10 Signs: What kind of intuitive are you?

[Aylen]

Theoretically, intuitives will relate to parts of both but I think there are some key questions that really help to distinguish in these articles.

10 Signs That You Might Be An Extraverted Intuitive

#1 – I Am Driven by Possibility

I see the world around me and constantly ask myself “what possibility does this hold?”, “what new things could I do with this?”, “how does this bit of information connect with something else?”. I am always focused on what could be, on evolution, and transformation.

#2 – I Like Change and Challenges

Routine and structure bores me. I get a thrill from taking risks, making mistakes, learning new things, and daring new possibilities to come forth and be realized.

#3 – I Get So Caught Up in the Future That I Can Forget the Present

My mind is always so focused on potential possibilities and theoretical outcomes that I can lose sight of what’s happening right now. This means that sometimes I can forget to eat or sleep or take care of my daily needs.

#4 – In My Mind, Everything is Connected

Like an elaborate spiderweb I see connections and links all around me. I feel as if I’m “zoomed out” of the current moment analyzing everything from a precipice in space and seeing how it all fits together. When one piece shifts the whole web or picture changes and I see thousands of new connections.

#5 – Brainstorming with People Invigorates Me

Being with others and generating new possibilities and ideas makes me feel so connected and inspired! I love being able to excite and challenge other people with all the possibilities and new, innovative ideas that we can develop.

#6 – The Conventional Approach Holds No Interest to Me

Tried-and-true methods and “dependable” rules bug me. I am more interested in a new, innovative, and novel solution that could be better than what’s been done before.

#7 – I Am Drawn to the Theoretical More Than the Tangible

I am more focused on generating abstract or theoretical possibilities than I am on engaging with the sensory, physical world. My mind is a veritable playground of ideas and theories and I can get so lost in my thoughts that if I’m an extrovert (ENP type) sometimes I come across as more introverted.

#8 – Narrowing Down My Possibilities Can Be Stressful

I like generating ideas and possibilities more than settling on one. It’s hard for me to leave out other possibilities and options that have potential or seem inspiring and interesting. This can make me seem indecisive at times.

#9 – When I Look Around Me I See Potential Everywhere

If I see a tree I imagine a treehouse being built in it, or my children or grandchildren climbing it. I imagine the tree being cut down and what that would mean for the environment. I start thinking about the environment and the rainforest and the impact it has on all our lives, and then I start thinking of ways to protect the rainforest and I wonder whether I should plant a tree in my yard. Then I wonder what kind of tree I should plant…and the thoughts and ideas keep coming.

#10 – I Am Open-Minded

Because I see so many angles and different perspectives to any conclusion I can easily understand why other people have varying opinions and beliefs. I try not to push my own ideas and opinions onto other people, but it does bother me when other types are stubborn and jump to conclusions too quickly.

10 Signs That You Might Be an Introverted Intuitive

#1 – I Am Driven By My Inspiration

Inspiration is what leads me. I have a certain sense of “knowing” and a vision for the future that drives my every step and energizes me. Sometimes my inspirations come out of nowhere and I have a hard time explaining them to other people.

#2 – The More Abstract the Conversation, the More I Enjoy It

I thrive on understanding complex processes and philosophies. The more obscure, abstract, and theoretical the conversation, the more I’m energized and excited by it.

#3 – I Am Individualistic and Independent

The new and unexplored is always more interesting to me than the tried-and-true. I regard authority with skepticism and like to decide for myself whether rules should be followed. I dislike constraints, repetition, and routine.

#4 – I Want To Know What’s “Behind the Facade”

I don’t trust first impressions or things said at face-value. I believe that there are layers of meaning to everything and my goal is to get to the deepest and most innermost layer.

#5 – I Need Time to “Daydream”

I need to know how new information fits in with the entire universe. My mind needs time to imagine and tinker with ideas and theories. I especially enjoy it if I can remove myself from all outside stimulation when this happens. Because most of my insights appear “out of the blue” and aren’t stimulated by things in the environment, being alone in a quiet, dark place allows my mind freedom. This is the time I can synthesize information unconsciously, and this is usually when I get my deepest insights and “aha!” moments.

#6 – I Trust the Unconscious World

To me unconscious images and symbolic dreams are just as relevant as tangible images and data. What I gather from my five senses is important, but mainly in how it gives me clues about the future, the universe, and the meaning of all things.

