A knife that can shoot a flare? The Beacon Blade. Also, Hockey is an odd one with handedness. My father is right-handed in general, but he plays hockey lefty. Hockey is a sport with a smaller market than the other sports, but often people who give it a chance are amazed by it. I grew up with hockey, and could go on an on about it.
Nick, the door-locking thing is a slightly "OCD" trait common among Si-users. I even do that myself, and I'm pretty sure I'm tertiary Si (3rd slot). I'm not OCD about many things, but when it comes to locking doors and setting alarms, I tend to triple-check. Funny thing is, once you repeat the behavior consistently enough, it becomes a routine via some sort of positive feedback loop, a habit ingrained in your muscle memory, and a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy destined to continue (at least with strong Si). Of course, if you have Ne above Si, you'll tend to get tired of an "Si habit" and periodically or randomly switch to some other Si quirk. Because the behavior is typically aimed at safety and security, I might make the argument it could correlate with enneagram type 6 (of course, type 6 is also strongly correlated with Si). I'm 5w4, so one could argue an association with the (albeit, weak) 6-wing, in my case. But from a more 5-ish perspective, it could also be aimed at maintaining privacy and preventing intrusions for that reason, which does click with me a little better, now that I think of it. Either way it is also ensuring Si homeostasis, both via its effects and the repetition of the action, itself. I don't know if you know your enneagram type. For you, I might wager a guess of 9 or 6w5, without knowing more. You had me almost-convinced you were an ISFJ through most of the session, so if you are indeed Fe PoLR, then kudos to you for finding successful workarounds! The thought also crossed my mind whether your Fe influences at home (your mom being an ISFJ, and stepdad being ESFJ, if I remember correctly) could have been a factor in your development and had some bearing on your affect. Assuming you have typed them correctly, of course. Also, maybe I have inaccurate impressions about Canadians, but would you say the culture there is a bit heavier on the Fe?
Okay the locking door thing is perhaps the Ne 4th that tells you the negative consequences that might happen if you fail to lock the door. As a result, you must double triple check it, making sure you really have locked it
I have a Canadian Thanksgiving! It's where I stuff my turkey with pig and cow... YUMYUMYUMYUM Smart kid. The detail recalling his morning made me laugh! He is such a sweet kid... Keep it up kid!
Why did you ask him if he was right or left handed? Is it related in any way with typing? Also I wanna say something random that I thought after hearing this: I'm basically left handed with most of the things I use my left: writing, eating, playing soccer etc. But some stuff I do like right handed ppl, like basket AND playing guitar... I always had a standard guitar in the house growing up so I learned with it. One day I went to a music shop and I asked for a left handed one just to try and I was totally confused, it was hard to even do the basic chords etc. So yeah this is relatively common I think cause it's just the way I learned. The interesting thing tho is: When I play air guitar... I play it like a lefty. Like by instinct my hands go like that, like they're playing a left handed guitar... then in the concrete act it's reversed. It's like my brain wants to do something but my actual knowledge of skill and technique has learned in an opposite way so there's a cognitive dissonance between instinct and esecution. Lol, dunno why I'm saying this thing but I find it curious so I felt like sharing this.
I wish i would've caught this comment earlier to respond. You may have what's called mixed handedness, or hand confusion. I have this issue. If I pick up a tool, I have to do a little dance to figure out if I need to use it left-handed, right-handed, or if either way will work. If there's a pattern, it's that left hand favors heavier labor tasks, right hand favors fine motor control tasks. I'm right-handed with musical instruments -- but for baseball my right hand's totally useless -- I'm a left-handed thrower, catcher, and batter (so - I learned to hate baseball).
Eric didn’t you get the impression of high Fe? Like the way he carried out the dialogue with the imaginary person who was trying to steal the parking spot? And would an ISTJ have this much concern about hurting strangers’ feelings, even when they’re in the right? And he seemed to go out of his way to be smiley and stuff about your jokes out of politeness, which seems Fe and not Te or Fi. This could be a misread on my part but it seems at least slightly significant.
