:Ti:
Analytical.
Using this definition
Analytical - Dividing into elemental parts or basic principles.
This is my "understanding", my observer mode, my childlike mode. In this mode I am a child trying to understand the world.
They use logical reasoning in all matters.
I don't. I mostly don't care how you live for instance.
They try to make information as simple and clear as possible, by cutting out things they consider of lesser importance.
Totally true. I always start with broad concepts, definitions, and slowly wind my way down to a basic principle that can explain it, the most fundamental part.
The problem with this is that they neglect secondary information, which although is of lesser importance, is still nevertheless important.
I'm not sure how valid this claim is. The secondary information I neglect is not important. That's the reason I neglect it. But I could be mistaken and if I am then this statement would be true.
They think about “What is the main thing?”.
For me this should be slightly rephrased, I don't think what is the main thing, I concentrate on expressing the essence of what is before me. In a sense it is concentrating on the main thing but not just analytically.
They are fair in their approach with people.
I try to be. My nature is gentle. Parts regarding my nature are pure coincidence.
They seek to have an ideal systemic order in place on a “big picture” scale, which can be over the top and unrealistic.
Exactly, I strive to have a simple way to express complicated concepts.
For what I have just said for Ti look here for evidence.
The way I described concepts there is the method I use.
If they notice that something is unclear they ask questions to seek clarification, even on subtle details.
This is very true for myself. I was the kid that asked all of those theoretical questions in physics class. I try to build systems that will be absolutely true so when I acquire information I want it rock solid so my understanding will be final so I can build upon it. I don't want my whole understanding crumbling down because I had wrong information.
:Ne:
They are absent-minded daydreamers. They come up with ways of improving things. They are global thinkers, looking at the big picture. Good researchers.
True for myself. But this would be my nature.
:Fi:
They inappropriately use logical reasoning in matters concerning personal relationships.
I'd rather not go into this as this is a personal matter. This matter is independent from the way I treat people. It's difficult to explain, personal relations are a structure while one on one is not.
They do not think about how their words and actions affect people’s feelings.
One thing people say (Including my mother) is that I can really bring a person down. Not in a sarcastic, cruel way, but like in an emotionless, inconsiderate way, the one that makes you depressed. This happens when I detach and start making my observations. "You look like a slut" "You look fat". In this childlike mode I cannot lie.
I am reminded of that time when a dear friend of mine asked me "If you didn't know me, and just met me for the first time, what would I think of me?" and I responded either a kindergarten nurse or a whore. But the thing is that when I'm not in this mode I know when to keep my mouth shut.
Rather than think about these things, to be safe, they are very polite and friendly and are unassertive.
This is my nature. I am polite and friendly because I do not want to hurt your feelings.
They giggle nervously and inappropriately with people they do not know well.
I am quite comfortable around people I don't know well.
They daydream when someone speaks to them, and so they ask questions to keeps up with the conversation.
When people speak of something I find interesting my mind is constantly in tangent mode. For moments I stop listening to them. Usually I daydream and often interrupt conversations with random questions but this would be on topic daydreaming.
They can be over technical in their ethics, which can lead to problems in relationships.
Yeap, but the technicality is a way to rationalize my irrationality which is giving me my arguments.
They are over conscious of people looking at them, because when people look at them they feel people are monitoring their behaviour. They bring up topics of conversation that are inappropriate for the moment.
Like I said, I am overly conscious of looking at people, because when I look at people they might feel like I am monitoring their behaviour and I don't want that. (That is unless I'm in my observer mode, then I look, people say stare, you straight in the eyes and ask "creepy" questions) I feel like bringing up topics of conversation that are inappropriate for the moment but am constantly restraining myself. (Again, unless I'm in observer mode)
:Se:
They are lazy.
I have an ESFj mother. She does everything.
:Fe:
They are emotionally sensitive.
No I'm not. Only disharmony emotionally upsets me.
This can lead them to be tearful on the one hand or happy on the other hand.
I have a firm grip on my emotions.
Emotion is their driving force.
Emotions are tools.
They express their love, in words or actions, to people that matter to them.
I don't have people that matter to me in that way. Yet
:Si:
They are impatient when it comes to eating tasty food - they dislike waiting.
I don't care, it's food. I just want it to taste good
They worry about their health deteriorating because they neglect it.
I neglect my health so naturally I'm worried.
They may put effort into maintaining their health, and go over the top in this regard, but this lasts only for a short time, and then they go back to how they were doing things before.
Exactly. Every so often I start thinking about my health and get really worried and decide to change. I make plans and stuff but always it dies of shortly. I have never been able to stick to a long term plan regarding anything. I just can't plan my future.
They do not give as much attention to their physical appearance as they would like to - they seek long term solutions to their physical appearance.
Thinking about my physical appearance is effort wasted. I'd rater spend it on something more useful and enjoyable like devising a new theory.
They try to find and apply a logical formula to having a good physical appearance.
I try to use minimal effort for maximum payout in maintaining physical appearance. A logical formula is formed if it exists. I guess I got a little carried away here
They do not dress appropriately, for the moment.
I do.
:Te:
They are unproductive.
Very lol.
However, when they are under time pressure they become very efficient.
I know exactly when to do something, how long it will take, how long I can make it take and so on. I can munipulate the time aspect of things
They are very tight in spending money.
Lol, who isn't? I if were rich this wouldn't be valid.
When they spend money, they think of the items long term benefit.
Like the previous statement, if I were rich...
They may also spontaneously spend money on something that reflects their mood, but not without thinking how much money they can afford to dispose of.
But money is also made for spending. I know how much money I can spend, and never go over that margin. That way I can spend and do not have to worry about it. But I do tend to spend such money irrationally
They do not follow a fixed periodic routine because it would dampen their motivation.
True.
:Ni:
They are aware of time frames. With this knowledge, they tend to do things at the last minute, but within time. The quality of their work is poor because they do things rushed at the last minute. They are impatient and impulsive. They makes predictions of the distant future. They refrain from taking actions that they foresee as having disastrous long term consequences - this foresight of disaster is of the worst case scenario if they take a certain course of action, which is highly unlikely to occur, but nevertheless a possibility. They foresee certain actions as having the consequence of a very bright future, which again is highly unlikely to occur, but nevertheless a possibilities - this foresight makes them spring into action.
Ok so maybe I exaggerated in this last sentence. It doesn't make me spring into action. The reason is mentioned in the Fi section.
The rest is true.
When those bright hopes do not materialize, they feel sadness, but that does not make then lose heart and give up on their dreams.
But I always do dream about it happening.
They will think of other ways of achieving their dreams.
True.
They don’t value symbolism.
I do
