How to Ni Better | Introverted Intuition

Here's an exercise for this week to help as you progress your major of Ni Introverted Intuition. There is a minor in Te here as well. When do we graduate? When we 💀, so cheers to a lifetime of consciousness expansion. It's a fantastic experience.

Want to book a session with me?
Donations and business inquiries are on this link as well.

#Ni IntrovertedIntuition #LiJo

[redskyalice]

Confession: As an Ni dom, I get secretly annoyed when someone says to me, "but have you thought this through?" Yes, dammit (lol). "I've dissected this in every conceivable angle and still prying for more". Yes, yes, I have!!!!

[migsmethinks]

Ni: Hold up. Something's off.
Te: What? Are your "legal liability senses" tingling again? Or did you find another loophole to exploit?
Ni: No no... It's just...
Te: Then come on! Let's work on this difficult and/or tedious thing we have to do!
Ni: But what's the end goal?
Fi (to self): I sense ouchie.
Te: To do this!
Ni: To serve what greater end?
Te: To accomplish X.
Ni: But to what even greater end?
...
Ni: But how does it serve the end goal of living?
Te: Hold up, what's the end goal of life again?
Fi: Oh no.
Ni: Don't really know, honestly, other than whatever you want it to be and that it's a multifaceted thing, so let me consult Fi.
Fi: (speaks incoherently)
Ni: Crap. This will take awhile.
Te: We've tried this for years!
Ni: Of course. Let's not get into another existential Ni-Fi loop, seeing as it may very well paralyze everything we do again!
Te: Yup, nip this in the bud. Now!
Ni: Definitely. It's not like it matters anyway, or that anything matters for that matter...
Te: Stop that! Get out!
Ni: Right. Fi, is this thing interesting?
Fi: (shakes head no)
Ni: Te, is this thing absolutely necessary? And does anyone or anything we care about depend on it?
Te: Well... um...
Ni: Cool. That means "unlikely" and/or "not enough to spend much effort on". Either way, I hereby rule insufficient evidence that the ROI is worth it, so we're not doing it for now. Oh, and iIf and when we forget about it later, that must mean it was never really that important anyway.
Fi: Yay!
Te: Whelp, better this quick decision in the negative than another crippling Ni-Fi loop with sunk costs of having started, I guess.
Se: Hold up. We've been sitting here for a while. What were we doing again?
Ni: Just discussing why I'm right.
Se: No, I mean... You know, what, never mind.

Regarding my personal experience, Ni works best at night. Being forced to Ni with constant external triggers during daytime can drive me mad

[mariaportnov]

Also with leading NI it's important to be aware of its tendency to "experience" things and possible outcomes in the head, and later feel like you already lived through them, and then don't actually experience them in the real world with all their chaos and mutations, because you already "know" how the're like.

Ni is a gem💎 and our most valuable asset (intj/infj)

[chloekoh]

“You realise that your own consciousness is steps behind what your Ni is doing all of the time.”
Truth. I think about Sherlock Holmes saying “Intuitions are not to be ignored. They represent data processed too fast for the conscious mind to comprehend.”

[selenaitara]

Wow this video has some funny timing. So, my friends are ENFP and INFP and they mentioned wanting to open an etsy shop a week or two ago and my brain immediately went to, "okay, so what are the steps to doing this?" and started the categorization process you mentioned in the video. I didn't want to bring it up and rain on their parade because I don't think they realized the work that would need to be put in lol. Their brains literally go "ooh shiny" and bounce to the next idea or concept while I'm still fleshing out a mental outline of the previous concept - INFJ

[cameronvalentine]

One thing I've been digging deeper into is how each function is being used in normal every occurrences so that I can type people better. Even though I'm an INTJ I don't know how I would identify Ni in another person since it's such a quiet function and is happening entirely in one's mind.

[techi]

its like find shortcuts. I always am just looking for shortcuts.

[BuggyofDoom]

" I want to run an online store!" that part hit me so hard. I hear business ideas all day and it just makes my head go into pure stress mode as i am already envisioning everything they need to do, problems they will encounter and how to beat those problems before they start and then I have to catch myself and say "this person isn't actually going to follow through - so stop thinking about it"

[annquinlan]

This explanation of Ni makes me realize just how much I am doing it all of the time. It is interesting to consider just how much one function can be running the show

[katiebee]

Now I am an older and wiser infj I have decided not to expend my energy pointing out obvious oncoming train wrecks to idiots. 🚂 choo choo...

[stapleboss]

I just trust my instincts. Saves a lot of time toiling over the details. I can show my work if I have to but that just takes longer to get to the same place.

[laszlo_kovacs]

-ISTP

Okay, so basically Ni is my most neglected function. Ti and Se is defenetly natural for me, you know the stereotypical ISTP tinkering with things, DIY, working on... well any machine that i have or had, and the casual building a racecar in the backyard...
And i grew up surrounded with feelers, so even tho MBTI is pretty new for me i on porpose worked on Fe since i was like 12 because i knew that this feelings crap wasn't really my thing. So i learned how people do these feeling things from youtube lol.
In school i usually got away with minimal effort, so until recently i never. really needed to throw time and energy into planning. Therefore i succ with Ni

[Hags_]

How you explain Ni here is really Te oriented ! Might not apply to INFJs

[Robust-du]

I believe Ni is the reason why I obsess with story based games with lore and especially the ones where you make certain choices that affect how the story will end. I usually make the most positive choices in those games and try to incorporate that mindset in real life so my life will go how I desire it to be

[patronus]

I appreciate Ni so much. Gotta work real hard with Se to compensate and make it accurate, but gosh it's efficiency is everything.

[juliansthoughts]

I literally run social simulations all the time. INFJ stuff

[mariek.]

Is anyone else experiencing a sort of Ni paralysis sometimes ?
Having a vision or wish and thinking of an overall map of what could be done to bring it to reality, but the outside world full of things never going the right way or the fear of failure/imperfection just... block it from materializing. Or rather block you from taking concrete steps to make it happen (note that as INFJ I sadly do not possess the Te superpower ;) )
Anyway, I guess it's related to some Se that needs serious work. LOL

[glueball]

So well explained. I focus on shutting off my ni to enjoy playing sports and other things. But I never had it so well verbalized, as ni being 3 steps ahead of my consciousness, or “running the whole show”. Thanks.
