ENTJ- I usually watch informational videos on a faster playback speed than normal, however, your videos are so dense that I have to watch them on normal speed. More content creators need to be like you lol
Wow, very interesting video. I am an INFJ and it's really amazing how Ni is different when paired with Te. Like when you talked about the phone and using Ni, the first thing that came to my mind is the connectivity that the phone creates between people and how that connectivity affect our society and etc. while you went on to think about the physical properties in relation to space and mass. Ni is very complicated and I realize, very different when paired with other functions. It would have been cool if you had focused on Ni paired with Fe a little more, but it is probably very difficult to explain or understand. Overall, awesome video 😀
I kind of think of Ne/Ni as quanitity/quality, respectfully. Also, my Ni has never stopped me from going to church regularly, as I have most of my life, but it definitely doesn't allow me to conform to a person of authority's ideals. I still rely on my own insights and may only consider theirs. Although, I must admit, as I've matured a lot over the years, I get much more frustrated with "boxes" and legalistic views, feeling less and less connected with any traditional ideas that serve no real purpose. As others said, I also noticed the Te-Ni with your Ni examples, gravitating toward science and numbers, so wasn't as relatable in the details, but I do understand. Thank you so much for your videos! I'm like a kid in a candy store. This was my third or fourth video, and I am definitely going to keep watching more. Great presentation and very comprehensible.
I usually have a harder time with listening comprehension but your presentation really makes it easy for some reason. You do a great job and I'm thankful for these gifts you leave laying about for free. You really help to clarify. Yes, I learned very quickly not to give my ENTJ advice he didn't ask for, which is hard for my big mouth (as you can see). He thinks he's very feminine and not very forceful with his opinions and advice, and it is a little disconcerting how disparate his presentation/actions are from his perceptions of his presentation/actions. Sometimes I visualize him as a bit of a blind elephant in Fe environments, but I really love the ripples and how they shake everything and everyone up lol. Yes, he can totally get overstimulated when I get all excited and start throwing scientific/psychological/sociological/biological/poetic/mystical perspectives simultaneously and try to explain the Ni consilience in my erratic Ne way. As an INTP I sometimes get confused and wonder if I typed myself wrong, because it seems like I use Ni A LOT. If it wasn't for my obvious Si child I'd really think I had. That probably has something to do with the fact that I lived on the street as a kid and wandered into my mid-twenties. Ni would lay out a vision and it didn't take long to realize the folly in not listening. This is the period in which I had my strongest phenomenological experiences of what seems to be defined most accurately as Tao, but at the time I called it "riding life." I can see and feel the separation between Ti/Te, Si/Se, Fi/Fe, and they don't seem to quite meet, whereas, Ni and Ne seem so fluidly interconnected I can't differentiate them in the midst of my process. I'm compartmentalizing and merging everything simultaneously. Perhaps because of the situational need to utilize and adhere to Ni information so consistently and for an extended period of time I've been able to merge the introverted and extroverted tendencies into a more synthesized function? I'm pretty sure it's the exact same thing Goethe did in his process toward the realization of the Urphänomen (Ni/Ne?), Rumi's process toward love (Fi/Fe?), what Nietzsche posited as a coming overman (Ti/Te?)...drawing a blank on Si/Se...Se really trips me up. Are there any books on this type of synthesis? Actually I'm going to go back and read Goethe's scientific work and letters and try to see if I can distinguish what is going on in the light of my growing understanding of the cognitive functions. Is this a consequence of differentiation, the eventual unification? What relationship does it have with the unification of opposites in other domains, and with Jung's concept of uniting the opposites? I feel like I have to go back and reread everything I've ever read all of a sudden. Can parent functions merge easier than other functions in the stack? What was Goethe? What relationship does this have with the divine marriage? Perhaps if I learn to do the same with different functions I can stop this incessant craving to go wander again... the beach at night, the library during the day...is there a giant whiny baby archetype? I'm almost finished with Beebe's Energies and Patterns, and the four other books I'm reading right now and I just got the Nardi book you suggested and the INTP by Drenth.
Very insightful video! I found your comments on religion particularly interesting. I'm an INFJ Christian, and I have worked to discover if and how religion fits into my mental model of the world. I still have some issues with certain aspects of the church, and it bothers me when people seem to accept beliefs without really examining them. But I'm also aware that it is very difficult for me to justify my thoughts, even though I believe that they are right. I think that you articulated Ni insights very well. I have trouble explaining my view of the world to others, and I only really have one friend that I feel comfortable sharing all of my thoughts with because I know she is interested in hearing them. I usually get my thoughts out through writing, and since I've started writing regularly it has felt so freeing.
I somewhat view people as a puzzle, and I want to figure them out. I wish it was more acceptable to ask people 'deep' questions because that's the level that I want to know people on. This analyzing does tend to make me jump to conclusions about people, and I'll feel as though I really understand someone even if I have had very little interaction with them. That quote completely describes how I understand films and literature! I will definitely check out his books. Thanks for making these videos!
I'm INFJ as well, and I have and have written about the same issue with people being satisfied with superficial understanding. We also approach religion in a similar way, and I've seen this same writing style (it seems like I could have written your comment on any given day) in INFJs across the internet. Writing, for me (and I'm sure for you as well) seems to solidify whatever connections I've made that have just been sitting in Ni and helps me bridge it to the outside world. Then, when the outside world needs this concept again (communication, for example) at another time, it's effortless at that point, because you've already "accessed" it before and know where it is.
I am an INFJ-a, I have found that you can actually increase and have control of Introverted intuition process by meditation.. I had practice meditation for many years and found that whatever I want to solve or know with intuition I just meditate on it and insights just hits me.. more often.
LOL!! 35:55 so true! An INTJ and I (INFJ) dated, and that's exactly what happened. He told me to tell him my "life history." It was great and refreshing! When I get to know someone, those are also the questions I tend to ask rather than their "favourite colour" or more "superficial" topics
I LOVED the analogy with Coding I think it worked beautifully with what you're trying to say (and I've been told from friends I would enjoy the Matrix, I should probably watch it now...). You explain things so fluently and so well, I'm honestly amazed. I almost never fail to stumble over my words when I try to share anything, and I look very dumb unless I'm talking to specific types it seems (I've only met ENTPs like that though, but I don't have many ENTP friends on a "deep-conversation" level).
Your analogies reminded me of a recent medical breakthrough. Researchers manipulated the AIDS virus to combat leukemia. But it wasn't actually about the AIDS virus itself. The AIDS virus just happened to have a protein receptor that allowed the immune system to recognize attack cancer cells. It must have taken an incredible insight to reach this conclusion. And it must have taken a huge leap of faith for them to proceed with the human trials. They had to conceive the idea through Ni and prove their theory with Se.
I found this information very helpful and intriguing. (I'm an INFJ with trouble identifying/trusting my intuition, since it's so unconscious. My family is full of Sensors, so I was taught that my NI was unworthy or invalid. But I digress.) I particularly resonated with your Matrix analogies. Seeing the Code, not the object. Brilliant. I'll use this do describe my thought processes to others if it comes up. Do you by any chance have interest in making the notes you were reading available?
Lately I've been questioning if I truly have dominant Ni. You answered that clearly!! I laughed and shook my head a lot during this video because I could see myself in every example you used. I even recently had the situation you described with I guy I started dating! He hated that I did the "interrogation thing", (it wasn't on purpose) wanting to know his past and even a little about past relationships. To me, it makes sense to weigh all that for compatibility sake. He wasn't having any of it. Thought I was going too deep too fast. Lol. Smh. All I can say is I am who I am and compatibility is important to me. I don't want to waste weeks and months getting to know a person superficially only to find we aren't compatible for life. I'm not looking for friends, (I have a very awesome village of people who love me) I'm looking for a life partner. Lol. Maybe that's too harsh but..🤷🏾♀️ sorry not sorry 😂
I finally understand "why" I am always asking so many questions and why I constantly feel incompetent and lacking in some way because I know there's so much to this world that I do not know.
Would love to see you re-create this video with better quality (especially audio). Really is fantastic information to listen to, thank you for sharing your views and knowledge.
You broadcast really good content, I really appreciate your endeavour. It definitely is more explicative than biased (The typical N > S biases we often encounter), and it really clarifies how functions work. It may not be your insights exclusively (as you mentionned), but you definitely worked to compile all the information into a synthesis that's clear and on point! Thank you, and I'll be watching your other one-hour long videos !
When listening to some people describe Ni, even those who at least appear like they have put plenty of work into things, they are describing Ni-Te. But Ni-Fe is gonna look pretty darn different.
Wow..you never too k a breath. What an amazing delivery. To put everything in perspective like you did was brilliant... I dont actually agree with everything ,but it does not mean I dont understand or respect your opinion..Thank you
38:32 is so true too! I ask about exes to know what their pattern is, whether they've learned anything from their past relationships, where they are at in their life, whether we value the same things, etc
really honest feedback and question. I love that you go into detail so much, yet I think it would be awesome if you collect the most important things into the beginning. So that people know what will you talk into detail later on. Also I would LOVE to have a) Timestaps (with the inner questions you want to answer with each part) b) you're notes. Because not everybody is english native speaker and not everybody has a focus on audive learning.
I like how you mentioned how we can hold two supposedly contradictory ideas or concepts and understand how they can coexist in one form or in one paradigm.
Especially when I'm new to a subject, or researching heavily, I can hold all of the info I've gathered simultaneously without judging it. A lot of it can literally be literally contradictory. I will later sort it out, but there is a period of time where I'm just collecting without judgement. (INTJ)
"their thoughts become who they are and they're almost completely independent of the world they live in" Very very true- I was thinking about this recently. In terms of decision- making, I've noticed that sometimes people tend to just follow societal conventions and not make their own decisions based on their personal logic and values. It is possible for a person who does make a decision based on these subjective means to arrive at the same conclusion as what is considered the mainstream decision, but they will have arrived at the decision in a wholly different way. It just so happens that this decision is parallel with societal convention. This may happen so often that their decisions become indistinguishable from that of everyone else's in a large number of, or even all cases (although unlikely). Yet, it is still independent of "the world they live in" because they have arrived at the decision through introspection.
Delaram Hmm. Perhaps, if you're INTJ, it is an Ni thing, or I should just reconsider my type lol Anyway, yeah, it even goes the other way around, too. People go against conventional ideas and just reiterate without any forethought. This herd aspect of human nature is so prevalent and so obvious, that it is *so* bizarre that nobody else sees it. It's lead me the conclusion that a society run by the masses simply cannot work. People always refer some sort of source of power, from the most powerful nations down to the family unit. And that the *only* way a civilization can thrive is under a good leader.
