Ne and empirical data

[consentingadult]

I was wondering about Ne in ILEs and IEEs: does Ne involve the attitude that (raw) empirical data is discarded once its information has been integrated in the knowledge framework, i.e. easily forgotten?

It's usually backed up somewhere on a floppy disk.

I'm inclined to think so, as it is / that we are actively using rather than, let's say, /. I might be reaching/generalizing, but / leads tend to go off on their established conclusions and back themselves up whenever necessary, but have a stronger grasp on what they believe/think rather than on how or why they think the way they do. It's not to say these types have baseless beliefs, but it might be what they focus on more. I'm not completely sure, but this was my gut reaction.

[Wynch]

I wouldn't say that it should be discarded, but I would say Ne egos find the data secondary to it's usefulness. That is, once it's been analyzed and a conclusion or use has been established, the knowledge of the initial data is less important than moving forward.

All of that said, I don't entirely believe in empiricism. There are very few arenas in the world where empirical data can actually be used empirically.

That's precisely what I meant: not that it should be discarded, but that leading Ne types have no use for it once it has been processed, or have some sort of incapability to keep it in memory, whereas other types (Se/Si???) might retain the data more easily.

Just thought about this a little further and thought of something else. As Ne base types are focussed on a certain degree of discovery, their objective is completed simply by discovering and once they've found an acceptable conclusion they're prepared to move on. This discovery fixation is the foundation of certain IXE stereotypes like rapidly changing interests.

thisis a satisfying answer. I was wondering if it ws just me or something more general.

I wonder if something simiar also applies to Ne-creative types, or Ni-ego types.

Maybe that is more of a TiNe and FiNe because they are Conceptual/Judging types. A black/white thinkers.

NeTi or NeFi are more likely to keep noticing possibilities and trends then they are to settle and move on. A open book thinkers.

Agreed, my kindred always know what to say. Half of the time

I think you've slightly missed what I meant. I did not say that IXEs settle on an idea and are unopen to changing the interpretation of this idea. Rather, that instead of dwelling on a series of noted "facts" they wish to use them. This fixation on use, which in this context I've extrapolated to mean discovery, means that IXEs are less fixated on the data. They have no need to fixate on data because if they've observed the data once they can observe the data again.

In contrast, I've noticed Ni base types (ILI/IEI) have a tendency to fixate on data. Not only are they active data collectors, but they want to have constant access to this pool of concrete variables which they can use to filter through their own perception of possible outcomes.

that's what I mean: where can you get a floppy drive nowdays?

Well, taking this analogy further:

I believe I have a floppy drive, but I don't use it as much. It may have dust on it, but it still exists, so I wouldn't say it's discarded completely. The drive is there, but the disk is somewhere out there "...if I can remember where." Even if I didn't have a drive, I can always find one on eBay and re-install it.

:wink:

Haha, very funny but effective analogy

[consentingadult]

In my observations, IEEs remember very old things, they keep the past alive and talk all the day about it. They also tend to keep things they don't know exactly if they'll be of some use. ILEs, on the other hand, forget very easily, even some things that were important for them at one point (the main goal).

Now, unless I misunderstood your request, ime they behave in the opposite manner, this being related to Ti vs Fi rather.

Yes, I have observed the same phenomena. As to the IEEs memory for old things, I would say that is not the memory of old raw data, but snippets of information presented from the knowledge framework, which is the container of integrated information (note: not integrated data). So what I actually mean by raw empirical data, is sort of sensory data (not necessarily speaking of sensory in Socionics terms). Am I making sense?

Aha, is that how Ne-base types rationalize it!? But true enough, this has always been my motto as well.

The library I work at has external floppy drives that patrons can borrow. The external drive hooks up to a USB port and has a slot to stick a floppy in. We still get a couple of requests for it each day.

I mostly agree with this, I don't like to memorize stuff either. However, there are some things I will take the time to memorize because I don't want to have to look it up everytime.

It's funny how alot of people these days don't memorize their own phone number for example. They have to pop open their cell phone and look it up in the index. I know that you normally don't call yourself but when you have to fill out a form that asks for your phone number or someone asks for it, I think it would be a real pain to have to look it up every time.

I'm old enough to remember the days when most people didn't have cell phones. I remember when I was in elementary school, that we were told to always remember our phone number and never forgot it. Unless you have a major memory impairment, not knowing your own phone number was virtually unheard of.

Ne frequently involves getting the roundabout gist of things. I certainly agree with the basic idea that Einstein presents in the quote. That is what reference material is for. Rote memorization is not necessarily learning, but when you do actually learn, you tend remember better and more.

I was highly amused. I was not sure what was going on when I first read it. I had to read it aloud, and then I realized that I was reciting Seal. I stopped and then laughed for a good two minutes. Good times.
