The same example you gave for yourself... I'll elaborate in a comment in the main section, if you have an answer to my questions. So far, your videos have been extremely helpful with understand why I have always been the way I have been, and nobody was able to understand me. Thank you for what you do!
Basically, understanding what another person THINKs. Especially when I want to get their perspective as it is, not as I understand it by internalizing…
External facts! Got it! Thank you. Just what I needed to hear. Need to look at real world facts and actions and make it happen through scheduling and list.
INFJ here, my experience with the Te blindspot is that I often assume that other people must be right about a certain topic they're discussing because they probably know a lot more about it than I do, even when my internal logic is telling me otherwise. It's happened to me more times than I can count, but enough times to not dismiss my Ti so quickly and start trusting it!
the infj in theory can become anything because they have the ability to warp their own realties to their whim as long as they are very self aware, its a blessing and a curse.
This is so true. I wanted to study psychotherapy for health practitioners. I made a plan with 3 hours of deep work 6 days a week. It was planned to be finished after 4 months. Guess what? I finished after 4 months and 3 days. This was and still is such an amazing feeling! It I true to reward yourself with observable results! Thank you Wenzes for all your videos!
Loved this, thank you. This explains why I have always been attracted to people who are “worldly” and “street smart” because those people take real world actions to solve problems
U nailed it! INFJ ignoring the facts and confusing facts with issues.INFJ needs to learn to believe what they see,not what they believe.and INFJ needs to listen when 2 or more people say the same thing exactly about something the INFJ keeps rationalizing with Ti. we should ask ourselves:" what are the odds these agreeing observers are wrong about this? do i want to fantasize?
I spent abt 1/2 of my life in my head! After i divorced amd got a new job as an administrative assistant, the light bulb clicked on. Plus my new boyfriend was a mover and a shaker and i helped him a lot. I finally got the balls to get outta my head amd bring it to the physical. It has come more naturally but i still hv times where i hesitate to take the leap and do it. Now ppl come to me and ask me how to take the first steps. But the part you mentioned abt distinguishing reality from my ideals. Im still waking up on that area. Ive lost a lot of years bc of codependency, too much sentimentality and a strong attachment to ideals that dont really serve me. I just had to release one that cost me thousands of dollars in business. It saddened me but i had to deal with reality. Yet i learned so much, helped and inspired so many ppl, and gained a confidence i never had before. I guess i can say it's not a total lost cause. Now i get to decide what to do next--but with more TE in effect!
That thumping sound you just heard was my jaw dropping on the floor! I had started tapping into TE in my pre-Myers Briggs days without realizing it! I think I learned about it by observing my father, who was artistic, imaginative - and awesomely practical. When I began to follow his example, I knew it the wouldn't same way he did it, but it could still be done my way and be ok in the process. (BTW, my Dad was pleased! 🙂 ) It was a great feeling for someone like me who had been a seemingly incurable daydreamer as a kid. So I can vouch 100% for what you've shared here! Its helped me understand my journey better.
Basically this video just confirms that we can be kind of delulu. I'm definitely guilty of ignoring external factors because my internal logic convinces me otherwise lol.
Hahaha. I bump heads with my boss who is entj. Ive always found the quality of his logic undesirable however he would get the issue solved twice as fast as my Ti. This video gave me more perspective!
True, but sometimes those without our functions have to redo things because they moved in too fast without a proper assessment; & sometimes we pick up on something way before everyone else but if they don't listen we end up witnessing 'trainwrecks' that really could have been prevented.
Wow that third person tip really helps. I'm having some disassociate of disorders. It's kind of intense. But, it helps to imagine what a third person would see
I've started doing mind maps to help me analyze events and create plans. This has been helping me a great deal. I will be sure to add in the external and tangible for a more well rounded view. Thank you so much for the suggestion! Love your channel.
Wow, you always save me, It feels like we always know that but we never realize and fully understand it until you said it. Thank you so much for your help. I will look for the observable results from the outside, to not stuck in my mind no more , or at least not more than I need to have that epic life that I want and see for myself.
Wow this explains do much. Just found your videos snd oh boy. Thank you thank you. Everything I've researched thus far explains me. Was so overwhelmed that I'm more able to use the TE or just looking at facts. Nice to put a name to Everything.
My church is ran by ESTJ, ENTJ types. They think I am mischievous church member, because I always point at group-think in church. Also, when they publicly call for sticking to a certain belief, that has to do with things being done externally for the spiritual benefit, I call it out on it's lack of logic and truth, because I have no regard for a belief, even if it was around for years, if the basis underneath it wasn't properly explained by logic.
