  1. Past hour
  2. Yeah, it's almost like he values Ne just as much Ti.
  3. The song Layla by Eric Clapton starts out its main riff in the key of D minor, then switches to C# minor for the versus. This creates a downward shift in mood. This is a highly unusual move because the two keys share few chords or notes in common and according to music theory it shouldn’t work.
  4. That's often enough, but not always. You can have a very analytical INFJ. If you look at what Emerald does, she's tending to the tribe and cares more about that than she does analysis. INTJ doesn't do that.
  5. I see jumping between conceptual domains, generating analogies, alternative interpretations. Lots of hodge-podge combining of alternate ideas and holding space for concepts/thoughts without an immediate commitment. Carl also has a habit of distinguishing the model from the thing being modelled. Always taking a topic and opening the concepts out to a big tree of branches. I am no typologist, these are just the things he does by default I find it fun to rub brains with his flavour of Ne! @Carl-Richard
  6. I don't know her type, but I generally look at the first 2 cognitive functions to assess type.
  7. One thing I'm not really buying though is that @Sugarcoat is an INTJ. Ain't no way.
  8. Yeah, that seems right. I'm probably mixing up Ne for Ni. INTP it is! Mark it @Carl-Richard
  9. How to distinguish between Ti analysis and Te analysis? I could be wrong but someone like Emerald seems Ti to me. And keep in mind, Ti is 3rd in the stack for an INFJ. Some will have it more developed than others.
  10. Ne user. My initial thoughts when interacting with you
  11. You're a hard one to read. I initially thought you're INTP because you clearly like to soak up fine details and a lot of knowledge, but you also seem to have Ni. So IDK. I see your dilemma.
  12. Te is very analytical and I notice it right away. Fe is almost put off by that. That is one way I can tell the difference. I wouldn't describe Fe as caring about the feelings of the tribe in the INFJ. It is the helping function for the dominant function Ni. It works with introverted intuition in a way that can channel the feeling of the whole. But when I walk into most situations I have an uncanny ability to read the room right away. But I don't lead with Fe, it backs up and helps my Ni. If you had Fe as a dominant function, that is a very different personality, ditto for having Te as a dominant function.
  13. If you have to only choose one type, you do it for me 😆
  14. I think the differentiating mark is Fe - caring about the feelings of the tribe.
  15. It is if you accept that innocent people will die. If you ask a scientist can we be 100% certain about any scientific observation, they will say no. And law is arguably even messier, especially granted corruption. You could simply bite the bullet on this and that it's acceptable rather than crying that we're actually going into this. But if you can't accept it, maybe think twice about voting for the death penalty. Maybe it will be you who gets executed wrongfully.
  16. This makes me think of how I love infinite canvases, which is all about both zooming in and zooming out. I've gone deep on why I love infinite canvases and it's basically because that's the modality Ni stores things. Detail available on demand but not foregrounded.
  17. Some people type themselves as INFJs but they look more like INTJs to me.
  18. Thursday: September 17th, 2026. Noticing feeling good as self-deception is distinct from getting tricked.
  19. Thursday: September 17th, 2026. Impressing someone due to pretension is distinct from authentic vulnerability.
  20. Thursday: September 17th, 2026. Ego indulgence representing ignorant bliss is distinct from grounded reality.
  21. Thursday: September 17th, 2026. In control of feeling good is distinct from self-deceiving overconfidence.
  22. Thursday: September 17th, 2026. Lie in ego representing self-deception is distinct from impostor syndrome.
  23. It's the most fascinating distinction to me because I highly admire Ti, but I'm also confused by it. I also find the INFJ very interesting and don't have a lot of data on them. They share the same dominant function as me but with Fe modulating. Emerald is an example. I think because INFJ has Ti 3rd in the stack, if they develop Ti, they can be an intellectual powerhouse. I really admire Ti but just can't really operate that way myself, but I wish I could.
  24. I trip at the library and study hard about the nature of reality. Next week, I plan on reserving a private room for a couple hours and just sitting there in deep silence with some contemplation music and just BE. I don’t go to university, so instead, I need to contemplate what is the Universe.
  25. You trying to NJ an NP 🧐
  26. @Joshe =^_^= i you all