#7 – I Get Lost In Meanings

Instead of noticing the concrete details of the world around me, I notice everything’s symbolic meaning and significance. If I see a tree I think about its past, present, and future, it’s contributions to our world, it’s symbolic meaning as a life force. I think about the state of the environment and where this tree will be in 100 or 1000 years.

#8 – I Love Strategizing

My vision guides my strategic planning and I enter a “zone” like state when I can think about the future and how to reach a particular goal or vision. Strategy games can be very stimulating for me.

#9 – My Perceptions Are Hard to Explain in Words

Because a lot of my intuitions and insights come from the unconscious and inner world I can struggle with “bringing them out” into the open. When I try to explain I can suddenly become rambling, halting, or so focused on meaning and metaphor that it confuses people. This can be very frustrating for me.

#10 – I Long to Ask “Why”

I am driven to understand the “why’s” of the universe and how everything fits together. I long to ask deep and penetrating questions but I’ve learned through experience that many people feel uncomfortable when conversation gets into very complex, abstract, or uncharted territory.

Relate or Don’t Relate?

A lot of people who have tested as NJ types find that they don’t really relate to these points and that’s because most of the online tests out there are mistyping people. If you truly don’t relate to these types but still consider yourself an intuitive, then a good book like Psychological Types (The Collected Works of C. G. Jung, Vol. 6) (Bollingen Series XX) or Building Blocks of Personality Type: A Guide to Discovering the Hidden Secrets of the Personality Type Code can be very helpful. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments!

You back to ILI? lol

You know there is nothing really new written in those lists that aren't in the socionics descriptions of types. Is that why you considered ILI to begin with? I am being serious.

Edit: I see you were typed Alpha NT. NVM. SEE makes sense for you in my mind.

I actually relate mostly to Ni descriptions, the introversion influence must be strong in me, that or I'm not Ne ego in the first place.

[Aylen]

that's 1d interpretation of intuition if I ever saw it

Please feel free to write your own. I would love to read your thoughts on the differences.

or use socionics. They are totally 10D. They got the biggest D.

Introverted intuition is an introverted, irrational, and dynamic information element. It is also called Ni, T, temporal intuition, or white intuition. Ni is generally associated with the ability to recognize the unfolding of processes over time (how one event leads to another), have visions of the past and future, develop mental imagery, and see intangible hints of relationships between processes or objects. Types that value Ni always like to have in mind a specific plan for how their life will develop in the future. Thus they have little time for the concept of "living for the moment" or "making the best of the present". They generally engage in pure leisure activities only for short periods of time, and even then their leisure activities generally involve a psychologically demanding or competitive aspect.


Ni as Leading Function

As a base function, Ni generally manifests itself through a lack of direct attention to the world around oneself, and a sense of detachment or freedom from worldly affairs. This can lead to a highly developed imagination and very unique mental world, but it can also result in a great deal of laziness and apparent inactivity. Because the individual gets his or her primary information about the world through imagination, a person with leading Ni may be able to thrive in situations where data are scarce, or where he or she lacks the usual prerequisite experience. However, this may also become a disadvantage if the person ignores real data about the world too much. The ability to transcend the axis of time and understand the cause and effect relationships that occur is also a feature, sometimes resulting in the ability to accurately predict general future trends and outcomes of certain events.

Ni as Creative Function

The individual likes to predict the further development of the situations and topics that he is interested in. The individual applies his highly developed sense of vision not as an end in itself, but as a way of promoting the development of his more central interests and activities.

Introduction to

Extroverted intuition is an extroverted, irrational, and static information element. It is also called Ne, I, intuition of possibilities, or black intuition.Ne is generally associated with the ability to recognize possibilities, create new opportunities and new beginnings, recognize talent and natural propensities in others, reconcile differing perspectives and viewpoints, rapidly generate ideas, and be led by one's intellectual curiosity and stimulate curiosity in others.Types that value Ne prefer to try out an opportunity rather than consider all possible ways in which it could not work out. They pick a few options and stick with them, in contrast to introverted intuition (Ni) types who pick one option and continue to doubt that option. They enjoy discussing unusual insights into the nature of the world and crazy out-there ideas, like space elevators. Typical Ne quadra humor juxtaposes seemingly unrelated phenomena.

