Me likes it.
And it's a concept I deeply relate to.
“Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.”
Introvert.

valuing.
For some reason I don't think this is quite IEI, though I'm not sure why. Perhaps it's just? The concept appeals to me, but I'm sure that it's incorrect.

I agree with this philosophy and I think it is SE oriented detail.

WP, what happened to your unconditional love and willingness to devote all avatar-related space to Zach Braff? I miss seeing his face by your posts.

Well, there used to be an NeTi on this forum that went by the nick "detail"
So my vote is SiFe.
:wink:

You have this strange habit of showing up out of nowhere and cracking me the hell up.
And I actually remember Detail, lol

You seem to have this strange habit of leaving openings laying around every time I pop in to see what's going on.
It's like I can't NOT say something silly!!

Those analysis are very interesting. Thanks, ann.
My thoughts were along the lines of that the person is probably an introvert. The way he talks about himself and his thoughts seems very modest yet very personal, deep and profound. (Not saying extroverts are necessarily shallow.)
The "how and when of things" he mentions is very interesting, but I can't figure out what it could mean in Socionics terms. I initially thought it had something to do with Ni, but I'm not sure. It could very well be Te HA. And I don't quite get his point. Does this declared curiosity about the how and when of things imply that he's naturally unaware of (/incapable of perceiving) those things, or is he just a "nosey" person (as you say) and wants to know?
I think the way he talks about it is interesting because it makes you genuinely empathize. I admire the unabashed sincerity.
Yea, I thought Ne (strong/valued) for that part as well. It sounds like something an Ne ego would very likely say, imo.
Well, the way I interpret and personally relate to that quote is through Si I guess. I pay a lot of attention to detail in what I do, sometimes even for the sake of neglecting the big picture or the purpose of what I'm doing. I always refine and modify small and tiny pieces of the puzzle I'm assembling in accordance to my own sense and critical eye. I know that small details make up the big picture and I'm never ashamed to purse them. I know I can never truly reach perfection, but at least I'm confident in my strivings.

I think it's a little difficult to tell based on the quotes given.Those analysis are very interesting. Thanks, ann.

However, this person is obviously really into music. Creating music, not just listening to it. As such, it would benefit him to figure out how the musician created whatever it is he created, and what the inspirations could have been behind it, etc. If he has this information, or could figure out what could possibly have been going on in the musician's mind or such, then that would give him ideas in terms of creating his own music.
The 'how and when' referred to music.
Specifically, it seems, music that moves him.While I'm a firm believer in letting the music speak for itself I'm also extremely curious about the 'how and when' of things. Whenever I hear something that moves me questions sometimes come to mind. Maybe I wonder about the conception of the music, the initial inspiration or the title of a piece....etc.
My understanding of this particular quote is that normally he accepts the music he hears as is, without trying to understand it nor pick it apart, nor look for symbolism or trying to figure out what moods its creating, etc. (He very well could be doing these things but just doesn't mention it.)
But when a piece moves him...(could be referring to Fi or Fe..or even other functions), then he becomes interested in it, questions pop into his mind, and then he starts looking into the hows and whens and inspirations etc.
My initial reaction is to interpret that as F creative being triggered into a T HA. But I recognize that I have biases and as such might be projecting my own experiences and motivations into the quote. If I attempt to separate my experiences and such from my reading of the quote, then I can see that there could be other things going on that I'm not particularly familiar with.
Just as some people saw the word "detail" in the first quote and jumped to the assumptions that it referred to Ti or Se. (I had done that initially too, before you added the other quotes.)
However, I think that the initial quote can apply to ANY type, as each type focuses on certain types of details. Whether it's the details of a theory, of a relationship, of a political campaign, of a person's life, of a vehicle, etc. Each type has their own details that they deal with. So the initial quote given can apply to any type.
With the added quotes, we get a better sense of the person, at least in terms of him and music. His writing seems to allow for multiple approaches (types) to get something out of it. So I can easily see different types identifying with this guy's writings.

I think that if we look at the quote as being applicable to any type, and recognize that each type deals with their own types of details, then the quote is an awesome quote, imo.
An example,"Genius lies in the unabashed pursuit of detail."
A person who unabashedly pursues Si details will be viewed as being a genius in Si things, particularly if those Si details come natural for the person, and difficult for the one viewing him as a genius.
The same thing can be said of Fi details, Te details, Ti details, etc etc.
If we didn't have people pursuing those Si and/or Te details, where would us poor NeFi be?

"(...) Goodness is not rewarded here but it is somehow healing because the worst kind of misfortune is also comforting for those alive. That's what stories do, they heal us. Fiction comforts us when we are distressed. While novels comfort an individual, Epics comfort a community, a Nation and even Civilization."
That beautiful quote Is from a Youtuber called Fiction Beast :
IEI?
Hello, my name is Bee. Pleased to meet you .
