As an INTP , how did your functions mature as embodied Leo Gura concepts

[Past-Philosopher-562]

Hello Fellow INTPs,

I’d love to hear your thoughts on how you’ve experienced the evolution of your cognitive functions and type expression over time. How have you noticed your own growth and maturity compared to other INTPs who may seem less developed or more dysfunctional in how they express their cognitive functions?

Looking forward to your insights!

Translation: how have intellectually curious introverted people become more social? Have they? 😆

I've definitely learned how to not steamroll people with my peculiar interests, but rather try to find common ground, which for me would be tapping into Si a lot (I remember learning about MBTI and quite deliberately trying to do this), i.e. when somebody tells about a personal experience they have had (which seems to be most of socializing), try to tell them about a personal experience you have had that connects with theirs somehow. What comes very natural to me is to connect it to an abstract idea and then start lecturing about that idea, but people often don't like that.

But that might just be a result of getting older and seeing what works and doesn't work in social situations and learning about MBTI and deciding to put some of the concepts into practice, not so much about Leo's ideas.

@Carl-Richard Good for you . Since there is a lot of benefits to the theory and working through it and develop your functions in order . it's fun. I am starting to realise that functions themselves have level of maturity so , each functions have some classical activities and actions associated with it and it helps work through them untill you optimally express your type
