Se vs Si which are you hearing?

[@BehindThe5]

does anyone else get low key annoyed when Si doms are telling a super long detailed story that wasn’t asked for? I find myself sitting back thinking “ok so what’s the conclusion... what are you trying to get at? I don’t need all these details” but I force myself to politely listen to the whole story. It’s different when i’m actively present and eager to hear their story (then it’s brilliant!), but most of the time that’s just not the case 😅

[@OnLifeandLove]

This is exactly what happens with me (probably an ENTJ) and my mother (probably an ISFJ). She often tells me about something happened at her work, mentioning the names and procedures which distracts me from understanding her point. When she finishes, I summarized what she said in three sentences. In contrast, when I describe an event, I usually say the result or whatever has the biggest impact first.

[@Khswart1]

Another totally different way to look as the sensory functions rather than how they behave relative to time, is how they literally perceive information. This is one of hardest things to fully explain to others in the Mbti realm but I’ll try to write my thoughts out. Se is a little easier, I think it’s like the more in the moment and “real” sensory function. An Se user perceives sensory information in a very objective factual way. “It is what it is” no strings attached type thing. Now Si however is very weird. It’s like getting a ‘vibe’ from something that you perceive, solely based off the sensory information it gives off. For me personally (INTP) tertiary Si with my dominant Ti makes for some very odd ways of perceiving and understanding things, and it makes it hard to explain concepts in my mind. But for example, in like edm music, there’s all kinds of crazy weird unnatural sounds. But to my Si when I hear them, I get like a whole vibe off of one sound. I kinda get an image in my head and almost like the emotion or feeling that sound gives off , what I actually perceive is literally the subjective impression that sound gives me, it takes a lot of focus and effort to make myself objectively hear the sound, and not hear all the noise in my head that the sound impresses upon me, does this make any sense? IMO this may be why Si users have the stereotype of having better memories, because when you perceive things through Si, it is made into something more than what it is in reality, it is our brain attaching subjective meaning to the things we perceive, perhaps making it easier to identify later or remember/store/catalogue. Pleas let me know your thoughts, I can try to elaborate if I’m not making any sense.

[@lethoxis]

After trying to figure this out by reading/watching content, your comment just made Si a lot clearer! It does make sense, your example of the sound giving you a "vibe" and not just being a sound is really interesting. Do you have more precisions on that? Like what would be something that the sound makes you remember? I'm just thinking as I'm writing it, but as an INFP having Ne then Si, it's blowing my mind how I just realized I'm slightly doing that. Thanks for your comment, have a great day :)

Reminds me of how you said there's a proper order or progression with Si. Whereas I'll just jump around. But with abstract intuitive subjects I love to stick to one idea and deep dive.

[@andreagreenwood93]

Having to find real-world sensory examples to slap in so I don't sound like a crazy person is very relatable as an INTJ haha. Then the Si doms want to get stuck on the thing in the example and I want to move on because I'm like, Noooo, that's not the point, it was just an example, a placeholder, it could have been anything! 🤦‍♀️ What's interesting to me is that intuitive types can sometimes go round and round talking in complete abstracts to each other and sometimes know exactly what kind of "situations" etc each other is referring to without any concrete examples- it's the underlying meaning that's understood. Sometimes it really is like speaking a different language.

I'm not ENTP since I clearly use more Te than Ti, I care for solid facts, truth, and external sources to make an iron-clad case vs Ti which makes convincing logical broad and abstract theories and arguments but they seem conspiratory and weird how they reach conclusions which can be right but it's sometimes as if only the Ti user understands their thinking.

I think I’m a si-dom despite always getting ni in these silly online tests, lol…. I will say that I think si is mostly about valuing experience, and I also think they are heavy into pattern recognition (something often labeled as a ni-thing). I say this because a pattern is essentially a predictable sequence of events rooted in historical data (sounds like a definition of si…), and most people use them as a tool to familiarize themselves with the unknown (therefore, “valuing experience” by applying patterns). If anything, applying a pattern to a situation, and using your imagination to tweak parameters one at a time to project forward what might happen is extremely expansive (an ensemble of outcomes is established, Ne-like) and a very si approach…. But this pattern-recognition, future-thinking stuff is often labeled as ni. I honestly don’t think there really is much intuition to noticing patterns - they are rooted in reality. 👀 I’m guessing most people think they are intuitive creatures and immediately cross the si-doms of their list of possibilities without really considering what si might be….

I've took the personality tests several times and it says that I am an INTJ and I've also watched several videos of how an INTJ work and they were accurate but I still don't believe that I am an INTJ-A recently 5 of my little annoying stupid brothers came into my house it's been a week and now I lost my curiosity over things the examinations to which I haven't prepared(intentionally becuz of the circumstances) are in 2 weeks and I can't find any logic in things and also hanging around with some friends whom I used to call stupid and hated once,I can't deduce my brain don't wanna agree I am going into depression I've never really cared of being an INTJ except when I found it out the reason why I am saying this it's mostly accurate so what should I do?(I've lot of my time into this pls reply) I no more have any passion on anything and also no plans I am just going blindly and I am also 16 years old and also people say INTJ's are good at math but I am not,which seriously affected me when I took the MBTI seriously but eventually I didn't cared about that which may have led me to this state of a living empty box.