Glute Gains I'm ENTJ, so this whole 'understanding through writing thing' (which you articulated much better than me in another comment on here) may well be to do with Ni. Interesting thoughts, by the way. They vaguely remind me of Plato's idea of the 'philosopher ruler' and he was reportedly INxJ, but of course I'm just speculating. Also, I love your username:)
Delaram Ah, that's really interesting. I haven't read Plato, so I guess that ties into what was said in the video about Ni creating abstractions that do not rely on preexisting systems of thought. LOL thanks, btw. It is the part of my physique that is the most responsive to exercise, so I thought it would be funny to put as my username.
I'm pretty impressed with your knowledge of the functions and how to explain them, thanks for sharing your thoughts... you can tell a lot of work, a lot of thought... went into this. :)
Personally for me (INTJ), I have a keen interest in the past and use it as a predictive tool for the future like Si users do. However, I hate tradition, conformity, and rigid societal structures, and for me I see the past, present, and future as all interconnected. What happened in the past isn't necessarily what will happen in the future, but the past contains lessons that provide patterns for predicting the future. The past also contains ideas that were way ahead of their time that are often worth re-exploring, and often has principles and ideas that have been forgotten or abandoned that can re-invigorate something that has become stale in the present.
I hate to be the guy who comments twice in a row (which is pretty lame) but when I learned programming as a teenager, I literally started seeing the code behind objects out in the real world -- especially trees, which to me are like a living representation of complex algorithms. There may or may not be actual "code" behind objects in the real world -- depending on your world view and beliefs -- but there are certainly algorithms of some sort by which they are driven and structured. And whether it be on an atomic level or a sub-atomic level, these algorithms all have to interact in the outside world interdependently.
Hmm, I've never really seen myself as an Ni type, but what you said about the unknown does resonate. All areas, from art to music to engineering to video games, have curtains around them. They are in a black box. All I can see is the outcome. But then the desire comes to dive into this black box and see the mechanisms. However, once it is clear to me 'how it is made', the magic goes away and my interest fades. I start looking towards something else. This is a dangerous cycle, since the magic will always disappear once the curtains have been lifted. So I'm faced with the decision: Remain in ignorance and experience the magic, or dive in and have this magic disappear. The closer I get to expertise in a certain area, the more I start looking towards different directions. This can almost be classified as self-destructive behaviour, since I rarely finish anything.
I'm glad I stumbled across this video. Excellent structure. Very comprehensive and wise use of contrasting with other functions like Si and Ne while not delving too deep. I found your analogies and examples to be well crafted. I was confused whether I'm an Ni or an Ne dominant. I can consciously make connections between random stuff and going from A→B→... but I find it unnecessary and draining. I ponder long and thoroughly and mostly I'm not aware of what I'm thinking until flashes of insights reach a conclusion and an instant line of reasoning tells me how I reached it and then Te verifies it using established facts decides if it's practically useful. I believe I'm rambling. Though I do say this that I was put off by noticing the duration of the video at the starting but it was totally worth it.
Kartikeya Chauhan well to be fair Ne and Ni are both intuition. Just different directions it leads. Jung defines intuition as ignoring the actual object or sensation and focusing on possibilities or meanings of the object. So in a sense both may seem very similar. But Ne is extraverted. Meaning it focuses on possibilities of direct perception on the outside world. The insights are usually relating the the object itself. Ni is subjective. It needs external data to get insight through Se. Ni then creates insight about the subject. For Ne they don't need data because Ne is the external data while Si is the inward meaning or associate of the possibilities.
27:40 wow! Lol. I was on the dean's list headed into my senior year in college, and was seriously considering dropping out to do music. It's still not off the table, but I'm still gathering my information and honing my skills to make a more prepared step out.
Brilliant video My brother mistypes himself as an intj (while being intp) and is really confusing his Si with Ni. You mentioned how they're both convergent functions and all around just gave 10/10 explanations. Also, ironically I got him the book you mentioned (my true type) as a present to help him grow as a person. (You also mentioned the eye positioning theory that blew me away. As an infj I've picked up a lot of these patterns but could not put them to words. And hearing about someone having this exact insight was a relief that I am onto something).
Nice video. You've explained it well. I can definitely relate to wanting to find the truth and the core of any given situation. For example, my brother decided to prank me by handing me an electric pen (at the time I didn't know it was electric). He asked me to 'fix the broken pen'. He naturally assumed I would first press the back of the pen thereby giving me an electric shock. In attempt to fix it, my first instinct wasn't to press the back , instead I was about take the pen apart to find out where the problem was inside, I was curious about the inner workings of the pen - but my brother stopped me as that would literally break the pen. (And stop him pranking other people) He was surprised that I didn't do the 'normal' thing and press the back of the pen. Oh well, I didn't get shocked at least.
I feel like I know too much, but know that there is so much I don't know, and that makes me depressed because it means the world is more screwed up than I already know it is! Spot on!
So since your a professional i want to see if I have the perception axis defined well. Se: Percieves the world through concrete perception. The world is what it is, it's real. These types trust what they see as real. They like enjoying themselves in the moment and feel living in the present will help them in the future. Si: perceives their inner world through subjective experiences they been through before. Their mind is rich with details of past experiences, it's meaning and how they felt. It's conservative and traditional. They perceive the subject and compares the subject to other experiences they had relating to the subject. Ne: perceive the outer world through curiousity and a search for different possibilities and meanings in the present moment. It's looks behind the lines of reality and searches for the inner meaning or possibilities of the object. These types love exploring the unknown and can catch patterns fairly easily in the external world. Ni: perceives the inner world through ideas and subjective meanings about the subject it perceives. Unlike Ne which searches in the external world for data, Ni uses the data at hand and creates ideas and meaning of the subject at hand. Very imaginative and thoughtful people. Ne-Si views the world through possibilities and prefers to get a wider scope of things. They don't delve in problems right away and prefer to see all options before interpreting the core. They explore the possibilities and use their subjective experiences to find truth. In this axis the world of ideas and patterns is objective while the actual experience of the world is subjective. Example: Look at all these different meanings in the world(Ne) I'll use my own wisdom and experience to define which one I'll use and stick to(Si) Se-Ni views the outside world through concrete and real data. The world itself is real and sure. They then take the concrete information and make their own insights, ideas, theories and subjective meanings about the subject of the data. These types like to delve into problems much quicker than the other axis. Ne-si zooms out while Se-Ni zooms in. For Se-Ni the external world and experience is objective while the hidden meanings and the world of ideas is a subjective manner. Example: Here's the data I've been presented (Se) now let's look between the lines and make my own interpretation of the meaning or underlying theme of it (Ni)
I really like the ideas connecting psychology and mysticism, which is why I love everything that came out of Jung. I often wonder these days, at this point in my life, if I could sit down with a "fantasy guest" or interviewee, or possible mentor, I would choose Jung. I think we could have some great conversations :)
There is so many forms of intuition their is getting an impression from an object in the external environment and how it relates to the impression intuition can be about simulating your whole life as you see it in the future and see it unfolding .Their is also your gut feeling which warns you that this person or situation might not be good for you in the long run . Intuition is like a campus but your relying on impressions since data alone can't provide you with a clear answer.
I'm not visual. I am auditory. The Ni you describe is for Ni-Te users. I could care less about synthesizing the meaning of natural phenomena. I have sound-based models i use to make sense of people's intentions, the emotional atmosphere, the group dynamics at play, and greater social causes worth striving towards for all of life on earth. I totally suck at graphs.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and learned a lot. I myself am type as an infj and struggle to find videos that describe intuition in more than a sound byte. This may sound off topic but I'm sure you'll understand I also enjoyed your word selection, the part of my brain that analyzes verbiage for "errors" in word selection wasn't going off as much as it does when I'm in normal conversation. Though there were a few moment where I was internally saying the words you were searching for during your pauses.
1 Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 1Co 12:10 .... to another discerning of spirits; ..... 1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally (idios, privately) as he will.(wills into manifestation, not just desires)
Sorry, it took me a while to weigh in on my thoughts. I loved the video. It was thought provoking also laid out in a logical manner which I prefer sometimes. The biggest questions and or feeling it left me with was, I am such a dominant introverted intuition user. So much so I wish I could shut if off and be in more of the present. Also I do get disembodiment to my body and from reality. Even though I know it's happening I can't stop it. It feels like my introverted intuition is more of a reality or more of a truer reality, but at very same time and space feels like it's not. You did however bring up some of the things I struggle with the most and of course I started connecting the pattern Within Myself. The disembodiment, the perfectionist, my judging and feeling functions which Collide on a catastrophic level. And last but not least, me trying to articulate the concepts, thoughts, or feelings I have where others can fully understand. It often feels like at times my brain is working at a higher speed then what I can use my mouth. And physically I get imagery that is hard to put into word form. It is a struggle being infj where your introverted intuition picks up everything focusing on so many things all at the same time. Then you have your judging function that is firm in its understanding of what is right and wrong, and how and what order everything must go in order to get the best outcome. Then your feeling function that does not see things so black and white that will dismiss those patterns and my judging function will fall by the wayside. I hope that this makes sense I does not feel like it does lol. I thank you for doing these videos. I am searching for the deeper meanings and understandings of not only the universe but the entire universe that lies within my mind.
My experience with Ni is that I will declare some insight, and it's followed by a desire to explain it to whoever I just pronounced this truth to. I don't immediately have an answer -- I just don't know -- but I find I'm very good at showing my work, if I'm given a few minutes, and the room to be able to concentrate. There's always a moment of faint panic at first, because I don't how to explain what I've just proclaimed. However I've always been able to clearly articulate a well-reasoned point of view, if given a bit of time. On occasion, I literally shock myself at the depth of insight I just blurt out, especially once I think about it and check my own work. (INTJ)
I heard your comment about not getting your belief in God from an institution, but by your insights that led you to the conclusion. This has been my experience as well . If I understand you correctly on that thought
"For this reason, though, it would not be uncommon to see an introverted intuitive, who seems as if they have everything together, all of a sudden abandon everything and begin a brand new course in order to pursue the unknown again." So true. When I was younger, sometimes I would get really serious about my Pokemon game. Serious to the point of pulling up tabs of online walkthroughs, trying to plan the best course so I could beat the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Champion as efficiently as possible. Whenever I found a hole in my plan I pretty much restarted the game and edited my plans. I constantly restarted the game over and over for a while.
