for better or worse, it often replaces action. do you ever think something has happened when it has not just because you've rehearsed it so much? today at work, a petty example of this arose. my supervisor asked me if rain guards had been replaced around the house. i answered almost automatically, "yes, the other day." then a few minutes later, it occurred to me that perhaps the rain guards had not been replaced after all and i was confusing the rain guards with some other item that had been replaced. i took a walk around the house and, not surprisingly, the rain guards were old and broken.
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 rent my scenarios from a store. After I have watched them once, I will return my scenarios to the store so that others can replay them.

I don't usually do this, no. I mean, I don't tend to reflect on past situations as much as I focus moreso on the future. I'm not sure what this particular action of replaying scenarios within one's mind reflects in terms of Socionics function values... but I would obviously say it has a lot to do with. However, my creative
seems to be solely in the realm of achieving future goals, etc. Not improving or reenacting what has already happened. I do find that a bit odd, really. People who focus too much on the past, that is.
I can do this along with almost complete sensation at times. It's kinda nice.......
I won't say any more![]()

pretty much the same for me. the majority of my 'replays' (not really a good word since most of the time its about things that have yet to happen) are conversations, though most of the time i can just hear my own voice. I even imagine conversations where I'm talking about my habit of imagining conversations, so it can get a bit recursive.
Mmm yes my experience matches yours. As you say, when time is critical (as it often becomes in some college tests for example) having already played a scenario often at least guarantees that you're not on the wrong path to the solution.
I think though this kind of strategy (for me) works a lot better when I am solving a more tangible problem ex. which path to choose when we're hiking in a place that we don't know well, or how to prepare for the worst possible weather - pehaps because these problems don't have an human component