[@SantiagoRodriguez-fe6ng]

had you take a cognitive functions test? from there you can start to build ur function stack and discover ur type

[@SantiagoRodriguez-fe6ng]

remember it is about preferences

[@zizilia5784]

I hope you’re feeling better now. In terms of questioning your own type, Did you take the true MBTI test or equivalent cognitive test or was it the ‘16 Personalities’ test? -A is a 16P thing. 16P is a different test based on different theory (big 5) to MBTI (cognition) and often gives slightly different type results.

Or you can say that Ni paints abstract art with people never being able to quite define what it is, while Si paints literal objects...and Se paints visceral or shock factor aesthetics? Or something kinesthetic or interactive art ...Lol --infj.

Yes, I can paint a picture, HOWEVER, it would be an abstract painting and only I would know what it really was. Lol

This video was helpful. Different topic: whenever making a decision... I think about the possibilities (options) that ''could be'' and I choose one and try to connect the dots (or option) which I chose to be correct, Is this what Ni feels like, or am I using Ne? I'm scared of focusing on the present (Se) and tend to be caught up in future planning (Ni)... If Se's my inferior, it doesn't make sense for me to use Ne. Btw got typed as an INTJ, Te, Fi, and Se make sense, Me striving for possibilities doesn't.

[@brianbertrand8322]

Good. Yet I list things logistically and also am obsessed with categorization. In OPS, they said MF TeSi BPCS, and that still maps to MBTI ENTJ. The perceptual seems very fluid and blended. Oh well, I'll get it all sorted out one day

Nice and clear as usual. Is that M-Te. I was able to visualize in the abstract what you were talking about but not the actual things.

[@jeremy454]

As an INTJ I like talking to ESFJ’s because they talk so much with Si info it’s like exercise for my brain and then I can help them see the big picture and give them the space to use their Ne. It broadens both of our minds

If Ni is categorical thinking (excuse if I'm being reductive) than would it not be common to extrapolate from outside the category for sensing input ? I.e. Jimmy's boat xyz ... sharks xyz Jimmy's boat is like a shark... vs boats boats boats...

[@stevendeherrera2240]

I guess what I'm asking is: would Ni not be more abstract category vs Se being more representational category?

[@erik_1953]

I remember talking to my friends, about the design of a new modelairplane. And to my great surprise they said, "wait, wait, if we close our eyes it is dark, and you seem to see the whole thing in your brain". So i started to make those 3D sketches on paper... I still do. Even after explaining a drawing at my work, for more then an hour, somone said, i only see a white paper with black lines.. So i can not ask people for their MBTI thing, but i have to slowly build things up. What is a problem, because nobody has time, or can focus for more then ...... seconds... Great subject about communication between MBTI types.. $$$$$$ O yes, if all effords fail.... Read the instructions..

[@BimepWind]

I still didn't understand about Se? Maybe some more examples?

[@nacisots8611]

I have a question, I am an INTJ but I got (on Keys2function) 30 for introverted sensing and 16 for extroverted sensing. clearly I am an introverted sensor which is not what INTJs have as they have extroverted sensing not introverted sensing. (or so I have been told) should I not be an ISTJ and not an INTJ?

Si is SAM and Se is RAM. Si is a regular movie. Se is a Tarantino movie.

[@hidum5779]

I think this is precisely why I sucked at chess initially. It has a lot of variables and thousands of tactics. Tactics involve a lot of orderly things to be played with several different pieces. My Ni-Se ass can only focus on one thing at a time. Although as I progressed and was able to recognize the patterns I can switch between different tactics effortlessly. I'm still not a pro player by any means though. If someone throws in some kind of unexpected tactic my brain totally splatters. And to think they call us INTJs good at chess, I mean there are definitely some of them who are pro so congrats. But my head gets dizzy if I have to focus on so many things at a time. Obviously I'm not the kind who gives up so easily :D

[@writerducky2589]

Respecting the order of things... Oh, man. When I was a little kid my mom had to make sure she taught me the right method the very first time I did something, because I would absolutely refuse to do that thing any other way after that. In fact, it’s something I’ve had to work on accepting that "the order of things" is often arbitrary and irrelevant. Will your dinner plates fit in the cupboard only if they’re stacked in a specific order? Sure, then it’s important, (or at least useful). Keeping those gaming cards (Magic/Yugioh/whatever) in the same order as they were in the pack? Not so much. Still feel the urge, though, and get annoyed at people not respecting the system, particularly if the system promotes efficiency and saves me energy from having to figure out/sort everything from scratch again.

Question: I have seriously good recall of events and am also committed to making economics, society and religion work humanisticaly. I call it inter-independence, where a cooperative would cut out the finance sector, have cooperative purchasing and government and home grown food. Can an INTJ have a huge ability to recall the past?
