Myers-Briggs and the Jungian cognitive functions do not define one's capacity (and desire) for kindness, good will, loyalty, forgiveness, etc. Neither does introversion or extraversion. If they did, some of us might as well embrace our inner villain.

@Deezy2_Blessed That. Is a very specific number

"...true extraverted intuition is possessed of a singular resourcefulness, a good nose for objectively real possibilities, this archaicized intuition has an amazing flair for all the ambiguous, shadowy, sordid, dangerous possibilities lurking in the background." - Carl Jung

@wahalaforever lol, that also sounds similar to me. I sometimes use notebooks to parse my thoughts on something I'm working on, and then never return to them again.

I hate journalling. The few times I've tried always fail miserably because if I write anything beyond detached observation that makes my "historical record" more personal, I shortly thereafter want to burn it all.

"The intuitive function is represented in consciousness by an attitude of expectancy, by vision and penetration; but only from the subsequent result can it be established how much of what was “seen” was actually in the object, and how much was read into it." - Psychological Types

The show The Copenhagen Test has some pretty good examples of Ti vs Te. It's also a 6's worst nightmare.

Some days I think I'm on the verge of a brilliant breakthrough, while other days I think I'm a complete idiot.

Nostalgia is the punishment for good memories.

Sometimes when people mention something I said or thought even just a few months back, I want to be like "Yeah, that was two-months-ago me. Current me is much more highly evolved and disagrees adamantly with my former self."

"If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing." - Benjamin Franklin

@Deezy2_Blessed I try not to be rude with it though 😭 Just controlled releases so I don't implode 😬😂

[Mara @TypingPractical]

@Deezy2_Blessed I agree with the first half, but releasing anger makes me feel better so purpose found lol.

[Mara @TypingPractical]

@Deezy2_Blessed Lol. I agree that it's "pointless" but some people need to release the anger somehow.

@SusanStorm984 The ETJs do it too in my experience. It's just a high Te thing.

[Mara @TypingPractical]

I've been in kind of a slump for the past two years, but 2026 is looking like it might be the year that I finally pull out of it.

[Mara @TypingPractical]

@SusanStorm984 From what I've seen, TJs have a default "fix it" instinct, which matches what you're saying. I'm married to an ISTJ. To be fair, we both suck at emotional expression, but I'm not that quick to go into a "fix it" mode for other people.

Ni vs. Te: Which Does The Planning?

When you wake up at 4am with a head full of thoughts, mentally writing the next section of an article you've been working on. And you can't silence it all and go back to sleep until you dump it all into a note on your phone.