2 unrelated things: Door Sky Open enough doors in your journey through life and you'll discover new pathways. Do that, and the sky is the limit. This came to me instantaneously after randomly picking two 'untelated' objects.
Can you include the citation of the author you referenced at 42:35 (Dr. A.J. ?? Drinth?)? You said his name so fast that I couldn't make it out even when I tried to replay it multiple times. I'm interested in checking out the book.
This is really weird but as I was listening with my eyes closed for the whole video I for some reason had a thought that the video was at 12:16 and I looked and indeed it was.
Hold on... you're right and wrong about asking someone their favorite color or whether their favorite show is Vampire Diaries -- because you can actually gleen some pretty good insight into what makes someone tick through those questions. What I mean is, those things are indeed shallow, but an Ni user(or at least myself) would draw deeper conclusions about the person from those things. For what it's worth. You're definitely right about gossip being irrelevant to Ni users(or at least myself). It's so pronounced, that even when I've made a conscious decision to engage in gossip for someone else's benefit, I completely forgot about it. The thing about the way someone brushes their hair and will therefore end up a lonely old cat lady.... HA ! I've done that, not gonna lie.
The speed at which you speak, wedded with the poor sound quality of the mic can make it pretty hard to understand a follow at times. But that's ok. I'm going to download this vid with a RUclips converter and watch it at 90% speed :)
When you took the pen and said what does it brings when you look at it. Just for comparison sake I stopped what I was doing (because I was only listening to the audio) to look at the pen (before hearing what you had to say about it) and I thought about a similar pen I have bought in the past. I remembered the city I bought it in, the shop, the women that sold it to me, the situation I was in that time. My mother has been sick at the time, and I traveled there to help her out with the appointment etc. I remembered traveling often and bringing that similar pen with me in my baggage at hand, when I was traveling often. I'm an INTP. I guess my child Si acted out a bit. Interesting, I will test that thing out on some people.
25:33 - 29:33. I have to admit it I wasnt sure if I'm infj but that description about Ni users, it's really me 🙃 I thought the reason should be I'm e5 but Ni + e5, that's tough😐
I have found it's best to camouflage my questions, "What is the first law you would make if you were our Prime Minister?", "What's your favorite time of year?" (for example).
Correct me if I'm wrong. Ni users will take a situation from the past and be able to see why it happens and the patterns of how it could happen again. Then they dive deep into different ways this situation could happen again to form plans to avoid the same mistakes? While Si users will take what happened from the past to form a plan of action of how to avoid the same problem but with out seeing the other ways the problem could manifest? Is this correct?
This video made me realize how obnoxious it is for me to make videos rambling in front of a camera for an hour and all I could think about watching this was the necessity for me to buy myself a better camera and focus on improving the quality of my videos in the new year. Not that I'm trying to come off as an asshole, its just that this video was so distracting all i could do was slip out of the present moment and reflect on some much needed epiphanies about delivering good video quality. Frankly, if all your videos were in this style, I would consider critical feedback kind of offensive, but the fact is, I came here after watching your Fe/Fi videos, and they were so comprehensive and well made that I feel somewhat obligated as a viewer to tell you that we would like to see all 8 cog function videos delivered as a uniform set. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately I no longer do Typology videos. There is plenty of good content out there that is far more suited to what you’re looking for. What’s more interesting is many people hated my newer style and much preferred this style. So, I guess to each their own. Although I did prefer the newer style over this, much as you did. Anyway, good luck with your videos and channel.
@@TrueGenerations that's interesting so many disliked the newer style. i get sick of mbti anyway, your newer videos look more like my thing. i will check them out.
Right. I learned that you can’t please everyone early on. When I said “newer” I didn’t mean my newest, that returned to this style, but rather the last few videos of “MBTV”
We appreciate the feedback. Anything you may want us to cover in our content, or, anything that can help us grow our channel is always appreciated. Thank you, we want you to be more involved with our mission and our community! Like our content, and into MBTI? Join our MBTI chatrooms! bit.ly/mbtvslackchat -Daniel
Joshua L one can know something without experiencing it. You know you will die when you jump off of a 10 story building, yet you've never experienced it.
I'm still fairly new to MBTI, but my Ni is off the charts. I have ADHD, and have spent... I can comfortably say... 70% my time alone, since I was a child. I have always felt like an outcast. Lol... Sooo... when it comes to me making a decision, about something or someone... If my intuition, green lights me on some set of circumstances or event... I honestly, could not give a F@#%... Whatever it is, that Whomever it is... has to say about my decision. I can completely understand... how some, would probably consider this to be idiotic or pig headed, but... When "You"... can give me, the type of results/track record, that "My" introverted intuition... I also like to refer to as... The ol' "Spider Sense" Lol... Then, Maaaybe... I'll listen to You... More Often. 😅
As an ENFP , This have been bothering me a long time. How can I experience Ni despite being a shadow function? , It seems Ni Users have some use of Ne, while I have absolutely no way to perceive Ni impressions in objects.
It'll develop over time, Ni is difficult because you really can't force it. When I go into a deep session of rumination I get most of my insights, sometimes it just comes to me. From an INTJ
Sometimes I check if the channel likes every other comment or is it just me. Am I special to the channel in any form or way 😂 I can't really tell, sometimes chamon or dad , chad or Damon likes some of my silliest comments and that makes me feel pretty special. I really hope I'm not jinxing it with this one though , take care and loads of love 😘
True Generations if slack happens to be an actual place or a corporation , then no. If it's a behavioural reference (i hope not), then yes, maybe. If it's two words combined to make one to get back for 'dad' and 'chamon', then no I'm not a slut and I'm not whack.
" They know they had a lot that they don't know and it plagues them." (Don't know if that's exactly what he said) This is something that bugs me all through out my life living in here. Some people would say it's nothing but IT IS A PROBLEM FOR ME, BRUH.
Fi-Te people objectify others all the time, whether they have Ni or not, lol. For Sensors, it typically results in the stereotypical guy with very beautiful, sensitive, never-shared feelings (Fi) falling for a woman/girl with no brains but a nice set of boobs and ass (Te object-based ideals). It can also, especially for intuitive types manifest as this kind of first date inquisition because Fi doesn't care about the emotional state of the other person. It wants to objectively assess whether this person is organizing their life effectively and moving towards achievement. The Ni-Fe people also ask those deep questions on first dates, by the way. But we do so with more social grace and charm, creating an emotional space and atmosphere which allows for more organic opening to take place. Fe-Ti people use these questions to assess if this is a moral person with the same vision towards life as them. Can I trust this person? Can this person help me be a better person? Can I help this person? Does this person inspire me? We don't care about "competence at life". We care about the inner lives of people and whether our own can find a home in theirs (emotional melting pot of Fe). Ni doesn't objectify people. Fi-Te people do.
I completely agree! (INFJ here.) I thought a lot of the examples were Ni-Te, totally, which makes sense, tho, since he's a dominant Te user. When I look at objects, for instance, my insight does not go in the direction of numbers and science. Usually I will notice the purpose and meaning, or maybe how or why, and all before I consciously really notice the actual object itself. However, I do still absolutely love Damon's logic and explanation skills. While I don't always directly or personally relate, I feel like I'm at least wrapping my head around it, which I'm loving.
Moonie Bo This one thing that's frustrating me as an INTP trying to understand Ni, I'm not a conscious Ni user, but I find that INTJS and ENTJS misplace the influence of their other cognitive functions as aspects of Ni.
Maybe this helps For Ni all the other functions is simply data inputs... With Ni-Se it's real easy to see..... Anything we do or see, we can visualize in our head and we visualize scenarios, (Te) how shit is done :P But ofc everything we do do have a point. (Fi) but why is that our goal? Ni is where all the datapoint connect...
I thoroughly enjoyed Atlas Shrugged. Like, thoroughly. I tend to like stuff with a bit more of a dark side, so it's a departure from my "esthetic" preference, but I loved it anyway. (INTJ)
Totally upto you but I believe you can set a more inviting thumbnail to your videos so that it may get more views. People might miss out on this great stuff just because of the views counter, thumbnail or the duration.
Since this video was made, we definitely have set a time-limit on the length of our "instructional" videos. However, that is not the case for livestreams (yet). As for the thumbnails, this has been really a piece of work. We strive for something that looks good, yet generates clicks. I am particularly not a fan of the standard ugly, big-headed, RUclips thumbnails, yet they get clicks. So I'm going to have to toss that around a bit. Unless you have ideas. -Damon
Question about Independence of Mind: You said that Ni Types dont want to someone to "teach" someone their insights. But arn't all information we get be get to build our insights, be it from a book or a person, brought to us anyway?
Granas1988 - I believe he meant we don't want to have someone synthesize the information for us. We want to synthesize the data ourselves, fill in our own code, & generate our own insight. But we can get the data or information from anywhere. I can highly relate to not wanting outside insights as much because I like to form my own conclusions. One of my best friends has complained multiple times that she'll listen to my advice but I never take hers. I like to consider other people's advice, but in the end it's going to be my own insight & conclusion that I follow, because I trust it most.
iPhone: Apple, the first trillion dollar company - innovation as a result of competition, ambition, a societal desire for the new and novel - their logo having become a status symbol and the ability of a small object held to the face to draw out conclusions about and individual. It represents both the remarkable ingenuity and simplistic motives of humanity. There is one train, there are so many more. I feel like if you give someone with less developed Ni an iPhone and try to get them to perceive it deeply, they may still try to grasp it with sensation. Place an iPhone in front of someone and ask them what it means..... I feel like there is some good research to be done here. :)
hey veru interestng i have a question tho,so you say ni doms would thrife the best if they are in a relaxed or meditative state?quetsion1)would acual meditation improve an ni dom question2)when you say ni gets there flashes on insight that comes at random moments how does those flashes feel like is it a spontamous insight that just appears or is it a sunconsious click that suddenly becomes apparent?
Re. 2) I think the Se data that we've taken in churns away in our subconscious and Ni spits out a conclusion; this will seem to the INFJ like a Eureka moment.
Could you explain the difference between Ti and Ni? I have done many tests and I am sure the first 2 is IN but I have trouble in figuring out the remaining.I was tested as INTP,INFJ,INFP,but when I read through their descriptions I don't think anyone of them matches with my personality(I think I'm a combinations between them).I almost never use Te but I am not sure on Ni and Ti.
Hey Dai man, I'm currently working on the Ti video and it should be released in the next week. Ni&Ti could either be ISTP or INFJ (generally speaking). Ti is logic, Ni is abstract. Ti is coming to decisions, Ni is perception. And most people aren't a "pure" type. They are just closer to one type than another.
