Please continue that series on the functions when healthy/unhealthy. I can't wait for Se & Ni :)
I was hoping someone would ask for them individually for separate posts… but ah well.
Healthy Se-dom: active pursuit of situations and activities that stimulate you to avoid boredom, pursuit of pleasure by directly joining, participating, interacting and diving in without hesitation. Good at seeing opportunities to act and motivating others to do the same. Down to earth, open to change, free-spirited, and flexible, comfortable in changing your direction with new opportunities.
Unhealthy Se-dom: abandoning people and jobs as soon as you lose interest, making reckless decisions based in how you feel or your wants in the present, contempt for others who are not as motivated or full of action as yourself, put self-gratification above all else, leaving a wake of destruction behind you (ruined relationships, burned bridges, bad grades and/or job experiences without future references).
Healthy Se-aux: looks for ways to take action based on your judgments, good at noticing and taking on possibilities in the immediate present, strong motivation to change and move forward, awareness of the value in the present situation, pursuit of activities that strengthen your awareness and keep you ‘busy’; quick to act decisively once you have made up your mind, down to earth, open to change, and comfortable going in new directions when you hit a challenge.
Unhealthy Se-aux: lazy and compliant (because it’s all about ‘now’), unable and unwilling to work hard for anything because it’s not entertaining or ‘fun’; reckless pursuit of stimulating experiences, over-indulgence in sensory needs/pleasures, vain about appearance, lacks consideration for future consequences, prone to abandoning projects, jobs, or relationships out of boredom.
Healthy Se-tert: takes Ni-visions and brings them into being through solid and confident action, enjoys new situations and experiences that allow them to think and act in the moment, pursues experiences and pays attention to sensory ‘tells’ in others which helps Ni form conclusive perceptions about others, has a good balance between ‘intuition’ and ‘action.’
Unhealthy Se-tert: impulsive, reckless, and rash, over-pursuing of sensory pleasures and experiences (food, sex, drinking, over-eating, over-spending), often leaps into things before they look then finds themselves overwhelmed, seeks only evidence to support rather than supplement Ni-perceptions; may bully or intimidate others physically to get what they want.
Healthy Se-inferior: gathers external evidence to support Ni-dom perceptions about others, takes an active interest in participation rather than just intellectual observation, willing and desirous of leaping on opportunities to act when the opportunity arises, willing to take chances and be ‘present.’
Unhealthy Se-inferior: never used except to excess, when the person over-drinks, over-spends, sleeps with someone they never would otherwise, or does foolish things (which could wind up getting them hurt); ignores external evidence that does not support Ni-perceptions, poor at knowing when to act, low-drive to become active in the world or take chances (which means they pass them by).
Healthy Ni-dom: careful absorption of all potential possibilities and narrowing down to the most likely outcome, with a willingness to change their mind later if missing pieces fall into place; strong focus on the future impact of present behaviors and decisions and where they want their life to lead; trusts in their own intuition and insight into situations but not quick to leap to conclusions. You feel most comfortable when you have a sense of purpose or longer-term directions, and make decisions based on connecting deeper meanings and over-arching ideas. Reliance on sudden insight and visualizing a desired outcome.
Unhealthy Ni-dom: leaps to intuitive conclusions and stubbornly clings to them without sufficient data / information / knowledge to have a trustworthy insight (over-reliance on ‘filling in the blanks); stubborn and often refuses to change their mind, pre-judges people and situations harshly, superior attitude of insight and tendency to look down on others for their limited foresight; overly vague, clings to unrealistic or unachievable perfectionist ideals.
Healthy Ni-aux: takes time for inner reflection and to visualize what one wants from life and/or what would benefit society in future rather than generalizing; seeks depth and meaning in their life and encounters; trusts one’s hunches about people and instincts about future trends; works steadily toward bringing about a ‘greater’ vision.
Unhealthy Ni-aux:impatient to deepen understanding, hasty and premature in leaping to conclusions, overconfident in taking on too much (in pursuit of one’s vision), tendency to believe in ‘one truth’ (and expect others to agree with it), sense of being different / superior to others due to foresight, cannot deeply consider things, change their mind, and prone to rationalizing bad behavior, can be pessimistic about the future and/or focuses on criticism over vision.
Healthy Ni-tert: good at finding higher purpose and meaning in life, valuing self-discipline, focus, reflective, insightful, and futuristic-minded. Able to put their mind to a future desired outcome and work toward it, rather than abandoning it when it becomes boring / hard / no longer fun (Se dominance).
Unhealthy Ni-tert: distrustful of outside ideas, negative outlook on the future (or fearful), paranoid, pessimistic, trusts only ‘negative’ hunches about others, over-simplification of complex issues, believes they have deeper insight than they have, fixated on a single future outcome that is not well-defined or ‘true.’
Healthy Ni-inferior: optimistic belief in positive outcomes for the future, interest in deeper things and feeling a need to make your life have deeper meaning, purpose, and impact beyond the present (and beyond yourself); desire to work toward an eventual life you want for yourself / vision of what you want.
Unhealthy Ni-inferior: never thinks about the future or the consequences of their actions, comes to rash, impulsive perceptions rather than taking time and carefully forming intuitive suspicions (leaping to conclusions, then stubbornly holding to them); becomes negative and fixated on bad outcomes and/or has a sense of doom about the future (grip); can be narrow-minded.
