That was awesome, guys! Thank you! I listened to this because I was unsure if I am an N or an S. When I took it years ago I came out an N, but close to the center, same with I and E. Knowing that I recharge internally and get drained externally made me confident on that one. T and J were so strong it was embarrassing. I’ve been working on that… LOL. Recently I took the test again and came out an S which I questioned. After hearing you discuss IS and SJ, I now know for sure I’m an S and proud of it. I love the S in me because its so sensually rich… no pun intended.
I’m 73 and I catch myself saying the same things I heard my grandparents say when I was young and I’m probably about the same age now as they were then. What I have recently realized is that humans eventually outgrow their world. I grew up in a world which was a certain way and now I’m starting to find myself in a different world and to be honest, I’m not crazy about it. It doesn’t feel like home anymore. I know that technology is definitely a part of that equation. A computer took up a whole room in my freshman year of college. Now, I’m carrying one around in my purse, and agencies and business expect me to be able to navigate this. What I am learning about myself is that it’s sensing that is going to ground and save me. I’m moving my body more and more deeply communing with nature and I have to admit that I absolutely love the camera on my phone. Thanks for keeping it real and giving me a useful map. I find you both very intellectually stimulating.
Just going to write this as a introvert dominant is it our introverted dominant the part of us we try to avoid put it this way i try to make sure i do not have any new emotional experiences as an FI dominant but i love talking about it and enjoy working other people out. So are all our Introverted functions working exactly the same as the way we describe SI Introverted sensing. We do not like to experience the thing that we are good at its our extroverted function that makes it enjoyable. This kind of explains why my introverted intuitive friends do not show enthusiasm into lets say intuitive conversations because they have to listen and then rationalize what is being said. So as an FI dominant talking in groups is emotionally draining it can make me seem stupid when i lose control of it so i think.
I think sensors just move with the times i mean in generation blocks so basically the sensor world just changes in time. SI will always be the grumpy in my day. SE will always be the young hip one externally. Sensations will just be perceived in a different way. Intuition is just trying to understand the sensory world not just living in it is it not that simple. My wife who is an ISFJ says stuff like can you not smell that and i am like no and then i do and it blows me away. I could never smell before i got married now i taste stuff remember what something smelt like its madness.
Good afternoon,
We are indeed trapped in ‘boxes’ of sorts, but no, myers-briggs/jungian functions are not in themselves equipped to define what that box is, probably not even half the box, as we are all in an individual box, of which something like JCF is only one of the ingredients that might help define what that is. The enneagram, for example will have something very different to say about how to group people into boxes, and then we have all our life experiences thrown into the mix as well.
Typology does not, for example, tell you what your ‘complexes’ are (another Jungian concept that he was probably much more interested in than ‘types’), and complexes are not really ‘typeable’, though there might be some trends.
We also have to contend with the issue of inherent subjectivity in personality typology, in that the types are not ‘real’ anyway, they are an attempt to draw lines and definitions around what is probably real ‘stuff’, but which in its actuality has blurry edges everywhere. Thus the different theorists will draw the lines and construct the maps in somewhat different ways, offering a somewhat different story / interpretation of reality, and in doing so probably producing somewhat different results. That does not mean that only one theorist is ‘correct’, as they’re all just different ways of looking at the same (or same-ish) thing, none of which alone tell the full story.
So I’d say the boxes are not merely abstractions, but are more so interpretations or ‘stories’, and we don’t actually operate within a story, except inside our own heads. The question is, is this a story that lends iself to getting ‘useful’ results. If yes, then maybe the boxes are useful stories because then they actually say something sufficiently reflective of reality. But even then that does not exclude that person from being inside other ‘story’ boxes as well, e.g. reflective of other systems, individual complexes etc.
Thought that just came to me, maybe a topic for a future podcast.
What does it look like when, say, a Sensing type talks past an Intuitive, they try to relate on a particular point but they’re just talking past one another. Maybe explore that a bit. Si vs. Ne, Se vs. Ni and some scenarios where that occurs. I also wonder what it looks like when Si vs. Se language conflicts (is that even a thing?), and I’ve seen Ne vs. Ni with online chat dialogue. I bet putting nuance to this topic could help heal SO many communication breakdowns.
