can be unorthodox, and it's maybe more of a suggestion then advice. But Si is curious enough to see it happen anyway.

That curious thirst can feel out of your control though, sometimes you'd be so curious and it latches onto your mind that that's the only thing you think about, and then next day it can be totally gone, or it wants you to be curious about something else.

How to balance all your interests when you have multiple passions?

I’ve been pondering how to balance all my different passions, interests, and side hustles, as I��m the kind of person who tends to love variety and easily gets excited about new projects. It’s often the completion part that I struggle with! This is a fairly common conundrum for certain personality types, and can also be related to conditions like ADHD. It can be really hard to know how to streamline and simplify things to make it more manageable and less chaotic.

Chronic illness can be a factor here too, as I often start a new project in a high energy period, but then may not have the physical energy to easily complete it. It can be hard to know how to handle this sometimes, as I can’t predict how I’ll feel from day to day or week to week. Sometimes I just have to let something go for a while, and accept that I will come back to it later. I also accept that there’s some projects I will abandon, and I don’t see it as a major problem as long as there’s no financial investment.

So how do you handle this tendency? 

I personally find it’s best to embrace it, and find ways to work around it rather than trying to pigeonhole myself into only one project, passion or interest at a time. However, if you’re trying to make money, earn an income or build a business - and you need to pay the bills with it to survive - then you will probably need to narrow down to one thing at a time for work. You can still allow yourself freedom to explore in your free time, though.

For example, I love borrowing a wide range of books from the library, and reading about a bunch of different topics at once. Switching from one book to another works for me and I find it stimulating. The great thing is that the books all get returned to the library, so they don't create long-term clutter. I also enjoy writing blog posts about a range of different topics, rather than sticking to one particular subject.

Same goes for my art - I have one style that I sell commercially, and then do whatever I want in the rest of my spare time as it captures my fancy. I find creating different IG/Tumblr accounts for particular art styles/niches works well. If it becomes popular and sells it's a cool bonus, but I don't worry too much about it making money. Digital art is great because it doesn't take up storage space, so I'm shifting from doing large pieces on canvas to doing more digital art.

Having said all that, I do have a bunch of blogs and Tumblr accounts floating around on the internet that I've forgotten about and largely abandoned. Same with old creative projects in storage. But it's okay, because I enjoyed exploring that idea/hobby/style for a brief period of time. Sometimes I go back and integrate creative stuff from the past into my current projects (for example, taking an old blog post and updating it for my current blog).

It can become a problem if you waste a lot of money on hobbies you forget about or business ideas that never get off the ground, so I’d recommend finding ways to avoid spending too much money to begin with. Ideally, it’s best to spend no money and find free activities, but obviously this is not always possible. My post about Decluttering My Fantasy Self may be relevant if this is you.

If you're multipassionate, I don't think there's one right or wrong way to manage your interests and hobbies. Some people like to focus intensely on one hobby at a time, then move on to something else. Others enjoy moving between different interests simultaneously to keep them stimulated. I've done both at different times in my life. Emilie Wapnick has a great book about this called How to Be Everything which is more focused on career, but you can apply the same principles to hobbies and side hustles as well.

Extroverted Intuition (Ne) and Introverted Intuition (Ni) are two cognitive functions described in Carl Jung's theory of psychological types. These functions play a significant role in how individuals perceive and process information. How does Extroverted Intuition compare to Introverted Intuition?

1. Direction of focus:

- Extroverted Intuition (Ne): Ne is directed outward, focusing on possibilities and connections in the external world. People with Ne tend to explore multiple perspectives, ideas, and options. They often see patterns and connections in the environment and are open to new experiences and opportunities.

- Introverted Intuition (Ni): Ni is directed inward, focusing on internal insights and patterns. Individuals with Ni have a deep sense of knowing or hunches about the future and underlying meanings. They often have a strong intuition about what will happen or what something signifies.

