No. Te creates a model for understanding individual concepts, if that model is internally congruent then it passes to be integrated to a sort of "theory of everything" that Te uses to test other future unproven concepts. We don't make assumptions for the case, we work bottom up then compare it to all other systems Ti is more of "if I take this as true and this is unproven then this reasoning can't be figured it out" as an example. It's reduced to yes/no absolute reasoning used to prove accuracy case by case, which makes it work more efficiently and hence faster because it doesn't have to relate that one case to all the other cases. You're not relating the total system to all other systems. You build it up using your assumptions to prove yes/no cases efficiently and accurately as if your assumptions where true then build the system based the yes/no cases

@@muhammadedwards8425 Would you say that if you give a premise to a Te user, they’re more likely to make assumptions and leaps of logic when getting to a conclusion? While if you give that same premise to Ti users, they will deduce and get to a more precise conclusion? If that’s the case, I’d say Te users are more likely to make assumptions when processing/deducing from the input, but less likely to make assumptions about the input itself. And the reverse for Ti users

[@muhammadedwards8425]

@@ShadowQuikTLDR - No, definitely not.The point of Te and Ti are both to annihilate as many assumptions as possible in their search for verity. Controls for assumptions matter more to thinking types than the thought of assumptions themselves do Te users typically have more proof that Ti's, but Ti can reason that truth through their accepted ideas faster while Te is still busy comparing it's parts to other systems. As an example of Te, Te: Y + F= H Y = M + m + I + K F = M + f + ?( I ) + S H = 2M + m + f + 2I + S + K "The likelihood of verity increased do to all values besides I being present. We should also check how H, Y, F performs, if Y performs like F and other values besides H, Y, F like A, B, C perform similarly if they have related parts. Try to isolate the behaviors of different parts and compare to H, Y, and F to increase the likelihood of us knowing if I in F, while also checking if the system works like all other systems and is integrated into our current theory of the total overarching system"

"Intuitions" sounds to fluffy and lacks presicion when describing Ni hero imo (ironic). To me, Ni hero is not a "gut feeling" or "feeling" at all but a zoomed out view of things and how the connections work over time...the underlying template that holds the Si. I'm not saying anyone or function is perfect but often times Ni heros do make sense but non Ni heros are not perceiving what Ni is trying to convey for they are simply listening for Si instead. I mean, I get the confusion but on the other end it can feel desmisive.

@@JungINFJ Ni hero is just a heroic sense of desire. Of what you want/what your goal is! It's not some mystical bs! It's just desire. What motivates and energizes you! Yes, Ni users are often proactive and can see potential problems they may face in the pursuit of their goals, but no, Ni isnt some magical sense of intuition that just let's you know the future or that sees all the zoomed out connections between seemingly unconnected concepts... That's Ne, not Ni. Ni is focused! It zooms IN, not out! So I dont know what you seem to be going on about here, but it doesnt sound like Ni to me. For example, Ni + Te = Ambition. This is why wayfarers are imo the most ambitious of all the types! Their strong sense of Ni desire focuses in on some ideal or goal that they desire. Their Te has a need for power and reputation. With the 2 together, the wayfarer develops a strong desire for something, often surrounding the concept of a higher level of power or reputation. Aka, they develop ambition!

Pretty sure “intelligence” lies more on the perception functions than the judging functions. It’s more about being able to see things others can’t, being in genuine and innovative, imaginative. The judging functions don’t come up with new pieces but rather allocate and sort what’s already there. As of today we have super computers and artificial intelligence that can do Ti better than most of us. And yet we know they’re not smarter than us because they haven’t matched the human’s ability for extrapolation and creativity. Intelligence and creativity are pretty much the same thing. It’s what the top dogs keep saying too.

As an INTP I was surprised with the assertion that Ti “assumes” anything. In fact I think Ti is obsessed sometimes with reinventing the wheel so to speak. If I only had the time back I spent thinking on something only to see someone had clearly stated the same argument & reached “my” conclusion decades, or even did so in antiquity. I think Te has the strength of “assuming” and then building upon those assumptions...and are more likely to reassess and tear down those assumptions and rebuild upon new ones as zeitgeists change. Whereas some Ti heroes are more likely to “trust” his or her assumptions because of the rigor put into arriving at them. - Great talk, fascinating topic, as always. However if you still want to burn an idea, concept, construct, or philosophy to the ground , Ti hero will relish the task and ask for seconds, it’s a pass time, even if it’s playing devils advocate, to the annoyance of most ppl, who just want to move on already.

[@さいばーよっくしゅ]

From an Fi user's perspective both Te and Ti are intellegent but they have different attitudes and preferences about their thoughts. Te users are not confident in their own thoughts and theories so they prefer wanting feedbacks and data from the outside world. So they end up doing experiments and try out to confrim that they are right. Te is skilled in discovering the principles in their prefered conditions but they reject systems that other people creates which doesn't share their principles. On the other hand, Ti users have an amazing intrinsic power to believe that they are right no matter what the outcome of the experiments might be. They are always calm and analyze the outcome without relying on the feedbacks. They find exceptions out of general rules to refine their own theory. Ti users are awsome because they have no preference in principles so they can find a better solution based on the principles and rules that Te users discovered. Te is all about understanding and discovering, Ti is all about refining and creating.

