In this episode, Joel and Antonia talk about why the world needs Introverted Sensing (nicknamed “Memory”).
In this podcast you’ll find:
- Joel’s concern about the sound quality of the podcasts may be his Introverted Sensing (Si) wanting to make sure things are captured well for posterity
- Joel’s grandfather collected important pieces of his and his family’s past and preserved them beautifully.
- Once he died though, all the treasures were divided up and sold.
- We can’t guarantee that future generations will value the things we value.
- Antonia worries that she doesn’t have the required documentation to prove she is an expert in the field she teaches. This may also be how her Si shows up
- Joel likes tracking information so he can see the timeline of his growth and development.
- Si sees paperwork as binding and authoritative
- Systems breaking down can be upsetting to Si.
- It’s interesting to come face to face with your inferior function and recognize all the ways we are influenced by it and repelled by it.
- Si inferior can come up as an encouragement to pause and consider safety.
- Is it okay to do this?
- “If you’re disciplined and diligent, it should be okay.”
- “Be responsible.”
- Those thoughts are more familiar with Si higher in the stack.
- Si brings beautiful things.
- The world desperately needs good quality Introverted Sensing.
- Pacing is essential for Si users.
- Si is an amazing steward of the past.
- We have an unhealthy addiction to novelty today.
- Young people are untethered from history.
- “Every recall is a reframe.”
- There is no such thing as an unbiased account of history, but that doesn’t mean we throw the baby out with the bathwater.
- Burning of Alexandria – how much further along would we be if that library hadn’t been burned?
- It is hard to understate the importance of time binding and passing info on to future generations.
- We think we don’t need to bind info anymore because the internet stores it for us.
- But there is a difference between passing info and accessing info.
- Passing info brings reverence with it.
- Most of what we have given to us we don’t know what to do with because we don’t have the proper context.
- Si is how we don’t repeat our past failures.
- If we didn’t have memories, we wouldn’t be human.
- Some people think that If we buy into the history, we have to buy into the narrative.
- “Those who forget the past are destined to repeat it.”
- It feels like Si is under attack in our world now.
- It’s not going to go well for us if we choose to ignore the lessons we have learned, like vaccination.
- Rites of passage are necessary to teach future generations the lessons learned by previous generations.
- Si is trying to acclimate to a culture that is requiring more extraverted intuition than ever before.

Could you do a podcast on Ni vs Si? Or a series of all 8 functions?
Just YES YES YES to this podcast! Feeling the Si love!! As an ISTJ I’m so perplexed by all the constant “novelty seeking” by seemingly everyone around me… and of course I feel I’m viewef/perceived as very stodgy. It’s disheartening sometimes, but having learned about all the cognitive functions I truly get it. Plus, I have an INFP adult daughter…,I love seeing the world through her kaleidoscope eyes!!! My introverted sensing ways are as colorful to me… but definitely a different flavor..
I linked here from email, where I thought I read that profiling retreat includes snuggling? Unfortunately my inner copy editor’s eagle eyes weren’t falling for any such wishful thinking. Still, I am loving the cozy mental image.
Tried to reply to Danielle, above, the “anti-establishment” political science student. Girl! Has history taught us nothing?! You better run! Lol for the perfect (introverted) role model look no further than 2020 Presidential candidate Andrew Yang! (Pardon my shameless plug. :)
Actually, maybe it is outside the scope of your work, but I would be fascinated by a profile opinion from Antonio and Joel about him or about politics, as they relate to personality typing, in general! But, again I realize that can be a touchy area; just a thought.
#Yang2020 woo-hoo!
Sound is good. If the echo is still bugging you, look to the corners/angles in the room. Where the walls meet, where the ceiling meets the walls, etc.
From the pics you sent out via email, there’s at least one top corner at the ceiling that is completely uncovered. Do something like this (links below) with the acoustic tiles you have to make flat areas in the top corners where the ceiling meets the walls.

This episode said something really valuable about where we are and where we are going as a society. I’m also an ENFP, and most of my time is spent ignoring routine and never remembering anything. But having done some work editing a magazine, doing some social media work and volunteering in a youth organization I see a lot of young people struggling with finding their place. And the last comment you guys had about Si adapting to a world where it isn’t valued made my Ne ping: Most people use Si as some form of strength(?). If they are growing up and having to adapt to a tradition-less society with no one “true” history/narrative of the world as we know it, no wonder we are seeing a counter-culture movement and new anti-feminism and more conservative religious backlash (I’m religious, so nothing against religion as such). Do you think Si is manifesting in unhealthy ways because it has been repressed since the (ca)1960’s? Right now I am mainly picturing the 19-22 year old men I know, but I think it could apply to many more people.
