Si - introverted sensing

[Khamelion]

how does it manifest itself

[aestrivex]

propogatingly.

[Slava]

If you watch the movie, dog show, (i think thats the name) youll get a very clear idea.

[science as magic]

is like very intense for me. i am fascinated with "dark" ? i sort of think of that version of it as this black hole of despair in which you sink into yourself and then blossom forth in an explosion of creativity (?) "Dark" is sort of obsessed with aberrant things? it's sort of macabre? a good example would be a sculptor that makes statues of people with deformities or something. painting pictures of lepers with lesions oozing and seeing a quiet grace in suffering or something. this is all sort of slanted toward the side of things but yeah

this song seems to me

lyrics

[UDP]

If there was an Si song (definitely alpha but perhaps more ISFp most likely (though of course the brigher side)), it is "Strawberry Jam", by Ai Otsuka.

It is on my myspace music player, towards the bottom, if you are interested.


As for S/M,
that 'appears' more ILI.

[science as magic]

not really. aggregates the sensations more? it turns everything into a sort of a caricature of a thing rather than seeing the thing as it is and being weirded by it

[UDP]

Oh... I hadn't even looked / heard the song at that moment....

[Ms. Kensington]

strangely, I also associate Si with decay. I am also sort of fascinated with those sort of things. It's a bit revealing about me. but I think of introverted functions as going inward and inward to a smaller space. I think of Si as texture and Se as surface area. Someone described an Si person's mind as a "flytrap", which I thought was good. I also think of Si as slow and sensual and Se as forceful and fast.

korean horror movies.

[UDP]

try the link button at the bottom of my posts "www"...

[UDP]

myspace is acting strange right now.

[eunice]

korean horror movies.

I agree. My ISFP friends absolutely love this type of movies, or any horror movies for that matter. Anyway, I hate watching them. Same old plot, same agenda, and scaring yourself over nothing.

That's because you are a Fe-dominant IP

is like the feeling the undulating currents when you put the palms of your hands gently into a stream (sensations), whereas is about the understanding + prediction of long-term trends in objects (visions). Although, types have visions too apparently - but I think it's more to do with maintaining comfort with objects by maintaining close proximity with them or avoiding them, whereas types seem to have a sense of inevitability about their dreams\visions happening? (don't really know).

EDIT: I think have less of a fatalistic view of things (i.e. visions) because their 'visions' involve real objects, so they have a greater sense of control\certainity?

[olduser]

Si types like to design-- no matter the context.

[Republicus]

if you want to see some Si in action follow this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt_Psychology

The principles of Emergence Reification Multistability and Invariance are all clearly Si in manifesting itself in your perceptions.

Ok, you can't really put too many swearwords 2ghetha, otherwise god gets ugly, dontcha think?

How is "dark" thought Fe related? Fe dominant types avoid that sort of anti-social thought process like the plague.

Si is about focusing more on the here-and-now, what's close at hand, in front of you, "reality", rather than on Ni, that is, on what was or will be, the big picture, the consequences, or on whether what you're doing will be pointless or not.

The most direct perception of the here-and-now is through your senses, that's the most "real" part of reality.

The most direct perception is your senses, but seems to be more of a process, rather than in the here-and-now - its linked to memory of pleasant + unpleasant sensations - though obviously, in the here-and-now, types like to recreate those sensations stored in their memory.

[Expat]

Yes, but it's here-and-now when compared to , that was my point.

[Not A Communist Shill]

might appear to be more here-and-now than , seeing as is more abstract and difficult to understand from an outside observer, but they both occur over the same timespan, don't they? + operate both when the moment is right, but the experiencing of sensations by seems more 'now' than the alternative in , because is utilising real objects they have memorised, although at some point in the past.

Zen Buddhism?

Yes.

(Though not according to some people.)

I think the trouble is that if you're used to imagining sensory things, Ni and Si can become confused. Say you're an artist, and you imagine stuff that you make up in your head, and it's all very made-up and whimsical and not very here-and-now at all. But you realize it in a very, very vivid way so that people can touch it and feel it, so that you've made it here-and-now.

Now what is that...Ni imagining Si (or imagining Se)? Ne imagining Si? A wild and crazy form of Si? acc-N with crea-S?

In any case, if a person is like this artistically but seems more N overall in real life, chances are it's really N, I guess.

Sort of?

That's because you are a Fe-dominant IP

No that's because she's NiSi dominant....

You can taste, feel, touch the experience of an imagined sequence of events, right Clover?

[science as magic]

Sort of?

some formations
of gestalt
had been correlated
with
and
within myself
however
certain aspects
are most probably


@expat: i do not think
that is
necessarily
in the here
and now
because it can be about
focusing
on a particular sensation
while the others
are in the backround

focusing on the smell of a rose
whilst the tv screen in front of you flickers
por ejemplo

it is my opinion
that in this manner
translate into
and in
a greater sense
the dual functions
how
they translate one into another

Smell too...I'm probably most sensative to smell...

I've been very interested in this lately.
