Introverted Intuition - Ni (INFJ, INTJ)
Introverted Intuition - Ni (INFJ, INTJ)
Ni’s constantly wonder and guess in their head - they do this so often that they often don’t even realize that they are doing it. It more or less becomes a part of them. Ni’s easily get lost in the mind and are thus very introspective, and often pull out ingenious ideas and insights. They view life more globally than any other type, striving to never let themselves forget about the big picture. Ni’s constantly shift their perspectives, and view and understand things from different angles and in different ways.
Under extreme stress Ni’s become paranoid and overly withdrawn. Their inferior function jumps them, and they become overly interested in details and obsessed with physical pleasure. They become slaves to childlike impulses, sometimes ruining themselves with their decisions in the process.
Ni’s confidently trust their intuitions, insights, ideas, and inspirations - often no matter what others say. Their thoughts become part of who they are. They don’t need to rely on others, and they enjoy time to themselves. Their strong independence is a good thing, but they also have a natural suspicion about others and need to learn to trust them (INTJ’s in particular).
Ni’s prefer to think things through as completely as possible and dislike it when others come to quick, simplistic conclusions. Ni’s are known to get frustrated with others. INTJ’s are more likely to show this than INFJs, but nonetheless it is there, and often strongly felt. Ni’s need to remind themselves that they are extremely rare and should be proud that they see things that others don’t. Nonetheless one can certainly understand their grievance with what sometimes seems like the shallow, ignorant ways of the world.
Ni’s continually think about the future, what it may hold, and how what they are currently doing with their life affects it. Ni’s are too often hypersensitive to contingencies, possibilities and implications. To the Ni, anything is possible and could happen. Some Ni’s focus too much on those “coulds” and become worrywarts. Ni’s need to develop their auxiliary function to keep them in touch with the reality of the external world. When Ni’s don’t use their other functions, their unique visions turn to far-fetched crackpot theories, and their confidence turns to downright obstinance.
Another source of frustration for Ni’s is their difficulty articulating their complex views and intuitions. However, when they are able to do this, the result is typically both impressive and impactful.

My sister said that in college I will...
Future tense. You're younger than I thought, which means you're quite mature for your age. Or at least you seem to be when you're on the internet. Either way, props to you, midnightmelody!
And what did you mean about the problem solving bit? I didn't quite follow you. (Don't worry - I've got no problem admitting when I'm lost!)
It bugs a lot of people that I habitually stick a "you know what I mean?" after half of the things I say. I only do that because people don't typically catch the message I'm trying to send. I have to make sure they are following me.
wow, I do that too... wayyy too often
My version is "know what I'm sayin'?" lol
I would want my answer to be thorough and well thought out, as opposed to something semi-processed or half-formed.
Picking out a conclusion and trying to back it up may not always work, as you may not end up what you started with--the problem. I don't know how much more I can break it down. I tried. >_<
Also, the bolded is why I sometimes mistrust science and certain theories. I feel as though there are an infinite number of variables that could act on a situation at any given time, and while science does a fairly thorough job of measuring the ones that are known to be in existance, it obviously cannot measure things beyond human perception. I believe there are such things that are impossible to ever know, simply because of our limited human minds. I sometimes feel as though scientists can be a little bit overconfident in themselves. This is not to say that I do not think science has come a great way in proving many things that we can readily know about our world.