Alright, not on the ni topic, but i heard it isn't usually possible for someone to have Fi and Ti, but I feel like i have both. I have always tried to figure out how things where created with a philosophy of 'if something exists we can discover how it exists.' meaning if a human created it we can discover the origins of said humans discoverys and discover it again. But, I also understand introverted feeling and i feel that I have this as well. Maybe i have Te and Ti both developed well because i don't really disregard information that isn't from the external world and will think about it. But, I wont disregard deeper feeling as well and will continue to dwelve into this inner world to discover its happenings. So I am just confused, because its not supposed to be a thing where one has developed both Fi and Ti in this way? Maybe i have Te because i do know how to make sense of the information in a way that Te does. But, i don't feel like i leave a mess in my wake ... so confusing.
You should look into Beebe's 8 function model and Socionics with it's Model A, both explain how sometimes it looks like we use certain functions that we shouldn't be able to use if we only use 4 out of 8 functions (which, in my opinion, we don't). I'm assuming you're an INTP (INTj in socionics)? Maybe? Just gonna use INTP as an example to help clear up confusion. As an INTP that means Fi is your role function. This means that although you understand how Fi works you usually put it aside because you value the other introverted judging function Ti over Fi. Meanwhile Te is your opposing/ignoring function, which means you understand Te even more so than you would understand Fi and would know how to use it, however you mostly ignore Te because it directly opposes Ti. Main point, I wouldn't be too worried if it seems like you use multiple functions because basically you *do.* What matters is your preference to each function and which ones you value over others. An INTP would value Fe over Te despite it being weaker. Therefore you should ask yourself if you value the Ti/Fe pairing or the Te/Fi pairing? I hope I was able to help.
Tulop INTP's actually secretly use Fi, like they use Fe, since it is the inferior. Whereas ENTP's are clueless to their own emotions or how to deal with them.
Yes, you can prove to yourself that there is a God. 1) Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 1 Kings 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice (inserted thought). 2) 1 John 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak (inserted thought) of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 3) Deuteronomy 13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice (inserted thought), and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. 4) Job 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. Try praying one of these in the name of Jesus Christ.
Concerning spirit and soul these are theological words that are synonyms for spirit=mind, consciousness while soul=personality, character. 1) Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 2) 1Co_3:13 Every man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character) shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 1Co_3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 1Co_3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 1Pe_1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character), pass the time of your sojourning (temporary residence) here in fear: 3) Using the Court's rules of evidence compare this very short video to what is below. ruclips.net/video/8VB6h_bWR3Y/видео.html which is Spirit Science 9 ~ Astral Projection. “Earth’s Earliest Ages” by H. G. Pember, on page 253: “Man is a spirit in prison, and so he must be content to abide, until God unlocks the door of his Cell. But if he will have instant enjoyment by a premature excitation of potentialities which are reserved for future development, he can only do so feloniously breaking through his dungeon bars, and thus shattering the harmony of his present nature.” And on pages 255-6 “For our body appears to be not only a prison, but also a fortress, and is, not improbably, devised for the very purpose of sheltering us in some degree from the corrupting influence of demons. In its normal condition it effectually repels their more open and violent assaults: but if once we suffer the fence to be broken down, we are no longer able to restore it, and are henceforth exposed to the attacks of malignant enemies.” Job 38:21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great? (You know because you were born then, the number of your days is great) 1 Corinthians 15:44 … There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. Ecclesiastes 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed ... (by dying) Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. (Temporal material reality is a bubble in eternal spiritual reality) Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men (spirit, mind, consciousness) once to die (separate from God like Adam), but after this the judgment (Krisis of rejoining God): Psalms 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; …..; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Compare the above to, the medical model of “Man as a Machine” with the Leonardo da Vinci drawing of a man in a circle (Vitruvian Man) which views the human mind as the product of the body just as a song is the product of a musical instrument. Then consider the human predators known as psychopaths. Thomas Sheridan has a lot of RUclips videos on Psychopaths. These people are extremely dangerous but wear a "Mask of Sanity" even though they are morally insane “Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing” and “Without Conscience.” I did not read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago but he is said to have said that he asked the old people why all this happened and they said because we forgot about God and that after Solzhenitsyn did the research he could not do a better summary. Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot were political psychopaths. In psychiatric theory as taught in medical school, the ultimate goal of every human being is to pass along as many copies of their DNA as possible and this is evaluated based on adaptation verse maladaptation of Social Darwinism. Psychopaths are the ultimate adapter and the male psychopath has 10-12 kids I have read making them A+ mentally healthy. The fraudian psychiatric theory is based on the evolution of atheistic scientific materialism, not the theological standard of good and evil which will not fit into psychoanalysis other than as a type of neurosis or psychosis (Moses talking to an inanimate object, a burning bush). If you believe in Big Bang and Evolution, what that boils down to is that you believe that your great ancestor was a rock while your great progeny will be a self-evolving computer. In Scientific American years ago they had an article on machine intelligence which came to the conclusion that machine intelligence will out evolve us but be our offspring. Also in Scientific American Archives creationism is listed as a type of evolution of technology. This atheistic scientific materialistic evolution is supposed to be occurring on many planets (like in Star Trek) so there will be many of these self-evolving immortal life forms that primitive people used to think were gods like in Hinduism but atheistic scientific materialism is smart enough to know that they are not gods but rather immortal self-evolved life forms.” By Kent J. Nauman exMD (Axis I schizophrenia (chronic))
You are correct but using circular reasoning. The scientific model uses the following presumptions: 1) explain without referring to God, 2) the doctrine of uniformitarianism, 3) the experimental or empiric method, and usually unspoken 4) atheistic scientific materialism. I have heard that 92% of the American Academy of Science are atheists. Therefore both God and Noah's flood are absolutely scientifically impossible. However, please consider the following, 1) Evolution is false on an eighth-grade rational man level. The evolutionary theory fits into the exact shape of a classic snow cone just replace the ice chips with new species and positive mutations which do not exist but should be commonplace. At the point of the snow cone is the "origins of life" which after over fifty years they do not have a mechanism for a self-replicating protein. The canning industry puts all the parts into a can billions of times a year and depends on neobiogenesis not occurring. Information science shows that DNA can only degrade. Currently, we are in the sixth extinction crisis that of large animals such as the lion, cheetah, and giraffe. Extinction crises are not predicted by the evolutionary theory but rather more and more new species. Creation is an upside down snow cone which is devolving through entropy to the extinction of the biosphere just as we are seeing. God bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Kent J. Nauman ex-MD (axis I schizophrenia (chronic)) 2) ruclips.net/video/bnQ63AOrs6s/видео.html which is Dr. Amit Goswami - 'Consciousness, Quantum Physics and Being Human' - by Iain McNay and ruclips.net/video/KR3Msi1YeXQ/видео.html which is The Black Hole Wars: My Battle with Stephen Hawking which shows that the universe is a holographic creation of the Creator and that Rene Descartes Meditations is correct not physicalism. 3) ruclips.net/video/fk4YqPtvJao/видео.html which is Under The Dome - Full Documentary and has over 4 million views.
Hope so! Because the appreciation for beauty is one of the greatest things there is, and it is so fundamental in INFJs, and I'm quite sure it plays out in it's own way for INTJs as well.
What is puzzling is that extroverted sensing is INFJ's fourth function and its least developed but INFJs seem to have an incredible sensitivity to beauty. This is what I was hoping Damon would shed some light on. I strongly agree that INFJ has this intense sensitivity to beauty as INFJs are the most poetic of writers; I also feel that they have a profound insight into how powerful beauty is and the effects it can have on humanity.
@@Neiljjm that is due to the inferior/aspirational attitude of your 4th function. It is very insecure but very willing and capable if given a welcomed challenge.
@@Neiljjm oh definitely Ni plays a major role in our sensitivity to beauty, no disagreement here. I think having the Se in the 4th slot is what leads to us having very particular and strong tastes. Whether it be music, poetry, sports, dance or acting, our Se combines with Ni for an extordinary focus into our craft.
Those deep questions is what I'm infamous for when I get to know people :D beside I actually didnt find myself so much in it... even though i thouht i would be an INFJ...
I really appreciate this video and the way you describe everything. It's very insightful, in my opinion, and I find it more true now than the first time I watched this video. (I originally watched this video about a year ago).
![Noob To Max With DRAGON REWORK In Blox Fruits [FULL MOVIE]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/LnBMOinoOvA/mqdefault.jpg)
ENTJ- I usually watch informational videos on a faster playback speed than normal, however, your videos are so dense that I have to watch them on normal speed. More content creators need to be like you lol
That's the ultimate compliment dude 😂 -INTJ
"Most Ni users know how much they don't know and it plagues them". So quotable... If only people understood... -sigh-
Wow, very interesting video. I am an INFJ and it's really amazing how Ni is different when paired with Te. Like when you talked about the phone and using Ni, the first thing that came to my mind is the connectivity that the phone creates between people and how that connectivity affect our society and etc. while you went on to think about the physical properties in relation to space and mass. Ni is very complicated and I realize, very different when paired with other functions. It would have been cool if you had focused on Ni paired with Fe a little more, but it is probably very difficult to explain or understand. Overall, awesome video 😀
I kind of think of Ne/Ni as quanitity/quality, respectfully. Also, my Ni has never stopped me from going to church regularly, as I have most of my life, but it definitely doesn't allow me to conform to a person of authority's ideals. I still rely on my own insights and may only consider theirs. Although, I must admit, as I've matured a lot over the years, I get much more frustrated with "boxes" and legalistic views, feeling less and less connected with any traditional ideas that serve no real purpose. As others said, I also noticed the Te-Ni with your Ni examples, gravitating toward science and numbers, so wasn't as relatable in the details, but I do understand. Thank you so much for your videos! I'm like a kid in a candy store. This was my third or fourth video, and I am definitely going to keep watching more. Great presentation and very comprehensible.
I usually have a harder time with listening comprehension but your presentation really makes it easy for some reason. You do a great job and I'm thankful for these gifts you leave laying about for free. You really help to clarify.
Yes, I learned very quickly not to give my ENTJ advice he didn't ask for, which is hard for my big mouth (as you can see). He thinks he's very feminine and not very forceful with his opinions and advice, and it is a little disconcerting how disparate his presentation/actions are from his perceptions of his presentation/actions. Sometimes I visualize him as a bit of a blind elephant in Fe environments, but I really love the ripples and how they shake everything and everyone up lol.
