Type my functions ArchonAlarion split

[ArchonAlarion]

An Ne/Ti speaks like this:

Here's my own current understanding, and I don't vouch it as the truth or anything because it's so heavily based in a hypothesis about cognitive structure, obviously none of which I have the expertise to prove. I'm also more interested in the social aspects of socionics.

I think It's slightly more subtle than what you're claiming. The SEI will perceive the dog and cat as objects because that's what they are. Individual, independent and static. He hasn't really taken interest in them and is using Se to initially observe and catalogue them.

When the dog comes closer to be petted, or when the SEI takes interest, he enters the SEI's sensory field. Then aspects of the dog - like the dog's back - begin to be understood and manipulated as a field, similar to the SEIs own body.

Another example. When someone is drinking juice, the juice is perceived as an Si field in interaction with the person's taste buds but the hard glass is perceived as Se. If you splash the juice on your face, it's perceived as direct contact and through Se. The sticky residue is perceived as an Si field.

Those are simple examples (just for demonstration) that integrate into more complex systems depending on intelligence and other qualities.

Ne acquires glimpses into the nature of objects directly, upon sight of an object. For example, I see a mathematical problem, and without reference to an established system or any guide, the equation's form itself suggests how to manipulate the symbols to arrive at an answer.

It's hard to describe any intuition, but I'll try to contrast it with Ni. Ni is similar to Si, except, instead of a physical body, Ni collects information into an intellectual body, and incoming information is made to fit or is assimilated into the system. This body could be a set of memories, experiences or even part of the individual's life-narrative. As such it is dynamic, constantly morphing and even slightly changed by the information it absorbs. An Ni dominant gravitates towards intellectual harmony in the same way an Si dominant gravitates towards sensory harmony. Unassimilated information represents danger and must be either investigated or avoided altogether.

Ne is the opposite of Ni. I see a piece of information, and rather than making it fit into a framework, I give it the complete benefit of the doubt. I think, which system best categorizes it? rather than how do I categorize it within my system? Since it's not always possible to categorize something, whether because it's too complex or because too many possibilities are present, Ne winds up with a chaotic intellectual life and no intellectual harmony. As a rule, whatever value the object has doesn't come from my own impression of it, but seems to derive from outside - from properties the object itself has.

An Ni/Fe speaks like this:

The corruption will flood and suffuse us all eventually, no matter how hard we fight the current. Memories will fade, hopes will be sullied, people cleansed, killed, freed. We all lose ourselves somewhere along the way -- between our sense of duty and feeling of purpose, between expressing the truth and selling a good story, between fulfilling roles and changing the established order. Everyone falls -- often as nothing more than dried out vagrants in the desert, gasping as the stale fumes and particles are swept into us -- and lost foot-steps form the stencils that the cement for the buildings of tomorrow will be poured into. Innocents will die, the undercurrent will take care of them; the noble will perish in the silent darkness of the night ocean. Those who have been swept around and tossed back to shore will tell the tales of those formidable waters; memories will be enveloped in the relentless ripples of the waves that stole who we were yesterday and threw us into who we were to become tomorrow. It isn't some idealistic search against the current -- Fitzgerald got that shit wrong. It's an ineluctable venture into the endless land of tombs that we are compelled to set out upon, because fighting for our lives makes us feel like we are actually affecting something.