2. Information processing:

- Ne: Individuals with Ne are excellent at brainstorming, generating ideas, and making connections between seemingly unrelated concepts. They often see the big picture and are quick to identify possibilities and alternatives. Ne users may struggle with focusing on a single idea or following through on specific plans.

- Ni: Ni users excel at synthesizing complex information and distilling it into a core concept or vision. They have a knack for seeing hidden meanings and understanding the underlying essence of things. Ni users may struggle with explaining their insights to others or providing concrete evidence for their intuitions.

3. Time orientation:

- Ne: Ne tends to be future-oriented, constantly seeking new possibilities and potential outcomes. It thrives on exploring what could be and is often energized by change and novelty.

- Ni: Ni is often characterized as having a future-oriented focus as well, but it also incorporates a sense of the past. Ni users may draw on past experiences and patterns to gain insight into the future.

4. Communication style:

- Ne: Ne users are typically enthusiastic communicators who enjoy sharing ideas and engaging in brainstorming sessions. They may jump from topic to topic, exploring different perspectives and possibilities.

- Ni: Ni users may have a more reflective and contemplative communication style. They tend to share insights and intuitions in a concise and focused manner, often conveying a sense of certainty or conviction.

5. Relationship to details:

- Ne: Ne users generally enjoy exploring the details and possibilities within a given context. They may become easily bored with routine or repetitive tasks and prefer to keep their options open.

- Ni: Ni users often focus on the underlying meaning or significance behind the details. They may have a tendency to overlook or dismiss specific details if they do not align with their overall vision or intuition.

The extent to which a person relies on Ne or Ni depends on where it is in the cognitive stack.

[coralcane]

just saying i dont seem to have either ne or se becuase i dont think in imagination or have billions of ideas, but i dont notice the present at all and dissociate all the time. The only thing I worry about is how much people hate me, and then constantly forgetting that people can percieve me, and then the otehr thing i focus on is my hyperfixations. So idk what mbti type I would be anymore but I just wish people would explain this more in depth because I definietly do not think in depth and analyize anything, I just am too busy worrying about what people think and worrying that people will leave me, and worrying that Il say the wrong thing, and worrying about peoples values that are different to mine, than to actually think about anything else or notice the present. Like I know I have fi now and probably si but se and ne is just fuck all same with ni.

[helslastangel]

Whenever I'm tempted to doubt my mbti type, I end up having a conversation where I find the incredibly obscure point of intersection between two completely irrelevant things and end up having to explain in the shortest time and least number of words possible what baby yoga and enriched cereal could possibly have to do with each other

Planets & Functions

Disclaimer:

These are my current observations. I'm aware I need to observe more to improve my understanding of the connection between planets and functions. I deduce the main theme I've seen similarly in both then match the planets and functions accordingly. There are 10 planets and 8 functions so there will be some overlaps. I tried my best to match their essence together. I hope you like reading these because I have fun connecting! It's a fun way to learn cognitive functions.

You can be strong in mutiple planets but we focus on your strongest planet(s) or influence hence your type or dominant/auxiliary function(s) is most likely associated with those planet(s). You can be influenced by mutiple planets and the lesser influence (the influence may still be strong no matter what) may be associated with your lower functions (auxiliary, tertiary, inferior).

Easy aspects (trine, sextile, conjunction) work like dominant/auxiliary/tertiary functions and hard aspects (square, opposition, conjunction) work like tertiary/inferior functions.

Focus on aspects, houses, signs, etc. to know your influence is associated with which function(s).

For example: you have strong Mars, Moon and Pluto. Mars is the strongest, Moon second and Pluto last. You may be an ESFP (Mars: Se; Moon: Fi or Fe; Pluto: Ni, Fi & Te). It's just a rough example to predict your type. I don't claim its accuracy since this is just an observation. Overall it's for entertainment purposes so have fun!