@@franklewis1543 The difficulty you mention is the primary doubt I had about typing Nick an Si-dom. Because he didn't seem completely unable to recall specific anecdotal examples, and managed in a few instances, alongside an abundance of other signs of Si, we might chalk it up to nervousness interfering with memory? I don't know if that resonates with your experience though. I recall reading at some point that when a word is "on the tip of your tongue" but you can't remember it for the life of you, this phenomenon is basically the result of your brain accessing several different pieces of information from different areas at once, and the wires getting crossed, producing a memory block. I have actually observed a similar thing with Si-doms. It seems clear they use Si first and foremost, yet sometimes there is an inexplicable failure of Si (whether to recall an example, access Si info accurately, or to articulate it). I have wondered if there's just _so_ much Si data to sift through that their brains experience a momentary glitch from the overload, or something like that. In Objective Personality, what you describe would probably be attributed to "Feminine Si," but that's another story. In regards to the "tip of the tongue" phenomenon ("TOTs"), the accessibility heuristic would seem to suggest a linkage to strong Si: "The accessibility heuristic states that TOTs are elicited by the quantity and strength of the information that is retrieved from memory when the target word itself is not. When searching for a target word, the more information that is retrieved from memory, and the more the information retrieved is perceived to be related to the target word, the more likely a TOT state will be elicited." However, the blocking hypothesis would seem to suggest Ne interferes: "The blocking hypothesis states that retrieval cues elicit the retrieval of a word related to the target that then blocks the retrieval of the correct word and causes the tip of the tongue phenomenon to occur. In other words, TOTs occur when plausible but incorrect responses to a query come to mind quickly. The person recognizes that the related words are incorrect but cannot retrieve the correct word because it is inhibited. These related words are termed blockers because they block the ability to retrieve the correct word. This accounts for why TOTs predict memory performance. Once the inhibition of the correct word is removed or the blockers are forgotten, the TOT will be resolved." Not exactly the same as remembering events from your life, perhaps, but I suspect it's a similar process involved. Also, whether you're an Si-dom or an Ne-dom, I think Si and Ne are generally always working in tandem with each other, even when one is primarily needed over the other. So whether related to Si or Ne, if both are needed, I might expect that these conflicts arise more often when the distance between them is greater. Anyway, I'm rambling. Just food for thought.
@@heatherbryant4197 That's really interesting. I would agree that it's very possible that the inability to retrieve memories could be attributed to nervousness, which I do relate to quite a bit, though I would expect that nervousness would also interfere with the Ti and Ne tests (at least if it were me being tested). Though if it were the case that both Nick was nervous and that nervousness interferes with PoLR tests, it is interesting that Nick (assuming he was nervous) seemed to do quite well on the Ti tests but couldn't remember certain personal/Si examples when prompted. This would lead me to think that you're right about the TOT phenomenon's link with Si. In my experience, despite having most of the characteristics of someone with dominant Si, I draw a blank whenever I'm asked to remember a specific example of something in my life (e.g., "can you tell me an example of when someone in your life did something that frustrated you?"). In cases like that, It's very possible, as you were talking about, that maybe my brain contains so many examples of any given instance that I struggle to pick one out specifically, and so my brain short circuits. So this could definitely be the result of the TOT phenomenon, and/or some discrepancy that happens with Ne when Si is far enough up in the stack. It could also be the case that Si to a certain extent sort of operates on its own terms, where maybe I can't force myself to remember a specific personal instance of something or a quote from a movie or whatever when prompted, but that these things will just pop into my head at random times as a result of them having made an impression in my mind in the past. I have no idea though. I'm still convinced I'm ISFJ because nothing else makes quite as much sense, despite difficulty with purposefully recalling types of instances from my past.
INTP. I believe Host Eric's "Ti" test is actually checking for the J dichotomy, just my opinion. (he's good at it because he's a TJ, imo.) Plus, I think "Si" is given too much importance (like all the introverted functions). i.e, what's credited to Si is Ne traits, for example. And I mean all of the mbti community is placing too much value on introverted functions, not Eric in particular.
Sigh. Ti tests test something, right? Deductive reasoning skills. And Si tests someting, right? The striking failure of PoLRs is pretty compelling about the linkage. And, more importantly, check your reasoning. If I'm good at Ti because of a Te tool function, then why I am so shitty at Te? Extroverted intuition above or below Si will determine which is subordinate to the other. So, Ne dom remembers Ne kind of things more, while Si dom remembers more Si kind of things, see?
Given the robust substantiation I provide - the consistent frame, the ever growing pile of empirics, the years of actually typing people and testing the test questions, my own complete willingness to scrap models that may have seem promising but didn't pan out, the failure on anyone to negate any of my significant claims at all... What possible reason would you have to think your understanding of Ti is better? Is it because you can't pass the Ti tests but really want to be INTP? (right on the nose, huh?)
How reality played you off😂everybody thinks someone’s an INTP and all we know from these typing videos is that not only a lot of sensors, INFP and ENTP got them mistyped as INTP, even ENTJ INTJ INFJ got mistyped as INTP a lot and rarely it happens otherwise. Just because mostly viewed videos on this channel were made with INTPs and Eric’s focus is pretty much solely on NTP doesn’t mean everyone on this channel are nearly possible to be INTP

that's cause he's canadian... lol joking
Tricky one & I agree. I was a bit thrown off by the fact I couldn't stop thinking he had a lot of Jonathan Groff's INFJ affect in Mindhunter.
If I have a difficult time recalling personal examples on the fly, is that a failure of Si or Ne?
Si low or backstack.
