Carl Jung on Introverted Sensing Si

[Jarno]

The Ni description does not mention time, only the Si description.

Well in his book Tavistock Lectures he calls intuition 'Time'.

And if I remember it correctly he mentions Time for Ni in his book psychological types at least once. (yes I agree it's not much)

But then again, time isn't that a great definition for Ni. Future is a better word etc.

Though I agree that Jung has some other akward ideas about Ni. But whatever, he uses dichotomies so he gets at the right type anyways.

I was thinking Jung's Si description was interesting... I haven't finalized my thoughts on the matter. But in any case, I do think it's important to consider whether Jung's Si and Socionics Si are the same thing; and if they overlap, to what degree? To simply say "Si is this" and post a Jung description is not a critical evaluation of the matter. And had you switched it to being "Ni" I think people would have recognized the source anyway (I hope anyway) and so it wouldn't have worked. The main question is why are you so insistent that Jungian-defined functions = Socionics IM precisely, or are you? I need to look into it more and that's why I'm not giving an opinion, because I'm being lazy, but my suspicion so far is that there is some overlap. I also have been thinking about Ni pertaining to time for a while, and haven't finalized my thoughts on this either.

well the si description has a lot in common with ni since ni is always matching things to unconscious meanings.