🟤 Saturn: Si

I associate Si - introverted sensing with Saturn. It's an easy connection because these two are very similar. They are both about hard work, stability, conservation, tradition, etc. I notice dominant/auxiliary Si and Ni users or J types (ISTJ, ISFJ, INTJ, INFJ, ESTJ, ESFJ, ENTJ, ENFJ) have strong Saturn or Earth influence in the chart. They are blessed by Saturn. I'm jealous because I have inferior Si and a weak Saturn. You may wonder why dom/aux Ni users may have a strong Saturn. It's because our chart is a combination of lots of influences. One placement doesn't purely mean you are a certain type. It just means you have strong Saturn influence, but you may have other stronger influences (for example, Pluto or Mars) that make you another type. Descriptions are overlapping. J types in general prefer to plan so they may have strong Saturn or/and Earth influence. But Si is Saturn closest archetype, not Ni for the above reason. ISTJ is the closest to Saturn due to having auxiliary Te that is more tough, masculine and fatherly. ISFJ with auxiliary Fe is more warm, motherly and Moon-liked.

Color: brown

The most possible type: ISTJ

Other possible types: ISFJ, INTJ, INFJ, ESTJ, ESFJ, ENTJ, ENFJ

Honorable functions: Ni, Te

⚪️ Uranus & Jupiter: Ne

I associate Ne - extroverted intuition with Uranus, Jupiter second. Ne and Uranus are similar in so many ways. They are both about unorthodoxy, unpredictability, open mindedness, qurikiness, futurism, freedom, etc. Ne is the opposite of Si, like Aquarius comes after Capricorn. Dominant/auxiliary Ne users (ENTP, ENFP, INTP, INFP) usually have strong Uranus. Dominant/auxiliary Se users may also have strong Uranus in a lesser extend or P types (ENTP, ENFP, INTP, INFP, ESTP, ESFP, ISTP, ISFP) in general. P types prefer to go with the flow, are more adaptable and love freedom so they may have strong Uranus or/and Air influence. ENTP is the closest to Ne due to having auxiliary Ti that is more detached, partial and logical and tertiary Fe is more humanistic. ENFP with auxiliary Fi is more passionate and personal.

Color: white, sky blue

The most possible type: ENTP

Other possible types: ENFP, INTP, INFP, ESTP, ESFP, ISTP, ISFP

Honorable functions: Se

I associate Ne - extroverted intuition with Jupiter because they are both about optimism, fairness, foreignism, theory, philosophy, etc. Dominant/auxiliary Ne and Se users or P types (ENTP, ENFP, INTP, INFP, ESTP, ESFP, ISTP, ISFP) in general may have strong Jupiter because they all love adventures & traveling. I think Ne is a bit more closer to Jupifer than Se because Ne is theoretical and philosophical like Jupiter while Se is hands-on and practical. Among the two dominant Ne users, ENFP may be closer to Jupiter because they can be more optimistic due to not having auxiliary Ti that structures dominant Ne in ENTP. ENFP is also more stubborn, untamed, honest and idealistic due to their auxiliary Fi.

Color: beige? I don't know lol help me pick a color.

The most possible type: ENFP

Other possible types: ENTP, INTP, INFP, ESTP, ESFP, ISTP, ISFP

Honorable functions: Se

🔴 Mars: Se

I associate Se - extroverted sensing with Mars. They are all about drive, action, competitiveness, agressiveness, passion, bravery, pioneer, impulsiveness, athletics, wildness, confidence, sexiniess, etc. Dominant/auxiliary Se users (ESTP, ESFP, ISTP, ISFP) have strong Mars or Fire influence in the chart. Dominant/auxiliary Se users are hot, athletic, blunt and child-like like Mars and Fire placements. They have no filter. Nothing fears or stops them. They can't be controlled. They master following what they want. They're doers. They learn by doing. ESTP is the closest to Mars due to having auxiliary Ti that is less emotional and more tough. Mars is not based on emotions. ESFP with auxiliary Fi gives a touch of softness and is Venus/Neptune-liked.

