I prefer to keep things simple, stupid & elegant in design. I only want one elegant, good option that has the most future promise. Sifting through all possibilities to find "the one" is annoying :/. Sudden "Hey I had and idea, lets go to x place tom do y!" will be instantly shot down and I'll go into a grumpy/annoyed stubborn mode where I'll actively resist and need a lot of convincing.


1. Inability to distinguish "by chance" from "pattern". For example, some event occurs purely by chance even though the likelihood of it happening was very low, but it happened anyway, so the person tries to justify what has happened from a major cause that doesn't exist. <== everything is cause and effect and the chain of reasoning can be followed backwards.
2. Poor judgment of other capabilities. Inability to distinguish between a professional and an amateur. Giving praise to people who aren't very good yet at their skills, and treating them like they know stuff <== this isn't a problem tbh. I can see ppl's capabilities just fine / ppl are very easy to read.
3. Lack of ability to judge other people's intentions <== not really true, I just don't trust ppl from the start.
4. Extreme difficulty to grasp abstract theoretical concepts <== theoretical concepts are easy, I have above 120 IQ, even Kant's 3 critiques are easy to grasp *shrug*. The problem starts when I can't make it work under real life conditions = losing interest and moving on to more concrete things. My Ni-HA can be overwhelmed.
5. Needs detailed explanation on how concept A leads to concept B. Can't simply jump to conclusions <== not my experience. Ppl often seem to get their panties in a bunch because I don't explain how I got from A to Z, because I leave out "uninteresting" steps in between.
6. Insecure (or skepticism) of praise from others. Hard to accept compliments without skepticism <== very true
7. Analogies tend to be too concrete <== true
8. Inability to distinguish the material from the intangible <== lol wtf, bs
9. Resistance to change (probably more likely for unvalued Ne) <== change is not a problem, unviable weird alternatives are

Most of what you report here is nonsense. Look at Elon Musk LSI, its not all that bad lmao. Inb4 "muh LIE".
I mean, 1D Ne types are mostly blind to their own capabilities, because they can't integrate norms into their knowledge base, so I'm not sure you know what I'm really talking about.
But these are traits that I have observed in some people that do happen to have low Ne. It's possible that it's not only low Ne per se, maybe coupled with other "weak" functions (I'm leaning more towards feelers tbh).
