    That's interesting because I feel the same way about .

    It's fascinating, but I feel like I can't quite wrap my mind around the concept.

    I often find myself thinking what is is or what is is .

    Actually the same thing happens for and , but not quite as much.

    i actually agreed with something that mikemex posted about Ne a while ago, that it's taking characteristics from objects and moving them around, something that Se won't do.

    I think I have a better idea of Ni than before, but considering it's been fuzzy for the entire time i've been at this forum, i don't know if that says much. Te also to some extent but more because i can't find a perfect definition for it, but I think I can recognize Te in real life.

    ARRRGGGHHH! I hate to harp on semantics, but "functions" are the places in the the psyche in which elements sit, e.g. base, role, suggestive, etc. Ne, Fe, Se, Te, Ni, Si, Ti, and Fi are "elements" or "aspects". This is an important distinction because information is different from behavior. For example, Se is not "aggression", but a base function of Se is often expressed as aggression. Oh well. I'm probably just being a douche about this.

    Anywho, I don't understand very well. This is not aided by the supposed difficulty Ni-types have in explaining things.

    Yeah you are, socionics terminology is not set in stone, it's not mathematics, there is no central authority on the matter

    Anyway I think I don't understand Fi and Si particularly well

    i think i ask niffweed the most questions about Si and Se, so I'll say those.
    whenever the dog and i see each other we both stop where we are. we regard each other with a mixture of sadness and suspicion and then we feign indifference.

    I'm not really sure which function I least understand, since I'm slowly learning things about each of them all the time...I dunno, I suppose is a good candidate.

    Hey esper, did you delete a lot of your post? I thought I saw some huge floating around here earlier. Way more methodical than I get about these things anyway. Didn't read it all, but what I did was pretty fascinating.