Color: red

The most possible type: ESTP

Other possible types: ESFP, ISTP, ISFP

Honorable functions: Te

⚫️ Pluto: Ni

I associate Ni - introverted intuition with Pluto. They are both about psychology, secret, knowing, mind reading, manipulation, depth, etc. Pluto is a higher octave of Mars like Ni is the opposite of Se. Dominant/auxiliary/tertiary Ni users (INTJ, INFJ, ENTJ, ENFJ, ISFP, ISTP) usually have strong Pluto or Fire/Water influence. Ni is about what we don't know or our unconscious. Ni perceives our hidden dark sides. Ni reads into silence and absence. Ni/Se users have encountered many upheavals and gone through transformtions like they have lived many lives so they have a profound understanding of human psychology. INTJ is the closet to Pluto since auxiliary Te is more commanding, intimidating and powerful and tertiary Fi is more passionate, deep and intense. INFJ with auxiliary Fe is more motherly and Moon-liked. Another planet that connects to Ni is Neptune.

Color: black, burgundy?

The most possible type: INTJ

Other possible types: INFJ, ENTJ, ENFJ, ISTP, ISFP

Honorable functions: Se, Fi, Te

🟣 Neptune: Fi

I associate Fi - introverted feeling with Neptune. They are both about idealization, compassion, etc. Dominant/auxiliary Fi users (INFP, ISFP, ENFP, ESFP) usually have strong Neptune or Water influence. Fi alone is a creative function to me. So many talented artists are dominant/auxiliary Fi users because of their ability to express emotions. They understand the intricateness of their own feelings so they have deep sympathy for other creatures. They have high desire to live in the best world so reality is often not their strength. Luckily ISFP have a more balanced auxiliary Se and tertiary Ni so they can conquer both physical and spiritual worlds fine. INFP & ENFP can be too idealistic, scatter-brained, clumsy and unrealistic due to blind spot Se (INFP) and inferior Si (ENFP). I've also seen dominant Ni users (INFJ & INTJ) have strong Pisces/Neptune because of the dominant Ni + auxiliary Fe combination (INFJ) and tertiary Fi (INTJ). The dreaminess, glamorousness, creativity transcendence, etc. are similar to Ne & Ni. INFP is the closest to Neptune due to dominant Fi and auxiliary Ne provide a highly creative combination.

Color: purple

The most possible type: INFP

Other possible types: ISFP, ENFP, ESFP, INFJ, INTJ, ESFJ, ENTJ, ENFJ, ISTP, INTP, ENTP

Honorable functions: Ne, Ni

🟡 Sun: Te

I associate Te - extroverted thinking with Sun. They are both about leadership, competence, achievement, success, etc. Dominant/auxiliary Te users (ENTJ, ESTJ, INTJ, ISTJ) usually have strong Sun or Fire influence. I've also seen dominant/auxiliary/tertiary Se and dominant/auxiliary Fi users (ENFJ, ESFP, ISFP, ISTP, ENFP) except INFP (due to blind spot Se) and maybe ESTP (due to tertiary Fe is more Moon-liked and ESTP is more pure Mars) have strong Sun/Leo/Fire influence. The drama, expressiveness, passion, authentication, attention seeking, etc. are also associated with Fi in the Fi/Te axis that wants to express their identity. Dominant/auxiliary/tertiary Te, Fi & Se users have a drive to be seen successful. They want to shine and feel like the best of the world. That's the best feeling ever. ENTJ is the closet to Sun due to dominant Te that is assertive, authoritative and commanding and tertiary Se is strong, fast and risk-taking.