And great point about the voting and related stuff. I would say that INFJ's especially are very naive to politics and ideology, but other Ti's(like the INTP you mentioned) can also be.

Are you you sure about that?

If we were to define Ti as simply causal boolean thinking statements at what point does the subjectivity inherit to ti come into play when it tries to define a thing, the example you gave with voting system sounds more like Ne testing an argument out in a public space to get some data points for further contemplation and not necessarily an example of a sole ti assertion

I completely disagree with the assumption part, it is quite the opposite in fact. When I debate with TJs they are the one throwing assumptions at me and every single damned time I have to point them out. They don't even notice that they are making assumptions because they don't make their thoughts as logically consistent internally. They can see facts and make assumptions based on them, the first most common assumption that they make is assuming that the fact is true. With Ti doms as I it has to be logically consistent internally, there is no place for assumptions. We notice logical fallacies such as assumptions so well that they become annoying when others throw them at us. ''true/false'' thinking is but one thing Ti can do, the main thing Ti does are ''subjective images''. For exemple calculating a simple multiplication such as 138 x 67 is done with said images. Ti is intensive *Thinking*, it is done with the front area of the brain and goes way beyong mere true/false reasoning, *in fact if you ask me a true/false or yes/no answer I will give you a ''it depends'' most fo the time*

This though. The biggest struggle I have with Ti users is their tendency to think there is absolute measurable indisputable truth to subjective social and emotional interpretations. While I agree there are some indisputable, predictable measurable truths. There are some issues that are too nuanced and subjective to have a concrete black and white all encompassing “correct” or “true”answer. I know I have Ti trickster, so I get that I am inclined to not see one answer. I know. But, tapping into my TE logic using the scientific method: in order for an undisputed predictable outcome you have to also have control of all the variables or else you can not trust the accuracy of the results. I think you can identify trends and patterns and make pretty good predictions and guesses (hell, I’m an Ne dom-this is my life) I don’t think that a Ti Dom who isn’t that attentive to the complexities of human emotions (especially their own) is any authority for “truth” on understanding or quantifying the emotional beliefs and motives behind any social interaction. An example that comes to mind from an interaction with a Ti user I had. I voiced some positive beliefs I had about myself about my actions through difficult times. While all of personal self esteem is always moving. This is something I felt was accurate to my belief about myself in those moments . I think I said something like: “The way I acted despite the cruelty of that situation was really quite lovely.” (Don’t challenge it, I really was. Kidding. But not really.) But the Ti dom I said that to said: “Those who actually believe something about themselves don’t need to say it out loud.” I’m not too focused on the insensitivity of the comment, because that’s not what I’m arguing (It was years ago, it’s irrelevant to my personal feelings now) But, at the inaccuracy of the comment, just in general. And how that is more a belief through social conditioning about what that means about a person on the outside. I think that idea has been accepted as fact by the social conditioning through manipulation of the idea of humility. Which feels to me was born out of jealousy, and a way to control others because of it. (Sorry tangent) But, it’s things like this that make me theorize that in order for a Ti user to make sense of something that they really don’t seem to understand (introverted feeling and social patterning and emotional nuance) they write these concrete rules on how these things work and it limits them from expansion in a space they aren’t comfortable with and it limits what they can do because they’re so married to their system. I don’t find this with ENTPs so much, but I have found it pretty consistently in ESTPs, INTPs, and ISTPs. Is there any accuracy to my observations or is it just my personal bias? I open to being wrong or hearing feedback? But, this is why I agree that Ti ISN’T INTELLIGENCE. I also thought it was profound how he described intelligence. Thoughts about this?

If Ti is True/False logic, Te is Pass/Fail logic. One drills down what something is not, the other is satisfied with something that fits "Close enough". Both must make assumptions because all logic is based on assumptions. Deductive reasoning (Ti) needs at least one assumption, Inductive reasoning (Te) needs many assumptions to be true. This is the uncomfortable truth about the nature of truth. Turtles all the way down. See Godel's Incompleteness theorem. I see intelligence as being more than any single function. Intelligence is essentially the ability to survive diverse complex problems. Problems range from the social, to the moral, to the chaotic, to the logical, to the physical, to the metaphysical and so on. We all are stronger in some areas than others but those who consistently show they can handle the most diverse problems are likely the most intelligent overall. Some can also be savants in one area and helplessly dependent in others.

Before watching, Chase's definition of inteligence is something like the measurement of the ability to reach maturity. Edit: Close enough?

[@jhinthevirtuoso4886]

Funny that you mentioned how assumptions can fuck us TI users over. I've been assuming way too much when i started my job in IT, i had to learn it the hard way. It allowed me to see where I am too prideful though. Though TI also challenges a lot of assumptions as well when it comes to external i information.