Ne as Leading Function

The individual is skilled at generating intellectual interest and curiosity in others and using others' curiosity to get them to do things. He easily sees parallels between different situations, areas of knowledge or skill, and people, and likes to establish contacts across different fields of knowledge and social groups, which allows him to be part of many things at once. He enjoys considering differing viewpoints and perspectives and seeing if they can be reconciled. He enjoys the beginning stages of just about anything - new projects, acquiring new skills, experiencing new people and relationships. Preparing for and launching something new is seen as having greater value than the process of experiencing what one already has and finishing what one has begun. The concept of "finishing" seems foreign to him. Instead of taking care to finish things and tie up all loose ends, he tends to drop things when he can't handle them any longer or realize that he has neglected them for too long (this might be equally related to suggestive introverted sensing).

Ne as Creative Function

The individual likes to apply his insight to specific situations, relating them to the bigger picture. He also enjoys discussing idealized circumstances or what could be rather than what is. Consequently, he usually has high standards, even unreasonably so, for those around him. He does not pursue ideas or new opportunities merely for their own sake, but for their application to specific questions and issues that he feels are important.

Seriously, most people have not read Jung but if they would like to here is a copy of the book. It took me some time to get through it but I am glad I did. https://archive.org/details/Vol06PsychologicalTypes

I would love to see some other definitions to help those trying to decide. I am not trying to decide but some here still are and the descriptions given by most socionics sites in English are not helpful to them since they describe behavior more than the functions.

[Skepsis]

I think there is an invisible door between those two intuition doors, which allows passage into both worlds.

I think there is an invisible door between those two intuition doors, which allows passage into both worlds.

“We live together, we act on, and react to, one another; but always and in all circumstances we are by ourselves. The martyrs go hand in hand into the arena; they are crucified alone. Embraced, the lovers desperately try to fuse their insulated ecstasies into a single self-transcendence; in vain. By its very nature every embodied spirit is doomed to suffer and enjoy in solitude. Sensations, feelings, insights, fancies - all these are private and, except through symbols and at second hand, incommunicable. We can pool information about experiences, but never the experiences themselves. From family to nation, every human group is a society of island universes. Most island universes are sufficiently like one another to Permit of inferential understanding or even of mutual empathy or "feeling into." Thus, remembering our own bereavements and humiliations, we can condole with others in analogous circumstances, can put ourselves (always, of course, in a slightly Pickwickian sense) in their places. But in certain cases communication between universes is incomplete or even nonexistent. The mind is its own place, and the Places inhabited by the insane and the exceptionally gifted are so different from the places where ordinary men and women live, that there is little or no common ground of memory to serve as a basis for understanding or fellow feeling. Words are uttered, but fail to enlighten. The things and events to which the symbols refer belong to mutually exclusive realms of experience.”
― Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception & Heaven and Hell

Quote always reminds me of an "epiphany" I had once. It is kind of sad.

If you don't mind me asking, what was the "epiphany"?

[Aylen]

If you don't mind me asking, what was the "epiphany"?

I will pm you.

[Sanguine Miasma]

Socionics definition makes me to go bit between. Well, I have always interested in interdisciplinary stuff. It has been hard to just pick something. I just always wanted to go further and further and never stop. Anchoring my mind has been quite hard. In fact graduation was depressing moment in my life it started when there was end in sight. The next step was to be productive with knowledge and I didn't like it but I tried it on purpose. So the next step was hard and actually I diverged soon back to interesting stuff. When it ended it was also hard but at least I had some sort of goal where to go and do stuff my way.

[Pallas]

Neither. I'm the 17th type or something

[nyessss]

Theres a bit more than 17 types my dude...

I think you value it.

Here are some questions to ask yourself. You can post them here too if you want.

What kinds of things inspire you? People, places, things, ideas... What have you done with that inspiration if anything? Did you write or create something very important to you? Or maybe did you get out of your comfort zone and do something new that you would have not done left to your own devices? Just think of examples of what inspiration has done for you. It could be anything.

How do you go about getting to what is behind the facade?

What kinds of things do you daydream about? How are they important to you? How does fantasizing help you make sense of the world?

What kind of meaning have you found in conspiracy theories? How has it changed you and your worldview? Do you reject more of them than you accept? If so why?

Other than games what is an example of you using strategy to shift a situation in your favor? How does this happen in your mind? Can you give a general idea of what takes place in your head at the time?

What is your perception of the unconscious? Just a general idea of what that means to you, or what it looks like symbolically in your mind will do but you can explain more if you want. This takes care of two of you check marks.