Writing is only substantial when the phenomena captured are swiftly sifted through the mind, commuted through the heart, and spit out through the ink. People really shouldn't bother writing if they think of things to jot down, sit around and word-smith, or restructure a paragraph several times for the best "feel." Motherfuckers don't even know what a feeling is these days. Like I've said before, words are bullets that penetrate into, and explode within the mind, their fragments coruscating into sporadic images and associations at lightning speed. You can't "know" what you write, you don't see the ideas just before they transfer to the paper; you just react as the impetuses hit you, striking with the tip of the pen in every direction of impact. Are people supposed to read your mind and linguistically masturbate their way to a level of "comprehension" of some neat idea that may or may not affect them? No. Read something once -- your immediate reaction is the sole beacon of quality. Write shit once, because the moment is the only thing worth capturing. Don't sit around, weaving in and out of time, slipping phrases into the empty spaces at arbitrarily-chosen intervals. Every perception, reaction, feeling -- they all need to be compressed into one pithy ball of substance. Put all the powder in the bullet, meld it together, and send it into someone's head. Don't break it down and show them how it's designed and what its purpose is and blah blah. People want to see shit, not be lectured about it. So many "writers" -- they forget this. They get carried away with things like imaginative poems, intricate storylines, eloquent syntax. There's nothing to define good writing by and you can't "become" a writer. It's just a potential, a sphere of energy that is either shattered and released or danced around and pointed to. The real writers are the ones who unlock windows of humanity, and let people feel a transitory breath of fresh air, catch a wistful glance into the vast horizon -- they actually create an effect in people that won't pass with the day and get tossed into the congestion of their dreams, only to be faintly recalled some years later. Take the timeless and evince it, take the universal and make it personal, take reality and the soul and smash them together until nobody can tell the difference anymore. That is what a real writer does.

Neither you nor I have the metaphoric attraction that Strrrng has. The Ni is obvious; His abstractions are subjective, and continuous. They are not module, you cannot break them up into smaller concepts, they are not replicable, they do not fit into a framework. His writing style is completely different. To me, the difference between static and dynamic is obvious. Your words are broken up into clearly separate, discrete parts, He has a single continuing train of thought.

My abstractions are not personal, they can be replaced, stored, modified, sythesized, and fractured. They are "module"

So if you will agree that Strrrng is at least conveying Ni, I am pretty damn sure I don't write like that and tbh as interesting as what he said is, I find myself often skipping through his big blocks of text because there is no associative concepts I can latch onto.

Do you see the difference?

If you want to debate this further, start a new thread. Don't derail this one.

So by this criteria, Tom Ezra and Expat are static types.

Why wouldn't a personal system have all the qualities you listed?

I can usually understand and classify strrrng's concepts, but I don't always agree with him.

They're Rational types. That counts for something too in regard to the styles Archon pointed out.

Maybe you should explain what makes you doubt the ENTp typing that has seemingly been working fine up to this point.

That's a good catch. I was actually waiting for him to retort that they're Si ego types, and that makes them more concrete, in addition to being strong in Ne by his system. Then I would have brought up some old posts by some consensus INFps where it could be argued they have a very similar "modular" style.

Not that I even disagree with his particular method, I just think his conclusions are a bit amateurish.

I'm fairly sure of my type according to most of the typing systems I've seen, but it's just a few relevant inconsistencies that I'd rather not completely divulge. Anyway, it's always good to ask others what they see and have some peer-review without complicating things with more information that could be taken either way.

[marooned]

Some people write more clearly than others in general (as in, in a way that most everyone finds clear), some write more formally, some write more openly and freely (as their raw free-flowing thoughts), etc. So those sorts of considerations would factor in as well.

[ArchonAlarion]

If you want to debate this further, start a new thread. Don't derail this one.

Heh? Wth are you talking about?

Didn't you want evidence of you being Ne? I was showing you the difference between Ni and Ne writing...

How am I derailing the thread?

So by this criteria, Tom Ezra and Expat are static types.

No, why? I mean they (imo) value Ne and will therefore not write in the way Strrrng does, but I've found they (online for Ezra and Expat, both online and irl for Tom) write in a way that I'd consider dynamic.

Why wouldn't a personal system have all the qualities you listed?

Personal system or abstraction? I'm saying that his abstractions are subjective, the metaphors he uses are chosen for personal meaning and relevence to the reader and himself. The phrases are overtly symbolic, objects have a special abstract relationship to the observer. His words are universal, they do not apply to a specific physical setting like Si would.

I can usually understand and classify strrrng's concepts, but I don't always agree with him.