Color: yellow, red

The most possible type: ENTJ

Other possible types: ISTJ, INTJ, ESFP, ISFP, ENFJ, ISTP, ENFP

Honorable functions: Fi, Se

🟠 Moon & Venus: Fe

I associate Fe - extroverted feeling with Moon. They are both about affection, warmth, care, etc. Dominant/auxiliary Fe users (ESFJ, ENFJ, ISFJ, INFJ) usually have strong Moon or Water influence. Dominant/auxiliary Fi users (ISFP, INFP, ESFP, ENFP) may also have strong Moon or Water influence in a lesser extend. The difference between Fi and Fe is Fi have high ideals (Neptune) while Fe likes to protect loved ones (Moon). They both want to feel loved. INFJ is the closest to Moon because dominant Ni is intuitive and sensitive to all needs and auxiliary Fe is still caring but less smothering and prefer one-on-one interaction. Si (ISFJ, ESFJ) gives a more physical and down-to-earth attention while Moon is more intuitive. Dominant Fe (ESFJ, ENFJ) can be more Sun-liked because they want public attention.

Color: yellow?, purple?

The most possible type: INFJ

Other possible types: ENFJ, ISFJ, INFJ, ISFP, INFP, ESFP, ENFP

Honorable functions: Fi

I associate Fe - extroverted feeling with Venus. At first I didn't have much knowledge to match Venus with a function. I know Venus must be a feeling and sensing type. Neptune is a higher octave of Venus so it's more intuitive and abstract while Venus is more physical and sensual. Since Neptune is associated with Fi due to out-of-this-world ideals, I found Venus seeks more shallow admiration and material luxury. Taurus can be both either Si or Se with its desire for physical comfort and materials. Libra loves to be in a relationship which is associated with Fe more than Fi. Libra seeks harmony, peace, politeness and balance are all associated with Fe. Hence I believe Venus is more related to Fe. While Neptune and Pluto are more related to Fi due to idealization and passion. Dominant/auxiliary/tertiary Fe & Fi users (ESFJ, ENFJ, ISFJ, INFJ, ESFP, ENFP, ISFP, INFP) usually have strong Venus or Earth/Air influence. No matter what Venus is the lower octave of Neptune so it will influence both Fe and Fi. ESFJ is the closest to Venus since dominant Fe has sophisticated and charming manners and auxiliary Si loves physical comfort.

Color: pink, purple

The most possible type: ESFJ

Other possible types: ENFJ, ISFJ, INFJ, ESFP, ENFP, ISFP, INFP, ESTP, ENTP

Honorable functions: Fi

🔵 Mercury: Ti

I associate Ti - introverted thinking with Mercury. They are both about logic, accuracy, connection, calculation, etc. Dominant/auxiliary Ti users (INTP, ISTP, ENTP, ESTP) usually have strong Mercury or Earth/Air influence. Tertiary Ti users (ISFJ, INFJ), dominant/auxiliary Ne users (INFP, INTP, ENFP, ENTP) and dominant/auxiliary Te users (INTJ, ENTJ, ISTJ, ESTJ) may also have strong Mercury or Earth/Air influence since Ne is about making connections and Te is also rational in making decisions. INTP is the closest to Ti since dominant Ti is logical and auxiliary Ne is more theoretical.

Other possible types: ISTP, ENTP, ESTP, INFJ, ISFJ, INFP, ENFP, INTJ, ENTJ, ISTJ, ESTJ

Ne Potentiality

Daydreaming

The Ne function is motivated to discover new information, whether by absorbing it from the outside or by synthesizing it out of existing datasets through a creative alchemy. It is highly imaginative, which is to say it's driven by images and information structures of all kinds. However, these images are not immediately evidenced in the environment, but are all those which the environment evokes by containing an adjacent graphical relationship to the present. When faced with a situation the Ne user will only casually consider the literal objects before them as their mind soon drifts up, around and behind those immediate objects to uncover the visual and conceptual implications related to that moment. They are quick to leap beyond the physical world and become lost in their heads; conjuring up novel ways to interpret situations as they unfold. They have a talent for manipulating information spatially and relationally; fitting together ideas that are otherwise largely disconnected from each other. They may find themselves comparing elements of the periodic table to music bands, or imagining what the life of an eraser would be like from the perspective of a Pixar film. As children they may be absentminded daydreamers oblivious to their surroundings and caught up in a self-made world of equal parts fiction and reality. The domain of their imagination can be far more interesting to them than whatever is happening in the outer world. Some may nurture this world with stories they make up, complete with characters, landscapes and perhaps an entire legendarium.

