    Default Pattern recognition

    I know an SLE (pretty sure that's his type) who is very good at pattern recognition. Not only literally recognizing visual patterns but also seeing how something will turn out based on having seen it before. Projecting into the future, if you will. He may be dualized, I dunno for sure. He seems well-rounded and healthy.

    So is pattern recognition Ni? Or Se? I think it's Se.

    It's pretty typical of SLEs, because they of all types (in Filatova's words) are the best at assessing/calculating/observing and interpreting situations to "predict" future outcomes. That's why we often say we have good intuition, but it's not real intuition.

    IEIs don't predict based on the past/present. They get these intangible "aha!" moments where things connect. Kirsten described it well - she said it's like you know the cogs are moving in your head, but you don't know what's being produced until it comes almost out of the blue.

    Yeah with SLE's i feel its pure intellectualization. This means this because of that, that, and that.

    As an IEI, i don't even really know what i mean exactly until i say it out loud and put it into words. In my head, they're impressions. "Nah that wont work" or "Oh, you're onto something". I think normally uses deductions from observable stimuli, and in their head they are quite aware of what words fit their current thought process.

    Meh. I don't even try to recognize patterns; I focus on the world through a sort of Sun Tzu-like mentality. Rules, codes, protocols, etc. Any kind of spacey Ni functionality is limited to either melancholic self-indulgence or a kind of laser beam into the root causes of phenomena.

    It is also possible that I do recognize patterns but am not aware of it.

    Anyway, it sounds like something an SLE would be good at, I guess. SLEs and LIEs, probably.

    this is way too general. every function engages in pattern recognition on some ontological plane. all that differs is the emphasis and the bias.

    also, sorry to break it to you all, but Se is not an all purpose superman function that gives you both kick-ass willpower, the ability to control a situation better than any other function AND mysterious general purpose powers of intellectual recognition. socionics doesn't work that way.

    here's a little pattern that i'm recognizing in this thread:
    INFp Poster: "there's this neat intractable skill subjectively recognizable skill that is uniquely featured by MY DUAL"
    Gamma Poster: "no, it's MY QUADRA and yours that does this best"
    ESTp Poster: "hell yeah, MY TYPE is great at this"
    etc.

    I was doing orientation with an older SLE (I believe he was 38?) and was amazed at his ability to quickly grasp things. He drew the connections right away such that I didn't have to explain everything step-by-step and reiterate anything for him. Made me wonder if this was a product of his DS-Ni, or general intelligence, or may be he was just bluffing a bit that he understood everything.

    to the contrary this is quite specific, we're not talking about every function but Ni and Se here

    "pattern recognition" is about as general as any description of a mental skill can get.

    Go away. I mean that as politely as possible.

    And oh yeah, I do recognize patterns. My masterful grasp of economics involves intricate pattern recognition.

    believe me, i don't need the encouragement.

    like i said: every function engages in pattern recognition on some ontological plane. all that differs is the emphasis and the bias.

    I just assumed she was talking about the specific task of recognizing patterns within a matrix of shapes.