Think back to your earliest childhood memory, your teens and right this moment. Take your time... Name one thing in each time period that you longed to know the "whys?" of and what did you do to find your answers? If you found them how did it feel? Were you inspired, completely changed, disillusioned, etc...

Are you ok with letting things be until the time is right or do you get overly impatient and push for things? If you push do some people respond well to it? Do others get put off? Has it caused you any problem? How do you know when the time is right for you to make a move? What does that feel like to you? Is your move usually mental, physical or emotional? Is it more in the moment of clarity or do you spend more time working out a detailed strategy?

Heh I know this is a lot but they are just some things you could ask yourself to work out if you are Ni ego or just value it in yourself or from others. It doesn't even have to be these questions. They are just starting points for introspection.

I am not awake yet so these could have probably been written better. I just went with a stream of thought based on the questions you checked.

I thought it was part of super MBTI user package.

[Aylen]

(boosted) Ni Seeking problems. xp

My first thought was Ni suggestive too which was based on her posts since joining and the way she answered this. Maybe this will clarify Ni suggestive, Ne role and ep temperament for her or maybe she will totally surprise me with her response and I will have to adjust my worldview.

Omg, "introverted intuitives" are so awesome and superior, rather unlike those boring and simple-minded sensors...

/MBTI bias-related bullshit

[Kiba]

Someone should post the same thing for Si vs Se!

Here, but I think its biased according mbti theory (Si and Se are not the same in both theories, they are mixed up). A bunch of things that appear in the list of Si are mere sensing, rational and even logical traits. Then, the same mistake of considering that Si=good memory or past, when Jung just said that Si perceive reality through impressions as if it were seeing the past, present and future of an object at once like a consciensce of thousands of years would do. Then, I even think Jung was 4DNi and Se valuer and his descriptions of Si were done in Ni language (his interpretation more than reality), therefore kinda far from real/experiential Si.

What Is Extraverted Sensing?
Extraverted sensing is a perceiving (information-gathering) function that focuses on real-world tangible data. Se-users focus on the objective, sensory world and are eager to experience it fully. They are highly in-tuned with their senses and the world around them and get energy from interacting directly with objects, people, and situations in their environment.
10 Signs That You Might Be An Extraverted Sensor
#1 – I Enjoy Living in the “Now”
I know how to make the most of the moment and use the resources currently at my disposal. I try to avoid fretting over the past or future because it causes me to miss out on current enjoyments and possibilities. Because I’m so focused on what’s happening around me I’m quick to notice opportunities that others miss.
#2 – I’m The Ultimate Realist
I see things for what they are without embellishing them with my own impressions and judgments. I pride myself on being down-to-earth and practical.
#3 – I See Things Others Miss…All the Time
I’m extremely attuned to what’s happening around me and focus in on the details in an effort to see opportunities and experiences. I feel like many other people have their head in the clouds while I’m focusing on what’s really happening now.
#4 – I’m Open-Minded
I think everyone should be free to have their own unique lifestyle and make their own decisions. I don’t feel like imposing my worldview on others or making them subscribe to my experience or opinion unless it’s something that relates to a deeply-held value.

#5 – I Learn Through Experience and Hands-On Application
I like to get my hands on something and really experience and handle it in order to understand it. Written instructions bore me because I prefer to “do” to learn. I tend to be a kinesthetic or visual learner.
#6 – Actions Speak Louder Than Words
I’ll show you I care by doing something for you or making you laugh or smile. Talk is cheap, and even if I enjoy socializing, I’m more likely to want to really engage with you and the world around us than just talkabout the world around us.
#7 – I Thrive On Risk
I was the kid that jumped into the deep end of the pool without thinking or learned really early how to ride a bike. I am stimulated by physical challenges and impulse and am usually highly aware of my body when I take a physical risk.
#8 – I’m a Free-Spirit
I hate being tied down to a commitment that can’t be changed. It takes me longer than some other people to decide on a career, a life path, or a relationship. I like to keep my options open and know that I can explore new avenues and experiences as they arise. This doesn’t mean I’m incapable of loyalty. When I really dedicate myself to a friend or loved one I can be extremely steadfast and dependable.
#9 – If You Love Me, Don’t Micro-Manage or Control Me
I believe in “living and letting live”. If I don’t tell you how to live every moment of your life, I’d prefer it if you didn’t do it to me.
#10 – I Fully Immerse Myself in the Sensations Around Me
The world is full of beautiful and incredible details, experiences, nuances, and pleasures. When I’m outside I notice the coolness of the breeze, the smell of the flowers and trees, the sounds of dogs barking, crickets chirping, cars in the distance. I love immersing myself in my senses and absorbing every little texture and feeling in the world around me. I love tactile experiences, new foods, textures, thrills, sights and sounds. I love concerts and recreation and movies and adventures.