Lack of Attention

But the time the Ne user spends in their head often translates to time not spent in reality. Far more than the average student, they will be prone to space out in class, be unable to get through long texts or any tasks that require a very slow or arduous pace. Their perception of the world outside of their interests will be faint, hazy or splotchy. If something is not particularly rich with associative potential, the details of objects in daily life will soon fade, leaving only their general impression as an after-image in their mind. When listening to others, as they’re absorbing the person’s words, one word will trigger a mental tangent midway and they’ll pursue it curiously at the loss of what else the other person was saying. They can live a klutzy existence, tripping on objects, wearing mismatched clothes, losing things and forgetting appointments on a regular basis. But despite this exterior inattentiveness, internally they may experience quite a hyperactivity of thought. Far more is happening within than without and this can also cause troubles such as over-thinking, excessive worrying about outcomes or not getting a good night’s sleep from an inability to slow down their mental chatter. They may find it difficult to keep a steady mental pace and can often be diagnosed with ADD, ADHD or Sensory Processing Disorder. Reality can register to the Ne user as a series of information flashes which are somewhat spontaneous in nature and which channel from every previous dataset collected in the unconscious.

Mass Data Absorption

Jarring as it may be to be inundated by sporadic correlative flashes, it can also be incredibly stimulating and addictive to constantly be experiencing this imaginative feed. A small rush or high may be felt every time a new idea pops into awareness and the Ne user will thirst after that feeling of realization, the sensation of novelty or the intrigue of curiosity. And when Ne is particularly strong, they will seek this type of experience with undying fervor. They will become media junkies, often binge watching entire seasons, rushing through novels and games, or going on researching sprees for days or weeks on end. A slowdown of volume, or a lack of things to absorb can lead to feelings of stagnation, hollowness and absence of thriving. As such, their impulse will be to pick up something else right after finishing the last thing, needing to have some form of interest always in mind. However, this can be problematic if they find themselves more engaged in the endless flux of information than in the information itself. Despite vast amounts of information entering, much may be going in one ear and out the other. A perpetual challenge for the Ne user will be to be more targeted in their attention and sink deeply into a few topics rather than spread themselves thin across dozens of topics. And indeed, when they learn to channel their focus toward a single direction, they can become over-night experts on subjects, memorizing every minute detail about a favored hobby, genre, pop idol, science experiment, or category of trivia.

Serendipity & Flash Visions

The Ne user's capacity to synthesize such high volumes of information sometimes leads to spooky insights, uncanny realizations and predictions of the relevant situation. Suddenly a vision may flash before their eyes, stitched together from hundreds of unconscious micro-correlations accumulated around this moment; converging into one instance in time. This can lead to a semblance of clairvoyance where the Ne user attains some knowledge into the unseen causalities of the universe. They may come to deeply trust this sense, whenever they feel it manifest. However, these sudden flashes will not represent a stable ability and their appearance will be as unpredictable as their own inspiration. In other cases this can produce a habit of serendipity where the individual participates in a cosmic flow towards meaningful happenstances by consciously or unconsciously directing their energies in those vectors. The Ne user will attune themselves to the real-time synchronicities of the universe, ebbing and dancing in harmony with an eternally unfolding fractal towards undiscovered lands. At a more modest scale, the Ne user's information synthesis will regularly evoke epiphanies when various information vectors -- previously suspended in an unconscious superposition -- click into alignment and burst forth immediate realizations that alter the fabric of their mind and their paradigm. In all of these cases the Ne user is rapidly altered -- seemingly by a divine act -- into a more true alignment with reality as it may exist at the widest scale possible.