Yes, he can totally get overstimulated when I get all excited and start throwing scientific/psychological/sociological/biological/poetic/mystical perspectives simultaneously and try to explain the Ni consilience in my erratic Ne way.
As an INTP I sometimes get confused and wonder if I typed myself wrong, because it seems like I use Ni A LOT. If it wasn't for my obvious Si child I'd really think I had. That probably has something to do with the fact that I lived on the street as a kid and wandered into my mid-twenties. Ni would lay out a vision and it didn't take long to realize the folly in not listening. This is the period in which I had my strongest phenomenological experiences of what seems to be defined most accurately as Tao, but at the time I called it "riding life." I can see and feel the separation between Ti/Te, Si/Se, Fi/Fe, and they don't seem to quite meet, whereas, Ni and Ne seem so fluidly interconnected I can't differentiate them in the midst of my process. I'm compartmentalizing and merging everything simultaneously.
Perhaps because of the situational need to utilize and adhere to Ni information so consistently and for an extended period of time I've been able to merge the introverted and extroverted tendencies into a more synthesized function? I'm pretty sure it's the exact same thing Goethe did in his process toward the realization of the Urphänomen (Ni/Ne?), Rumi's process toward love (Fi/Fe?), what Nietzsche posited as a coming overman (Ti/Te?)...drawing a blank on Si/Se...Se really trips me up. Are there any books on this type of synthesis? Actually I'm going to go back and read Goethe's scientific work and letters and try to see if I can distinguish what is going on in the light of my growing understanding of the cognitive functions. Is this a consequence of differentiation, the eventual unification? What relationship does it have with the unification of opposites in other domains, and with Jung's concept of uniting the opposites?
I feel like I have to go back and reread everything I've ever read all of a sudden. Can parent functions merge easier than other functions in the stack? What was Goethe? What relationship does this have with the divine marriage?
Perhaps if I learn to do the same with different functions I can stop this incessant craving to go wander again...
the beach at night, the library during the day...is there a giant whiny baby archetype?
I'm almost finished with Beebe's Energies and Patterns, and the four other books I'm reading right now and I just got the Nardi book you suggested and the INTP by Drenth.
Happy I found this channel man!
Precise, fast and clear. Subscribed.
Very insightful video! I found your comments on religion particularly interesting. I'm an INFJ Christian, and I have worked to discover if and how religion fits into my mental model of the world. I still have some issues with certain aspects of the church, and it bothers me when people seem to accept beliefs without really examining them. But I'm also aware that it is very difficult for me to justify my thoughts, even though I believe that they are right. I think that you articulated Ni insights very well. I have trouble explaining my view of the world to others, and I only really have one friend that I feel comfortable sharing all of my thoughts with because I know she is interested in hearing them. I usually get my thoughts out through writing, and since I've started writing regularly it has felt so freeing.
I somewhat view people as a puzzle, and I want to figure them out. I wish it was more acceptable to ask people 'deep' questions because that's the level that I want to know people on. This analyzing does tend to make me jump to conclusions about people, and I'll feel as though I really understand someone even if I have had very little interaction with them. That quote completely describes how I understand films and literature! I will definitely check out his books. Thanks for making these videos!
I'm INFJ as well, and I have and have written about the same issue with people being satisfied with superficial understanding. We also approach religion in a similar way, and I've seen this same writing style (it seems like I could have written your comment on any given day) in INFJs across the internet. Writing, for me (and I'm sure for you as well) seems to solidify whatever connections I've made that have just been sitting in Ni and helps me bridge it to the outside world. Then, when the outside world needs this concept again (communication, for example) at another time, it's effortless at that point, because you've already "accessed" it before and know where it is.
Although I'm not INFJ, I relate to this 100%
I am an INFJ-a, I have found that you can actually increase and have control of Introverted intuition process by meditation.. I had practice meditation for many years and found that whatever I want to solve or know with intuition I just meditate on it and insights just hits me.. more often.
Same, they come to me when I am not thinking as hard or when I am relaxed.
Brilliant video man, you were extremely thorough, and insightful. From one ENTJ to another, keep up the exceptional work!
i realy like the style of your explanation. not like others youtubers that just copying definition from internet.
You have a lot of self-awareness 🙌🏼 Thank you for this video and the examples that you gave to further explain yourself.
LOL!! 35:55 so true! An INTJ and I (INFJ) dated, and that's exactly what happened. He told me to tell him my "life history." It was great and refreshing! When I get to know someone, those are also the questions I tend to ask rather than their "favourite colour" or more "superficial" topics
I LOVED the analogy with Coding I think it worked beautifully with what you're trying to say (and I've been told from friends I would enjoy the Matrix, I should probably watch it now...). You explain things so fluently and so well, I'm honestly amazed. I almost never fail to stumble over my words when I try to share anything, and I look very dumb unless I'm talking to specific types it seems (I've only met ENTPs like that though, but I don't have many ENTP friends on a "deep-conversation" level).
Your analogies reminded me of a recent medical breakthrough. Researchers manipulated the AIDS virus to combat leukemia. But it wasn't actually about the AIDS virus itself. The AIDS virus just happened to have a protein receptor that allowed the immune system to recognize attack cancer cells.
It must have taken an incredible insight to reach this conclusion. And it must have taken a huge leap of faith for them to proceed with the human trials. They had to conceive the idea through Ni and prove their theory with Se.
I found this information very helpful and intriguing. (I'm an INFJ with trouble identifying/trusting my intuition, since it's so unconscious. My family is full of Sensors, so I was taught that my NI was unworthy or invalid. But I digress.)
I particularly resonated with your Matrix analogies. Seeing the Code, not the object. Brilliant. I'll use this do describe my thought processes to others if it comes up.
Do you by any chance have interest in making the notes you were reading available?
Lately I've been questioning if I truly have dominant Ni. You answered that clearly!! I laughed and shook my head a lot during this video because I could see myself in every example you used. I even recently had the situation you described with I guy I started dating! He hated that I did the "interrogation thing", (it wasn't on purpose) wanting to know his past and even a little about past relationships. To me, it makes sense to weigh all that for compatibility sake. He wasn't having any of it. Thought I was going too deep too fast. Lol. Smh. All I can say is I am who I am and compatibility is important to me. I don't want to waste weeks and months getting to know a person superficially only to find we aren't compatible for life. I'm not looking for friends, (I have a very awesome village of people who love me) I'm looking for a life partner. Lol. Maybe that's too harsh but..🤷🏾♀️ sorry not sorry 😂
I finally understand "why" I am always asking so many questions and why I constantly feel incompetent and lacking in some way because I know there's so much to this world that I do not know.
Would love to see you re-create this video with better quality (especially audio). Really is fantastic information to listen to, thank you for sharing your views and knowledge.
You broadcast really good content, I really appreciate your endeavour. It definitely is more explicative than biased (The typical N > S biases we often encounter), and it really clarifies how functions work. It may not be your insights exclusively (as you mentionned), but you definitely worked to compile all the information into a synthesis that's clear and on point! Thank you, and I'll be watching your other one-hour long videos !
I appreciate your compliments. I never thought I'd make it through the one hour videos.
When listening to some people describe Ni, even those who at least appear like they have put plenty of work into things, they are describing Ni-Te. But Ni-Fe is gonna look pretty darn different.
Yes. Ni-Fe is something else entirely.
Wow..you never too k a breath. What an amazing delivery. To put everything in perspective like you did was brilliant... I dont actually agree with everything ,but it does not mean I dont understand or respect your opinion..Thank you
SpiceRadio504 really
38:32 is so true too! I ask about exes to know what their pattern is, whether they've learned anything from their past relationships, where they are at in their life, whether we value the same things, etc
really honest feedback and question. I love that you go into detail so much, yet I think it would be awesome if you collect the most important things into the beginning. So that people know what will you talk into detail later on.
Also I would LOVE to have a) Timestaps (with the inner questions you want to answer with each part) b) you're notes. Because not everybody is english native speaker and not everybody has a focus on audive learning.
I like how you mentioned how we can hold two supposedly contradictory ideas or concepts and understand how they can coexist in one form or in one paradigm.
Especially when I'm new to a subject, or researching heavily, I can hold all of the info I've gathered simultaneously without judging it. A lot of it can literally be literally contradictory. I will later sort it out, but there is a period of time where I'm just collecting without judgement. (INTJ)
"their thoughts become who they are and they're almost completely independent of the world they live in" Very very true- I was thinking about this recently. In terms of decision- making, I've noticed that sometimes people tend to just follow societal conventions and not make their own decisions based on their personal logic and values. It is possible for a person who does make a decision based on these subjective means to arrive at the same conclusion as what is considered the mainstream decision, but they will have arrived at the decision in a wholly different way. It just so happens that this decision is parallel with societal convention. This may happen so often that their decisions become indistinguishable from that of everyone else's in a large number of, or even all cases (although unlikely). Yet, it is still independent of "the world they live in" because they have arrived at the decision through introspection.
I read one and a half sentences - INFJ?
nope haha
Delaram Hmm. Perhaps, if you're INTJ, it is an Ni thing, or I should just reconsider my type lol
Anyway, yeah, it even goes the other way around, too. People go against conventional ideas and just reiterate without any forethought. This herd aspect of human nature is so prevalent and so obvious, that it is *so* bizarre that nobody else sees it.
It's lead me the conclusion that a society run by the masses simply cannot work. People always refer some sort of source of power, from the most powerful nations down to the family unit. And that the *only* way a civilization can thrive is under a good leader.
Glute Gains I'm ENTJ, so this whole 'understanding through writing thing' (which you articulated much better than me in another comment on here) may well be to do with Ni. Interesting thoughts, by the way. They vaguely remind me of Plato's idea of the 'philosopher ruler' and he was reportedly INxJ, but of course I'm just speculating. Also, I love your username:)
Delaram Ah, that's really interesting. I haven't read Plato, so I guess that ties into what was said in the video about Ni creating abstractions that do not rely on preexisting systems of thought.
LOL thanks, btw. It is the part of my physique that is the most responsive to exercise, so I thought it would be funny to put as my username.
I'm pretty impressed with your knowledge of the functions and how to explain them, thanks for sharing your thoughts... you can tell a lot of work, a lot of thought... went into this. :)

Llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
This video is legendary!!
sometimes I get a flash in my eye during an ‘aha’ moment
Personally for me (INTJ), I have a keen interest in the past and use it as a predictive tool for the future like Si users do. However, I hate tradition, conformity, and rigid societal structures, and for me I see the past, present, and future as all interconnected. What happened in the past isn't necessarily what will happen in the future, but the past contains lessons that provide patterns for predicting the future. The past also contains ideas that were way ahead of their time that are often worth re-exploring, and often has principles and ideas that have been forgotten or abandoned that can re-invigorate something that has become stale in the present.
