    Default War: INTp vs INFp vs INxp (yes the crosstype)

    One more thread about INTp vs INFp. We had one loooong time ago but it is probably gone now. And anyways now I want to concentrate on the intuitive subtypes as they are puzzling me.

    So how do you know between INTp(Ni) and INFp(Ni)? What are the core features that still keep these too types different. And where are they similar? What kind of things to observe in others and in self? Do you have any theoretical explanations or perhaps even real world observations?

    If you want you can bring ENTj(Ni) and ENFj(Ni) in the discussion too but my main focus here is INTp(Ni) vs INFp(Ni).

    And if tcaud is reading this how do you describe INxp crosstype in your system?

    I'll try to tackle the question about Ni subtypes. I think you're right that it can sometimes be hard to tell, because I think INTp(Ni) uses a sort of Fe, and INFp(Ni) may appear to use Te....both more than one would expect regarding use of the PofLR.

    The different, I think, is that the INTp(Ni)'s use of Fe is very individual and never gets to a point where INTp feels at home in a group-Fe situation. The INTp(Ni) must always analyze; everything must be logical; but emotions may be used. The INTp(Ni) accepts emotional expression as something that is logical and useful in certain circumstances, but never wants it to get in the way of objectivity.

    The INFp(Ni) brings up topics that may lead to philosophical discussion. However, the INFp(Ni) never really wants to debate. While the INTp(Ni) enjoys the game of a debate, INFp(Ni) loses interest at a certain point.

    Anyhow, that's my perspective on it. I'm sure it may not apply in all cases.

    derrrrr...... one has Fe as a creative function and the other does not.
    You know how ILI's love Fe? They don't. Beta NFs do.

    Don't tell tcau, but I honestly don't see room for crosstypes. (At this present moment, anyway)
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.
    If you're in this forum to learn something, be careful. Lots of misplaced toxicity.

    In theory, yes. But some people, such as Smilex and others, have postulated that some people are sort of in-between or might move back and forth. Tcaud's of course is another such theory.

    I think the question is based on the idea of this possibility.

    The standard answer...that ILIs hate Fe and EIEs hate Te, end of story....is correct according to the classical theory, but it misses the central issue...that is, are there border types, or crosstypes, or whatever one wants to call them.

    ILIs don't really *hate* Fe.

    But place a Ni IEI in a crowd of people that he/she knows well. You'll still see, very very clearly, the Fe. He/She will talk to everybody, be a bit of a showoff, tell stories. This does not happen to ILIs that, yes, can be talkative, but usually on one-on-one situations more than when given attention by a group. I have less experience with Ni-ILIs though, so I'll refrain from further comments.

    Now for the comparison between Ni-INFp and Fe-INFp. Fe-INFp are usually more concerned about status, Ni-INFp are slightly more nerdy and naive. Fe-INFps tend to be fashion-conscious and dress with much less restraint than Ni-INFps. They are also much more approachable, they tend to be loud, as opposed to Ni-INFps that can get talkative in the situation I described but, as a general rule, they still very much look like introverts. Ni-INFp girls can be confused for ISFjs-Fi.

    I think that in terms of behavior, it may be tricky to differentiate a Ni-IEI from a Ni-ILI when observing them. I think FDG's observations are good. But also, a Ni-ILI will still be more likely to make points using facts or supposed facts, where a Ni-IEI will use more ideas and convictions than facts in their arguments.

    Crosstype INTp-INXp:

    1st to last...

    1)
    2)
    3)
    4)
    5)
    6)
    7)
    8)


    is the ability to perceive the influence of others feelings in the meaningfulness of collectively accepted data. Producing creates a collective initiative which accomplishes a response to others' feelings. "feeling tone logic" as I interpret it. PoLR perceives the relationship of what society/others are feeling as related to what they are trying to accomplish. For example, says definitively that the frustration with government in the U.S. is tied specifically to the problems in Iraq and the failure to catch Osama bin Laden.

    without , in contrast, doesn't try to ask why others are feeling the way they do. There could be infinitely many reasons so why bother? They feel that way and that's the situation which must be responded to. Big difference. One has a narrow interpretation of why things are the way they are, the other has a much wider and varied view.

    The success of the two in objective terms can be seen in the election results: those who predicted that the war in Iraq/terror situation was the reason for the discontent in America were vindicated; those who tried to ignore the correlation proved incorrect. (and in some cases, defeated)


    Crosstype INFp-INXp:

    1)
    2)
    3)
    4)
    5)
    6)
    7)
    8)

    Producing creates feelings which are relevant to others' prioritiies. For example, creating a sort of furor over a band with friends. People have an interest in music, so it makes sense to create feelings which will intensify this interest.

    (in regard to the above paragraph, I'm thinking of a specific character in a movie which starred KISS. Now what was that movie called?)