Tinkering

At a much more practical level, the strong Ne user is not only driven to absorb and synthesize information but also to actively participate in the information collecting process. They will enjoy engaging with elements of reality through tinkering and experimentation. More than a few household devices may be taken apart as they yearn to see what’s inside. They may take up a variety of interests ranging from sculpting to rock collecting, music composition, cosplaying, animation, voice acting, puppeteering and ventriloquism – but will rarely become expert at any of them. As a jack of all trades and master of none, they will dabble with mediums frequently but may find themselves changing hobbies every few years. This can also cause a great deal of disarray in their personal lives, as they soon lose interest in a once beloved life trajectory. Repetition is among their biggest turn-offs, and this can also lead to a life-long struggle with keeping a set occupation unless the Ne user is fortunate enough to find a job that is as dynamic and evolving as their interests. They enjoy being on the cusp of their understanding and seeing what lies still beyond their reach. Over time, every interest they've ever had has the potential to spontaneously reignite itself in them. On a whim they may circle back around to a hobby after having packed it up in the garage for years or decades, and continue their joy for it as if no time had passed. Indeed, they often have closets or garages filled with various unfinished hobbies or projects - waiting for an occasion to become the center of their attention.

Puns & Humor

The Ne user will also have an integral sense of humor and bring that with them into many of their interactions. They’ll have a capacity to convert their wild imaginings into out of context parallels; comparing a person’s gait to a limping platypus, an unusual jawline to a can opener or a shih-tzu to an animated mustache. They’ll juxtapose ideas together in absurd and off-the-wall ways and highlight the unseen peculiarities of things. The Ne user will have a natural drive to spark up the environment; to provide levity and life to situations as well as to their own life. Life is too dreary if you can’t have a little fun. Wordplay can be a favorite medium of humor, where they'll manipulate the semantics of the situation to make puns and associations. "Oh you can sit here with me, chairing is caring!" or "That omelette was egg-squisite! But the bacon was hogwash" or spoonerisms like "I'm stoing to the gore" may be commonly heard phrases. This sense of humor can lead many Ne users into stand-up comedy or to adopt a role as a talk show host for their ability to improvise and keep the flow of a conversation going in unexpected directions.

Imitations & Parodies

The Ne user will also have a playful tendency to parody multiple characters and scenarios in real-time. A certain event or external sound/word will trigger an association chain which reminds them of a scene or meme, and their mind instantly re-enacts the memory both mentally and physically. The Ne user wears many hats and may be a sort of walking record of enactments, ready to sprint into their acting mode at a moment's notice when the situation presents itself. They will manifest this in the form of "mini-skits" that imitate the iconic qualities of a thing. The Ne user may be an expert at playing with their facial muscles, making a wide range of expressions. They may also excel at modulating their voice tone, picking up and repeating accents from movie stars or obscure demographics. At a more functional and less recreational level, this gives the Ne user the ability to be adaptive and construct personas in social situations. If they are driven to assume a certain professional or social role, they may seamlessly be able to play the part. This can sometimes become a longstanding act, as they use the persona for months until the Ne user may even forget that they assimilated or constructed the character in the first place.

-Behaviors Under Stress

Distraction & Escapism

When the hardships of life cause a fall out of emotional health for the Ne user, their first instinct will be to divert their attention away from the overwhelming pain. Humor, recreation and consumerism will be exercised as an antidote to their pain, often leading them to engage in reckless spending, jovial displays and to seek out more risky experiences. On the inside the Ne user will be viscerally compelled to stay on the run by an avoidance of their own anxieties and fears. They’ll feel that they would not be able to stand up to the full magnitude of their despair, and rather than have it crush them, they choose to highlight or exaggerate positives and downplay or ignore the magnitude of any negatives. They may also become immersed in a certain media, binge-watching Netflix or playing video games instead of tending to pressing responsibilities. Despite a completely conscious awareness of the necessity of certain actions, the more pressing a responsibility is, the more their mind will fight powerfully to avoid it, disallowing proper mental focus and follow-through. The Ne user will be in conflict with their mind as it struggles to do anything else but what it's supposed to do. Therefore, rather than address the issue head on, the stressed Ne user may skirt around the problem and find something more magnetic to focus on and just wait for the project, assignment or relationship to fail on its own.