I hate to be the guy who comments twice in a row (which is pretty lame) but when I learned programming as a teenager, I literally started seeing the code behind objects out in the real world -- especially trees, which to me are like a living representation of complex algorithms. There may or may not be actual "code" behind objects in the real world -- depending on your world view and beliefs -- but there are certainly algorithms of some sort by which they are driven and structured. And whether it be on an atomic level or a sub-atomic level, these algorithms all have to interact in the outside world interdependently.
I'm an INTJ-A and I really resonated with the code analogy.
I'm ok with your speed. Actually, I'd say I'm ok with another 50% increase.
Hmm, I've never really seen myself as an Ni type, but what you said about the unknown does resonate. All areas, from art to music to engineering to video games, have curtains around them. They are in a black box. All I can see is the outcome. But then the desire comes to dive into this black box and see the mechanisms. However, once it is clear to me 'how it is made', the magic goes away and my interest fades. I start looking towards something else. This is a dangerous cycle, since the magic will always disappear once the curtains have been lifted. So I'm faced with the decision: Remain in ignorance and experience the magic, or dive in and have this magic disappear. The closer I get to expertise in a certain area, the more I start looking towards different directions. This can almost be classified as self-destructive behaviour, since I rarely finish anything.
I like how you used your personal experience to relate! Thanks!
I'm glad I stumbled across this video. Excellent structure. Very comprehensive and wise use of contrasting with other functions like Si and Ne while not delving too deep. I found your analogies and examples to be well crafted. I was confused whether I'm an Ni or an Ne dominant. I can consciously make connections between random stuff and going from A→B→... but I find it unnecessary and draining. I ponder long and thoroughly and mostly I'm not aware of what I'm thinking until flashes of insights reach a conclusion and an instant line of reasoning tells me how I reached it and then Te verifies it using established facts decides if it's practically useful. I believe I'm rambling. Though I do say this that I was put off by noticing the duration of the video at the starting but it was totally worth it.
Kartikeya Chauhan well to be fair Ne and Ni are both intuition. Just different directions it leads. Jung defines intuition as ignoring the actual object or sensation and focusing on possibilities or meanings of the object. So in a sense both may seem very similar. But Ne is extraverted. Meaning it focuses on possibilities of direct perception on the outside world. The insights are usually relating the the object itself. Ni is subjective. It needs external data to get insight through Se. Ni then creates insight about the subject. For Ne they don't need data because Ne is the external data while Si is the inward meaning or associate of the possibilities.
Thanks for sharing this information, it's been super insightful for me. From an Ni-dom
27:40 wow! Lol. I was on the dean's list headed into my senior year in college, and was seriously considering dropping out to do music. It's still not off the table, but I'm still gathering my information and honing my skills to make a more prepared step out.
Brilliant video
My brother mistypes himself as an intj (while being intp) and is really confusing his Si with Ni. You mentioned how they're both convergent functions and all around just gave 10/10 explanations.
Also, ironically I got him the book you mentioned (my true type) as a present to help him grow as a person.
(You also mentioned the eye positioning theory that blew me away. As an infj I've picked up a lot of these patterns but could not put them to words. And hearing about someone having this exact insight was a relief that I am onto something).
Nice video. You've explained it well.
I can definitely relate to wanting to find the truth and the core of any given situation. For example, my brother decided to prank me by handing me an electric pen (at the time I didn't know it was electric). He asked me to 'fix the broken pen'. He naturally assumed I would first press the back of the pen thereby giving me an electric shock.
In attempt to fix it, my first instinct wasn't to press the back , instead I was about take the pen apart to find out where the problem was inside, I was curious about the inner workings of the pen - but my brother stopped me as that would literally break the pen. (And stop him pranking other people)
He was surprised that I didn't do the 'normal' thing and press the back of the pen.
Oh well, I didn't get shocked at least.
This sounds a lot like Ti-Se-Ni, to be honest with you. = ISTP.
I'm very new to cognitive functions so perhaps you're right.
I have been waiting for this one! Yes I paused it five minutes in just to say how excited I am. I will let you know what I think?? 🤔
I feel like I know too much, but know that there is so much I don't know, and that makes me depressed because it means the world is more screwed up than I already know it is! Spot on!
YEAH, so relatable
So since your a professional i want to see if I have the perception axis defined well.
Se: Percieves the world through concrete perception. The world is what it is, it's real. These types trust what they see as real. They like enjoying themselves in the moment and feel living in the present will help them in the future.
Si: perceives their inner world through subjective experiences they been through before. Their mind is rich with details of past experiences, it's meaning and how they felt. It's conservative and traditional. They perceive the subject and compares the subject to other experiences they had relating to the subject.
Ne: perceive the outer world through curiousity and a search for different possibilities and meanings in the present moment. It's looks behind the lines of reality and searches for the inner meaning or possibilities of the object. These types love exploring the unknown and can catch patterns fairly easily in the external world.
Ni: perceives the inner world through ideas and subjective meanings about the subject it perceives. Unlike Ne which searches in the external world for data, Ni uses the data at hand and creates ideas and meaning of the subject at hand. Very imaginative and thoughtful people.
Ne-Si views the world through possibilities and prefers to get a wider scope of things. They don't delve in problems right away and prefer to see all options before interpreting the core. They explore the possibilities and use their subjective experiences to find truth. In this axis the world of ideas and patterns is objective while the actual experience of the world is subjective.
Example: Look at all these different meanings in the world(Ne) I'll use my own wisdom and experience to define which one I'll use and stick to(Si)
Se-Ni views the outside world through concrete and real data. The world itself is real and sure. They then take the concrete information and make their own insights, ideas, theories and subjective meanings about the subject of the data. These types like to delve into problems much quicker than the other axis. Ne-si zooms out while Se-Ni zooms in. For Se-Ni the external world and experience is objective while the hidden meanings and the world of ideas is a subjective manner.
Example: Here's the data I've been presented (Se) now let's look between the lines and make my own interpretation of the meaning or underlying theme of it (Ni)
Excellent video !
Interrogatories during dating : NTJs, those Terminators haha
I seriously learn so well from you. Thank you
I really like the ideas connecting psychology and mysticism, which is why I love everything that came out of Jung.
I often wonder these days, at this point in my life, if I could sit down with a "fantasy guest" or interviewee, or possible mentor, I would choose Jung. I think we could have some great conversations :)
Jung was the closest person to ever come to understand me- so same here :)
There is so many forms of intuition their is getting an impression from an object in the external environment and how it relates to the impression intuition can be about simulating your whole life as you see it in the future and see it unfolding .Their is also your gut feeling which warns you that this person or situation might not be good for you in the long run . Intuition is like a campus but your relying on impressions since data alone can't provide you with a clear answer.
Your content is so good. Thanks for this!
I'm not visual. I am auditory. The Ni you describe is for Ni-Te users. I could care less about synthesizing the meaning of natural phenomena. I have sound-based models i use to make sense of people's intentions, the emotional atmosphere, the group dynamics at play, and greater social causes worth striving towards for all of life on earth. I totally suck at graphs.
Interesting, which ni axis are you?
I thoroughly enjoyed this video and learned a lot. I myself am type as an infj and struggle to find videos that describe intuition in more than a sound byte. This may sound off topic but I'm sure you'll understand I also enjoyed your word selection, the part of my brain that analyzes verbiage for "errors" in word selection wasn't going off as much as it does when I'm in normal conversation. Though there were a few moment where I was internally saying the words you were searching for during your pauses.
1 Corinthians 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:10 .... to another discerning of spirits; .....
1Co 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally (idios, privately) as he will.(wills into manifestation, not just desires)
This is the most In-depth informative content on introverted intuition on RUclips.
Thank you for your research
Sorry, it took me a while to weigh in on my thoughts. I loved the video. It was thought provoking also laid out in a logical manner which I prefer sometimes. The biggest questions and or feeling it left me with was, I am such a dominant introverted intuition user. So much so I wish I could shut if off and be in more of the present. Also I do get disembodiment to my body and from reality. Even though I know it's happening I can't stop it. It feels like my introverted intuition is more of a reality or more of a truer reality, but at very same time and space feels like it's not. You did however bring up some of the things I struggle with the most and of course I started connecting the pattern Within Myself. The disembodiment, the perfectionist, my judging and feeling functions which Collide on a catastrophic level. And last but not least, me trying to articulate the concepts, thoughts, or feelings I have where others can fully understand. It often feels like at times my brain is working at a higher speed then what I can use my mouth. And physically I get imagery that is hard to put into word form. It is a struggle being infj where your introverted intuition picks up everything focusing on so many things all at the same time. Then you have your judging function that is firm in its understanding of what is right and wrong, and how and what order everything must go in order to get the best outcome. Then your feeling function that does not see things so black and white that will dismiss those patterns and my judging function will fall by the wayside. I hope that this makes sense I does not feel like it does lol. I thank you for doing these videos. I am searching for the deeper meanings and understandings of not only the universe but the entire universe that lies within my mind.
My experience with Ni is that I will declare some insight, and it's followed by a desire to explain it to whoever I just pronounced this truth to. I don't immediately have an answer -- I just don't know -- but I find I'm very good at showing my work, if I'm given a few minutes, and the room to be able to concentrate. There's always a moment of faint panic at first, because I don't how to explain what I've just proclaimed. However I've always been able to clearly articulate a well-reasoned point of view, if given a bit of time. On occasion, I literally shock myself at the depth of insight I just blurt out, especially once I think about it and check my own work. (INTJ)
Could you make a video with an INTJ? It would be very interesting to see the differences in how you communicate.
^ That would be amazing! also INFJ
Addicted to the unknown and plagued by how much they don't know👌#INFJ
Good work!
Samantha Gessner wereley
I heard your comment about not getting your belief in God from an institution, but by your insights that led you to the conclusion. This has been my experience as well . If I understand you correctly on that thought
31:30 had me cracking up. The most adorable ENTJ display ever.
Hhahahaa this one fucking killed me. Yeah it was fucking adorable in this case, and can be in some people, but surely not in all :D
"For this reason, though, it would not be uncommon to see an introverted intuitive, who seems as if they have everything together, all of a sudden abandon everything and begin a brand new course in order to pursue the unknown again."
So true. When I was younger, sometimes I would get really serious about my Pokemon game. Serious to the point of pulling up tabs of online walkthroughs, trying to plan the best course so I could beat the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Champion as efficiently as possible. Whenever I found a hole in my plan I pretty much restarted the game and edited my plans. I constantly restarted the game over and over for a while.
