Joel and Antonia unpack the difference between dominant Introverted Thinking and Trickster Introverted Thinking. They explain how Ti can show up as a clear, good-faith search for accuracy or as a slippery way to avoid being trapped by someone else’s logic. Using real examples, they show why the same cognitive function can look very different depending on the archetypal energy behind it.

I have ENFP preferrences, and I do exactly the same thing with saying ‘good morning’ when it’s not the morning.
I think I can relate to using to the trickster to bounce away from my inferior Si as well. I work in a shop, and find the constantly repeated lines – “Do you have a loyalty card? Do you need a bag?” – extremely draining. Sometimes I’ll say it in a bizarre new way, close enough to what’s expected that I can’t get in trouble, but weird enough that it gives relief from the repetition and existing within established boundaries.