ATEEZ Yeosang MBTI Analysis

- INTP -

An in-depth analysis of an idol's MBTI type. Based on my opinion and observations, may change later. Not an expert.

MBTI: INTP (Ti - Ne - Si - Fe)

Dom: Ti - Introverted Thinking

A judging function that uses subjective thinking and logic to make the most rational decisions

 Yeosang is known for his bluntness, which is honestly the most Ti dom thing ever. He admits this himself, even saying the members are scared of his honesty. He isn't purposely mean though - Ti doms are just straightforward. They often don't see the point in sugarcoating if they see something wrong/irrational. Ti wants the truth always.

Aux: Ne - Extroverted Intuition  

A perceiving function that creates new ideas through connections and patterns in the environment

His Ti - Ne shined in ep 5 of the Salary Lupin series. The way he thought of the theory of MPD being an obsessive lover of San and of Seonghwa being genderfluid was quite astounding. He connected the details so well that it was highly convincing. Although he was wrong, it was still impressive that he managed to come up with that (even if it was given to him by some sort of script - I doubt it would've been that descriptive). He even has a witty sense of humor that I've noticed in high Ne users (e.g when members were wondering about Woo's apple watch model and Yeosang proceeded to put a literal apple on his own wrist, calling it an old model). 

Tert: Si - Introverted Sensing  

A perceiving function that is focused on the internal sensations of the body. Prefers familiarity and internal structure

Yeosang seems comfortable keeping some sort of routine (e.g working out). He's quick at picking up choreo and can dance correctly not too long after, making him a perfect lead dancer. He likely has a good eye for detail.

Inf: Fe - Extroverted Feeling

Extroverted Feeling places importance on the values of others and group harmony. However, Yeosang is known to be quite blunt. He isn't rude on purpose, he's just honest (which seems to be a lot of IxTP's problem). A higher Fe position would likely sugarcoat or phrase their words carefully so that they still receive a positive reaction in the end.

For Yeosang, it seems he struggles with that. Like the time he was having some issues with Wooyoung, he didn't know how to talk about it. He didn't even want to bring up the issue for fear of disrupting peace. However, it ended up slipping out anyways accidentally on live. A lot of Fe inferior don't really know how to face issues they have with others properly. How to bring it up, the apropriate timing and setting, etc so they may end up having an emotional outburst.

He also tends to keep things to himself, only going to Hongjoong when he was struggling.

Why he's not an ISFP (Fi - Se - Ni - Te) or ISFJ (Si - Fe - Ti - Ne):

I don't think he's an ISFP since I don't see him use ISFP's functions at all. San is an ISFP and comparing the two, they're completely different. Of course not all ISFPs are the same, but Yeosang does not have a dominant/auxiliary feeling function at all.

Or an ISFJ...although same functions as INTP, just different order, I don't think he's a Si dom or Fe aux. He definitely does not seem Ne inferior.

ISFPs: San, SF9 Youngbin and Yoo Taeyang, BTS Jungkook

ISFJs: Seonghwa, SNSD Taeyeon and Yoona, TXT Soobin

Here’s the old one:

Now here’s the fixed one:

Now allow the functions working together in a type.

What would be in an INTP's mind with TiSi, how do they get the foresight to get to the other side in one shot? Is FeNe like getting people to buy in?

What about an ENTJ? How do they figure in hindsight so they'll get it one shot next time? What are they asking themselves with FiNi?

ENTP - The Debater ⚖️

[thejournallo]

I'm not an introvert or an extrovert. I'm ambivert, which means if I instinctively don't like you, we're never going to talk.
