I can’t explain how much I love this
My ISFJ mom is taking a carpentry course just because she wanted to learn something new and creative. The class had to make a small table as their first task, and my mom showed her idea to the teacher. When the teacher said "that is too advanced to make" my mom went straight home and made her dream table to prove him wrong. I've never loved her more💕!!
I think I swapped MBTI types with my friend for 5 seconds.
Me, the INTP: I love you dude. Really.
My friend, that INFJ: ... thanks
The Sentinels: ESFJ, ESTJ, ISFJ, ISTJ
I have a question for INTJ. So, hey nerd. Could you try to write something that explains Ti vs Te? Really interested in how Ti works and I enjoy deeply your explanations. Thanks.
Look who’s there, the other admin of this blog, you lame. For the people who were interested, that is INFJ’s blog.I’ll be doing a Ti - Te comparison but then I’ll focus on Ti as INFJ’s tertiary function, analysing what a strong tertiary Ti looks like.
Te vs. Ti
The main and most evidence difference between these two cognitive functions is that extroverted thinking (Te) is focused on the external world, while introverted thinking (Ti) happens mostly inside the individual’s mind.
Te => primarily used outward.Ti=> primarily used inward.
This originates a series of consequences:
Te: deductive logic: 1. observation (external); 2. theory + conclusions (internal).
Ti: inductive logic: 1. develops a theory (internal); 2. observes to falsify or confirm it (internal).
Te prefers to deal with logic with a problem at hand. Applied logic. Best at logically organising.
Ti enjoys logic for its own sake. Best at (sometimes impractical) problem-solving.
Te: focuses more on the outcomes and its consequences.
Ti: focuses more on the ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ behind the enigma, without necessarily reaching for a certain path.
Te: sees tasks in a logical and sequential order. Seeks effectiveness.
Ti: ability to find commonalities in apparently unrelated elements. Seeks efficiency and can get frustrated if they believe that something is not working well. => Ti users can sometimes be seen as lazy for seeking the way that requires the less amount of work. This is probably is utterly unfair The truth is that it just doesn’t make sense for them to use unnecessary energy.
Tertiary Ti
IxFJ types have Ti as their tertiary function. There are significant variations between those who have a strong Ti and a weaker Ti. The dominant Si (ISFJ) and Ni (INFJ) also plays an important role. Today I will focus on the INFJ type.
Strong tertiary Ti in INFJs
Like all Fe users, INFJs can sometimes be stereotyped as too emotionally driven and rather illogical. Nothing is further from the truth in strong tertiary Ti users under normal conditions. Fe and Ti are assistant functions to Ni in the way the INFJ processes the information and reaches their conclusions. More mature types will find a very beneficial balance between Fe and Ti, both functions supporting each other. An INFJ with a strong Ti will have a deep desire for truth. They will not be satisfied with simple instructions and one of their biggest disappointments will be to hear “you do it because I say so” or “it just works like that”; Ti will want to figure the whole system and when the INFJ achieves it, everything will make sense in their mind, which will produce them a big feeling of satisfaction.
isfj: What's the deal with Trader Joe's?!
isfj: You're not really TRADING?!
isfj: And who is JOE?!
infj: Are you finished, Jerry Seinfeld?
Mad Libs
INFJ: Okay, INTP. I need an adjective.
INTP: Okay...
*Akward silence for 30 seconds*
INTP: It always takes me so long to come up words. Every time I get asked to come up with something, my brain goes splat.
*Silence for another 30 seconds*
INTP: Distasteful.
INFJ: *nod of approval and writes it in*
ISFJ: Of course you complain about no finding a word and then come up with distasteful.
INTP: I use my adjectives wisely.