[@foday529]

Ti is subjective truth not objective, and the reason why logic is used is because INTPs are "independent thinkers", it is in their nature. They have to use some tool, which is logic, to walk at the beat of their own drums. They are out there on their own by themselves, all they can rely on is their tools to help them think independently and their past experience (Si) which helps them make decisions quicker as they gain more experience. Also it is not assumptions it is patterns (Ne). It may start with assumptions with a young INTP but later they learn to see patterns as they gain more experience. For example when I approach girls I can tell by looking at their body language or how they look what type of person they are or what they are interested it etc. Also their is governing principles, facts which is used to compare with the INTP's experience to see how close he is to the truth which requires reading and the drive to understand. There is compassion which is all about understanding self and people. Also there is a difference between smart and educated. Smart is what you are and educated is what you become. An INTP can be smart but not educated and an educated person can be educated but not smart. Educated doctors, engineers, lawyers do stupid things and smart people who have quick wit, are driven to understand, are always reading, careful not say or do something stupid or be outsmarted or manipulated are not educated like doctors, engineers or lawyers (but they can be if they go after the degree). INTPs seek the truth to compare with their subjective truth (Ti) and experience (Si) to see how close they are to the truth. Smart and educated are both under intelligence, intelligence is more of a spectrum......so is Ti intelligence, with the other functions it is. Ti is "smart" not "educated".

As an INTP we don't outsource our info or ideas we have original ideas that come from Ti and Ne and you claim that Ti in ENTP'S which you claim to be your type so basically you're parsing your own Ti that is Ironic or to say inconsistent TI and Ne are good at parsing info that is not logically sound on the plus INTP'S are the Architects of ideas not getting logic from others or mentors we come up with original ideas .

[@laaaryify]

Great video mr, Joseph. I am an INTJ and would like to say a few words. Of course that every person is different and there are individual differences of intelligente even among the types, ok. That said, I completely agree with the internal problem of Ti, epsecially the more attuned extraverted thinkers(ENTJ, INTJ) would be much less credulous about authorities and information, especially INTJ's who disregards rules and authority(what gives them more emotional freedom). The problem of premisses is really important, because, as you said, your assumptions might be false, and I would say that in a way, using logic and assumptions can be a shortcut for information and knowledge, because theoretically it "spares" you the effort of actually researching those topics and comparing the data. That's exactly the point which Nietzsche made in his Philosophy(an INTJ), criticizing the highly intelligent and at the same time metaphysical and based on premisses(objective morals or intelligible character of things) Philosophy of Kant(probably an INTP). In this regard I would say, that the assumption based character of Ti together with the extraverted feeling(prone to others' opinions and judgments) can lead Tis(like INFJs and INTPs) to just be caught up in false idealizations, that can be even self-serving at some times.

There is a huge difference between wisdom and intelligence and I think the Ti hero as an INFJ like me is big on wisdom but not so much on intelligence side but intelligence can stem from it whenever I want to have it and Te hero is big on intelligence as intelligence is totally experimental based but less on wisdom. Ti user doesn't make assumptions out of the blue they use intuitive thinking deep wisdom plus internal solid guidance as everything stems from Imagination Ti user can be very intelligent as I also think every inventor on this planet is huge Ti hero that successfully completed their journey towards intelligence wisdom helps you chose the correct path but intelligence make you fail on many than to chose what you have found correct. INFJs don't go there they use wisdom to identify their path than move towards intelligence. They also believe Highly in this: "Your sickness is from you, but you do not perceive it, and your remedy is within you, but you do not sense it. You presume you are a small entity, but within you is enfolded the entire Universe. You are indeed the evident book, by whose alphabets the hidden becomes manifest. Therefore, you have no need to look beyond yourself, what you seek is within you, if only you reflect.” -Imam Ali (AS).

[@zile8869]

Nice INTJ click bait there in the thumbnail... The way I see intelligence is a bit different tho. You seem to have just focused on Ti and Te, aka, the thinking functions. But when you look at how the word intelligence is generally used, eg. In IQ tests, or in research regarding the evolutionary origin of intelligence or in regards to AI, etc. The way intelligence is defined isn't just to do with thinking or true/false judgment! Things like 'memory' and 'mental reaction time' are often also discussed in such conversations of intelligence. Often they look at how emotionally connected individuals are with one another as a part of their intelligence. And lastly, the ability to look ahead and plan for the future, is often described as one of the most advanced forms of Intelligence! It is for this reason that I believe all 8 cognitive functions play a role in Intelligence! The 8 cognitive functions are the very building blocks of human intelligence, as I see it! For this reason I dont fully agree with the way you seem to be mainly focusing on Ti and Te as the sources of intelligence in this video. Although, yes I do agree with you on the connection between responsibility and intelligence tho. That's a great observation, especially considering the fact that the parent function (the responsibility function) is directly connected via orbit to the critic function (the wisdom function) with the concept of wisdom often being closely associated with intelligence.