2 unrelated things:
Door
Sky
Open enough doors in your journey through life and you'll discover new pathways. Do that, and the sky is the limit.
This came to me instantaneously after randomly picking two 'untelated' objects.
Matthew Bouton don't tell me sky is the limit when there are footprints on the moon...
Is it that introverted or extroverted intuition? I'm still confused.
"Why am I in the same pattern as the other five crackheads?" 😂 that really made me laugh. Thanks for the video and the laugh.
Thank you, made my day knowing that I got someone to laugh from something I made so many years ago.
Does anyone have a link for PDF for the book he mentioned(my true type)?
Visual nature thing is tricky for Ni, Se is suppressed after all.
Can you include the citation of the author you referenced at 42:35 (Dr. A.J. ?? Drinth?)? You said his name so fast that I couldn't make it out even when I tried to replay it multiple times. I'm interested in checking out the book.
Dr AJ Drenth
Am i the only one that wonders which view is flipped? Some videos are flipped, so i wonder which one is real. Im so weird-ENTP
This is really weird but as I was listening with my eyes closed for the whole video I for some reason had a thought that the video was at 12:16 and I looked and indeed it was.
Hold on... you're right and wrong about asking someone their favorite color or whether their favorite show is Vampire Diaries -- because you can actually gleen some pretty good insight into what makes someone tick through those questions. What I mean is, those things are indeed shallow, but an Ni user(or at least myself) would draw deeper conclusions about the person from those things. For what it's worth.
You're definitely right about gossip being irrelevant to Ni users(or at least myself). It's so pronounced, that even when I've made a conscious decision to engage in gossip for someone else's benefit, I completely forgot about it.
The thing about the way someone brushes their hair and will therefore end up a lonely old cat lady.... HA ! I've done that, not gonna lie.
The speed at which you speak, wedded with the poor sound quality of the mic can make it pretty hard to understand a follow at times. But that's ok. I'm going to download this vid with a RUclips converter and watch it at 90% speed :)
I am INTJ and am near sighted. My husband is ENTP and is far sighted. This may be a coincidence, but it would be cool to see a study done on this.
I am also near sighted. Hm. (ENTJ)
When you took the pen and said what does it brings when you look at it. Just for comparison sake I stopped what I was doing (because I was only listening to the audio) to look at the pen (before hearing what you had to say about it) and I thought about a similar pen I have bought in the past. I remembered the city I bought it in, the shop, the women that sold it to me, the situation I was in that time. My mother has been sick at the time, and I traveled there to help her out with the appointment etc. I remembered traveling often and bringing that similar pen with me in my baggage at hand, when I was traveling often. I'm an INTP. I guess my child Si acted out a bit. Interesting, I will test that thing out on some people.
25:33 - 29:33. I have to admit it I wasnt sure if I'm infj but that description about Ni users, it's really me 🙃 I thought the reason should be I'm e5 but Ni + e5, that's tough😐
I would enjoy hearing further your thoughts about Ni dom's appreciation of beauty and art. 👍
I have found it's best to camouflage my questions, "What is the first law you would make if you were our Prime Minister?", "What's your favorite time of year?" (for example).
Correct me if I'm wrong. Ni users will take a situation from the past and be able to see why it happens and the patterns of how it could happen again. Then they dive deep into different ways this situation could happen again to form plans to avoid the same mistakes? While Si users will take what happened from the past to form a plan of action of how to avoid the same problem but with out seeing the other ways the problem could manifest? Is this correct?
This video made me realize how obnoxious it is for me to make videos rambling in front of a camera for an hour and all I could think about watching this was the necessity for me to buy myself a better camera and focus on improving the quality of my videos in the new year. Not that I'm trying to come off as an asshole, its just that this video was so distracting all i could do was slip out of the present moment and reflect on some much needed epiphanies about delivering good video quality. Frankly, if all your videos were in this style, I would consider critical feedback kind of offensive, but the fact is, I came here after watching your Fe/Fi videos, and they were so comprehensive and well made that I feel somewhat obligated as a viewer to tell you that we would like to see all 8 cog function videos delivered as a uniform set. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately I no longer do Typology videos. There is plenty of good content out there that is far more suited to what you’re looking for.
What’s more interesting is many people hated my newer style and much preferred this style. So, I guess to each their own. Although I did prefer the newer style over this, much as you did.
Anyway, good luck with your videos and channel.
@@TrueGenerations that's interesting so many disliked the newer style. i get sick of mbti anyway, your newer videos look more like my thing. i will check them out.
Right. I learned that you can’t please everyone early on. When I said “newer” I didn’t mean my newest, that returned to this style, but rather the last few videos of “MBTV”
@@TrueGenerations i would watch anyway, i meant constructive feedback only
@@TrueGenerations i'm too lazy to edit videos i use live stream
This is a fantastic video, thank you.
We appreciate the feedback. Anything you may want us to cover in our content, or, anything that can help us grow our channel is always appreciated. Thank you, we want you

New is what one hasn't experienced; therefore, it is what one doesn't know.
Joshua L one can know something without experiencing it. You know you will die when you jump off of a 10 story building, yet you've never experienced it.
You can get a lot of insight by a person's favorite color, you don't think there are patterns there?
Mine is pink. What does that say about me?
I'm still fairly new to MBTI, but my Ni is off the charts.
I have ADHD, and have spent...
I can comfortably say... 70% my time alone, since I was a child.
I have always felt like an outcast. Lol...
Sooo... when it comes to me making a decision, about something or someone...
If my intuition, green lights me on some set of circumstances or event...
I honestly, could not give a F@#%... Whatever it is, that Whomever it is... has to say about my decision.
I can completely understand... how some, would probably consider this to be idiotic or pig headed, but...
When "You"... can give me, the type of results/track record, that "My" introverted intuition...
I also like to refer to as...
The ol' "Spider Sense" Lol...
Then, Maaaybe... I'll listen to You... More Often. 😅
I tripped out reading this
As an ENFP , This have been bothering me a long time.
How can I experience Ni despite being a shadow function? , It seems Ni Users have some use of Ne, while I have absolutely no way to perceive Ni impressions in objects.
It'll develop over time, Ni is difficult because you really can't force it. When I go into a deep session of rumination I get most of my insights, sometimes it just comes to me. From an INTJ
I have this i don't know if it's my dominant, auxiliary, tertiary or inferior but I know I have this
Adrian Nicollas check through sp's and nj's
Sometimes I check if the channel likes every other comment or is it just me. Am I special to the channel in any form or way 😂 I can't really tell, sometimes chamon or dad , chad or Damon likes some of my silliest comments and that makes me feel pretty special. I really hope I'm not jinxing it with this one though , take care and loads of love 😘
Lol. What? You must be from Slack.
True Generations if slack happens to be an actual place or a corporation , then no.
If it's a behavioural reference (i hope not), then yes, maybe.
If it's two words combined to make one to get back for 'dad' and 'chamon', then no I'm not a slut and I'm not whack.
Ah, it’s just funny because both of those nicknames were used on my old Slack community.
True Generations I'm sorry I have no idea about that, but that's pretty cool though
No need to apologize, you’re good.
" They know they had a lot that they don't know and it plagues them."

This is something that bugs me all through out my life living in here. Some people would say it's nothing but IT IS A PROBLEM FOR ME, BRUH.
Yes!!! :)
Introverted intuition, 1 hour of unfocused ramblings
You talk way too fast, and the audio is bad.
Fi-Te people objectify others all the time, whether they have Ni or not, lol. For Sensors, it typically results in the stereotypical guy with very beautiful, sensitive, never-shared feelings (Fi) falling for a woman/girl with no brains but a nice set of boobs and ass (Te object-based ideals). It can also, especially for intuitive types manifest as this kind of first date inquisition because Fi doesn't care about the emotional state of the other person. It wants to objectively assess whether this person is organizing their life effectively and moving towards achievement. The Ni-Fe people also ask those deep questions on first dates, by the way. But we do so with more social grace and charm, creating an emotional space and atmosphere which allows for more organic opening to take place. Fe-Ti people use these questions to assess if this is a moral person with the same vision towards life as them. Can I trust this person? Can this person help me be a better person? Can I help this person? Does this person inspire me? We don't care about "competence at life". We care about the inner lives of people and whether our own can find a home in theirs (emotional melting pot of Fe). Ni doesn't objectify people. Fi-Te people do.
I completely agree! (INFJ here.) I thought a lot of the examples were Ni-Te, totally, which makes sense, tho, since he's a dominant Te user. When I look at objects, for instance, my insight does not go in the direction of numbers and science. Usually I will notice the purpose and meaning, or maybe how or why, and all before I consciously really notice the actual object itself. However, I do still absolutely love Damon's logic and explanation skills. While I don't always directly or personally relate, I feel like I'm at least wrapping my head around it, which I'm loving.
Moonie Bo This one thing that's frustrating me as an INTP trying to understand Ni, I'm not a conscious Ni user, but I find that INTJS and ENTJS misplace the influence of their other cognitive functions as aspects of Ni.
Maybe this helps
For Ni all the other functions is simply data inputs...
With Ni-Se it's real easy to see..... Anything we do or see, we can visualize in our head
and we visualize scenarios, (Te) how shit is done :P
But ofc everything we do do have a point. (Fi) but why is that our goal?
Ni is where all the datapoint connect...
If these flashes of awareness and insight come largely when I am high on weed, would that suggest that Ni is not my dominant function?
No,no,no!
I thoroughly enjoyed Atlas Shrugged. Like, thoroughly. I tend to like stuff with a bit more of a dark side, so it's a departure from my "esthetic" preference, but I loved it anyway. (INTJ)
Totally upto you but I believe you can set a more inviting thumbnail to your videos so that it may get more views. People might miss out on this great stuff just because of the views counter, thumbnail or the duration.
Since this video was made, we definitely have set a time-limit on the length of our "instructional" videos. However, that is not the case for livestreams (yet). As for the thumbnails, this has been really a piece of work. We strive for something that looks good, yet generates clicks. I am particularly not a fan of the standard ugly, big-headed, RUclips thumbnails, yet they get clicks. So I'm going to have to toss that around a bit. Unless you have ideas. -Damon
Question about Independence of Mind: You said that Ni Types dont want to someone to "teach" someone their insights. But arn't all information we get be get to build our insights, be it from a book or a person, brought to us anyway?
