@Resonare Ok cool, what statement(s) made you think so? Or just a feeling?

@Food Great that's already super helpful, you were more confident in evaluating these than you said at the beginning also, don't worry Why would you value talking about significant events in the second last question?

I wouldn't draw a blank there because I have a very good long term memory. I remember in great detail how I felt and what was going on during many seemingly inconsequential moments going all the way back to when I was about four years old. I value talking about significant life events with friends that I trust, because I believe that significant life events greatly influenced the person I am today, and I would like them to have a better understanding of who I am. I believe that understanding your past and how it influences your present behavior is essential in understanding the self and maximizing quality of life in the future. Self-knowledge is something I greatly value. In my head I have a clear timeline of my life and how events have influenced who I am.

Thanks for elaborating, this is a very precise benchmark of base right here. You seem to work with purpose a lot internally, do you have a similar approach like this, do you disagree, or does it go beyond that:

What is the purpose of life? What do you find personally meaningful in life?

42. The truth is, I don’t really think there is any particular purpose to life. I guess you could say evolutionarily our purpose is to reproduce and spread our genes throughout the population. I’m not sure I really agree with that necessarily. I’m still trying to figure this out myself. I think it comes down to the experience itself more than accomplishing any one particular thing. And I don’t necessarily think you need a purpose beyond appreciating life.

That's strong Ni only if it's all seen in terms of a meta narrative. I could have written many of his lines on this myself (with a slightly different emphasis overall though) and I'm not strong in Ni, only in Si. Si would not see it in terms of the meta stuff but just sees it by sensing directly the influences of the events.

I essentially agree with it. I don't believe in the existence of an external, objective purpose. I believe that purpose is a uniquely human, subjective phenomenon. If someone perceives their purpose to be social Darwinian reproduction, and they derive meaning from that, then that is their purpose. You could say that non-human animals follow a purpose to survive and reproduce, but they don't perceive it as purpose. They don't possess brains capable of understanding meaning. They're driven by instinct, not purpose. Some animals are highly intelligent, such as the African grey parrot, but I don't believe any non-human animal is intelligent enough to understand or derive meaning from purpose.

I think I disagree with this part:

I believe that depends on the individual. Personally, I know what would bring me happiness and contentedness in the long term, and I understand the steps necessary to make it happen. I lack the willpower, determination, and confidence to climb those steps. For me, the journey is a struggle that I must overcome to reach my goal. That's pretty much my purpose.

Yeah, emphasis on non-objective so you know the element is introverted.

suggestive in the last paragraph, hence the difference is that you rather refer to the objective accomplishment but one's own path.
