Introverted Intuition Vs. Introverted Sensing

[@FrankJames]

good video, man!

[@DanielDavidAllenChannel]

Hey thanks! :)

[@SabrinaXe]

The only accurate video I've seen on Ni. The other videos just make Ni seem a mystical function which only pertains to INTJ or INFJ. We all perform Ni, it's just Ni doms tend to do it more. I related to the part where the sensory details disappear, and only a subjective impression of the sensory remains

[@SabrinaXe]

The Ni trail of thoughts and insights was also on point, I always tend to complete the picture with the insights I have, if the insights are too limited then the longer I wait to complete the picture

[@DanielDavidAllenChannel]

@@SabrinaXe The 4th point on my 'Differences' slide does mention that Ni sees timeless conclusions- but I realize I sounded a bit contradictory in the following part. Perhaps the best way I would describe it is that Ni looks at past present and future holistically. It wants to know what the trends and patterns are and where everything is headed.

[@andyroobrick-a-brack9355]

@@SabrinaXe Si is more timeless than Ni. Think of NeSi or SiNe as a librarian vs the kid throwing books all over the place excitedly, and SeNi and NiSe as the mildly hedonistic stoner living an exciting life non-judgementally vs the preacher who interprets their actions as satanic. The Bible, a very Ni oriented work, uses Se unfiltered happenings and "objects" to fuel their symbolic intuitions. They're very tinely and hard to understand for that reason. Jung, an SeNi user, did the same, referencing actual happenings seperate from the intuitive realm to fuel his own interpretations and ideas. NeSi, on the other hand, is highly timeless. Ne looks at concrete objects and sensatolions amd extrapolates literal ideas in the same way Se examines literal objects. Ne will think about a latex baloon and may relate it to the state of economic affairs in Saudi Arabia, or to give a more layman's example, combine two disparate objects to formulate a new, novel idea. These ideas and experiences are solidified into a concrete impression of how objects "should be," which is Si. Because Si often ignores the wild, crazy lifestyles Se users find security in, they ignore timely events in favor of a tried and true universal standard for them to follow. You see this in ESFJs especially, they are very communistic in the sense that they view society and their culture as an amorphus, objectively observed idea or construct to follow, which is judged by FeTi and solidified as the "true nature" of things by Si. Ironically, xSxJs are often staunch traditionalists because they are so timeless. This is also why Ne valuing types are knowledge velcro, they gather as many perpsectives seperate from the ego and attempt to formulate it into a stable foundation for more perspectives. Its also why Ne doms initially appear seperate from the world despite directly interacting with it, its because of their more porportionate ampunt of timelessness and devaluation of sensory happenings. INxPs and, as mentioned, ESxJs are masterful examples of this, with INxPs having a more stable, yet still highly vague relationship with Si, and when they enter a sort of loop as many have described before, they becone unimaginative and reliant on what works in the past and present moment.

So in other words an Si user gets a spreadsheet with details and stores it for later use and an Ni user creates a word document explaining the spreadsheet and then deletes the spreadsheet. 😅

[@DanielDavidAllenChannel]

Pretty funny way of looking at it. I dig it! 😂

[@trocycling1204]

Good analogy! But, some Ni dominants see better with numbers (like myself). I'll see patterns and insights in numbers without taking them literally. It's easier to think through than words, kind of weird.

[@DanielDavidAllenChannel]

@@trocycling1204 so it's like your word docs are full of numbers. Interesting!

Excellent video, best presentation on both functions that I've seen

Finally found a video with actual examples. Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing this amazing content! I love the real examples which is so hard to find

[@skrinder3968]

Your voice is really calming, nice video btw :)

[@Coneman3]

Graphical aspect is useful in explaining this. Well done, good job!

[@supersaiyan7046]

Introverted sensing can be a super power as you said however it can also be a crippling curse. People who are si dominant are extremely prone to suffer from severe PTSD if they go through traumatic experiences. I'm an intj and have an istj friend who constantly struggles with PTSD because of the haunting narrative they can't escape from in their mind.

[@supersaiyan7046]

@@ioppisheliolisk Yea my istj friend also operates according to those kinds of associations about more minor things as well. It's like once an association is made it's very hard for you guys to reprogram your perception about something. This is true even with new experiences that are contrary to your preconceived notions.

[@the-doubting-thomas62]

Anyone who experiences trauma will suffer from PTSD. It has nothing to do with your type.

[@stu6097]

@@the-doubting-thomas62 The way different types suffer PTSD though might be different. If during a war the ISTJ might remember the details of his buddies guts hanging out like which organs were mutiliated while an INTJ might just remember the impression of the piles of dead bodies laying around without remembering a specific persons types of guts and organs hanging out.

[@user-jq2wg6vk4p]

I do both, but I’m not sure what I do more.

[@orangeziggy348]

I feel like I needed more concrete ideas, like a whole entire video of examples, possibly visual examples, and stories.

​@@anthony3082yep haha. Or if they're clever they wrote in the word document-"I created a log of what happened in a journal somewhere"

[@Intuitioncalling]

This is remarkable. Coming from an INTJ, you should know i would have to mean it to say it. I don’t praise things willy-nilly.

[@shaunbeswarick7952]

Gosh! Fantastic, especially seeing as I am an INFJ married to an ISFJ 😊

[@allygarr8928]

I was like “oh I can relate to si, am I an si user and not an ni user?” And then you started explaining ni and I thought the same thing again lmao

[@DanielDavidAllenChannel]

Congrats- I diagnose you as...human

Quality content

[@peerlessindifference]

Quite good!

[@dirtywhitellama]

Background music is super distracting, but otherwise interesting and enjoyable video.

