Introverted and Extroverted IM processing
I kind of feel like this is a certain caliber of the benchmark Introverted element and benchmark Extroverted element's information processing mentality (a bit drawn out in difficulty). Because people have both types of IMs in their ego, these examples will seem kind of extreme, redundant. I'm not even all that sure of what I'm writing here, but I figured I'd just get it out there for people to gander at...
Introverted - Skeptical
Introverted elements don't accept a lot of ideas or information. They're more personalized, and they filter out excess information more, due to the fact that each idea takes a lot of depth to understand, or to get just right. It's the idea that one forms the generalization in their mind, and a piece of information only sparks the thought. So the process might look kind of like this:
(red and green marks the truth, which is debatable)
that's obviously just wrong - right
that's not it - wrong
i'm certain its not this - right
i can see this working - wrong
could very well be it then, - wrong
because i doubt its the other thing - right
maybe i'm wrong - right
maybe it really is that - wrong
it wasn't the second thing i thought of -wrong
it certainly wasn't the third thing - right
then maybe it was that second thing - right
bingo
skill taught: being more open, taking some initiative on thoughts, and gaining a clearer perception
Extroverted - Experiential
Extroverted elements accept things due to the thought that they can be tested out and reformed, and gaining sufficient information will help one to understand what works. It's the idea that all the information together forms the generalization, and one has to weigh the information out to grasp the thought. So the process might look kind of like this:
(red and green marks the truth, which is debatable)
this is it - wrong
ok thats not it
then this is it - wrong
no not even
this could still be it, just need to try again - wrong
no, still doesn't work
how about this? - wrong
wow, won't go through that again
i have a hunch this is it - wrong
yep, i'm almost certain - wrong
oh wait, that just doesn't work - right
eh, what could it be? i've tried everything
well, i haven't tried this - right
bingo
skill taught: thinking through things, being a little more patient, and learning from one's mistakes
Although, these are benchmarks. We're a bit of both, right. Because we have both introverted and extroverted functions in our ego.