10 Signs That You Might Be an Introverted Sensing Personality Type
*
#1 – I Compare and Contrast A Lot
I easily notice inconsistencies and changes in the environment and with the people I care about. I can tell when a current experience doesn’t line up with what I know from the past. I can tell when someone’s behavior and attitude is changing. I notice how new things are similar or different from things I’ve experienced before. I think about the impact of changes a lot.
#2 – I Enjoy Recalling and Reliving Favorite Past Experiences
When I remember a favorite experience in my past I can instantly recall how I felt then, and many of the significant details of that experience. I like having photos to look at and home videos to remind me of just how special that experience was to me, but I know they can never amount to the stored images I have in my mind. I enjoy reminiscing and have a certain sense of nostalgia.
#3 – I Like Having a Routine and Structure To My Day
Knowing what to expect and having a familiar routine and schedule makes me feel relaxed and at ease in my life. I enjoy having my coffee at a certain time, and doing my shopping on a certain day at a certain place.
#4 – I Learn Quickly From My Mistakes
I rarely repeat the same mistakes because I learn a lot through personal experience and make a mental note not to repeat the same pattern again.
#5 – I Remember Significant People and Moments in Vivid Detail
I can remember what clothes I wore on my 5th birthday or the smell of autumn in the air. I can remember the favorite perfumes of my best friends or every detail about my first computer. I don’t remember the details ofeverything perfectly, but of the things that were personally significant to me.
#6 – I Quickly Notice When Something Is Out Of Place
If I go into a building or room I can usually tell pretty quickly if something has changed or been re-arranged. I notice improvements and upgrades very quickly.
#7 – I Like to Do Things In a Systematic Order
I like sequential instructions and going from A to B to C and thoroughly ensuring a project is done well. I am very painstaking and careful in my work.
#8 – I Trust Facts Over Inspiration
I like clear, concise facts and am skeptical of abstract, unproven methods and ideas. I am very practical and people tend to call me down-to-earth. I enjoy using tried-and-true methods in my work.
#9 – I Want My Conversation to Have a Real-World Application
I can enjoy discussing philosophies and theoretical possibilities, but eventually I want to discuss things that really apply to my life now. I like having a plan and planning. I like making a tangible difference in the world around me and if a conversation doesn’t have a practical purpose I can get bored or restless. I’d rather talk about projects, activities, and goals than inspirations and theories.
#10 – I Have A Good Sense of Humor – But I Don’t Always Share It
On the outside I can seem serious, but on the inside I enjoy noticing a lot of details and relationships and impressions that other people don’t. I see humor in a lot of everyday experiences that pass other people by. When I do know someone well, it can surprise them that I have a very offbeat, unpredictable, and sometimes irreverent sense of humor.

10 Signs That You Might Be an Introverted Intuitive

#1 – I Am Driven By My Inspiration

Inspiration is what leads me. I have a certain sense of “knowing” and a vision for the future that drives my every step and energizes me. Sometimes my inspirations come out of nowhere and I have a hard time explaining them to other people.

I do love me some inspiration and it's certainly core to the way I think. I don't find it typically difficult to explain my thoughts, though. Occasionally I'll hit a snag but all it is is just finding the right words for things.

#2 – The More Abstract the Conversation, the More I Enjoy It

I thrive on understanding complex processes and philosophies. The more obscure, abstract, and theoretical the conversation, the more I’m energized and excited by it.

I do enjoy talking about theoretical systems, metatexual stuff, that sort of thing, yeah.

#3 – I Am Individualistic and Independent

The new and unexplored is always more interesting to me than the tried-and-true. I regard authority with skepticism and like to decide for myself whether rules should be followed. I dislike constraints, repetition, and routine.

Ha! I'm an enneagram phobic 6 and Sx-last. I cherish routine, stability, and things making sense. This kind of language is how I somehow typed at ISTJ when I learned about MBTI.

