Today, we shall discuss our differences. Some people are
uncertain whether they are your type or mine. True. We both use introverted thinking as our
dominant function, and extroverted feeling as our inferior function. So, on appearance we can both
come across as stoic, aloof, or standoffish. Agreed. Being Ti doms, we both engage
in theoretical and critical thinking, rationalization, and calculative speculation.
We are both analytical truth seekers who can philosophically question the information that we
encounter. We are independent thinking individuals who operate on the basis of logic and reason.
This can cause us to be stubborn, as we need to do things our own way.
Right. Because we have inferior extroverted feeling
we tend not to prioritize group values, or the feelings of others when making our decisions.....
But, we can factor social consequences into the equation if our Ti deems it necessary.
Good point. Ti doms can have a psychological interest in other people.
But, really it depends on the individual. Functions one and four give us our similarities.
But, our second and third functions are different and this is how people can tell us apart.
True we use the same judging functions, but different perceiving functions.
A person would really need to recognize this to identify which type we are.
I agree, your second cognitive function is extraverted intuition, whilst mine is extraverted
sensing. Because you use Ne, you are more focused on exploring abstract theories and possibilities
and you're happy to explore multiple conceptual ideas, just for the sake of it.
On the other hand, using Se means I'm much more focused on theories that relate to the real world,
with practical application. I use introverted sensing as my third function and this gives
me the propensity to store a lot of factual data and recite information
that I have formulated or learned in the past. This way, I can encode a myriad of different
theories that I have connected together and critically evaluated using my Ti and Ne. Over
time, my psyche is evolving into a treasure trove of conceptual interrelated knowledge.
I would say that my ability to solve abstract theoretical problems probably exceeds yours.
Probably. I use introverted intuition as my third function, my Ni gives me highly focused insight.
By using Ti and Ni together I have the propensity to delve deeper into a specific theory than you.
Especially, as I don't have any distraction from my Ne,
as you know your Ne tends to send you off on divergent tangents.
Doesn't socionics say that Ne is your blind spot? Absolutely.
Using my Ti and Ni together enables me to create in-depth theories by using the input
from my extroverted sensing I can come up with real-world predictions regarding the future,
and directly test my theories against actualities occurring in the real worl.
Socionics says that extroverted sensing is your blind spot
So dealing with events in the physical world is a weakness of yours.
Just like how you're not good at generating multiple abstract possibilities.
My Se can be a great strength of mine. I'm better at successfully navigating my way through problems
in the physical world, and dealing with hands-on tasks. Lacking Ne makes me calm.
I evaluate and assess specific situations. This enables me to
calculate workable solutions to counter problems that are emerging in the moment,
with greater speed than you, and I can action my ideas much more easily.
That Ne of yours can really take you around the houses, before you reach a solution.
It helps me conduct a broader analysis. Whereas, I prefer to get straight to the point.
I think you'll agree that when we converse with other people,
you tend to talk more on the topic than I do. Generally speaking I would say that you tend to
simplify complexity through thought. Whilst, I tend to build upon complexity.
Well, I think that we've given the viewers something to work with. There is more that
we could say. But, I agree that we should end it here. Our differences should now be clearer.