I'm sorry to hear that your church is ran by ESTJ, ENTJ types...I've had the worst experiences with these two types out of all types. They steam roll ppl and don't give a f because of their demon FE and yet are the most fragile of all the types bc of inferior FI. Selfish, self-seeking and sensitive only about their feelings with no regard of other people's feelings.
Thank you. This is so helpful to me. Currently working on what I want to achieve in the future and for me, the biggest part is usually how do i go about doing it. Thanks again 🙏
I like this guy at our office. And I don't know if he likes me too? Like none of us say anything but he's kinda flirty to me? But its just subtle tho I'm not certain of anything lol. My NI-TI tells me he likes me. But if I will exercise my TE, it would be logical to think that he isn't :( Gosh it hurts too much thinking about it since I already invest my feelings for him. I'm an infj and I'm often in clouds with my thoughts so when I fell for a guy, it would be intense. Gosh :(
Hi stranger, I believe my answer may be kinda late, but I would suggest you to get in tune with your Fe since the issue is about feelings, not logic. And if you want you can update the situation with the guy now, it seems interesting :) have a good life :))
So is my Te trickster the reason why i dropped out of college? Because it was suffocating and I couldn't do well like others, with following the rules and having people ordering me to do stuff i don't want to do or see point in? Not liking the system etc, If so does it mean i should go back?😕😕 My first time diving into my lower 4 functions...
Tive uma experiência semelhante, mas foi no trabalho. Me sentia pressionada, tinha que fazer coisas que eu não via sentido, o trabalho era repetitivo e chato... iria pedir demissão, até que me demitiram antes. Mas eu não penso jamais em me enfiar numa situação dessas novamente. Prefiro trabalhar onde me deixem livre para usar meu Ti sem pressões ou cobranças. Talvez seja por isto que sempre gostei de trabalhar individualmente ao invés de trabalho em grupo.
Yes, i think our functions are "liquid". In a badminton game, i will fight you with every thing i have. But after the game i will ask, are you o.k.?? I tend to fal asleep behing the steering wheel if there is not much traffic. Same in real live. Somehow i find my balance the best when the s.h.t.f... Also at work. But when live is "normal" i have to take care of my balance.
I just realized something... Is tapping into my Te the way to get out of the Ni-Ti loop? Because using my Fe still feels too subjective and triggers Ti again. But when I get into a no-nonsense mode or something external happens that makes me think only about objective facts I get out of that loop.
TE also works...but it doesn't mean that you have to get objective to get out of the loop...the main point is to go more external (like expressing yourself through FE) than to keep thinking about it
The danger of Te is that it’s not built from strong and sound foundations, or Ti. Political thinking is often Te and therefore based on compromised pragmatic logic only. It often lacks purity and has internal contradictions, so we tend to avoid it.
Yes but don't be scared of Te. Te is what improves systems and efficiency for everyone. It's not about philosophizing to get to the core, it's about getting things done. When your INFJ boss is scared of Te,... they never share ideas with the group, they don't check their facts with the group, they don't improve efficiency for the group (to lessen extreme workloads). It can be aweful to work with an infj who's scared of Te for these reasons.
I am the lone wolf type. but I like you. any chance of being a partner would be like to accept the same in you as myself. so I couldn't garentee that if you find that partner it will be a direct sharing feeling of absolute that others feel. as you stated that 20 percent. I wonder if that will always apply into relationships quo. you think. perhaps we are also diverse INFJ that marriage will always be individual complexes of ideas and dreams? But I pretty much know. once INFJ gets an Idea it will be stuck in there head for a very long time. Because we know INFJ once judging themselves can stick absurdly hard in the mind. I am almost sure I have seen you in another life.
INTJ here. Te blindspot doesn’t exactly mean you’re easily impressionable. That’s more of an ESFP/ENFP/ISFP/INFP thing bcuz they’re so focused on what others think(they have Ti demon and Ti trickster) to a point they’re easily impressionable. Te users like INTJ or ESFPs are pretty much thought vampire like we tend to absorb very easily the thoughts of others just like an INFJs or ENTPs and other Fe users absorb the values and emotions of others
I don't really think this is a good way to explain Te though...Te is an interface function that works for the good of the 'tribe' in order to cooperate and bring about action towards an end...in opposition to Fe, it is pragmatic, shorn of feeling, and cold. Its goal is simply executing the most important task, and putting the consensus of the group into action. Implicit in Te is the ability to simply accept what has already been concluded by consensus, without further deliberation. Someone who is Te blind would simply never be able to accept that there are any conclusions of the group that are NOT up for debate. In other words, someone lacking in Te will never accept that there is actually a right way to do something, and consequently, will be bad at 'systems thinking'. This leads to frustration and very bad ADHD.
What area do you want to commit to and create more "externally observable results"?!
The same example you gave for yourself... I'll elaborate in a comment in the main section, if you have an answer to my questions.

