As an INTJ, while speaking with others, I have realised that I tend to worry a lot about possible future negative outcomes. Each time I speak with someone about a certain plan that I must complete, I start envisioning, in a very vivid way, as if I were rendering it, a simulation of myself going through with what I have to do, and what it will feel like doing so. And in a way I find hard to explain, I can somehow sense where issues may arise. I assume that this comes from being an Ni dom. Thinking about all those negative outcomes results in me starting to feel uneasy, and I have to retreat to my shell, having to start debugging, the simulation, until I have a general sense of certainty that I will know how to solve, or get over those issues I have imagined.
Speaking with my father more extensively, him being an INTP, it seems like he has similar experiences, but, in his case they are not about future outcomes of a given situation, but rather they are about categorising things. He seems to put a lot of focus into how to best fit whatever he is trying to sort or organise, into categories. He is carefully nitpicking all the possible overlaps or contradictions that could arise from the multiple ways of organising, thinking about the pros and cons of choosing one way over another. I believe that this comes from him being a Ti dom, as this, to my best knowledge, is what stems from a Ti process, desire to logically and consistently divide the world.
Having Te instead of Ti, I usually become impatient with these ponderings, that to me seem a bit excessive, as to me, the best solution is that which is functional enough to solve the issue, I tend to accept compromise over the possible logical inconsistencies much easier, if I think the solution is good enough.
on another hand, my father seems to be annoyed with me being so indecisive about choosing a course of action and having to always get stuck into analysing the best strategy, best path to take. I believe this may also come from him having Ne and enjoying a certain level of uncertainty, it is much easier for him to just go with the flow
I was wondering, what do you think of this? Do you have any better interpretation? Have you also experienced this differences? Also, having both Ni and Ti, being INFJs, would you say you say you relate to both situations?