[@rocketassistedgoat1079]

The music was fuc**ng AWFUL. It was so bad, I almost stopped listening. Thankfully, it did improve slightly. If I have to sit through music that dire again, that'll be my last video. A true INTJ should be very sensitive to aesthetic beauty (it's no coincidence that David Bowie and Roger Waters from Pink Floyd are INTJ): because Ni is essentially taste-it's what sorts the wheat from the chaff. Bad or forgettable music: is like someone dropping metal pans in front of me, it makes me irrationally angry.

Really good video explains the differences between me a male INFJ and my wife a ESFJ. Will be showing her, what is your personality type?

[@DanielDavidAllenChannel]

Infj- and thanks! Glad you liked it :)

[@writerducky2589]

Oof, the other day some friends were talking about some subject and at the end I injected my one piece of information about it. Everyone then looked at me, the air tense like everyone was expecting me to elaborate, like there was supposed to be some deeper meaning behind what I said, and I'm like, "Um...no, that... that one line was really all I had." Haha, it felt really weird, like an Si misfire or something.

[@mandarin9967]

Thank you. I read Carl Jung's work but his description seemed a bit too obscure for me. Your explanation doesn't contradict and makes sense

[@mariannakowalska4789]

I love the content. Nice presentation of functions, very comprehensible. Tho I think it is worth to mention that your video would be even better if you spoke faster. ;)

[@k41tlynn66]

I feel like your Ni description calls me out lol

[@hollyhayward9792]

Is there a copy of this visual anywhere?

[@di3486]

That “I wonder how frost form” is how INTPs operate. I (INFJ) don’t ask myself things like that, my idea or thought would be completely unrelated like thinking on possibilities of what would happen in consequence of a cold winter. A complete story starts developing and I can spend a lot of time there.

[@di3486]

Kati Anerson yes! INTJs also operate in that level of rationality and I am envious 😩😂

[@DanielDavidAllenChannel]

I think it depends on the frame of reference you're using to build your narrative. You might decide to simulate a narrative based on a cold winter where I may be working from a frame of reference where all things in the universe tell us about some universal narrative- figuring out something like how frost forms may clue me in to some universal insight about what the universe actually is. >*hits blunt*< Feel me?

@@DanielDavidAllenChannel well put. Now pass it, please

[@sweetlifewellness]

Great video! I like the concept of your website, it seems to be down. Is there a new address?

[@PowerRedBullTypology]

Whereas I really enjoyed the video and thought the way it is constructed with the visuals is a really good way to explain the functions, I also found the examples you give of Ni to be seem more like examples of Ne. The thing is that Ni users tend to have at least somewhat of a personal focus on subjects whereas Ne users make random observations about any subject they get in contact with that they do not have to have any interest in or focus on. So unless the Ni user has more of an interest or focus than a regular person in bananas or colors, they do not tend to focus on such random things like the changing colors of a banana. Also, the color change of a banana is more of just an (external )observation rather than a real deeper meaning. Ni might more wonder what the meaning is of the changing color of the banana in the grand scheme of things, whereas Ne (+ Si) would focus more on finding this connection in the first place. Also, the reaction 'cool looking gradient' sounds more of a somewhat casually interested Ne reaction than an Ni reaction. Ni types tend to take their perceptions very seriously while Ne users tend to take their them much more lightly (as 'cool looking' sounds only casually interested). However, although I might very critical here , I do think this is one of your most interesting videos. I even wonder if of your more casual videos do not kind of burry videos like this. Also, you seem to have a very friendly and likeable demeaner which makes these videos even more enjoyable to watch.

[@the-doubting-thomas62]

I think the cool looking bananas example is there to represent the detachment Ni/Se users experience when it comes to tangible objects (in comparison with Si users) When I see ripe bananas I might be like "oh wow cool looking gradient effect 😮" but then I almost unconsciously will relate the ripening process with a lot of others things that are not related to the banana in front of me. Also, the conscious choice of taking something too seriously and externalizing it as such, being more intellectually selective, etc is way more related to your judging functions. You're probably describing Ni when combined with Te/Fi. I find that Ni is way more subjective and chilled when combined with Fe/Ti.

[@gouthambolt]

Does gaining information from internet count as sensing?

[@Coneman3]

Are you sat in a spaceship, and what's with the music? lol

[@apollo1055]

My INTP friend is like how you describe Ni. He thinks out loud and said the exact same thing in the Ni car example. But he has Ne. Could this be how Ne users think too?

[@DanielDavidAllenChannel]

Ne users are way more likely to verbalize these kinds of thoughts for sure. An Ni user might be sitting there in the car having the insight quietly while the Ne user is talking about it (and probably many other things)

[@BasedGodEmperorTrump]

Hypothetically speaking, say I'm texting my girlfriend. I ask her a question to which she replies with "Nah". I've never seen or heard her use that particular word before until today. My instant thought process is that she learned it from someone else. Most likely a guy. So, I come to the conclusion she's cheating. What cognitive functions are at work in this scenario?

[@solo.4470]

20:33

[@pizzadohpaz]

I took a cognitive functions test and got 74% Ni and 73% Si...so what does that mean for my personality??

[@DanielDavidAllenChannel]

It could mean a number of things: a) flaws in the way the test calculates those things b) you may have provided conflicting answers c) you may have developed both functions really well d) some other reason. :D If you want- I can do a video call with you and try to figure out which one you prefer?

[@pizzadohpaz]

@@DanielDavidAllenChannel Going off of what you said, I think I probably have just developed both functions because I think my parents are more Si and I'm more Ni, naturally. I think they taught me to think that way, so I developed it early. Thank you so much for your help!

[@DanielDavidAllenChannel]

For sure :)