#4 – I Want To Know What’s “Behind the Facade”

I don’t trust first impressions or things said at face-value. I believe that there are layers of meaning to everything and my goal is to get to the deepest and most innermost layer.

First impressions can be plenty valid, sometimes the hidden meaning is essentially tantamount to the displayed meaning. It's not lies inside of riddles inside of enigmas. Nevertheless, second sentence is very true for me.

#5 – I Need Time to “Daydream”

I need to know how new information fits in with the entire universe. My mind needs time to imagine and tinker with ideas and theories. I especially enjoy it if I can remove myself from all outside stimulation when this happens. Because most of my insights appear “out of the blue” and aren’t stimulated by things in the environment, being alone in a quiet, dark place allows my mind freedom. This is the time I can synthesize information unconsciously, and this is usually when I get my deepest insights and “aha!” moments.

Yes.

#6 – I Trust the Unconscious World

To me unconscious images and symbolic dreams are just as relevant as tangible images and data. What I gather from my five senses is important, but mainly in how it gives me clues about the future, the universe, and the meaning of all things.

No. "Symbolic dreams" are not anywhere near as accurate as tangible images and data. As for unconscious images, you have to source them mentally and evaluate them to determine where you got them from. The future, sure, very good stuff that I think about a lot. The universe? The meaning of all things? That's some philosophical stuff. I don't spend all day being philosophical, I have other aspects of my life other than my personal philosophy to worry about.

#7 – I Get Lost In Meanings

Instead of noticing the concrete details of the world around me, I notice everything’s symbolic meaning and significance. If I see a tree I think about its past, present, and future, it’s contributions to our world, it’s symbolic meaning as a life force. I think about the state of the environment and where this tree will be in 100 or 1000 years.

Speaking Ni here, the "meaning" of something is fairly concrete information to me, as it is backed up by concrete information that I absorb about the world. I can justify my thoughts. As for the tree thing... what? I might think about one or two of those things as an idle thought when I look at a tree. If I look at the tree for a long time, more such thoughts may come up. On the other hand, if I'm in a parking lot on a hot summer day, that tree's "symbolic significance" is being a nice source of shade.

#8 – I Love Strategizing

My vision guides my strategic planning and I enter a “zone” like state when I can think about the future and how to reach a particular goal or vision. Strategy games can be very stimulating for me.

Sure, yeah, for the first. As for the second... ask an ILI. Strategy games usually involve a level of that makes optimization and tactical decisions difficult to grok for me. I'm happier playing a character in a roleplaying game.

#9 – My Perceptions Are Hard to Explain in Words

Because a lot of my intuitions and insights come from the unconscious and inner world I can struggle with “bringing them out” into the open. When I try to explain I can suddenly become rambling, halting, or so focused on meaning and metaphor that it confuses people. This can be very frustrating for me.

Intuition-as-incomprehensible strikes me as an assumption that types with weak intuition make. Metaphors, yes. I do use metaphors extensively. Occasionally they miss the mark but usually I can read a crowd to determine the proper comparisons.

#10 – I Long to Ask “Why”

I am driven to understand the “why’s” of the universe and how everything fits together. I long to ask deep and penetrating questions but I’ve learned through experience that many people feel uncomfortable when conversation gets into very complex, abstract, or uncharted territory.

True enough. I tend to be like a little kid: "But why?".

A lot of people who have tested as NJ types find that they don’t really relate to these points and that’s because most of the online tests out there are mistyping people.

wow shade lol

[Stellafera]

Actually, I don't necessarily think the stuff about the tree being "philosophical" bothered me but rather that it was so... high-minded. I'm a lot more self-centered than that usually. I'm going to look at trees and think about how being outdoors is invigorating, or that I like watching squirrels run up the trees, and so on.

[idontgiveaf]

Yes you are

I'm iei???

@Aylen

What do you think of my answers?

What kinds of things inspire you?
>>People = good rare people
>>places = nature ,
>>things = handmades i guess
>>ideas = eye opening ideas that makes me think

What have you done with that inspiration if anything?
>> it keeps me going.. It gives me an idea on what to do with my life; what i really want

Did you write or create something very important to you?
>>i write diaries.. But not anymore these days.. Busy at work. Yes i usually write my thoughts that are important

Or maybe did you get out of your comfort zone and do something new that you would have not done left to your own devices?
>>yes i always tries to do this. Get out of my comfort zone. I feel good and amazing, fearless whenever i do this.