    No experience at all with crosstyping.

    Following the observations of my brother against myself (he happens to be IEI, although i'm inclined to believe Ni subtype, this is not definite).
    I will go and use Ti as the distinctive indicator distinguishing ILI an IEI.
    Exposing a particular situation concerning a LII good friend (no known subtype yet) of both of us.

    IEI and ILI start chatting.
    As Ni primarily domains personality, philosophy of I-Ching and Evolution are main topics of discussion.
    Perception of I-ching mutations are welcomed as well as ideas relevant to the manifestation of i chings symbols. The development of consciouness as a result of the use of i-ching is main concern.
    No argument yet, judgment of usefulness and synthesis are accepted, as well as following plausible causaiton of internal processes.

    LII friend arrives.
    The argument turns around the logical consistency of the system.
    Me argues about holistic perspective and synthetic reality, but LII friend fails to come to agreement. Instead it mocks concept of coincidence as understood by confucius.
    My brother instead of arguing listens to both points of view and starts to appreciate LII friend's perspective of the cultural dependace of the system.
    Soon he starts to argue in favor of analysis. Logical parts are seen as building the symbol and giving it meaning.
    I start scorning about reducing the plausible meaning by oversymplifying the definitions.

    Soon a pattern emerges:
    LII keeps on analysis without understanding synthetic plausibility. Every new approach to structure seems to leave holistic perspective behind.
    My brother instead, starts collecting multiple approach of the consitent analysis of LII, he says it's helpful for understanding.
    Me starts using analysis for it to backfire; logical consistent but irrelevant considerations.

    After 5-10 minutes i-ching has been left behind.
    LII still laughs and brings up comments about the incoherent but logical inferences i sardonicaly arrived at.
    Brother is pissed because argument became unhelpful and he didn't came to understand, feels confused.
    I am dissapointed of having to end the argument's "fun" in favor of stisfying brother need for rest.

    As i see it the main difference is that way of using formal logic. ILI uses formal logic as a joke to mock the lack of usefulness it has without a practical concern. Without an algorithm, formal logics make no sense; it sees how anything could be proved and pushes itself to show others so.
    IEI reacts differently to formal logic, it listens to analysis trying to see how it fits in reasoning. Hidden agenda is understanding, thus needs to use any information available; when faced with consistency it looks for a way for grounding the self to consider his imagination is not at all that unpractical.
    But ILI can easily keep on arguing about consistency, it doesn't like doing so, because it seems like it makes no sense; nevertheless it can effectively keep on arguing and the argument can bring interesting imagery to feed Ni with more ideas.
    IEI on the other side, rapidly becomes exhausted with the argument. It can keep on arguing but will stop at the time it isn't helping its understanding of the situation any longer.

    Wikipedia and I are going to have a go at your post because that sounds really fucking interesting but I don't know the belief systems being argued about.

    No one reads wikipedia for socionics information. At least, nobody in their right mind.

    I don't use crosstype theory anymore, but for your information INXP refers to sociopathic ILIs and IEIs.

    is there a discussion about this somewhere? i would like to get informed

    Tcaudillg is certainly on the right track:
    - some years ago he proposed crosstype theory which he doesn't support anymore...
    - today he claims that dual-type theory is the future of socionics...
    - in some years he will realize that complete subtype theory is what socionics really needs...

    Infp: that which does not exist still will be developed if it means something to people in the effect it will have
    intp: that which does not exist will only be developed efficiently (market forces)


    Facts: that which exist only in reality, obstacles logically
    This is dumb as shit if you know quadra progression. ILI comes after IEI and makes an algorithm. IEI actually envisions what will become reality and SLE pushes it to become real.
    ILIs are very concerned with efficiency
    IEI's are concerned with the fucking effect/energy. The IEI comes before the ILI. The ILI is the curmudgeon "thats not efficient blah blah I'm a whiny bitch who needs everything efficient thus i cant make anything new unless its to make it efficient and don't understand social effect one bit nor how im being an ass to the people around me by being 'efficient'", the IEI the idealist/dreamer who doesn't give a shit about efficiency beyond basic parameters.
    For example
    IEI:socionics should be developed
    ILI: thats not efficient, its unproven
    IEI: your an idiot it is because it works, everything unproven that works will be proven, how does anything uproven become real if not tested, its promising, eat my asshole
    ILI: im a curmudgeon, your an idiot, i can only be efficient, borg style , lick my parameters.
    IEI: is this a joke? this fits perfectly with the Ti system known as socionics, farts green flame out its fucking eyeballs and asshole.
    IXI crosstype:im stoned and hungry, lets find a hot beyotch. What was that? Explodes into rainbow flames because of non existence and utter ridiculosness and inefficiency resonances.