“Te is what a third person can observe” is such a helpful way of understanding it!
I didn't get what is meant by the third person, who's the second person then?
@@bouthaynaabidi9411 like an objective third party - “3rd person” meaning external person perspective
@@ogreer Thanks a lot
So Te is objective while Ti is subjective? That’s what is sounds like to me.
@@obidavekenobe yeah, I’ve heard it described that all introverted functions are subjective and all extraverted functions are objective.
INFJ here, my experience with the Te blindspot is that I often assume that other people must be right about a certain topic they're discussing because they probably know a lot more about it than I do, even when my internal logic is telling me otherwise.

Sou INFJ e me relaciono perfeitamente com isto.
+1 !
That’s more like Te child or Te inferior tho bcuz they’re so focused on what others think that they become unaware of what they think.
I can relate
@@maria_s3731 Agreed, My INFJ friends never listen to what I say if its contrary to their logic even though their logic is what is actually stupid.
the infj in theory can become anything because they have the ability to warp their own realties to their whim as long as they are very self aware, its a blessing and a curse.

BLESSED, I had quite the same experience. I was disappointed in love and so I started to look into my self and then society, and realized many things.

I seriously suck at Te. I just out source it. Te users do the same with Fe

I feel like watching these videos is like cheating in life 😂
With the life I've had...I think I'm LONG overdue for some cliff notes and cheat codes. 🤣
Now just needing the Motherloade 😂😅
this really help. never put perspective this way....
5:56 till end
Nailed it
Wow, you always save me, It feels like we always know that but we never realize and fully understand it until you said it. Thank you so much for your help. I will look for the observable results from the outside, to not stuck in my mind no more , or at least not more than I need to have that epic life that I want and see for myself.
Wow you always amaze me! I guess ill start making a list about real world things that i do ignore
Why not introverted sensing? Introverted sensing is the opposite of our inferior function AND a shadow function.
Wow that's so helpful ✨ thank you so much ✨
Love from Egypt ✨
Excellent
I feel called out 😅. Thanks for this video!
Totally accurate, I need to implement that schedule idea
This REALLY gave me insight into myself! I feel like I'm starting to unlock what I need right now! Thank you!!

Definitely needed to hear this
This is great advice. I’m seriously having issues with this atm. Thankyou
Needed this today 🙏🏽💘✨
Great video. Thanks for the insight!
Ouch, Right in the spot.
Thanks for this video Wenzes👍
Thank you!
Really helped, thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
Thank you. This is so helpful to me. Currently working on what I want to achieve in the future and for me, the biggest part is usually how do i go about doing it. Thanks again 🙏
Interesting...in socionics Te for the INFJ IEI would be your role function which is a conscious but unvalued.
This is amazing ! Very Inspiring !
Great insight as always!

Great Video!
Why do we have least power over this function, instead of Si? Also I like the warm colors of your new setting
Another great video! Really need to get out of my head and I think this will really help!
Glad it was helpful!
A little tipsy:
Don't you feel frustrated, your dreams aren't reality, when you know what is needed to change it?
This is excellent wenz🚦 I like the third person mental practice😊🤞🏽