Just think of examples of what inspiration has done for you. It could be anything.
>>like, you have one life to live... Everyone's following the same path, create your own... An empty road is not anymore empty because I'm there.. Live life to the fullest. Choose the things that will make you happy. Do things today that your future self will thank you. Don't settle for something less (if you can do something about it)
Better to try something than never have tried anything at all. You'll never know the answer if you won't ask. Just do it (if it has benefits).. Stop pleasing people because they're stupid.


How do you go about getting to what is behind the facade?
>>well benefits. Being too genuine is not good. Based on experience. Sometimes you have to fake it(in a good way, without manipulations) in order to make it

What kinds of things do you daydream about?
>>what could happen. I sometimes daydream past events thats happened in my life and analyze the impact of that in the present

How are they important to you?
>>Not important, just past time. Or default mode.

How does fantasizing help you make sense of the world?
>>probably it gives me an idea of what i want and what i should do. Make your dreams come true. It's hard but try.. Get the fuck out of your comfort zone even if it's uncomfortable because you'll learn something by acting.


What kind of meaning have you found in conspiracy theories?
>>well i believe on some conspiracy theories.. The make sense once which have huge impact on our lives today. It gives me idea of how the world works and operates

How has it changed you and your worldview?
>>it opens my eyes. Makes me not naive. It's better to know something than be naive about it. I'm not very ignorant. It's okay to have awareness

Do you reject more of them than you accept? If so why?
>>i just accept.. But i also opens my eyes to the possibility it's not real..just knowing it gives me awareness. That's all.

Other than games what is an example of you using strategy to shift a situation in your favor?
>>i psychoanalyze people. Like i am aware why people do this.. So i act in a certain way that will.make people change their attitude on me.. Or something like that

How does this happen in your mind?
>>hmm. I'm just aware. I see it. And i think about it. I love thinking actually. Of why's

Can you give a general idea of what takes place in your head at the time?
>>hmm.. Like i analyze why this people behaves differently.. And i knoe.. Because of the experience i had.. I rely my conclusion based on my experience

What is your perception of the unconscious?
>>hmmm.. Just probably existing inside your head. It's important in order to make a difference


Think back to your earliest childhood memory, your teens and right this moment. Take your time... Name one thing in each time period that you longed to know the "whys?" of and what did you do to find your answers?
>>When i was probably like 7years old.. I'm already asking why my parents are unfair why they do stuffs like that which i know is not right.. I ask why.. I don't easily believe on what adults tell me.. I still think if it's making sense.. When i was early childhood, i ask questions in my head, but just go with the flow because i have no idea of the answers..
When i became a teen, i had my own thinking of things, and honestly i thought i already know everything.. I prove that what adults do are not right, that's why i developed this sense of rebellion. I'm a rebel teen. I tries to piss of bad adults because i can.


If you found them how did it feel? Were you inspired, completely changed, disillusioned, etc...
>>hmmm. I mostly asked the fucked up stuffs in these world.. Because i usually can see more of what's wrong.. These time I'm adult, i tries to gain perspectives from other people and i learned to try to be more ignorant.. Because ignorance is a bliss and there's just things in this world that cannot be changed. So be more accepting and live in the moment and just try not to overanalyze things and don't decide based on emotions..

Are you ok with letting things be until the time is right or do you get overly impatient and push for things?
>>when i was younger i tend to push things..but i usually just creates conflict. Now I'm older.. I try to be more patient and wait for the right time to push.= this works better

If you push do some people respond well to it?
>>no ofcourse.

Do others get put off?
>>yes. That's why right timing is essential

Has it caused you any problem?
>>when i was younger. My relationship with my mother is bad..it affects actually my family

How do you know when the time is right for you to make a move?
>>when no emotions are involved or..when.. You know, try to make that person love you.. Like compliment her/him etc.. Be polite.. Because being polite takes you somewhere. Have peace. Don't get angry. If things does not go well, then shake it off. Don't dwell. There's just some things we cannot change.. Move on.

What does that feel like to you?
>>i dunno.. Strategizing. Exciting actually lol

Is your move usually mental, physical or emotional?
>>more mental. Emotions fail. Physical wise i don't even know what to do lol. Mental is the best.

Is it more in the moment of clarity or do you spend more time working out a detailed strategy?
>>moment of clarity is the best
