EXTRAVERTED INTUITION EXPLAINED: 8 POSITIONS

[@INFJinxed]

How do you experience Ne?

[@hanspeter2534]

With Ti hero and interests that are often related to intuitive types like philosophy and science, I thought I was an INTP for a while, but Ne is the reason why I'm most likely an ISTP (and the fact that I'm "too good" at Se stuff)...The omnipresent curiosity and creativity of Ne is something I definitely admire, but cannot really find in myself. From my perspective it is a very "precious" gift to be able to create or "synthesize" something totally new inside your head, whereas my Ti-Ni combination most of the time only analyzes what is presented to me.

I find that I'm always surprised how childlike I come off when I watch a video of myself. I know that if I could lead with any function, it would not be Ne. I'd probably prefer Se. In my head, I think that I'm coming across more like a stereotypical Se dom. When it comes to this question, I would be willing to write a 10 page response, as long as I could keep writing whatever popped into my head. I don't even really need anyone to read it? I mean, I like the idea that someone is reading it, but it kind of comes naturally just to write a ton on a topic like this. I already wrote and erased two paragraphs because they seemed too off topic, and I don't want to waste your time. I don't know exactly what I'm experiencing from my own viewpoint sometimes, but I know what I'm told by others. The most frequent observations have been: "You're pretty smart aren't you?", "You're easygoing", "You're goofy". I've also been told "You say a lot, you don't make it obvious, but you actually do want someone to listen to you, don't you?", "You're funny". I still remember in Third Grade talking back to a teacher. She said that some group of kids (who I just happened to be standing near and mistaken for being a permanent part of) always hung out in the same spot. I said "Not on Saturdays and Sundays". She said, "all right smart Alec, you're standing on the wall for recess". Yeah, I saw a possibility which she ignored, it didn't do anybody any good that I mentioned it though lol. Probably one of the only things I'm not easygoing about, is labeling things in a way that I don't agree with, especially with loaded language. For instance, I don't like the idea of writing people off by assigning them a label like "bigoted". If bigotry is the discussion, then I'll focus on just trying to make less bigoted things happen, trying to soften the blow, not demonizing the individual. Also, I'm an ENTP so my experience is probably a bit different from ENFPs in general. I had two close people to me when I was growing up, my dad and my cousin, who were INTPs. It seems like it doesn't matter how hard I try, the more distant I can keep those relationships, the less headaches are involved. I think we both put more into what the other is saying than the other actually believes. My dad will think that I identify as being with a certain party because I argued vehemently for its merits. I will think that they don't give a rat's ass about me because they don't show it any way except for making me seem dumb. I think that it is both a good and a bad thing that I learned from such an early age that there were people I could never be quite as smart as in the same way. Also, a fire just burned down the mountains near my house. I've hiked the trails up there for years. I didn't feel hardly any sadness about them burning up. I actually think that the mountains look kind of pretty in a way in the spots where they have burned. It's such a cool light color, it kind of looks like snow to me. Despite all the heat and the fires, I can tell myself that the mountains are colder looking now than they were before they burned. It's like a new background to keep things interesting. Climate is kind of a background too. I want to move to a cool, rainy, climate because I want to have conversations in a cool, rainy environment.

Well I am an ENTP, the question I have is how I stop from experiencing Ne.... help!

[@gouthambolt]

Curiosity!

[@Jason-ut8iu]

As an INTP, I'd say that I experience Ne involuntarily. It's not that I don't want to experience it, it's simply that I can't turn it on or off. It comes to me, I don't go to it. If it were described as an impulse, it's the desire to drink the entire universe, it's a desire to see just beyond the visible and move just past the known. It's an insatiable hunger and an unquenchable thirst driven by unrelenting curiosity. If you are asking, "what does it feel like...", it feels like seeing the sky at night filled with stars. Rarely does one focus on an individual point of light in the night sky, you see the patterns and textures that form within the night sky. You may chose to zoom in or out, but the sky itself is immense, complex, and structured. The stars represent every memory, every connection, every experience, and every thought that you can actively pull forth into your conscious mind. Ne is the reason why I'm never certain what is obvious to others and what seems random or dubiously connected. Ne can feel like stars in the night sky, but it can also burst forth with immediate intensity like a fireworks display. Those insights and connections flash within your head with jarring, surprising, unsolicited intensity. Ne is not a single thought, it ten things fused into five thoughts or ten thoughts branching out into seven different, but related directions. It's not random, but it can sometimes feel like you are strapped to the front of a chaos train hurdling down a mountain, unable to see what's around the corner.

As an INTP I just need to tell you. Your videos are blowing my mind. You explain this in such an organized way. You made so many things click on my brain. Thank you very much!

[@andyroobrick-a-brack9355]

INxP, here. As an Ne aux, I don't necessarily experience the need to expand as much as I seek to deconstruct. My ideas feel more inspired from direct past experiences or meaningful ideas that I've seen. I throve in connecting and referencing these experiences as I draw connections between them to create new, lriginal properties. I revise and reimagine ideas constantly when I see a brand new externalized idea, in which I will abandon that one later. From those deconstructions, I reconnect them into reformed principles based on what possibly ISN'T true. I find it harder to engage in possibilities and brainstorming for the sake of it, and only do it if it suits my princies indirectly what I'm interested or invested in, but when it happens, it can get more ideational than ENxPs. Harry from CPT refers to it as the "authority" function, which accurately sums up my experience woth Ne.

[@mbtisocialclub]

Amazing breakdown! The last part I have been thinking for a while.

[@mbtisocialclub]

Ne is fun but I keep wondering if it Is just me or do other Ni doms get a lil frustrated with extraverted intuition for talking too much and using too much filler? Idk how to explain it. Ne and Si seem invasive sometimes, Ne can really hurt and make me doubt myself when ppl use it on me , and Si just gives me anxiety to have to talk about my day, or my past or what I'm doing and this is tough when communicating with my ISFJ mom. She wants details and I want abstract.

[@beingsomeone201]

Entps ne(multiple possibilities) funnel down by ti (takes time but we dont have infinite possibilities rather just some fresh ideas) N sorry to say that many celebrities named as infj s are actully enfp and there are so many enfp harmonious speakers celebrities too Esfj s ne is cool too

[@davidpapojr8531]

as an intp if i step outside ti si comfy spot using ne fe, of ti ne are both fun but ones out of a must the other has top be around ppl i trust for si safty.

[@exnihilonihilfit6316]

Do you have brain damage or something? 😡

[@kinderlich]

U just say a song lyric ‘...the things they do...look awful ccccooold...’ and they run with it 😇.

[@INFJinxed]

kinderlich OMG YES!

[@kinderlich]

INFJinxed enfp in America story right now is they just got off crewing for a sail boat owned by Wall Street istjs...and they are arriving in a Range Rover at a ski chalet (both) owned by another enfp they met at a party who owns a weed store. My attitude is ‘...so ...all of this was paid for by the weed store?’ 😅

[@INFJinxed]

@kinderlich I'm dying haha

[@xavier12352]

@INFJinxed i like your accent

[@INFJinxed]

Haha Thank you !

[@xavier12352]

You should do a q and a video some time so people can know you a little bit better

[@Ali-MJ]

Thank you so much! I have a question: As an INFP, should I communicate with my Ne function, just with other Ne dominant functions or parent functions? Or it can be useful with lower functions? And how about using Ne with Ni types?! Like INFJ and INTJ?!

[@INFJinxed]

Your Ne will come out naturally in all your interactions:)
