(yes, some of them are, at least if you've been reading gulenko's. But that's actually quite the fricking funny since this right here is the most intuitive message I've seen you write in ages. Hope people finally see the Ni, direct application of sensible observational methodology, not logical methodology)

I don't actually remember that occasion, but I'm sure it happened. It would be interesting to review it and see what it was about. Either 1. something in your behaviour has changed (and it has to some minor extent), or 2. I myself at that point had a worse understanding of the IP versions of Fe and Te (which I did). Now I don't actually think that reviewing the matter would prove anything but you are indeed showing Ni in the way you make this observation. The matter is such that it would have no Ne value, because Ne would make a direct observation of the whole of the matter and generally ignore little fucked up details such as this, whereas you use this fact as a guidepost in your intuitive map (in general, since there's no 100% in socionics)...

Hm, could be. My astrologist said that the number 25 and a red door are very important to me this week.

My readiness to criticize others would indicate Ni+, wouldn't it?
Well, mm, yeah, and more than a bit of Te. But I hate using the + sign since actually concrete intuition is the descending version of intuition. Fucked up, like everything in the standard socionic notation. (You could also go for the easier goal and point out that he who criticizes the most is the Critic)

Again, very intuitive, and agreeable to me. Not sure if it'll do anyone any good though. Let's see.
(Now what people should take a note a note of is the playing with whatif -scenarios, the direct opposite of analyzing observations, a hallmark signature of ta-da a narrator type).
Anyway, your quote was okay. Sorry I'm too exhausted to look for
candy for people. But what people should look for, is butting in on conversations with little explanation. That's always a good hint that we're dealing with an extravert function. Try Cone's posts. He can be quite the biting fellow when he wants to, or maybe Niffweed. For EJ Te, try anything by Expat, he's the king of it. There was also a guy called Earl a long long time ago.
But anyway, I'm exhausted. And it's not my fight anyway. I'm going to butt out of this conversation. And I need to take a nap.
Oh, by the way, thanks for catching an actual possible error of mine. I get kicks when someone pwns me legitly.