Yeah so can I, but they're not meant to be. In the Ni mind you should just see the intrinsic "soul" or "essense" attached to the context and leave it at that. The cutting up of the cloudy Ni into discrete conceptual frames or "nodes" (Ne) will annoy the Ni/Se. Your supposed to just see the symbolism as it is and not try and explain by some physical interaction of molecules. Ni-ers hate it when you steal their magic and explain it away with "science" (I'm speaking in general, simple terms). When you chop up their Ni into Ne bits that will fit with an Si outlook of a physical, direct, tangible (demonstrable) context (setting, environment, realm), instead of a thematic, symbolic, spiritual(?) one, they get pissed.

That's a good catch. I was actually waiting for him to retort that they're Si ego types, and that makes them more concrete, in addition to being strong in Ne by his system. Then I would have brought up some old posts by some consensus INFps where it could be argued they have a very similar "modular" style.

More concrete than Te subs? No. The "concrete-abstract" scale traditionally goes:

Concrete <-----------------> Abstract
Se, Te, Ti, Si, Ne, Fe, Fi, Ni

Imo, Si is the least concrete, concrete element. Its subjective and dynamic, so to me Si is kind of abstract.

Strong in Ne? Well I think they use Ne when perceiving object statics, instead of Se, but I'd say they have a more primitive unrefined version of Ne, then Ne egos.

And INFp's dont have that module style. They take specific concrete objects (Se) and imbue them with subjective abstract meanings/relevence. They do not see the purpose of organizing the conceptual properties that make up an object, they'd rather find symbolic meaning based on the surface qualities of the thing in question.

[ArchonAlarion]

You're derailing the thread because you're trying to convince me you're a certain type in order to draw a subjective similarity between us. Two things 1) this is my type thread, not yours, and 2) I can't waste my time hearing a case as subjective as yours. If you can't level more specific arguments about me without comparing me to you, then I don't really care what you have to say.

That was not my intent, at all, and I can tell you're being obviously antagonistic towards me based on non thread related things.

If you don't see the similarities or differences (which I was only bringing to your attention that I think they're there) then please don't ridicule me as if I'm intentionally derailing the thread for my own attention.

Your only statement in that vein so far was the "module" thing, and it's not even an argument because you've provided no proof, just a statement that my writing satisfies some rather trite and subjective criteria of being "modular."


I'm asking the mods to move sections of this thread to alternative theories btw.

1. You are likely confusing what I'm saying about "module" with the Ti that INFps express.

2. Not to be a dick to anndelise, but her post, which you described as "very insightful" was even less descriptive than mine. Unless you can explain how I'm providing no proof (Did I not give you posts to illustrate the differences?)

And uh, thats an annoying childish ploy btw. Like when all the kids in the school yard pretend its just the wind whenever a certain kid speaks, so the kid ends up breaking down and crying.

What have I said that constitutes it being moved to alternate theories? I've read stranger things about Ne and Ni posted in general, so c'mon man what gives?

Sort of like your Si/Ne analogy, your modular analogy and most other analogies I've heard you make about socionics?



That's true, but what you're describing doesn't directly manifest in writing or behaviour.

According to that, it's still much more concrete than Ni.

Glam and starfall have a modular style, because their posts are clear and mature. Modify your linguistic hypothesis a little better and look for a lot of examples, then come back.

Yeah it is sorta like my analogy, I guess.

Yeah it does manifest in writing. Like how Strrrng carries on a single idea, describing it or elaborating on it with symbolism. Like he even describes himself how he writes from point A to point B just carrying on linearly. The Ne-er describes in short capsulated bits.

If I was to illustrate it it would be like this:

............................=======>
...............=======^
Ni: =====^

Ne: (=) (=) (=) (=) (=) >

And if you have a problem with that, then fine! I claim no expertise in socionics, but don't have undue animosity towards me. What the hell have I done to you?

But yes, I should certainly continue research into linguistic styles.

This part is the most interesting thing you've said so far. It's extremely interesting because it's the alternate possibility to Model A NT/SF/ST/NF clubs. According to that, an ILE has a strong awareness of object dynamics because of Te > Fe, and strong awareness of dynamic fields because of Ni > Si.

Right okay, well I would say an ENTp has primitive, but phillic awareness of Fe and primitive, but phobic awareness of Te.
