Do you have Extroverted Intuition? Ne

How is extroverted intuition like a tree? How can you recognize its cognitive path in yourself or others? This video takes us on a bit of the Ne journey to help understand it better. Will you join me?

Throughout these past couple of years, I have learned a lot about typology. The more I learn, the more I realize just how limited one single person's perspective is. Each person can only see a small sliver of reality, based on what their personality type is. No one sees all of reality for what it really is.

I believe that this is where the strength of Ne comes in. From what I have perceived, People with savior Ne seem to be sort of automatically aware of this, even if this awareness is subconscious. Because anything is possible, and one single person's past experiences and sensory knowledge could never provide an understanding of all of reality.

It must be so cool to have functions and types so saturated in your brain that you can see them unfolding before your eyes 👀

ENFP here! Being Ne-dom makes it really hard to talk to people because if they're on the same page, they're great, but if they're not, they hate it. My Si-dom mom always forces me to stop talking and then re-explain my entire thought process, which takes all the energy out of the conversation and makes me want to stop talking to her altogether. Never make a Ne-dom do that. You'll ruin their day.

Lol I'm an INFP and sometimes I catch myself in my thoughts, thinking how the hell did I end up here. And then I try to go backwards in my mind to the starting point of this very thought. And it's often reeeally abstract and not so obvious, even to myself.

Being Ne dominant helps me make connections and gain insights others don’t see. It is however painful for others to watch me think out loud. I talk to my office white board to draw out my ideas before explaining it to anyone. Have to have some good friends/colleagues for bouncing nascent concepts off. The catch is there’s no lens for filtering what’s practical.

See, one thing that I do to curb the randomness of the branching in a conversation is that I backtrack or say something along the lines of "But back to what we were initially talking about" and that's when I tend to explain how I made that observation or that connection. Great video Lijo <3

A lot of people compare Ne to a web (which I think is pretty accurate). Ni seems to be more like a rope—intertwining relevant known information to make their concepts and ideas strong.

[ProbablePaul]

Something that always stuck in my mind as an INTP was during a workshop we had a ball that kept rolling around, and someone wanted it to stop moving. But, everything we had was straight, like a stick, a rope and a block. I recommended we use the rope and my other team members said "the rope is only going to stop it from rolling in one direction" I replied "not if we form it into a loop around the base of the ball". It's not the best example, but it was a time where I caught myself using my Ne.

It's like Ne remembers how many different ways something can exist or be used, and Ni remembers how something was most useful at one time - which explains the need for Se to explore new things and find many different things for many different purposes. Or, Ne is good at finding alternative uses for things, and Ni is good at finding the greatest use for something.

I usually end up in a different forest - maybe in a different continent too.
What you just described I used to call free-association thinking, or knight-step thoughts (knight as a chess piece).

My actual train of thought just now: Purple background in this video > The Color Purple > Whoopi Goldberg > Star Trek: the Next Generation

[vanessavalentin]

this is SUCH a beautifully direct explanation. I had the longest time struggling to fully comprehend how my own savior Ne manifested in my day to day life because it is so subconscious, but this is really just a perfect way to put it.

Im ENFP and my wife is INFP. You can imagine how our conversation goes when we are in flow together . Most beautiful and fun and intimate way to bond ever.. i just love NE types ❤😍 childlike with alot of energy and at the same time wise like an old soul. 🥳😍 my big brother is INTP. It never get boring 🥳🥳

Sometimes we need to get off topic .. or it will seem like we are getting off topic, but we are now combining alot of different but the same.. and putting them together so we can make more sense of what we actually are talking about.. i notice when talking to my friend . Infj. Which is a great listener.. but i know where he is going with the subject long beforehand. They are so predictable. Never new insights. They tend to bring the same thought or vision into every other subject. As one thing can explain everything. So sometimes they never let new things come in.. that is boring 😅

[kristannestone]

Just thought I'd mention, the background and lighting for this segment is striking. The look is a keeper!

[HelloThere-kimg]

I realized recently that my Ne is a lot like that one Wikipedia game where you start with one article and try to click links to get to a completely unrelated one as fast as you can 😂

I think it's a really cool way to practice using Ne, because it makes you think of all the possible things these two unrelated subjects have in common in order to find the right links in your current article. So I think it's great for people who want to understand it or learn how to use it, and unhealthy addictive for those who have it as their dominant function 😂

I also think it's a great tool for me as an Ne user to be able to see the train of thought I took and analyze why I made those connections in retrospect. This is an example of one I did, where I had to go from artificial intelligence to Jewish holidays:

"Artificial intelligence", "Human intelligence",
"Language", "Music", "String instrument"
"Harp", "Angel", "Abrahamic religions"
"Judaism" "Jewish holidays"

Normally I wouldn't be aware of those connections that I'm making, so it's really interesting to see them from a removed perspective.

I love your content. You skip the ego stroking and go straight for the goods. Anyway, you said the word tangent in a video about Ne and immediately I thought "whatever she says is right from here on out." Nailed it. As an ENTP, I imagine that listening to me monologue about 200 things and constantly forgetting about the previous thing as I move on until I pause realizing that I might be losing the other person and they-wait-it's either stressful or fun that is what I have gathered from interactions abroad. An interested person who enables the thought train and "enjoys" it jumping from track to track, is genuinely the most pleasant interaction I can think of. It cures depression. Imagine spending life seeing the stress you just talking causes (having fun with that or not) and then someone WANTs to come along or stays engaged? OH that is better than sex. It's better than discovering an untended raft in a river in a forest-borrowing isn't stealing yano.

[kristannestone]

My ENFP daughter wll often say "My brain just exploded into dozens of thoughts and ideas." I love that about her. As an Ni, I find her funcrions interesting and absolutely DELIGHTFUL!

[HerrFinsternis]

Thanks for explaining it so well. Up untill now the phrase "Ne (immediately) sees all the possibilities" didn't make me understand but the way you put is completely relatable. The branchings paths, the jumps to (seemingly) unrelated parts of the tree ... could be fun to map these travels out for a while.

[rehammohammed]

I want to add:

Thank you so much for making your content as short and straightforward as possible.

The communicaton between your Ni and Te does my short-tempered Ne a favor!

One of your biggest fans already! 🌸

[heathergaskins]

Being Ne dominant, this is the best explanation I have ever heard of Ne.

[lalisapark]

Thank you so much for making this video. I was a little confused about what exactly extroverted intuition is. I was like 95% sure that I am an INFP but the problem was I never saw the Ne function in me based on the defenition and I just didnt know how it works. However, now that you gave me this great example I can totally see it !!