Granas1988 - I believe he meant we don't want to have someone synthesize the information for us. We want to synthesize the data ourselves, fill in our own code, & generate our own insight. But we can get the data or information from anywhere.
I can highly relate to not wanting outside insights as much because I like to form my own conclusions. One of my best friends has complained multiple times that she'll listen to my advice but I never take hers. I like to consider other people's advice, but in the end it's going to be my own insight & conclusion that I follow, because I trust it most.
Kaylinn, you're such a badass.
MBTV - Takes one to know one.
iPhone:
Apple, the first trillion dollar company - innovation as a result of competition, ambition, a societal desire for the new and novel - their logo having become a status symbol and the ability of a small object held to the face to draw out conclusions about and individual. It represents both the remarkable ingenuity and simplistic motives of humanity. There is one train, there are so many more.
I feel like if you give someone with less developed Ni an iPhone and try to get them to perceive it deeply, they may still try to grasp it with sensation. Place an iPhone in front of someone and ask them what it means..... I feel like there is some good research to be done here. :)
Ni sounds like Fluid Intelligence.
So if a person has a high fluid intelligence, wouldn't that also mean that they would have a high Ni as well?
Ugh no The two are separate someone with fluid intelligence can be a se dom, no direct correlation
I love your T-shirt! Looks like AllSaints 😜
hey veru interestng i have a question tho,so you say ni doms would thrife the best if they are in a relaxed or meditative state?quetsion1)would acual meditation improve an ni dom
question2)when you say ni gets there flashes on insight that comes at random moments how does those flashes feel like is it a spontamous insight that just appears or is it a sunconsious click that suddenly becomes apparent?
Re. 2) I think the Se data that we've taken in churns away in our subconscious and Ni spits out a conclusion; this will seem to the INFJ like a Eureka moment.
Could you explain the difference between Ti and Ni? I have done many tests and I am sure the first 2 is IN but I have trouble in figuring out the remaining.I was tested as INTP,INFJ,INFP,but when I read through their descriptions I don't think anyone of them matches with my personality(I think I'm a combinations between them).I almost never use Te but I am not sure on Ni and Ti.
Hey Dai man, I'm currently working on the Ti video and it should be released in the next week. Ni&Ti could either be ISTP or INFJ (generally speaking). Ti is logic, Ni is abstract. Ti is coming to decisions, Ni is perception. And most people aren't a "pure" type. They are just closer to one type than another.
Alright, not on the ni topic, but i heard it isn't usually possible for someone to have Fi and Ti, but I feel like i have both. I have always tried to figure out how things where created with a philosophy of 'if something exists we can discover how it exists.' meaning if a human created it we can discover the origins of said humans discoverys and discover it again. But, I also understand introverted feeling and i feel that I have this as well. Maybe i have Te and Ti both developed well because i don't really disregard information that isn't from the external world and will think about it. But, I wont disregard deeper feeling as well and will continue to dwelve into this inner world to discover its happenings. So I am just confused, because its not supposed to be a thing where one has developed both Fi and Ti in this way? Maybe i have Te because i do know how to make sense of the information in a way that Te does. But, i don't feel like i leave a mess in my wake ... so confusing.
You should look into Beebe's 8 function model and Socionics with it's Model A, both explain how sometimes it looks like we use certain functions that we shouldn't be able to use if we only use 4 out of 8 functions (which, in my opinion, we don't).
I'm assuming you're an INTP (INTj in socionics)? Maybe? Just gonna use INTP as an example to help clear up confusion. As an INTP that means Fi is your role function. This means that although you understand how Fi works you usually put it aside because you value the other introverted judging function Ti over Fi. Meanwhile Te is your opposing/ignoring function, which means you understand Te even more so than you would understand Fi and would know how to use it, however you mostly ignore Te because it directly opposes Ti.
Main point, I wouldn't be too worried if it seems like you use multiple functions because basically you *do.* What matters is your preference to each function and which ones you value over others. An INTP would value Fe over Te despite it being weaker. Therefore you should ask yourself if you value the Ti/Fe pairing or the Te/Fi pairing?
I hope I was able to help.
Tulop INTP's actually secretly use Fi, like they use Fe, since it is the inferior. Whereas ENTP's are clueless to their own emotions or how to deal with them.
Great video!
Apart from all the information "send-off", which I'm here for anyway
What was her name, the Iranian INTJ? :)
Yes, you can prove to yourself that there is a God.
1) Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 1 Kings 19:12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice (inserted thought).
2) 1 John 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak (inserted thought) of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
3) Deuteronomy 13:4 Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice (inserted thought), and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
4) Job 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
Try praying one of these in the name of Jesus Christ.
Concerning spirit and soul these are theological words that are synonyms for spirit=mind, consciousness while soul=personality, character.
1) Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
2) 1Co_3:13 Every man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character) shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1Co_3:14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1Co_3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
1Pe_1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's (spirit, mind, consciousness) work (soul, personality, character), pass the time of your sojourning (temporary residence) here in fear:

“Earth’s Earliest Ages” by H. G. Pember, on page 253: “Man is a spirit in prison, and so he must be content to abide, until God unlocks the door of his Cell. But if he will have instant enjoyment by a premature excitation of potentialities which are reserved for future development, he can only do so feloniously breaking through his dungeon bars, and thus shattering the harmony of his present nature.” And on pages 255-6 “For our body appears to be not only a prison, but also a fortress, and is, not improbably, devised for the very purpose of sheltering us in some degree from the corrupting influence of demons. In its normal condition it effectually repels their more open and violent assaults: but if once we suffer the fence to be broken down, we are no longer able to restore it, and are henceforth exposed to the attacks of malignant enemies.”
Job 38:21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great? (You know because you were born then, the number of your days is great) 1 Corinthians 15:44 … There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. Ecclesiastes 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed ... (by dying) Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. (Temporal material reality is a bubble in eternal spiritual reality) Hebrews 9:27 And as it is appointed unto men (spirit, mind, consciousness) once to die (separate from God like Adam), but after this the judgment (Krisis of rejoining God): Psalms 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; …..; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Compare the above to, the medical model of “Man as a Machine” with the Leonardo da Vinci drawing of a man in a circle (Vitruvian Man) which views the human mind as the product of the body just as a song is the product of a musical instrument. Then consider the human predators known as psychopaths. Thomas Sheridan has a lot of RUclips videos on Psychopaths. These people are extremely dangerous but wear a "Mask of Sanity" even though they are morally insane “Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing” and “Without Conscience.” I did not read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago but he is said to have said that he asked the old people why all this happened and they said because we forgot about God and that after Solzhenitsyn did the research he could not do a better summary. Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot were political psychopaths. In psychiatric theory as taught in medical school, the ultimate goal of every human being is to pass along as many copies of their DNA as possible and this is evaluated based on adaptation verse maladaptation of Social Darwinism. Psychopaths are the ultimate adapter and the male psychopath has 10-12 kids I have read making them A+ mentally healthy. The fraudian psychiatric theory is based on the evolution of atheistic scientific materialism, not the theological standard of good and evil which will not fit into psychoanalysis other than as a type of neurosis or psychosis (Moses talking to an inanimate object, a burning bush). If you believe in Big Bang and Evolution, what that boils down to is that you believe that your great ancestor was a rock while your great progeny will be a self-evolving computer. In Scientific American years ago they had an article on machine intelligence which came to the conclusion that machine intelligence will out evolve us but be our offspring. Also in Scientific American Archives creationism is listed as a type of evolution of technology. This atheistic scientific materialistic evolution is supposed to be occurring on many planets (like in Star Trek) so there will be many of these self-evolving immortal life forms that primitive people used to think were gods like in Hinduism but atheistic scientific materialism is smart enough to know that they are not gods but rather immortal self-evolved life forms.” By Kent J. Nauman exMD (Axis I schizophrenia (chronic))
Kent Nauman what you just said does not prove there is a god lol. How does that fit our scientific model?
You are correct but using circular reasoning. The scientific model uses the following presumptions: 1) explain without referring to God, 2) the doctrine of uniformitarianism, 3) the experimental or empiric method, and usually unspoken 4) atheistic scientific materialism. I have heard that 92% of the American Academy of Science are atheists. Therefore both God and Noah's flood are absolutely scientifically impossible. However, please consider the following,
1) Evolution is false on an eighth-grade rational man level. The evolutionary theory fits into the exact shape of a classic snow cone just replace the ice chips with new species and positive mutations which do not exist but should be commonplace. At the point of the snow cone is the "origins of life" which after over fifty years they do not have a mechanism for a self-replicating protein. The canning industry puts all the parts into a can billions of times a year and depends on neobiogenesis not occurring. Information science shows that DNA can only degrade. Currently, we are in the sixth extinction crisis that of large animals such as the lion, cheetah, and giraffe. Extinction crises are not predicted by the evolutionary theory but rather more and more new species. Creation is an upside down snow cone which is devolving through entropy to the extinction of the biosphere just as we are seeing. God bless you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Kent J.

Damon, did you eventually do a video on NI and the appreciation of beauty?
Hope so! Because the appreciation for beauty is one of the greatest things there is, and it is so fundamental in INFJs, and I'm quite sure it plays out in it's own way for INTJs as well.
What is puzzling is that extroverted sensing is INFJ's fourth function and its least developed but INFJs seem to have an incredible sensitivity to beauty. This is what I was hoping Damon would shed some light on. I strongly agree that INFJ has this intense sensitivity to beauty as INFJs are the most poetic of writers; I also feel that they have a profound insight into how powerful beauty is and the effects it can have on humanity.
@@Neiljjm that is due to the inferior/aspirational attitude of your 4th function. It is very insecure but very willing and capable if given a welcomed challenge.
@@TheHashSlingingSlasher548 It may also be the tapping into the idealistic, symbolic and archetypal tendencies of the dominant NI. Just a thought.
@@Neiljjm oh definitely Ni plays a major role in our sensitivity to beauty, no disagreement here. I think having the Se in the 4th slot is what leads to us having very particular and strong tastes. Whether it be music, poetry, sports, dance or acting, our Se combines with Ni for an extordinary focus into our craft.
Those deep questions is what I'm infamous for when I get to know people :D beside I actually didnt find myself so much in it... even though i thouht i would be an INFJ...
That's awesome, you should share your thoughts in our mbti chatrooms called slack-chat! mbtv-chat.signup.team/ -Daniel
Oh wow, I KNOW HOW THAT GOES Granas1988 ! :)
I really appreciate this video and the way you describe everything. It's very insightful, in my opinion, and I find it more true now than the first time I watched this video. (I originally watched this video about a year ago).
