    Default Te or Ti?

    Not wanting to give out information that may make someone come to the "wrong" conclusion. E.g. "I'm a certain type and this is why" - *presents a bunch of information that fits perfectly with being that type*. As opposed to the approach of not wanting to unwittingly bias a person towards one opinion or another - presenting everything, related or no.

    I don't think you can dichotomize Te and Ti in that kind of way exactly. Er, I guess just that the situation you describe is too vague so that there could be a lot of reasons either Te or Ti valuers would want to make solid cases or want the other person to be able to do their own mental footwork.

    types might have preconceived notions of what type they are and try to present their case in a way that guides everyone's conclusion to their own... or they might be aware of this tendency and purposely go against it, giving any and all information that may or may not be related, but I think they would still have that preconceived notion.

    or maybe that's everyone, and not just types. I'm not really sure

    Completely unrelated to type. I value Ti strongly and I've used both approaches; I've even convinced people here that I was a different person and unloaded volumes of unadulterated personal information just to see what someone else might think.
    But, for a certainty, back then,
    We loved so many, yet hated so much,
    We hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

    Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
    Whilst our laughter echoed,
    Under cerulean skies...

    To de-vaguerise things.. I meant like someone who feels pretty sure about their type, but insecure about their logic. Maybe they feel unable to explain why exactly. They only present the information that looks to point directly to the type they've chosen, so there's no picking apart of their reasons and whatnot.

    Thanks for replies. (c:

    As you describe it here... the unexplainable conclusion would be an Internal element. LIIs could do this, in which case I figure it would be justifying ... we may deliberately allow for the opposing case (as fear of sleep noted), though, if we aren't for some reason scared of getting a conclusion other than the one that we expect.

    But why would a leading logical type be scared of an opposing theory?

    I think it could be related to either... Intuitively, I would think that the first approach is more in line with Ti, and the second with Te - giving a chain of logic vs. presenting purely factual information, but this doesn't have to be the case. I also believe that there are a lot of misconceptions about what Te and Ti are. (Under some people's conceptions, I appear neither Te nor Ti valuing!)

    Edit: @Rubicon: btw, nice observation! How did you reach the conclusion this depends on Logic and not other IE?
    Cool avatar. How would you type him?

    I'm still thinking about your reply to my other post, but as for the movie, I think this character was also Ti ego (On the right.):

    I also found that character very interesting.

    This is steering towards a goal, I'd say it was Se vs my below comment but I don't think this is accurate. Perhaps this is declaring while the second is asking?

    This side seems more Ne to me, keeping the options open and letting the other party decide. Possibly Ne with Ti.

    I personally give people ALL the information, regardless of whether it will hurt my case (even when I know for certain it WILL, actually).

    Maybe we like to think we understand ourselves. Sometimes small errors in thinking can seem like cracks in a submarine. It's not a healthy behavior, let that be clear.

    I think we both agree that, taking the ideal case - Dual relationships, the Ti convince Fe types directly, but Te (on Fi) does it with a lot of what Ti's find "useless explanations" for the reason of not being misunderstood. Fe's are not even patient to listen all that and take it with skepticism as bullshit or evasion, because it doesn't come from direct ("obvious") causes.
    I agree with you, but my comment was more of an aside; I do think that Rubicon's notions can be related to Te and Ti, and it is not her views on this matter that I dispute.

    I loved him, but I thought LSI. He seemed extremely rational and calculated in his approach. I usually find SLEs to be more unpredictable.

    Btw, what do you say about his play after Hicox showed the sign, up to few seconds after the barman served Scotch. Brilli-brilli-brilliant!! I don't think words can ever explain.
    I was smiling on the inside as soon as he went and sat down with them (), because I could tell right away that if there was anyone in that bar who could see through their charade, it was him.

    - explaining his reasoning to reach the only, without doubt, conclusion: all the consequences result from impersonal causes in the whole situation, unlike their emphasizing their personal involvement (as Beta ST).
    - always giving choice, as long as his clear goal is reached, never trying to "crush" the resistance.
    - he always tries to justify his reasons to the opposition: "what would you do?" or "wouldn't you agree?"
    I have to think about this...

    I'm almost tempted to see this as a or issue depending on context and the provider's agenda.

    If someone close to me was struggling with spirituality, I would try to frame my knowledge and experience in a way that was as comprehensive and unbiased as possible, regardless of my personal views.

    If I'm in a debate with some religious jackass, I'm going to be selective in what information I bring to the table. And, if such an exchange is public, I'm going to try to effect a certain mood that hurts my opponent's position.

    Not wanting to give out information that may make someone come to the "wrong" conclusion.
    Typical Accepting Ti (INTj, ISTj) behavior, imo.

    Our set of typical behaviors could very well be summed up in a line that reads very much like the one quoted.

    One example could be inciting an 'us vs them' mentality in the audience. Another could be shaming the audience into disagreeing with my opponent.

    Tricky things to effect, but possible.

    Do you think Accepting Te has this characteristic?
